NO CONFIRMATION
Berlin, April 30. The lifting of the 10-month Berlin blockade within the next 72 hours was foreshadow- ed here today by Colonel Sergei Tul- panov, head of the Soviet Information Division, according to German sources close to the Soviet Military Administra- tion.
The report was not corroborated by a British Mili- tory Government spokesman, who told Reuter: "We have heard nothing official yet about a possible lifting of the blockade."
Colonel Tulpanov was stated to have told a confor-
ence of the chief editors of the Soviet-licensed newspapers this evening that the cardinal pro- blems connected with communication restric-
tions between Berlin and Western Gormany had now been resolved among the four Great Powers.

Belgrade, May 1.
Yugoslavia's ruling Communist Party accused Wos- tarn "reactionary imperialist forcos" yesterday of "threatening a now war, against the Soviet Union and the countries of the People's Domo- cracies."
The charge was levelled in a special May Day pro- clamation issued by the Communist Party's Committee just 24 hours before a mass demon- stration at which Marshal Tito will review a parade of soldiers and workers.
The proclamation also do- clared, "attempts are being made in the Soviet Union and the countries of the people'a democracies to organise an economic and politient boycott against Yugoslavia while means and measures typical of the capitalistic workd arc being used to break the working en- thusiasm of our masses and to forees our peoples into sub- |mitting to unjust and unegun!
