OCTOBER 17, 1963 erlin Corridor Incident Emphasizes Fragile Nature of Truce in Cold War WTPVt HIT 1IITVCI cv ! : : i...; i : k. .... ..ui:.-U . .i ij: . j: i i i it.u.j ci.- .fi i i .i ..... Bv STEWART 1IENSLEY WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Berlin corridor showdown, de spite its peaceful outcome, em phasized today the fragile na ture of the cold war diplomatic "truce." It underlined, top American officials said, the fact that the Berlin and German problems remain at the heart of the East West dispute, untouched by eas ing of tension on other issues. They acknowledged, loo, that the two-day confrontation was bound to provide political am munition for administration foes to assert that President Kennedy is walking into a Rus sian trap when he tries to reach tension-easing accommodations with the Kremlin. The President and other U.S. officials, in recent talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, have tiptoed around the explosive Berlin and Ger man issues while Soviet-American officials try to find some area of agreement on less vol atile issues. Mansfield Glad Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., said he was "awfully glad the "mis understanding' has been cleared up and I hope there will be no more incidents of this kind in the future." He said "one out come of this confrontation has been to more firmly establish the right of access and exit to 1 and from West Berlin." Mans , field added that it was "my 1 guess that Moscow and Wash ington were both caught bv sur i prise and that the responsibility I was assumed independently by 1 the Russian commander on the I spot." I Officials said the corridor I clash, which came when Rus sian soldiers barred a U.S. military convoy from entering red-encircled West Berlin, ap parently stemmed from genu ine misunderstanding rather than a sinister Soviet plot. The United States did not give in to ' a demand by Russian military officials that the soldiers dis ' mount from their vehicles for I a head count. The United States did. how j ever, in diplomatic discussions here and in Moscow, give the Russians an explanation of the yardstick it uses in deciding when to dismount and be count ed. This calls for dismounting to facilitate checking when the convoy contains more than JO armed soldiers, exclusive of drivers and assistant drivers. U.S. officials said the Rus sians on the ground apparently believed the Americans were trying to set some new prin ciple and this was reflected. in the attitude, of Soviet ambas sador to the United States, Anatoly F. Dobrynin, when he talked with Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other officials. Sought Quick Transmission Dobrynin told the State De partment he had been unable to get in touch with the Foreign Office in Moscow because of heavy Trans - Atlantic traffic. The department intervened with the telephone company to get him a line. The ambassador, it was said, wanted to transmit as quickly as possible the stiff pro test Rusk had handed him earlier in the day. One complicating factor may have been that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was out of Moscow. Nobody here knows his exact whereabouts. He was said to be "touring the country." U.S. offiicals said the long de lay in settling the issue, which caused the convoy to be delayed more than 32 hours, apparently stemmed from the fact that misunderstanding on the scene created a local dispute which became "locked in" and got out of hand to become a question of Soviet prestige. Professional diplomats had been inclined to interpret the situation that way but they be came increasingly worried as time went on and there was no sign that Moscow would set things straight. They considered it highly un likely that the blocking of the corridor represented a move by Soviet military officials to try to "pull the rug out from under" Khrushchev's peace offensive but could not entirely discount that possibility. However, short ly before midnight, the White House received word from Mos cow which apparently eased fears that the clash might spark nuclear conflict. Word that the convoy was moving into Berlin was flashed to Washington about 8 a.m. EDT.

The blockade appeared to U.S. officials to make nn Mnu ac a deliberate Soviet plot, since it wuuiq run counter to we strong efforts Russia is making at present to keep from rocking the boat while pursuing agree ments with the United States on trade, disarmament and other issues. It was consider) avti-AmpIv unlikely that the Kremlin, nlaeued bv its bitlrr Hi with Red China and economic troubles at home, would delib erately seek to inflame the Eur ODean situation.
