Berlin, Nov. 20.

The Brandenburg Gate, once the symbol of the main crossing point between East and West, was this morning being firmly walled into Berlin's eastern sector by a force of workmen under strong armed guard.

This dampened hopes that further crossing points between East and West Berlin may be open- ed, following the surprise building activities along the border.
