BERLIN Oct. 26 CAP). -
United States troops today
moved across the border into
East Berlin for the second
straight day to reaSsert the
right Of Americans to move un-
impeded through Berlin.
The East German police then
closed the Friedrichstrasse
crossing. but reopened it when
calm was restored. United
States tanks provided a back
drop for the convoy across the
dividing line but were with
drawn later.
The situation flared up and
died down within three quar-
ters of an hour.
The Friedrichstrasse crossing,
known as "Checkpoint Charlie"

The days main incident at
the checkpoint began when an
American, driving a blue sedan
with United States Army license
plates, drove up unescorted
seeking admittance to East
Berlin. The East German police
refused to admit him unless he
identified himself, and he de-
clined to do that.
1t was plain the unidentified
American had been sent up to
the border as a further test of
the rights American authori-
ties claim for movement about
the city.

After conveying the sedan
into East Berlin the American
MPs withdrew, and the sedan
cruised around alone in the
Communist controlled sector.

the car when it tried to leave
and re-enter the West sector.

President Kennedy called on
the cabinet and heads of Fed
eral agencies today to hold
down on the number of Gov
ernment employees and cut back
spending on many domestic pro-
gram.
The President said necessary
increases in defense spending
make it essential to follow "a
most careful and frugal policy"
He reviewed his budget policy
in a lengthy statement read
this morning at a cabinet meet
ing which also was attended by
a number of the heads of agen-
cieS outside the cabinet.
He did not call specifically
for firing any Government en-
ployes now working. But White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger said some might be let
out in cases where it was found
that work could be performed
as efficiently with fewer en-
ployes.
Limited Number Favored
Mr.. Kennedy said he wants
the number of Government en-
ployes limited to the minimum
consistent with getting the job
done"
Mr.. Salinger said the PreSi-
dents statement meant eacn
department and agency head
is being put on notice that the
President believes the Govern
ment can do the job it has to
do with fewer people than
could be hired with the funds
appropriated by Congress.
The President also called on
his cabinet and agency heads
TO hold back on spending any
appropriated funds for any
thing that "is not absolutely
necessary to the national in
terest at this time"
He said he knew such ac-
tions represent a cutback or
postponement in many func-
tions to which each of you
attaches great Importance"
Balanced Budget Ain
For the next fiscal year
starting next July /. Mr.. Ken
nedy emphasized that he in
tends to propose a balanced
budget unless there are ex-
traordinary and unforeseen de-
fense requirements.
He based his hopes for a
balanced 1868 budget on pros
pectlve gains in the Nations
economy. counted on to provide
a substantial increase in rev.
enues under existing tax laws.
But he stressed that National
security expenses will keep ris-
ing. making it necessary ito
defer or limit increases in many
programs which in more nor
NAL times would be thoroughly
desirable"
The President reviewed in
creases of more than SIS bill
lion his administration has
made over former President
Eisenhower's budget estimates
and said:
1T is clear that the increases
in the budget this year are
yielding important returns
that our military security has
increased sharply-that the
vigor Of the recovery from the
recent recession has beer
strengthened-that wages. farm
income, corporate profits and
the gross pational product have
all risen sharply-and that in
areas of health, national re-
sources, science and other ac-
tivities strong gains have been
made"
Current Outlook Assessed
Now that the Congress has
adjourned" he said, 1.-THE
budget has been reviewed in the
light Of congressional actions
