RedsF|yBer|in
Lanes at Night

BERLIN, Mar. II (AP).-
Soviet planes roamed the Berlin
corridors during the night, fly
ing the tense air lanes for the
first time after dark, Western
officials said today.
The Western allies called the
Soviet flights an annoyance.
Four Soviet military trans
ports piled the northernmost of
the three corridors, ITS miles
long, from isolated Berlin to
the Iron Curtain border near
Hamburg. Western planes flew
normally and there were no
incidents reported. The SovietS
did their flying between 8 and
8 o'clock.
Russian aircraft showed up
in the corridor again at day.
break.
So far these Soviet planes
have made no physical diff
culties, even when they fly at
about the same time and height
as Western commercial pas
senger planes. The corridors
are 20 miles wide and there Is
plenty Of space for safety.
There was no public ques-
tioning of the Soviet right to
fly the corridors. Some pilots
even expressed satisfaction. that
the flights are being regularly
announced by the Soviets
through the Berlin Air Safety
Center.
"As long as we are told when
and where they are flying"
said one Western airman,
there isn't anything to worry
about"
But Western officials point
out that the Soviet planes have
no real need to fly the corridors
and seem to be doing it only
to assert themselves. Soviet
planes have plenty of other
space they can use.
