All elevated lines in West Berlin formerly patronized by at least 500.000 passengers daily were paralyzed The Reichsbahn's campaign to resume East-West traffic inside the city was futile thus far. although railway workers had been recruited from other cities of the Soviet zone to break the strike. Cargo trucks were converted to buses, with the West Berlin government's permission to ease the transport problem. But Western municipal officials asked the public to boycott the rlevatcd railway, pending a settlement of the strike. Interzonal trains from Western Germany were getting back on schedule, after being held up early in the strike.

They loaded and unloaded on the city's outskirts, and did not use the regular terminals in the center of Berlin. Another incident in which Russian soldiers were stoned by a strike mob occurred yesterday. A truck carrying 30 men in Soviet uniforms was bombarded with rocks when it halted near the Am-zoo station in the British sector. British sector police protected them as the truck departed.
