BERLIN AIR LIFT
LORD MAYOR SEEKS INCREASE LONDON, Dec. 13. “The Lord Mayor of Berlin (Professor Reuter) said he had asked the Western allies to double the air lift from its present average of about 4000 tons daily,” says the Berlin correspondent of the British United Press. “The Lord Mayor said: ‘Even 8000 tons is not enough to give Berliners anything like a normal life.’ “He also asked that the Russian zone currency be declared invalid in Berlin. He has already had talks on that subject with the three Western Military Governors.” The Berlin correspondent of the Associated Press says that Professor Reuter has also asked the Western Powers to reorganise the Kommandatura without the Russians.
