05. Berlin the Soviet blockade of the Western sectors of Berlin leads to serious restrictions on the population. Electricity is supplied only for a few hours a day and at certain times of night. Many factories were forced to close due to lack of power. The power station located in the French sector, Borsig is the largest of the Western sectors. It can provide only a part of the necessary current. The power plant is located in the British sector, is still under construction and will be ready only in the autumn.
Some of the factories has converted to night work. Every minute of the power supply is used, and at the end of the work there is no closing time, but a Feiermorgen. The businesses that depend on the current, working also at night. The Berliner for example is in the middle of the night to the hairdresser to the Perm.
Many doctors and medical institutions are forced to work at night.
There are further substantial cuts in the transport sector. The operation on Metro and tram ends at 18: 00. The move order is extended to 20-30 minutes distance. Crowded railways belong therefore to the everyday.
Increased political activity marks the time of the crisis of Berlin.
So, the former British Foreign Secretary and current deputy opposition leader Anthony visited Eden Berlin.
He said the British information center to the Berlin crisis and declared that Great Britain admire the peace and stability of the Berlin population.
Mr. Eden was welcomed wherever he look left, happy except coal, food is the most important supply goods for Berlin. With the intensification of the Berlin crisis was flying the increasingly performed by the Western powers of coal the coal is racked in bags. By the Rhein-Main airport in Frankfurt, 100 twin-engined and 50 four-engined aircraft fly coal to Berlin. British machines bring significant amounts of coal in the Western sectors of day and night. Alone by the Rhein-Main airport, 800 tons of the Wiesbaden airport 400 tons of coal are flown daily to Berlin. The airlift will be expanded to Berlin day and night. New Rollfelder be applied to provide additional home and land facilities for heavy and heaviest aircraft. The air bridge, the answer to the Soviet hunger blockade, has become the largest aviation company in aviation.

01. After 585,000 Working Hours

Mangfall Bridge Finished
After 3 years of reconstruction Bavaria's highest and longest bridge across the Mangfall River was finished. In May 1945 SS-troops senselessly damaged the bridge after American troops had passed over it. Lack of material forced the working teams to construct the new bridge at a height of 68 meters without scaffolding. The bridge is 320 meters long, and 11 meters wide, and took 585,000 working hours for construction. An important link between Germany and Austria has been put back to traffic. Cardinal Faulhaber celebrated mass. With a first crossing by the cars of Governor van Wagoner and the representatives of the Bavarian State the bridge was opened.

02. Actualities in Brief:

a. Count Bernadotte
Count Folke Bernadotte, UN Mediator for the Palestine conflict, returned to his headquarters at Rhodes after he reported to the United Nations. He immediately recontacted the representatives of the State of Israel and the Arab League. By a decision of UN, economic and military sanctions will be started if the UN order to stop fighting is not obeyed. After this decision of the majority of UN, Count Bernadotte goes on with his severe task.

b. Mountbatten
Lord Mountbatten, last Viceroy of India, resigned his post as first Governor General of the British Dominion. Mountbatten left New Delhi to return with his wife and daughter to England. High ranking Indian officials and a guard of honour accompanied him to the airfield. In autumn Mountbatten will command a British cruiser fleet in the Mediterranean.

05. Berlin
The Soviet Russian blockade of the Berlin western Sectors leads to severe cuts for the population. Electricity is available only a few hours during the day and at special hours at night. Many factories had to be closed. Borsig Power Station in the French Sector can only supply part of the essential electricity. Another power station in the British Sector is being constructed and finished in autumn. Some factories work during the night.
The Berlin girls go to their hair-dresser at night. Doctors and hospitals are forced to work during the night. Severe cuts are also caused in transportation. "U-Bahn" and street-cars stop at 18 HRS. Trains go only every 20 to 30 minutes. This causes overcrowded cars. The crisis rose with increased political activity. Former British Foreign Minister and now deputy leader of the Opposition, Anthony Eden, visited Berlin. In the British Information Centre he spoke about the Berlin Crisis and stated that Great Britain admired the steadfastness of the Berlin population. Mr. Eden, whereever he was seen, was heartily welcomed. Besides food, coal has to be flown to Berlin. Coal is filled in sacks. At Rhein-Main Airfield near Frankfurt 100 two- and 50 four-motored planes fly coal to Berlin. British planes, too, transport coal to the Western Sectors. From Rhein-Main Airfield alone 800 tone and from Wiesbaden Airfield 400 tons of coal daily are transported to Berlin. New landing fields are built to get additional starting and landing facilities for the heaviest planes. The "Air Bridge", the answer to the USSR hunger blockade, became the biggest aeronautic enterprise to date.
