MOSCOW, Dec. 80 (AP). -
East Germany's Communist

BERLIN, Dec. 80 (AP). =
The Soviet commandant in
Berlin and his top political ad-
wiser have been barred from
the city's American sector in
reprisal for Red moves to keep
United States officials out of
East Berlin.
The action announced by the
United States mission here to-
day marks the first time in
Berlin's postwar history that
a Russian commandant has
been banned from the western
sector of the divided city.
The American move was
aimed at forcing the Soviets
to make the satellite East Ger
man Communist regime remove
curbs on the movement of
Americans in the Red-ruled
portion of the divided city.
A United States spokesman
said the Soviets were informed
Wednesday of the bar. Since
then, there has been no at

Atmospheric A-Tests
Decision Called Near
BY the Associated Press

The United States decision to
resume testing of nuclear wea-
pons in the atmosphere was
described today as imminent.
Informed sources spoke in
terms of days or weeks, rather
than months, of the time when
they expect President Kennedy
to give the signal.
While authorities said Mr..
Kennedy has not yet made the
final decision to go ahead with
the tests, they expressed little
doubt that he would, barring
some major change in interna-
tional conditions.
Impetus for a renewal of
United States atmospheric tests
after a three-year layoff stems
from Russia's breaking the test
moratorium with a series of ex-
plosive trials last fall.
Western studies of more than
SO Russian atmospheric explo-
sions indicate the Soviets made
significant progress in trigger

explosive power into smaller

Message in Work

PALM BEACH, Fla, Dec. 80.
President Kennedy has fixed
the pattern of his 1862 legisla-
tive program in a post-ChriSt-
mas week of conferences here,
aides said today.
The key decision making
process preliminary to actual
writing of the state-of-the-
Union message was reported
wrapped up" in a session with
a group of staff assistants and
Budget Bureau Director David
Bell last night.
Mr.. Kennedy will outline
what he wants Congress to do
next year in the message he
will deliver personally before a
joint session of the Senate and
House a day or two after Con-
gress reconvenes January 10.
1t is understood that he plans
to follow up later with a series
of special messages presenting
in detail his recommendations
for some major programs, such
as farm legislation and a new
foreign trade policy.
To Be in Florida for Week
The President is expected to
continue working here next
week with Theodore Sorensen,
his special counsel and chief
speech-writing aide, on draft
ing his state-of the Union mes
sage.
Meanwhile, the President was
heartened by improvement in
the condition of his father,
partially paralyzed and speech
less as the result of a stroke
suffered December 10.
A memo to the President
from DR.. Howard Rusk, out
standing specialist on the re-
Mobilization of disabled persons.
was made public yesterday.
It reported marked improve
ment" during the previous 48
hours in the condition of the
73-year-old Joseph P. Kennedy,
former Ambassador to Great
Britain. But DR.. Rusk said it is
too early to predict yet the ex-
tent to which the elder Mr..
Kennedy may recover his speech
and use of his paralyzed right
side.
Kennedy Drives Again
Today, the President bumped
his Secret Service agent as a
chauffeur again and drove his
open convertible to the hospital
to visit his father.
Mr.. Kennedy arrived at the
hospital at 1925 am. Cold
weather kept away the usual
waiting crowd.
Doctors said the elder Ken
nedy is doing fine.
While the President visited
at his fathers bedside for %
minutes, a Secret Service agent
put up the top and windows of
the car for the return trip to the
ocean-front temporary White
House. Mr.. Kennedy again was
his own chauffeur for the re-
turn trip.
The temperature reached an
overnight low of "a in this

peace with revolt torn Algeria

touched off new violence today
by European settlers in the
African territory.
Two Moslems and a French
policeman were killed in new
disorders in Oran, bringing to
six the number killed in that
Algerian port in less than "a
hours. The city's commercial
life was paralyzed by a shut
down of shops and cafes by Eu-
ropean owners.
Hardly had Gen. de Gaulle
finished his speech last night
announcing most of the French
Army will be withdrawn from
Algeria than riots erupted in
Oran. French troops, who some
times sided with the Europeans
in the past, moved in quickly to
put down the disorder.
Two young men and a
French Marine were killed,
authorities reported, in a rum
ming fight between civilians and
troops in Oran, big western
Algerian seaport.
Armed bands of Europeans
clashed with French military
patrols in the port, long a
hotbed of opposition to con-
cessions of any sort toward the
Algerian nationalist rebels.
Policeman Shot Dead
The European policeman at
