BERLIN LEAD --------- In Berlin toni g ht M a rsh a ll S okolovsky, the Soviet Commander, rev a led to the Uni t ed Press the cause of all the trouble bet w een our ~ elves an d the Russians in the German capital. "Rus s ia is block a ding Berlin", said the Soviet Marshall, "because the United States made the Russians get special permits to visit the United States ~ Occupation Zone." Sokol,.ovsk~a:INstlsa~ Russia's action afl a ~reciprocal measure against the American regulation• controliing Soviet personnel. "Further", said he, "Russia would lift the blockade immediately if the Americans would open their zone to Russian traffic". This is how the Russian Gen e ral put it. "When you h a ve a guest at your table for dinner you don't expect him to walk off with the legs of your tabl~•, he said~ adding that he didn't expect such a thing either. "For three years•, coaplained Sokolov ky, "' e allowed~ Ameri ans to coae into our zone a nd then you stopped the Russians coming into your zone", So th trivial, but viewpoint. t's h story. It may see ■ exceedingly ~~ ~ there is little doubt••~•-- the Russian ,1 Opinion in Washington tonight is that the Sotolovsky interview can be taken as an indication that the Russians are adopting a more conciliatory attitude; that they are ready for a round table discussion. lo official comment yet. But everywhere signs of a general easing of tension. Earlier in the day.Jin Londo~ British Forefgn Secret a ry lievin ha announced that he was ready to \\ 'II a meeting of the Big Four Ministers. At once, he said. Further, he was ready to discuss any q uestion Russia would desire if she would first end her blockade of the capital.

To find out just how eager the Russians O're for the four-power negotiations on Berlin for which they have been asking so long? There was a note of drama in the timing of the news. Bevin had hardly finished speaking in London before the newswire carried the infor- ■ ation that Sokolovsky was giving an exclusive interYiew in Berlin to a United ~ress correspondent. · The Soviet Marshall choosing the press to expound his viewpoint instead of the usual diplomatic channels. And ad d ing perhaps wh t seems like an anti-climax to the seemingly portentious happenings of the last few days. Meanwhile in Berlin today the Russians carried on I ~ . campaign.~f nui~ee ••otic&. They arrested , two American mi 1 i ta ry poli c emen.J and an American c i vi 1/RH engineer - without explanation, as usual.
