New Red Threat To Berlin. Khrushchev's [Krushchev, Khruschev, Kruschev] demand that the Western powers get out of Free Berlin, uniting it with East Berlin under Red rule, revive memories of the 1947 Berlin blockade. As the western powers affirm their readiness to keep West Berlin free, scenes show the free section of the city as a cultural and economic oasis in dramatic contrast to the run-down, bedraggled Red half of Berlin. Traffic, pedestrians, traffic cop (?), woman pedestrian in fur coat. Comparatively wealthy West Berlin, comparatively poor East Berlin. Damaged buildings. Street sign: Unter den Linden.
