The border closing immediately drew charges by Western sources here that the Red action was in direct violation of numerous four-power agreements not to take any action to interfere with free movement between the two parts of divided Berlin. They said it specifically violated the agreement under which the previous Soviet blockade was lifted in 1949. Communist police sealed the frontier with the full approval of the Soviet Union and the Communist bloc.

They acted after a communique from the Warsaw Pact nations containing such approval was distributed by the Communist East German ADN news agency.

The move came after a record number of more than 2500 refugees fled to the West from the Communist zone Saturday. The divided city's border was sealed off by the Communists only an hour after the Soviet bloc of nations announced that East Germany had been authorized to establish "effective control" over the East-West frontier. A truckload of "people's police" pulled through the Brandenburg gate into the 100-yard-wide East German zone west of the archway and set up red and white striped barrier posts at 2:30 a.m. (9:30 p.m., EDT). The Reds stopped all traffic attempting to pass the border.

A car with UPI staff members was halted three times in a test of the blockade. It tried to pass the border through the gate which leads to the Unter Den Linden.

LEARY Along the Massachusetts coast yesterday, a breeze would every once in awhile bestir itself, find the exertion a little too much, and subside in the heat.

Inland, no such efforts were made. People watched for them, for the little ripple of a flag, or the gentle sway of a treetop. but the signs did not appear.
