1. On 31 May rumors were current, in Berlin that persons traveling to West Berlin
from either the eastern zone or East Berlin, including residents of the East
who work in West Berlin, will. in the future have the time of their departure
from the East stamped. on their railroad. or S Rahn tickets when the tickets
are purchased.. Upon their return. to a station in East Berlin or East Germany,
the :ti.me of arrival and the name of thf~ traveler with the number of his
identification document wi1.1 be stamped at the time when the ticket is
surrendered. to the railroad authorities.
It is reported that after 1 June special passes will be required for inhabi-
tan.tq of East Berlin entering or leaving East Germany. Soviet personnel
will need special orders, but it is not latown whether these will be the
usual official order (komaa;dirovochnoe predpisanie) or some new form of
documentation.
On 1 June large :number of :soviet personnel were seen in East Berlin, some
of them strolling about and some moving trough the city in trucks.
Shopkeepers re-port that in the last few days= Berliners 50X1-HUM
have shown a tendency -to stock up on chocolate, cocoa, soluble coffee, 50X1-HUM
flour., and rice. This buyi rig is regarded as evidence of a mild war scare
and not attributable to the Whitsuntide trade.
