toric Brandenburg Gate, the
famed landmark that cuts the
main street of the East and
West sectors.
Armored cars with mounted
machine guns were posted at
key points. But hundreds OF
soldiers in the Soviet-Style
uniforms were seen just squat
ting around and looking rather
disinterested in the commo-
ton. Many were reading extra
editions of Neues Deutschland,
the official East German Com
muniSt organ, which carried
details of the border closing,
All but one of East Berlin's
stations for the elevated rail-
way and subway to West Ber-
lin we're closed and under
heavy guard. The one station
open was for West Berliners
only. 1t Swarmed with police
on the lookout for East Ber-
liners. ...#
Barbed wire barricades were
thrown up all along the border
and only 13 of the previous 80
crossing points were left open
to traffic. At several the
streets were partially torn up,
reducing traffic to a single
line.
East Germans were told by
Gerhard EiSler, one of the
chief Communist propagandists
that the travel ban is here to
stay. He threatened that those
who object had better think
twice.
Eisler, who fled to East
Germany after jumping bail in
the United States, defended the
presence of troops in East
Berlin and said they were there
as protection against western
provocateurs."
He said If the West tries to
remove the ban by force the
whole Soviet-led Communist
bloc would stand together to
defend the border.
The outburstS of violence
yesterday were scattered and
spasmodic. There were no re-
ports Of gunfire.
Border Clash Broken Up

border clashes was in the

can sector of West Berlin

CONCANucu FROM rlESt rage
Linden avenue and around the
corner along the Wilhelm
strasse leading up to Hitler's
former Reich chancellery, there
were more troops.
The few East Berliners to be
seen were kept several hundred
yards away from the border. I
was constantly asked to iden-
tify myself as I walked along.
Station Is Busy
Dozens of armored personnel
carriers were crammed with
troops in olive-green uniforms,
styled like those of the Soviet
army.
The men lounged around,
looking rather disinterested.
Near the Hallisches Gate, a
border crossing point still open
to West Berliners. we're
armored cars, jeeps and trucks
and more squatting soldiers
Part of the pavement was torn
up, and traffic trickled through
a small opening. Cars leaving
the Eastern Sector were care
fully checked.
Friedrichstrasse Station, now
the only place in East Berlin
which you can reach by sub
way or elevated train, buZzed
with police activity.
the station was tightly
cordoned off. There were
frequent checks as I approached
it. East Germans were not
allowed to pass. Inside there
were plenty of East Berliners.
They could arrive from the
East and leave for the East,
but could not enter the plat
form on which elevated trains
go westward.
Station Off Limits
The subway station under
meath was sealed off from all
East Germans. Trains passing
through were for Western folk
only, committing between the
north and south of the city,
which are under Western con-
troll.
Until the Iron Curtain came
down, many East Germans and
East Berliners merely used to
walk down to the. subway sta
tion and ride over to the West.
Now all East Berlin stations
on that north-south subway
line are closed and heavily
guarded. Trains speed through
without stopping.
Alexander Platz, in the heart
of East Berlin, where the Sta
llnallee starts, also was crowded
with soldiers, although it is
not near the zone border.
Rifle-carrying police and mi
litiamen were patrolling every
where I went. The presence of
the armed men seemed to have
created an atmosphere Of ten
sion. Few East Berliners talked
to the soldiers, militia or police,
Most eyed them with suspicion.
An Indian tourist was wan
dering around Alexander Platz.
What is this all about?"
He asked me. Are we at war?
I hope not"

Traffic Not Affected
The ban did not apply to the
$4,000 West Berliners who work
in East Berlin nor to traffic
between West Germany and
West Berlin, including the sup
ply line to the allied garrisons
that Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev wants to force out OF

In Bonn, the ambassadors of
the Western Big Three and the

called the halt of the refugee
flow by the Communists the
most serious breach to date
of the four-power agreements
on Berlin.

Uprising Threat Admitted
| The admission of the posi-
bility of an uprising was un-
usual since the East German
rulers usually claim support
from the broad masses.
Skirmishes broke out between
angry West Berliners and Com
munist peoples police yesterday
and last night at several points
along the 25-mile border that
cuts the city in half. Thou
sands of West Berliners massed
along the border, shouting in

official at the Brandenburg
gate-formerly one of the main
escape routes for refugees

so tense "it just needs a spark
