BERLIN RAILWAYMEN'S PLAN TO LIFT CITY'S "LITTLE BLOCKADE"

NO END TO COLD WAR IN SIGHT

Washington, June 22.

The Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, today urged Congress to back up some worthwhile progress made at the Parls Big Four meeting by ratifying the North Atlantic Pact and passing the arms to Europe programme

at this session.

Berlin, Juno 23.

West Berlin's 14,000 anti-Communist railway strikers agreed today to lift the "little block- ado" of Western Borlin.

But they refused to end their five-week old strike. Union leaders admitted that the Russian-con- trolled railway management may not accept the strikers' "emergency service" plan. This plan would rostere supply lines between West

Borlin and the rest of Germany.

A union spokesman said the fresh potatoes from the West for Western Rector overhead trains, the first time for 11 months when which normally carry nearly the Soviet authorities lifted the
