AT Wall Seen
By the Associated Press

~ Wv AaoeSAaAGA EAEaA
The Soviets may close off the
East Berlin crossing at the
American zone any day now
and reroute allied traffic
through a new crossing at the
British sector, informed sources
said today.
The three Western powers
have not received intelligence
reports about such a closing,
the informants added. but they
have observed construction ma
terial being brought to the
vicinity Of the checkpoint in
East Berlin.
The ambaSsadorial group
which meets at the State De-
partment to draft contingency
plans for allied moves and
countermoves in Berlin dis
cussed this possibility last week.
But the group-consisting of
the Ambassadors of Britain,
France, and Germany with Foy
d. Kohler, United States As
siStant Secretary of State. pre-
siding-has reached no decision.
To Embarrass u. S.
Should the Soviets close
"Checkpoint Charlie" the
Friedrichstrasse crossing where
American and Soviet tanks
faced each other for about 16
tense hours in October, their
chief reason will be to embar-
rass the United States. But.
officials here believe, they also
will put the British into an
awkward situation.
Each of the three allied
powers has responded differ
emily to the East Germans de-
mand for Identification from
allied personnel entering East
Berlin.
The Americans not only re-
fused to comply but sent armed
escorts through the gate when
ever a United States official
in civilian clothes drove to East
Berlin.
The British, on the other
hand, showed their identif.ca-
ton papers through the win
dows of their cars.
The French did not comply
with the request but made no
attempt to force their way into
East Berlin.
British in Charge
If a new checkpoint is opened
in the British sector, the British
will be in charge. The neces-
sity, therefore, to establish a
uniform Western policy on how
to react to this or any similar
Communist demands is more
acute than ever. Washington
officials believe.
There are, however. no signs
yet indicating that a uniform
platform has been found, in
formantS said. q
There are sharp differences
of opinion in the Kennedy ad-
ministration and in the am
bassadorial group over what
should be done If the crossing
is changed, informants said.
Those who demanded last
August that the West should
prevent by force If necessary
the building of the Berlin wall
now say that the West should
not tolerate another unilateral
action by the Soviets.
Others are willing to accept
the attitude of the British, who
believe that since the West did
not act when the wall was
erected, there is nothing to be
done now but to accept the
changed circumstances - at
least until they touch on vital

BY the Associated Press


President Kennedy plans to
sign legislation today that will
start some 5000 million in
benefits flowing to children in
need because Of family unem-
ployment.
The bill carries out one Of
Mr.. Kennedy's urgent recon-
mendations to Congress and he
expects to sign 1t this After
noon. 1t provides Federal par
ticipation IN benefits for such
children on the same basis as
the existing Federal-State pro-
grams for children whose wage
earning parents have died. de-
serted them or become disabled.
The new program is optional
for the States. Federal welfare
officials based their estimate
Of its scope on the Assumption
that about half the States -
with considerably more than
half the children affected -
would choose to take part.
Another section Of the meas
ure provides some $40 million
more in Federal funds for the
medical care Of persons on old
age assistance rolls, as provided
in the medical care bill passed
last year. The maximum would
be increased from $12 to SIS
a month.

Burma to form a neutral South

Western powers have not made
up their minds on the way I'd

For Housing

President Kennedy aske d
Congress today to increase the
1862 fiscal year budget OF the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency by $36,65O,O0O.
He asked that the bulk of
the new money-$30 million
be appropriated for direct loans
to promote housing for the
elderly.
The Housing Act of 1859 au-
thorized $50 million for hous-
ing for the elderly. Only $40
million was appropriated for
this purpose in the 1861 fiscal
year. Former President Eisen-
hower's January budget did not
ask any new funds for the
program.
The White House said the
$50 million requested today
would use up the unappropri-
ated balance of the $50 million
authorization, and noted that
Mr.. Kennedy has urged that
the loan authorization be raised
to 500 million.
His appropriation request to-
day also included an extra S4
million to expand the program
Of interest-free advances to
communities for planning local
public works; $500, 900 for q
program of research in housing
and urban development. and
$3.50, 900 for salaries and ex-
