RUMPUS IN BERLIN Assembly Meeting Cancelled Counter-Demonstration By Pro-Western Berliners
Frankfurt, August 26.
General Lucius D. Clay, the United States Military Governor, commenting on the rumours that Communist Action Com mittees were taking over the Berlin City Administration, re- plied: "Certainly 'no Action Committeas, are going to take over the Government of the two and a half million people in the Western sectors for whom we are responsible." Communist-led demonstrators, armed with axes, stormed Berlin's City Hall today to protest against the "pro-Western" City rule while in Moscow the three Western envoys prepared for a new Kremlin meeting which might end Ger- mony's "cold war.'
