Rebuff
Qroup-Captain H. M. S. Wright, deputy head of the British Air Branch, Berlin, stated today that if the Russians tried to change the flying rules into Berlin, the Western Allies would disregard the change and keep on flying down the three air corridors which the four-power agreement established. He saw no way of the Russians closing the corridors unless they resorted to armed action. New regulations governing the use of the air corridors between Berlin and the Western zones were forecast by the official Soviet newspaper the Taegliche Rundschau. It said that Soviet flight experts have come to the conclusion that the time had come to regulate the problem of air corridors which extend over a considerable area of the Soviet zone. The paper adds that repeated demands by the Soviet military administration to keep within fixed regulations had been ignored.
