BERLIN

NOuttnueu EIOm FIESt rage
Ioverestimate the psychological
impact of Mr.. Khruschev's
physical presence here. Just
about any afternoon the West
Berliner can flick on his tele-
vision set and see the most
powerful political leader In the
world haranguing an excited
and cheering crowd Of Ger
mans a few miles away. On
these occasions, the squat
shiny doomed figure is the lead
er personified. his energy in
exhaustable. his self-confi-
dence apparently without limit.
/ Visit Is Stretched
! Mr.. Khrushchev himself is
perfectly aware Of the effect he
is producing. 1t is probably the
chief reason why his visit,
which was originally supposed
TO last two days. has now been
stretched to four and may 20
on until Thursday. The warmth
of his reception in East Berlin
has apparently impressed him
AS 1t has impressed other OBJ
while the WILLINGNESS
Of Western leaders to respond
TO his summons seems to have
convinced him that for the
moment, at least. all other bus
mess can wait.
The psychological impact Of
his presence in Berlin has an
Importance greater than any Of

said since his arrival in Ger
many For the most part. these
have consisted Of tireless rep
etition of RuSsia's well-known
positions end proposals, distin-
guishable from each other only
by differences in tone and en-
phasiS. Even his most recent
proposal to permit small four
power, garrison to remain in
Berlin after it becomes a free
city" is not considered worthy
of serious consideration in al
lied diplomatic circles here.
Contradiction Evident
In fact, the most interesting
thing about the proposal is that
1t seems to contradict many Of
the arguments that Mr.. Khru-
shchev has been making In the
past. 1t is hard to see how Ber-
lin would be more free" than
1t is already by the addition of
a Russian garrison to the three
Western garrisons already here.
It is also hard to see how Pre-
mier Khrushchev can make
such an offer without refer
ence TO the need for agreement
of the sovereign state" Of East
Germany through which sup
plies for this proposed garrison
would have to pass.
At this point. however, MIR,
Khrushchev seems almost COM
pletely unconcerned about ques-
ton Of details. He has launched
himself enthusiastically into

Berlin Guarantee by Four Powers
Urged by Senator to Counter Reds
BY the Associated Press

Free world leaders were urged
by Senator Mansfield, Demo-
crat Of Montana, today to
counter the latest Soviet pro-
posal with an offer for a four
power guarantee Of freedom for
all of Berlin.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
limited his suggestion yester-
day to West Berlin. He said
"a minimum number Of troops"
drawn either, from the four
major powers or from neutral
nations, might be stationed
there.
Senator Mansfield. the as
sistant Democratic leader, said
in an interview he shares the
skepticism of other United
States leaders concerning the
various KhruShchev proposals.
But he said the West could
take advantage Of M. Khru-
shchev's suggestion for a guar
antee OF West Berlin's inde-
pendenoe with neutral or Big
Four troops.
THAT wouldn't be enough"
Senator Mansfield said. But
If Khrushchev wants TO cover
all Of Berlin under United Ma
tons guarantees on access and
control Of East and West Ber-
lin, then ] think that would
be worthy of consideration"

Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen interpreted the latest
Khrushchev statement as an
indication that the Soviet lead
er may be seeking to maneuver
his way out of his November
81 ultimatum for the with
drawal of allied troops from
West Berlin by May q.

Senator Dirksen said. THAT

morrow We don't know. He

While Senator Dirksen and
other leaders who have sat in on
White House briefings obvi-'
ously believe the controversy
over Berlin will not come TO a
forceful showdown, they recog-
nized the possibility that access
to West Berlin could be cut of
without military action.
This could be accomplished
by the wrecking or simple re-
moyal of rail and highway
bridge spans by the East Ger
mans if the Russians turn over
control of the area to them.

-Four garrison including Rus
sian soldiers got a cool recep-
ton in Washington and the
other allied capitals. Mr.. Khru-
shchev's proposal was regarded
as a maneuver to get a foot
inside West Berlin.
The Soviet Premier made his
suggestion at a Communist
meeting in East Berlin last
night. 1t came a few hours
after Mr.. Macmillan arrived
here on the first stop Of his
swing around Paris. Bonn and
Washington to give Western
leaders p report on his talks
in Moscow.
Informed sources said that
Mr.. Khrushchev had given Mr.
Macmillan a tipoff on his lat

lin into q free city" but the
British Premier did not men,
ton lit in his report to the
House of Commons last week
j Mr.. Macmillan held explora-
tory talks yesterday with French
Premier Michel Debre. There
were indications of some dis
agreements that need thrash
ing out.
Withdrawal Feared
The British Premier is anx-
ious to make clear to his allies
his ideas for thinning out mill
tary forces in Central Europe
ideas that aroused some
concern in Bonn and Paris
that a pullback of all forces
would result.
/ One of Mr.. Macmillan's
aides emphasized to newSmen
here 1.-The British are definitely
not in favor of disbursement
as that term is used in some
quarters to mean a complete
withdrawal Of forces" Mr..
Macmillan and Mr.. Khru

summing up their talks had
spoken Of negotiations for a
reduction OF conventional and
nuclear arms in Central Eu-
rope, an idea first advanced
by then Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden in 1865.

