West Berlin Turns
All Energy on Drive
To Get Into Republic
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, July 5.-West Berlin
abandoned all hope yesterday of
restoring the city's unity and
turned to measures for winning
admission to the West German
republic.
The West Berlin Assembly
ordered a committee to begin
drafting a new constitution. Using
West Germany's as a model. The
new constitution would transform
West Berlin's administration to
that of State--a necessary pre-
liminary for incorporation of the
area in the Bonn republic.
After the expected approval Of
the document by the American,
British and French commandants,
West Berliners will hold an elec-
ton at the end of the year. West
Berlin leaders say they are con-
vinced the Western powers ulti-
mately will consent to designation
of West Berlin as West Germany's
18th state. though 100 miles of
Soviet-occupied territory separate
it from the republic.
Chairman Otto Suhr told the
West Berlin Assembly the Rus
slams had shattered efforts to hold
a free election in all sectors of
the divided city. A Communist
controlled regime rules East Ber-
lin. Soviet officials have repeat
edly demanded the withdrawal of
foreign troops as a condition for
letting Berliners merge their two
rival governments.
West Berlin is dependent on the
republics charity. It's new bud
get, now before the Assembly, calls
for expenditures of 1,575, 900 900
Westmarks ($374,850,0 ,000) but rev.
enues are so low it is estimated
there will be a deficit of 655 mil
lion West Marks ($155 800 ,000)
The city has asked the republic
to meet all this deficit.

There have been published re-

void of justice. inadequate as to
evidence and replete with false
hoods" Britain used similar terms
in protesting the conviction of an

vishinsky's Absence
Suggests Trip 10 Asia
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, July 5.-The con-
tinued absence of Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. Vishinsky from the
Moscow scene has raised specula-
tion among diplomats that he is
on mission to Asia.
The speculation centers about
these guesses:
l. That Vishinsky Is in Red
China for talks with Chou En-lai
Premier and Foreign Minister, on
the crisis in the Communist East's
relations with the West.
2. That Vishinsky is in Pyong-
yang. capital of Communist North
Korea, comforting with the Red
government on moves in the Ko-
rean war.
8. That Vishinsky is i'll. The
Soviet Foreign Minister has been
in poor health and not long ago
went to Czechoslovakia for rest
cure.
The last word on Vishinsky from
Moscow was that he was appar-
emily on vacation. His last an
nounced appearance was when he
saw United Nations Secretary
General Trygve Lie May 18.
A suspicious circumstance is
the similar absence from the news
OF Ho Chi Mimi, leader of the Wet
Mimi rebellion against the French
sponsored Wet Nam government
in Indo-China. There has been
speculation that he has been
either in Red China's capital,
Peiping, or in Moscow. It could
mean conference on future Com
moves in Asia.
Most diplomats here reject the
idea that Vishinsky may have been
fired.
