Twice in the past month, the U.S. has confidently expected to reap sweeping propaganda advantages from unmistakable evidences of Communist brutality. But there was no world outcry over the blockading of the border between East and West Berlin; and the private dismay of neutralists over the Soviet testing was hidden in guarded words at Belgrade.
