BERLIN, Aug II. (UP)—U S
Air Secretary W Stuart Symington
said today that the western air
fleets can keep on supplying Berlin
as long as they are required to,
even through the winter weather ”
Symington, who came to Ger-
many to inspect the aerial ferry
to Berlin, spoke of the possibi-
lity of operating It in winter
weather as of Ihe city might still
be blockaded by the Soviets al
that lime.
1 He said bad weather would slow
the operation, but the winter
"Would not keep us from doing the
job.” The air forces can keep it
, up as much as desired, even though
winter weather," he said
Symington and hls chief of staff,
Oen. Hoyt S Vandenberg, came to
a Berlin depressed by a wave of
pessimism over the prospects for
an end of the crisis. The first flush
of hope over east-west talks in
Moscow had faded, the situation
deteriorated even further last week
end and the cold war was in full
swing
New charges of vlogaiiug air
aafrly rules were flying trick and
fast and the Soviet propagan-
dists boasted (hat rnough Rus-
sion loud to supply ail of Brrhn
for 40 days was on hand here.
American airmen flying the cor-
ridors to the west reported Soviet
planes darting about the area en-
gaged in some sort of maneuvers.
They "believed,’ but were unable
to say for sure, that Soviet ground
batteries were firing at a sleeve
target towad by a Russian fighter.
Hailing Ihe Berlin aerial opera-
tion as a “wonderful job,” Sym-
ington arrived with Vandrnberg
