.Throngs Of Germans
Defy Red Arrest 10
Get Food Parcels
Distribution to Hungry
From East Zone Passes
One Million Mark
BY the Assoeiated Press

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-Defying
Communist arrests and confiSca-
tionS, new masses of hungry
East Germans swarmed into
West Berlin today to snatch up
free Western food parcels. Dis
tribution of the American
financed gifts passed the / mil
lion mark.
The Communist press sput-
tered with Illustration and ad-
mitted the Red government was
afraid to take the drastic ster
of closing the border to stop the
rush.
In the crowds. as the gigantic
give-away rolled through its
sixth day, were the vanguard of
a weekend invasion of thou
sands of Russian zone factory
workers, using their day off to
come and get it." They in
cluded employees of the huge
Leuna synthetic gasoline refinery
and other large State-owned in
dustries.
Many of these workers had de-
fled Communist police and Rus
sian tanks in the great strikes
and demonstrations of June IT.
Now they again showed their de-
f1ance of Communist orders by
accepting the Western bounty.
Lines Three Blocks Long.
By midmorning the crowds
around the big Schoenberg city
hall relief station were three city
blocks long, with the standees
four and six abreast. This sta
ton. which has been operating
day and night, had to divert
some of its clientele to hastily
opened subsidiary pantry" in a
nearby school.
West Berlin authorities an
nounced there would be enough
food for all who applied. This
could mean that parcels would
be made available for all the
more than 18 million inhabitants
of the Russian zone.
The priced fats. milk and flour
were seized from hundreds of
East Germans yesterday and last
night by Communist police.
Transportation Snarled.
This week end, the food sta
tions served only residents of
the Russian zone, many of whom
rode miles on overcrowded trains
and buses. So big was the flood
to Berlin that in many places the
public transport systems became
snarled.
In the horde were scores of
crippled and war amputees,
many leaning on canes or on the
arms of friends. Hundreds stood
through a heavy early morning
rain to get their gifts.
Com munist propagandiStS
hammered away at the relief
campaign with threats of re-
prisal against the takers.

Senate Majority Leader Know
land today ruled out adjourn
ment of Congress before Monday,
at least, as the Senate Finance
Committee struggled with the
debt-ceiling issue, the key to
how much longer Congress will
be here.
The committee went into
closed session at 10 am. with
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
and Budget Director Dodge and
was still meeting at 1890
o'clock.
House leaders pushed the Pres
ident's request for an increase
in the debt ceiling from $275
billion to $500 billion through
that branch yesterday with light
ming speed, but the bill faced an
uncertain fate in the. Senate
committee.
When the Senate met today,
Senator Knowland said there was
no chance of adjourning the Sem
ate today and added that the
Senate will have a session Mon
day next"
Talk of Compromise.
In advance of the Senate
Finance groups meeting, there
was some talk of a compromise
on TIE politically touchy issue.
One committee member showed
up with a compromise proposal
of a temporary So billion increase
in the debt ceiling, to run only
until June 80, 1854. But Chair
man Millikin said he knew of
no behind-the-SceneS agreement
on any compromise.
The Finance Committee is
torn between staying here for
extended hearings, or taking up
the question later in the year.
If Mr.. Humphrey and Mr.. Dodge
convince the Senators they
should reach a final decision
now. it may take another week
or longer.
The final test in the House
came on a motion to recommit
by Representative Mills, Demo
crat. of Arkansas, which failed.
225 to 173. No Republican voted
to recommit, but 20 Democrats
and one Independent joined 2G4
Republicans in opposing the mo-
ton. Among the 20 Democrats
supporting the President were
Minority Leader Rayburn, Mi
nority Whip Mccormack and
Representative Cooper of Ten
nessee, the ranking minority
member of Ways and Means.
The Mills motion was not in
tended to defeat the measure,
but merely to provide that the
new $500 billion debt ceiling
apply only until December 81.

A HouSe-approved compromise
for admission of 214,00O refugees
and other aliens in an emergency
immigration program urged by
President Eisenhower was prom
iSed prompt action in the Senate
today.
The 214,000 total was agreed
on late yesterday by Senate
House conferees. The House last
night took only three minutes to
accept it by a 190-to-44 vote.
The House version passed
earlier this week authorized ad-
mission of 217,000 refugees from
European countries controlled by
Communists, as well as smaller
numbers of refugees or nationals
from China, Japan, the Near
East, and Italy and Portugal.
The Senate measure provided for
admission of 100000. 1t was de-
Scribed as "all-refugee" and ap-
plying entirely to Europeans ex-
cept for 1000 Chinese refugees
living now at Hong Kong.
Short of Recommendation.
Both totals, as we'll as the
214,000 compromise worked out
yesterday by Senate House con-
ferees. fell short OF the 240, 900
figure suggested by President
Eisenhower last April. White
House approval of the compro-
mise, however, is understood to
be assured.

none is regarded as a great

terday, claimed the plane was
destroyed and 81 lives were lost
when four United States fighters
attacked it over Chinese territory
north of the Korean boundary

before the cease-fire became
effective.

day that the attack by a United

This, 1t said, was in the Ko-
rean combat zone.
Delivered in Moscow.
The United States reply was
contained in a note sent by
messenger from the United
States Embassy to the Soviet
Foreign Office in Moscow. The
State Department released the
text of that note plus an unof-
flcial translation of the Soviet
note.
There was no denial on the
part of the United States that
the big Russian IL-l2 transport
had been destroyed by fighter
fire. In fact. the incident was
fully disclosed by the U. N. at
the time The issue raised by
the Russians was over where the
attack occurred.
They delayed filing their COM
plant for four days. This led
State Department officials to
speculate that perhaps the Rus
slams were seeking to divert at
tention from another plane
shooting incident of last Wednes-
day.
Charges on B-5O Loss.
In this case the United States
charged that an Air Force B-5O
was shot down off the Siberian
coast and that the Soviets picked
up survivors from the sea.
A note to Moscow yesterday
protested the incident and asked
information on the supposed sur
vivorS. The Russians claimed, in
that case, that the bomber vio-
lated Soviet territory.
In the note on the n-12 the
United States told Russia this
Nation "can only deplore the loss
of life incurred in this incident"
