SOVIET SECTOR CUTS WATER SUPPLIES IN WEST 50000 AFFECTED.
Berlin, West Germany : Housewives of West Berlin who are without water because of the Russian sector's shutdown in the water supplies, carry out the weekly wash in the street while a boy stands by to fill buckets with a hose pipe.
About 50 000 people are affected by the water cut which Western officials had not anticipated. Russian licensed newspapers were quick to use the shortage as a propaganda weapon. They said Eastern Berlin had repeatedly offered to provide water and electric power to western Berlin, but the officials had refused to sign a trade agreement.

OXFORD IN THE AIR WAR - EVACUEES TAKE PLACE OF STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITY CITY
Oxford, once quiet and sedate seat of learning, has taken on an unfamiliar aspect since the intensification of the air war, for it is now a city of refuge for many thousands of mothers and children from the bombed areas of London. Though some of the colleges of the University have been closed and many of the undergraduates are in the Forces, there are few vacant rooms to be found in the town. The houses where students formerly lived are occupied by evacuees. The pavements of the main street are crammed as never before with pedestrians, restaurants and eating houses are packed with customers at all times of the day, and the cinemas are gratified by the eager patronage of exiled Londoners.
Despite the changed face of the town, however, the past is still represented by undergraduates from the colleges which have remained open as they stroll or cycle through the streets.
Photo show: The busy intersection at Carfax Tower, with pedestrians, cyclists and cars, seen from the corner of High Street and St Aldate's, Oxford.
