MAY DAY AROUND THE WORLD:
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1950.
East Berlin Police Stoned By Western Sector Rowdies
London, May 1-Marshal Stalin, reviewing the world's greatest military parade, was today's traditional highlight in international celebra- tions of May Day - but the eyes of the West were on Berlin, flash-point in the cold war.
A million marching Muscovites followed the monster parade of Russia's armed might. In West Berlin a few thousand British, American and French troops stood ready to deal with a possible invasion of their sectors by East Germans, massed in hundreds of thousands just across the border.
