Mr.. Stair said that 1000
letters of complaint had been

about the buildup. The letter
writer's represent less than

Normally, he said, complain

rate with the reServists, he said,
is about 10 per thousand.
Complaints dealt with Short

The Reserve Gallup helped

He indicated that some Of

The report that only 40 per
cent Of tanks in the division
were operating was not true
the report said. Only l3 of the

out Of service at the time OF the

The report said that there

level, where 1t Is under urgent
and serious discussion"
Officials here said the fact
that United States and Soviet
tanks faced each other across
the East-West Berlin frontier
without shooting Is evidence
that both sides want to avoid
q conflict over Berlin and are
capable Of exercising restraint.
Nevertheless. even though the
tanks were withdrawn from
the Friedrichstrasse crossing
point Friday night. the basic
dispute over the right Of United
States civilian officials to cross
into East Berlin without show
ing Identification papers to
East German police remains
unresolved and could flare up
again.
In the Voice interview. Mr..
Rusk dealt with the Berlin
problem in terms much broader
than the immediate border
crossing controversy.
Reputation an Issue
A questioner said the argu-
ment has been made that Soviet
Premier Khrushchev cannot
permit an island Of freedom to
exist behind the Iron Curtain:
also, that Mr.. Khrushchev's
personal reputation and home
front political problems were
bound up In his demand for q
change in the status Of West
Berlin.
II don't believe" Mr.. Rusk
replied, ''that there is any basis
there for making concessions
to the Soviet Union at the ex-
pense Of the people Of West
Berlin or at the expense OF
basic Western commitments &. i.
1T may be that some Of the
Soviet leaders have problems
at home within their own po-
litical system. / am not 50
sure Of that. Or that in public
discussions Of these problems.
they have built UP problems Of
prestige for themselves which
would make adjustments Of
their points Of view difficult.
But most Of these problems
are self-made and they are not
the basis for any surrender Of
the vital interests Of the peoples
most directly concerned or Of
those Of US who have those
people under our protection"
Asked why the United States

there is no method in sight for
financing a costly rapid transit
system.
In the coming three years,
the District is slated to get
nearly $50 million In Federal
aid for road building.
Opponents to the freeway
program urge that District
matching funds be spent on i'm
proving existing streets for
traffic instead Of building mas
sive freeways. If such measures
don't work and II rapid transit
can't get started, then, they
say. turn back to the freeways
for q solution.

vately that the swelling Of

said the freedom of the West
Berliners and their ability to

''are matters Of the gravest pos
sible concern to u.s."
In addition. he said the, Ber-
lin issue arises "as q part Of
Q total worldwide issue" be-
tween the Sino-Soviet bloc and
the nations which are trying
to build "a world such as that

to use their energies and their
resources to bring their kind

With respect to the creation
OF Q buffer zone between the
forces Of the United States and
Russia In Central Europe, Mr..
Rusk said:
For the Soviet forces to
withdraw to the boundaries of
the Soviet Union and for
United States forces to with
draw across the Atlantic Is not
an evenly balanced military
arrangement.
Doubtful About Idea
But quite apart from that.
we are very doubtful about the
idea Of q buffer zone, about
disengagement, about q neu-
tralized zone, because these
long-range commitments which
the Communist world has pub
licly announced mean that neu-
tral zones or buffer zones are
for them areas Of future ex-
ploitation. exploration, pene-
tration.
$50 long as the policy Of the
Sino-Soviet bloc is to, press
its notion Of q world revolution,
then the notion Of long-term
neutralized and buffer zones
would become extremely diff
cult to accept or to bring to
reality"
A much better approach to
the problem Of achieving peace
and stability, Mr.. Rusk said. Is
to deal with the broad prob.
lens Of disarmament. Pfogress

Rapid Transit
One Of those who strongly

tects which has backed the

Mr.. Justement feels the prin-
cipal resistance TO freeways Is

those who feel the beauty OF
the city is being harmed, those
who see losses in tax revenues
and those who believe the new

Adenouer Visit Seen
As Bid for Policy Shift
BY EARL II. VOSS

West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is expected
in Washington the week end after next to argue against

into the arms OF the Soviet Union.

fore November 10, when Indian
Prime Minister Nehru leaves

According to advance reports,
the s5-year-old Chancellor In
tends to- dazzle Washington
with a new flexibility. But dip
lomats expect 1t viii be q sur
face flexibility beneath which
some lons-espoused views still
lie.
Two trends Of United States
policy are understood to dis
turb West German officials.
Identification Pressure
One is soft-pedaling reunifi-
cation Of West and East Ger
many as the goal Of Western
policy in Germany.
Another is American pressure
for West German political con-
taets with East Germany. al
distinguished from technical
contacts already long estab-
lished. --
West German officials say
the de-emphasis Of reunifica-
ton, which the Kennedy ad-
ministration repeatedly regards
as an unrealistic goal, Is likely
to have a bad psychological
effect on the II million people
Iof East Germany.
For the past 10 years they
argue, persistent Western pres
sure for reunification has given
hope to the East Germans that
the West regarded it as q realis-
tic prospect.
Explosion Seen
"If the West had given up
this claim to Identification, how
could we have told the people
Of East Germany to stay where
they were, to resist the Com
munist dictatorship without
hope Of eventual relief" one
diplomat asked yesterday.
The failure to stress reunifi-
cation. together with the con-
struction Of the high wall in
East Berlin to seal off the East
Germans remaining escape
route, could lead to an explo-
sion inside the Communist zone
they say.
Neither France nor Britain
Is eager for the reunification OF
Germany, at whose hands they
both have suffered so much
But until the advent Of the
Kennedy administration, the
United States had carried Brit
ain and France along in poll
cies that at least paid lip serv-
ice to the goal of reunification
American officials, while
acknowledging a significant
shift away from United States
emphasis on identification, say
that even West German Off
cials, including Mr.. Adenauer
admit privately that reunifica-
ton is not a realistic prospect
for the immediate future.
Bonn Shuns Deal
AS an alternative to what
they regard as wasting time
and motion on an unrealistiC
reunification policy. American
officials are reported pressing
the West Germans to concen-
trate on similar steps that
might lead to the same goal;
