Berlin Crisis Argument Back
To Where It Started SECURITY COUNCIL MEET CALLED FOR TODAY
Paris, October 14.
Russia rejected last night "neutral" efforts to mediate the Berlin Blockade crisis. The Security Council will meet to take up the 'issue again on Friday at 3:00 P.M.
These sudden developments in the week-long, stalemate in the UN over Ber- lin were disclosed shortly after Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet delegate, handed Security the Kremlin's negative answer to Dr. Juan Bramuglia of Argentina, Council President on the Berlin question.
Dr. Bramuglia appeared pessimistic about the situation after a meeting of the six countries which have tried to find a settlement.
