Boshirthe Camel Driver
ToSee johnson Sunday

BY the ASSOCIATED Press
Bashir Ahmed. the friendly
camel driver, has a date with
Vice President johnson in
Washington Sunday.
The Vice Presidents office
said final arrangements for
the much postponed visit are
expected to be worked out to-
day.
Bashir gave family reasons
for not keeping a date with
Mr.. johnson last July 4.
This time both the Pakistan
Embassy and Mr.. Johnsons
office hope the project will go
through as a simple and
friendly people -to-people ex-
change.
This is not a circus" said
a johnson aide. IT'S a visit
of a very friendly man. We
want to do what we can to see
that he sees this country as it
really is. warm and friendly to
him and the PakiStan people. "
This is a chance for the
people of Pakistan to see for
themselves through his eyes, u
the aide said.
AS the plans are now Bashir
won't get a chance to see New
York. Instead. he will be given
a good look at rural areas. He
may even spend some time at
Mr.. Johnson's LBJ Ranch in
. Texas.
The visit is being privately
financed by some men who
heard of Mr.. Johnson's meeting
with Bashir and thought il
would be a good idea If he coulo

though the unemployment rate
still is stuck near I per cent,
I'VE are beginning to make a

Cut to 1 Per Cent Is Goal
The rate was SO per cent last
month. and has stayed neal
the 7 per cent mark for 10 con-

Mr.. Goldberg issued his Opt.

was arrested last night on a
charge of constructing a fall
out shelter without city build

Il think it's ridiculous" he
said today after obtaining his
liberty on 500 bond. Nobody
can say you don't have the
right to defend yourself until

Requiring a building permit

Conviction could carry a fine

keep the number of iobless
workers below million next
February.
Unemployment totaled 4.085,-
900 last month, when seasonal
factors were favorable. and en-
ployment totaled 7.038.000.
Mr.. Goldberg based his claims
largely on gains since last Feb
ruary. the worst month Of the
recent recession.
rs Million Rise Cited
Since February. he noted. the
number Of wage and salary
workers on non-farm payrolls
has increased by 2.6 million to
500 million-a record high
The gain of 2.6 million was
double the normal seasonal up
turn. Mr.. Goldberg said.
The Labor Departments re-
port showed that unenlploy-
ment has stayed high longer
than in past recoveries from
recessions. In September. sever
months after the economy hi
bottom. the 6.8 per cent jobleS'
rate was the same as in Feb.
ruary. Seven months after re-
covery from the 1858 recession
began the rate had declined
from 7.3 to 81 per cent.

said. The payroll increase Il

GromYko Bars Deo
Over Berlin Status
Red Official
nLondon
For Talks

LONDON, Oct. 10 (AP).-s
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko today ruled out
any change in East Berlin's
Communist dominated status
in exchange for an end to the
Western occupation of West
Berlin.
The question of East Berlin
does not exist. 1t is part of the
German Democratic Republic.
The problem of West Berlin
exists because they have a diff
ferent social SYSTEM" Mr..
Gromyko said.
He made the remarks as he
arrived from New York for a
brief round of talks with Prime
Minister Macmillan and For
eign Minister Lord Home. In
recent weeks some Western Of
ficials have suggested that the
West might be willing to put
Berlin under United Nations
control if this was extended to
East Berlin and the city uni
fled.
Differences in Definitions
Asked if he thought the
Western powers and the Soviet
Union give the same interpre-
tation to the "demilitarized
free city" status the Russians
have demanded for West Ber-
lin, Mr.. Gromyko replied:
Sometimes I think the def
milton is not understood cor
rectly. 1t is an independent
entity with proper guarantee.
One Of the guarantees will be
the Soviet Union"
Mr.. Gromyko flies on to
Moscow tomorrow. He left the
United States after apparently
fruitless talks with President
Kennedy and Secretary Of
State Rusk. Both the United
States and British governments
are said TO feel that the out
come left no acceptable terms
upon which the East and West
could negotiate on Germany's
future.
Throughout the Washington
talks Mi Gromyko declined to
spell out what the Soviet Union
meant by its assertions that
the Vests rights in Berlin
would be guaranteed after the
Russians sign a peace treaty
with East Germany as they
say they will.
Mr.. Gromyko said his con-
versations with Mr.. Kennedy
were not conclusive. It is
difficult indeed to find any,
body who would say, Well, l
know now the situation will
develop"
Hopeful Of Settlement
The Soviet leader told news
: men he thought there was a
: definite possibility of a peace
: full settlement.
But not everything is de-
pendent on the Soviet Union"
: he said. My understanding is
that President Kennedy realizes
that Germany-We call it the
. question of the German peace
treaty-is the most important
: and acute at present. My def
: mite opinion is that he agrees
: with this.
"All powers, first of all the
/ government of the great powers
and those of Europe, should do
everything to avert the danger
of a military collision.
They must do everything"
Mr.. Gromyko's sudden deci-
sion yesterday to stop off in
London took the British gov
eminent by surprise.