worst. West German Foreign
Minister Heinrich Won Bren-

eminent rejects any proposal
for a military disengagement
that does not provide for a
solution to the central politl-
cal problem Of German unfit

should appropriate the full

If they paid. full fare.
The present full fare is 20
cents and the school fare is IL
cents. the maximum allowed by
law. A 25-cent full fare would
make possible a top school fare
of 1872 cents. at the P. U. C.'s
discretion. under existing law
Mr.. Mclaughlin supported
the second bill. but asked that
it be revised so that the city
would pay only the transit
company's cost of carrying
school children above what the
children pay, rather than the
difference between adult and
children's fare payments. He
also asked that a .30-day dead
line for the Districts subsidy
payment each year be elimi-
mated.
Would Shift Burden
The P. U. c. now is allowed
to set any school fare up to
half the adult fare. The pur-
pose Of the pending proposals
is to remove the burden of the
reduced school fares from the
transit company's adult riders
and put it on the taxpayers.
Mr.. Kertz strongly supported
shifting the burden. He also
strongly urged the need OF
keeping the transit company
healthy in order 10 avert the
possibility Of public transit
ownership.
But he objected to both tht
proposed subsidy bills. The city
has estimated that either Of
the bills would cost the city
more than 100000 annually
But half Of this, Mr.. Kert;
pointed out, would actually &c

He suggested working out
some other method so the Dis.

$250,000 a year to the Fedora
Government.
Mr.. Kertz also urged keeping
the adult fare substantially
where it is. Raising it would
risk losing riders, he asserted
He said he would much prefer
a subsidy to any large fare rise
But he said he spoke only fol-
himself. not for the commits

Is Postponed

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 (AP).-
Trial of Representative Adam
Clayton Powell, Democrat of
New York, on income tax eva
sion charges was postponed to-
day to permit him to undergo
surgery for a possible malig-
nant tumor.
The trial, scheduled for Oc-
tober 10, was put off until No.

District Judge Richard H. Levet
at the request of the Negro
Congressman's attorney, Ed
ward Bennett Williams OF
Washington.
Mr.. Williams submitted
letter from Capt. r. B. Brown,
chief surgeon at the Naval
Medical Center at Bethesda,
Md, concerning the Congress
mans condition.
Capt. Brown said recent
studies at the center indicated
that Mr.. Powell has a small
tumor mass which causes some
pressure on his esophagus and
that the center recommended
an operation.
Chief Assistant United States
Attorney Morton S. Robson said
the government had no objec-
ton to the postponement, but
asked for a special provision in
the event Mr.. Powell did not
undergo an operation.
IF this surgery is not under

Mr.. Finley pointed out that
local communities might have
to contribute additional money
for these median strips beyond
what the State puts up to secure
the right of way for the super
highways. Now the Federal
Government contributes 80 per
cent and the State 10 per cent
of the cost of the right Of way.

1 1t was a pitch black night.
The skies were crying mud
balls. Torrents of liquid pour
ed on the parched desert lands.
Brilliant bolts of lightning
played crazy zig-zag puzzles
| in the heavens. The thunder
rumbled round, resounding
over the mountains anGalleys.
Outdoor colorings ran the pris-
matte scheme in a few minutes.
From brilliant azure to fore
boding brown, back to a dark
blue and suddenly pitch black
ness enveloped the sky.
Wild gusts shrieked through
the leaves while trees bent
in mournful bows. Loose der
elict bark was lifted and dash
| ed about. Visibility was
lowered to nil and everyone
| strained trying to see through
| the dust clouds.
Brick and mortar couldn't
withstand the power of the ele-
ments. Wood nor steel could
hold it's own against the ter
rifle drives blowing upwards to
seventy miles per hour. Pow
er lines fell. Trees were
uprooted. Roofs were lifted.
Lives were lost. The rains had
| come to the Valley of the Sun.
Driving homeward from
Scottsdale is usually a pleas
ant ride. Driving through the
storm Sunday night was an or
| deal. That familiar road be-
came a hazard GUS black lane.
| Downed power lines, broken
tree limbs, wrecked automo-
biles changed the highway into
| a maze of death and destruc-
ton. Normally it would have
taken twenty minutes, but the
trip consumed some nerve
wracking forty five minutes.
Traffic slowed to a snail's
pace while rain capped patrol
men placed flares and direct
ed motorists around floods
and debris. Staccato crackles
accompanied the eye blinking
aluminium CLEANS as summer
| lightning knitted through the
| air. Sharp claps of thunder
reverberated behind the men
acing low rainclouds. Black
tires slithered along the water
slick asphault. Cautiousl,
drivers peered over their dash
boards while apprehensive
breathing moistened the wind
shield.
Our driveway was a. well
come sight after the tense trip
in the thunderstorm. I didn't
relax until the ignition was
turned off and I stepped over
our weatherbe 1en threshold.
