200 Youth Gunqs
Roam New York
Witness Testifies
By the Associated Press

Two hundred youth gangs
with one common desire-to
fight-are roaming the streets
of New York City. an official
of the City Youth Board says.
Aaron Schmais, assistant to
New York's Commissioner of
Youth Services, said the city'S
resources have been mobilized
to try to prevent an outbreak
of gang warfare.
"The outlook is rather grim, -
he told a House Education sub
committee studying juvenile
delinquency yesterday, but we
are not relaxing our vigilance. !"
Mr.. Schmais tie stified in
favor of an administration bill
to provide $50 million for a
five-year program of pilot
projects to develop ways for
coping with the problem of
youthful crime. But he said the
sum was nowhere near large
enough.
Mr.. Schmais said the New
York gangs have between 80
and 70 members each. to whom
the gang is the most important
feature Of their lives. Each
gang has an arsenal of weapons
and is organized mainly to fight
any rival gang that encroaches
on its territory. ...r.

Geneva in 1882" the latest
American note declared.
1t charted the long history of
Soviet Illustration Of Western
tempts to reunify Germany in
freedom and answered point by
point Soviet claims on Berlin.
There Is no reason for a
attempts to reunify Germany in
crisis over Berlin" the United
States reply concluded. "If one
develops it is because the Soviet
Union is attempting to invade
the basic rights of others. All
the world will plainly see that
the misuse of such words as
peace and freedom cannot
conceal a threat to raise tension
to the point of danger and sup
press the freedom of those who
now enjoy it,"
Fundamental Obligation"
The note commented that
the immediate cause of this
threat to peace arises from the
announced intention of the
Soviet Government to present
the three Western powers with
a de facto situation based on
the false assertion that they
would no longer be entitled to
remain in Berlin, or to have
free access thereto. Such a
move could lead to highly
dangerous developments, and
would be totally devoid of legal
effect. The United States con-
Siders the exercise of its rights
together with its British and
French allies. in order to main-
tain the freedom Of over 2 mil
lion people in West Berlin, a
fundamental political and
moral obligation"

treaty with East Germany

GUATEMALA, July 18 (AP)
Police today arrested an unde-
termined number of persons
officially described as revolu-
tionary conSpirators after a
gunfight in a residential section
Of Guatemala. No one was hurt.
The fight started, after a
police partol was fired on.
Most escaped as one of the
group covered the retreat with
a sub-machine gun.
Police said the house where
the group was hiding had
stocks Of ammunition. uniforms
and antigovernment propa-
ganda. -
A police spokesman said one
Of the conspirators had been
identified as 1t. Mario Yong
Sosa, a leader in an abortive
revolt last November.

Western rights cannot be
unilaterally abrogated by any
act Of the Soviet government

ain. France or the Soviet
Union) withdraws from these
arrangements. then it is clearly
the responsibility of the other
three to make such DISPOSE
tions with respect to the exer-
else Of their access rights as
they deem appropriate" -,
This was as close as the
American note came to threat
ening language. The tone was
firm but not belligerent. =:
The three Western powers
based their rights in Berlin on
a September 1874 protocol
signed by the United States,
the United Kingdom and the
Soviet Union, later acceded to
by France. A copy of the
protocol was attached to the
American note.
The American note stressed
the need for self determination
that is, free elections-to ac-
complish German reunification.
1t charged that the Soviet
Union was violating its United
Nations Charter obligations by
denying freedom of choice to
II million East Germans and
by blocking free elections in all
Germany. y
The separate peace treaty
would be an effort, the United
States said, to perpetuate this
denial of freedom Of choice to
the German people. -
