Soviets Seize Convoy, Start New Squabble BERLIN," June 28 -op)- Russia touched off a new east-west squabble today by seizing a truck convoy as it approached Berlin from western Germany. The vehicles carried vital power plant machinery for west Berlin. U. S. and British authorities quickly protested directly to Sov iet military government author ities. They said the action was in direct violation of the four power blockade-lifting agreement. The new incident occurred as the 38-day rail strike ended with out any trains actually being moved. It also coincided with the "re opening of four-power talks the first In 15 months seeking to work out a "live and let live" policy for the partitioned reich." U. S. officials announced the truck convoy incident and said t they had joined the British in a protest. An American statement said: "British and American author ities are negotiating with the Soviets in order to obtain release of the trucks and the machine parts. Until now nothing is known about the location of the trucks." The number of vehicles was not specified. The convoy was stopped bv "tissian guards at tne Dreilindcn check-point on the outskirts of Berlin. They challenged the va- liriity of the cargo's papers. The cargo was consigned with proper west German papers which, since the blockade was lifted, are supposed to be all that are necessary for clearance to west Berlin.
