Hiqh-LeveI Conference
On Berlin Uncertain

Rusk-Gromyko talks over the
past two weeks.
other diplomatic sources
here, however, reported the ap-
pearance of spurious signals
from navigational beacons
guiding Western aircraft in the
corridors between West Ger
many and West Berlin. There
was some fear that the Com

lure Western aircraft out of
the corridors into the Eastern
zone of Germany.

Press Secretary Pierre Salin-
ger refused yesterday to name
any of the subjects Mr.. Ken

Gromyko. Mr.. Salinger would
not even confirm that Berlin
would be among the topics, but
other officials said they ex-
pected it to be the main subject.
1t was considered possible,
however, that they also would
talk about the problem of find
ing a successor to the late
United Nations secretary gen.
eral, Dag Hammarskjold, and
the unsettled situation in
Southeast Asia.

give Mr.. Gromyko a personal
message for Premier Khru-
shchev, officials said. Mr..
Kennedy may also spend a
short time alone with Mr..
Gromyko, officials reported.

BUDGET

through the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1868. But. officials
said, the city has been forced
to accelerate the borrowing rate
because of the repeated failure
by Congress to vote the city
the full authorized Federal pay
ment.
No New Borrowing
A request by the Commits
sioners for authority to borrow
another SIS million during a
10-year period got nowhere
during the last session of Con-
greSs.
The S34 million second
budget" covers $26.5 million in
construction money with the
SIS million balance for OPP
Grating expense items. In addi-
ton to money earmarked for
new and improved services and
to ease personnel workloads,
the operating expense category
also includes funds for the in
creased INDECENT care cost at
hospitals.
Budget Officer David P. Her.
man said this is the first time
his office has had to put oper-
ating expense items in such a
second-budget category.
Today'S report to the Com
missioners said it now "ap-
pears" that the city will be re-
CURED to send balanced bud

However. it will preclude re-
quests for the remainder OF

services. The inability to in
clude funds for workload in
creases will mean that services
in some departments will be
adversely affected. Further-
more, only an extremely lin
tied capital outlay program can
be submitted"
This $261.5 million budget
includes $232.7 million for OPP
Grating expenses and $28.8 mil
lion for construction items. The
general fund category break
down is $213.6 million operating
and $50 million capital outlay.
City officials noted that the
city is feeling the impact from
such carryover items as the
postponement this year of 81
million worth Of public works
items. This postponement was
needed to balance the current
budget, which ended up in the
red when Congress failed to
pass revenue bill.

making the county rate $3.50.
Eighty cents of the increase was
designated for a school construc-
ton program. But. under the
cOtnty's month to month system
Of appropriations. the petitioners
fear those funds will not be set
aside for school construction.
To date. that increase has
raised about $5l 900 for the
county. or about $4,000 for a
construction program. Of that
amount the school board has al
ready spent $l6.4OO for sites for
the white and Negro schools and
secured an architect for the new
Negro school.
The petitioners apparently are
not satisfied with that effort.
They say, 1.-THE increased levy
has now been in effect two years
with no visible accomplishments
toward the end for which the tax
payers elected to subject them
selves to the increased tax bur-
den." They also note that they
desire to see some benefit from
the increase in taxes during their
lifetime.
Williams said today. "the
whole idea behind the petition is
simply to get the school board to
make application for a Literary
Fund loan to build the white ele-
mentary school. We realize they
can't build the school without the
money, but we also realize that
it will take some time to get it
after the application is filed"
I'VE certainly hope this has not
created any hard feelings among
the school board members and
our superintendent. We just want
to let them know how anxious we
are to get the ball rolling" VIII
