Gen. Clay Admits He Asked
OK to Fight Red Blockade
New York, Feb. 9 (U.R) Gen. Lucius D. Clay, then U S. military
governor, proposed in 1948 that the United States send an armed
convoy across the Soviet zone of Germany to Berlin to break the
Soviet blockade of the city.
The U. S. government rejected the proposal, according to Clay,
because of the risk that it migni
provoke an armed, conflict with
Russia.
Clay confirms his oft-rumored
blockade-breaking proposal
for the first time in "Decision
in Germany," his own story of
his four years in the Reich, pub
lished today by Doubleday.
He said he sent the proposal
to Washington on July 10, 1948,
less than three weeks after the
Soviets had clamped a complete
land-water blockade on Berlin
on the pretext of "technical dif
ficulties." By then, Clay said, he was
convinced that the Soviet gov
ernment did not want war, but
believed the western allies
would yield much rather than
risk testing the Russian position.
Said Clay:
"I reported this conviction to
our government, suggesting that
we advise the Soviet representa
tives in Germany that under our
rights to be in Berlin we pro
posed on a specific date to move
If in an armed convoy which
would be equipped with the en
gineering material to overcome
the technical difficulties which
the Soviet representatives ap
peared unable to solve.
"I made it clear that I under
stood fully the risk and its Im
plications and that mis was a
decision which could be made
only by the government.
"No armed convoy could
cross the border without the
possibility of trouble. In my
view, the chances of such a con
voy being met by force with
s u b s e quent developments of
hostilities were small. I was
confident that it would get
through to Berlin and that the
highway blockade would be
ended.
"When our government turn
ed down my suggestion, I un
derstood its desire to avoid this
risk of armed conflict until the
issue had been placed before the
United Nations. I shall always
believe that the convoy Would
have reached Berlin."
Clay defended his reduction
in the jail sentence meted out to
Use Koch, so-called "Witch of
Buchenwald." He said that on
the record of the trial he could
not find her a major participant
in the war crimes committed at
the Nazi horror camp at Bu
chenwald. "A sordid disreputable char
acter, .she had delighted in
flaunting her sex, emphasized
by tight sweaters and short
skirts, before the long-confined
male prisoners, and had devel
oped their bitter hatred," Clay
said.
"Nevertheless, these were not
the offenses for which she was
being tried and so I reduced her
sentence, expecting the reaction
which came."
Clay warned that Germany
can tip the scales either way in
the present east-west world bal
ance of pownr.
"West German government
cannot endure over the years,"
he said, "unless it is taken back
into the family of European na
tions who believe that the rights
of the individual are too pre
cious to be absorbed in the
state."
