Richard H. Rovere in an interesting article in the September 1961 issue of the New Yorker states: Reports that the sealing off of East Berlin took the West completely by surprise were only partly true. For a good 3 years Western intelligence agencies had been in possession of an East German planfilched by a spy or delivered by a refugeefor the swift construction of exactly the concreteand barbedwire barrier that has been rushed to completion this week. Once more millions of people were imprisoned behind Communist walls while we sat on our hands and the torrent of refugees seeking freedom in the West was cut to a mere trickle. Fourth. In September 1961 the Belgrade Conference of the Neutral Countries commenced.
