West Berlin Votes For Freedom In the face of Khrushchev's ultimatum, West Berlin's regularly scheduled municipal elections become a plebiscite in which the free city, 110 miles behind the iron curtain, routs local Reds in a resounding declaration of staunch defiance. Man puts up poster for Brandt, other posters. Man (Adenauer?) speaks at podium to clapping crowds. Willy Brandt (?) speaks at podium. Seated men listen, applaud. Third man speaks at a podium; applause. More posters.
