Max Maron, the East Ger- man Comriunist interior minis- ter, sent sharply worded pro- tests to West Berlin Mayor Willy Brahdt and the French commandant, Gen. Jean La- comme, over the shooting of an East German policeman by West Berlin police. Thursday East German police fired warning shots at a West Berlin policeman and at a work- man laying a cable who stepped across the forbidden line into the eastern sector. East Berlin police also engaged in a rock fight with jeering West Berlin- ers. Communist police Thursday night shot dead two East Ger- mans trying to swim the Spree River near Oberbaumbruecke Bridge, which forms the border between the U.S. and Soviet sec. tors, West Berlin police said. One refugee was killed only a yard from safety. Police said a total of 14 East Berliners and East Germans in- cluding one policeman, fled to the West during the night. Mayor Willy 'Brandt of West Berlin asked the Western pow- ers for authority to increase his 15,000-man police force as ten- sion increased along the barri- cades dividing the city. The latest flareups began when a Communist policeman was wounded Wednesday night. West Berlin police said they opened fire fired by East German police at fleeing refugees whizzed by them.

If the agreement is affirmed, still to be worked out are the two basic questions of how the interim ofifcial is to be elected and what his powers will be.