Secretary General

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Oct. 10 (AP) The United
States intensified negotiations
with the Soviet Union today on
an interim secretary general
for the United Nations after
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson
reported some progress" toward
breaking the deadlock.
Mr.. Stevenson conferred for
an hour and 40 minutes yes
terday with Soviet Foreign Min
lister Gromyko and told report
ers he was very hopeful some
decision can be reached"
I'VE made some progress with
respect to the problem of the
secretary general" Mr.. Steven
son said as he left the Soviet
mission headquarters on Upper
Park avenue. Mr.. Gromyko left
later for Moscow by way of
London.
Other Matters Discussed
Mr.. Stevenson said that a
number of the problems also
were discussed. including the
German question. He SAID the
German phase Of the talks had
not been useless.
Mr.. Stevenson was Sched-
uled to see Soviet Delegate VAL
erian A. Zorin this afternoon
in what American sources de-
scribed as a continuing series
Of talks on the problem OF
successor for the late Dag Ham,
marskjold.
The United States and Rus
STA are reported agreed on
Ambassador U Thant of Burma
as an internim successor, but
they differ on how he should
function in that office.
Russia has insisted on an
evenly matched group OF West
ern, Communist and neutralist
deputies with whom the secre-
tary general would have to con-
suit before making any de-
cisions. The United States con-
tends there should be no check
on the secretary generals au-
thority.
Wants Free Hand
Ambassador u Thant is re-
luctant to accept the post un-
less the Soviet Union and the
Western powers agree on his
powers. He repeatedly has
told Soviet delegates he could
not operate as secretary gen.
eral unless given a free hand.
In the Assembly. Cuban For
eign Minister Raul Roa in a
policy speech this afternoon
was expected to make a new
attack on the United States,
charging the Washington gov
eminent is training a new in
vaSion force to attack Fidel
Castro's regime and is trying
10 torpedo Cuba'S relations with
other nations as an invasion
preliminary.
Acting Cuban Foreign Minis
ter Carlos Olivares apparently
gave a preview of Mr.. Roa s
speech with a 1,600-word of
fetal note delivered in Havana
last night to heads Of diplo-
matte missions there.
Invasion Training Charged
The note charged the United
States is giving invasion train
ing to anti-Castro Cubans at
20 camps in the United States
and nine other points in the
Caribbean area.
Mr.. Olivares also repeated
Mr., RoaS charge in a letter to
Assembly President Mongi Slim
last Wednesday that the United
States is planting false docu-
ments designed to upset Cuba s
relations with other nations.
AS an example. Mr.. Olivares
cited the case of Vitalio de la
Tore, Cuban consul in Buenos
Aires. who detected in August
and gave the Argentine gov
eminent papers he said were
Cuban plans to topple the gov
eminent of Argentine President
Arturo Frondizi. Mr.. Castro
claimed the documents were

Hear Demand
For Austerity
New Fund Sources
Also Urged at
Budget Hearing
By SAM EASTMAN
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The Commissioners today
heard a wide range of pro-
posals on how to cope with the
Districts revenue-p j n c h e d
spending future for the next
fiscal year.
The recommendations, voiced
at the Commissioners annual
public budget hearing, ranged
from requests for an austerity
policy to suggestions for bring
ing in additional revenue.
Today's hearing was on the
proposals from city budget Of
ficials for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July l. Budget
recommendations to be made
later by the Commissioners will
be submitted to Congress next
January.
TwO-Package Plan
The proposals from the Com
missioners aides were divided
into two budget packages. The
first totals $26l.5 million, the
amount that could be financed
from current revenue sources.
The second budget is $34 mil
lion and covers items that the
budget office considers worth
while, but which would have to
be shelved unless the city
comes up with additional reve-
nue. next year.
For the past two budget
years, the Commissioners have
been unable to get revenue
bill through Congress.
The Districts Department of
General Administration esti-
mates that a revenue increase
of 1924 million from taxes or
borrowing is needed to pay for
a $685. million budget-the
total for both the first and
second programs. The extra
1924 million would be enough
to finance the S34 million sec
ond budget because actual ap-
preparations for some items
would be deferred until the
following fiscal year.
Gap in General Fund
The revenue spending gap
facing the District is in the
general fund, the major book
keeping category covering such
programs as education, health
welfare and police. The pro-
posais from budget officials
carried no specific revenue
raising recommendations. The
budget offices spending recon
mendations can be matched
against city department re-
quests totaling 5000 million
and a current budget of S27C
million.
Today's leadoff witness ir
the District Building was Will
liam A. Roberts. of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations
who called for a sharp cur
