Secretary of State Rusk says

While making this declara-
lion last night on a television
interview, Mr.. Rusk emphasized
the West is trying to find a
peaceful solution to the Berlin
crisis.
I'VE do expect" he said,
that negotiations will take
place on this matter. Just when
and where will be determined

He added that he did not
yet know how, when or where
such negotiations would be

the American troops which
we're sent to West Berlin as re-
Inducements for freedom by
direction of President Kennedy
was most heart-warming. Our
troops know that they carry
the honor of America with
them as they begin their i'm

1t is impossible to give an

heroic conduct in this emer-

Rusk ReneWs
PIea.for Aid
On Long Term
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Rusk said
today that United States au-
thority to provide long-term de-
velopment assistance is impera-
tive for nations struggling to
remain free under "the relent-
less pressure of Communist
imperialism"
I'VE must help them to carry
out their revolution in freedom
and to resist the attempts of
the Communists to subvert this
revolution to their own ends,
Mr.. Rusk told theS Senate Ap-
preparations Committee.
He carried the administra-
tion's case for a multi-billion
dollar foreign aid money bill
before the Appropriations Com
mittee even though a Senate
House compromise on conflict
ing foreign aid authorization
measure is yet to be worked out.
The bill passed by the Senate
retains President Kennedy's key
provision for a five-year, So bill
lion loan program financed by
borrowing from the Treasury
The House voted to limit the
program to one year, subject
to congressional appropriations.
Testifying against this back
ground, Mr.. Rusk told the COM
mittee that whether the ulti-
mate financing comes from
borrowing or appropriations,
1.-The authority to make long
term commitments is impera-
tive"
Mr.. Rusk also appealed for
$1.8 billion in military assist
ance funds, the amount author
lied by the House. This COM
pares with $1,550,000,000 ap-
proved by the Senate.
The free world is faced with
a Communist world of greater
and growing strength Mr..
Rusk said, adding:
IF you could have heard Mr.
Khrushchev, as I did, talk in
| Vienna about the world he
hopes to achieve, you could not
fail to understand, as I do, the
objectives of Communist STRAIT
egy and the seriousness of the
struggle in which we and other
free peoples are engaged"
Mr.. RuSk testified at closed
session, but copies of his pre-
pared statement were made
available to reporters.

President Kennedy seem to
have been turned down at least
for the time being.
Apart from this, however,
morale in West Berlin de-
pends on other factors over
which neither Mr.. johnson
nor anyone else in the West
at this point can exercise any
real control.
The significance of the clos
ing of the sector borders has
just begun to dawn on the
people of Berlin. When it fin
ally sinks in, morale in the city
will need more than a shot in
the arm to bring it back to
normal.
The real significance is quite
simply that the closing Of the
sector borders means the COM
plete and perhaps permanent
division of East and West Ger
many. For most of Germany, of
course, this division has existed
for years. But for all of these
years, Berlin has remained as
the one point of contact-not
only symbolic of hopes for ul-
innate reunification, but also a
highly practical port of entry
and communication for citizens
of the divided country.
AS long as the sector borders
remained open, Berlin remained
a city of immense Importance,
from a political and psyche
logical point of view, to all
Germans. With the borders
sealed, a very great part Of this
Importance is sure to evaporate.
And with it, very probably.
much of the feeling of mission
and sense of morale that have
characterized the people of this
city since the end of the war.
No possible guarantees of
security either from the West
or from the East can replace
the loss of this essential rea-
son for West Berlin's con-
tinued existence.
Without contact with the
surrounding country, Berlin
will be little more than a sterile
outpost, painfully subsidized by
the rest of the German Federal
Republic, proving little beyond
the dogged determination of
free people to hold their
! ground. Under these circum-
stances loss of population, loss
of capital and loss of morale
seem inevitable.
| This withering process may
be precisely what the Com
munists are banking on to-
day. With the borders ef-
fectively closed Soviet Premier
Khrushchev and his friends
have no real reason to worry
about West Berlin.
For their part Western lead
erS admit freely that the ac-
tions taken to seal the bor-
ders cannot be practically pre-
vented. This is the real cause
for the. anguish of the people
of Berlin today, which will
outlast anv temporary uplift
which visiting American Off
,cials are able to provide.

TOKYO, Aug. 81 (A.-So-
Wet Deputy Premier Anastas
Mikoyan declared today the
Soviet Union will sign a Sepa-
rate peace with East Germany
at the end of this year and
told the Western powers that
then you'll have to ask them
(the East Germans) for a pass
if you want to enter Berlin"
Without it, you won't get
through" the deputy Premier
declared bluntly in an arm
waving speech before a leftist
rally attened by 10000 singing
llow-travelers.
1t was the<kind of political
attack that earlier brought a
rebuke from Japan's governing
Liberal Democratic Party,
which accused him of interfer-
ing in Japan's domestic af-
fairs. Japan is allied with the
United States.
Leaves Tomorrow
Mr.. Mikoyan is here sup
posedly on a friendly non-po-
litical nine day visit. He came
to open Soviet trade fair but
has been expounding Soviet
views on international political
affairs at nearly every op-
portunity. He leaves for home
tomorrow.
Mr.. Mikoyan charged the
United States artificially
created "the so-called Berlin
crisis" and accuses us of
ulterior motives"
'Revenge-seeking West Ger
mans, on their part, want a
big army equipped with Amer
ican atomic bombs" he said.
IF you let them get away with
it, they will use these bombs
against U.S."
Citing Soviet space achieve
ments, Mr.. Mikoyan said mo
one now doubts our military
might is equal to if not greater
than that of the capitalist
powers"
But we are not waving our
weapons in anyone's face" he
said. Mr.. Mikoyan derided

can or neutralist nations waited

if it would abstain as it did on
similar proposals before the
Security Council July 20.
Informed sources said there
was a possibility the United
States would vote for the resolu-
ton, but many diplomats be-
lieved it would wind up abstain
ing. One African delegate said
unless the United States sup
ported Tunisia, it could expect
little support from the anti
colonialist countries should 1t

There was some belief the

1900 Troops Move In
West Berlin Mayor Willy
Brandt, who had demanded
political action" by the Allies
rather than paper protests,
said Mr.. Johnson's visit was
"the greatest help we could get
at this moment"
Before the Vice President left,
a fresh battle group of 1,500
American troops rolled in to
strengthen his repeated pledge
that the United States will
stand firm with West Berlin
and the Communist-encircled
city can never be bullied into
the surrender of its freedom. "
The new arrivals brought the
United States, British and
French garrisons in West Ber-
lin to a total of 10000 troops.
The Moscow press called Mr..
Johnson's visit provocative"
and decried the dispatch of the
American troops reinforcements
as military hysteria." But the
Soviets gave polite clearance to
the American Army convoy that
crossed 110 miles of Communist
territory to get here from West
Germany.
Negotiations Expected
Over the week end in what
Mr.. johnson called "one of
Americas finest hours" the
fears of war subsidized noticeably
and the prospects of negotia-
tions with the Russians grew
both in Berlin and Washington.
Mayor Brandt, who said his
discussions with Mr.. Johnson
went "far beyond the Berlin is
sue" said there will be no war
and predicted East West talks
late in the fall.
A West German government
press officer in Bonn yesterday
circulated a report that the
East German Communists may
close the Helmstedt- Berlin
highway, the sole route for
Allied military road traffic. But
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
chief spokesman in Berlin
quickly toned down the report
by calling it merely a rumor. "

munist claim that the Helm
