Mr.. Mcmillan has explained

Berlin have their families with

Both soldiers and civilians
attached to the allied missions
were ordered to their duty
posts. Trucks carried troops to
their headquarters through
residential streets. They re-
manned there until they got the
"all clear" from the three allied
generals.
Allied officials had orders to
disclose nothing specific about
the extent or purpose of the
alert. They called it a routine
exercise" Of the kind that takes
place at irregular intervals.
West Berlin police also held
a night training exercise, but
headquarters insisted that this
was not co-ordinated with the
allies. 1t was in the Chariot
tenburg district, part of the
British sector.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing
British tanks in the streets
later this morning. A British
spokesman called this a routine
movement and said it was not
connected with the alert.
ABOUT 1000 refugees from
Communist East Germany
poured into west Berlin in the
24-hour period ended at 8
O'Clock last night. The number
200 greater than the previous
day-waS a record for any one
day since June 1858, when anti
Communists revolted in East
Germany.
The influx shows no sign of
letting up despite reports of
sharper checks by red police
on trains and highways leading

Reserve Board Fears
Initiation in Arms Boost

| tereSt rates. The Federal Re-
serve tightenS money by SELL
ing Treasury securities on the
open market, raising the bank
rediscount rate and using other
tools.
But President Kennedy fears
that premature tightening of
money would cut the economy's
recovery short. Mr.. Martin so
far has gone along with this
viewpoint.
Nevertheless he is watching
closely for signs of incipient
initiation in the business re-
covery. The Federal Reserve
chairman probably would
choose an earlier stage Of the
economic upturn than the
President would wish as the
trigger point for q shift toward
tight money.
Board Fears Initiation
Now, on top of worry about
business recovery getting out
of hand, the big budget deficit
has come along to increase the
Federal Reserves fear of in
flation.
The administration takes the
position that classic" infla-
ton is no danger now because
unemployment is high and in.
dustry is operating far below
capacity. The Federal Re-
serve is a bit dubious about
this theory.
Although Mr.. Martin does
not believe monetary ease has
continued to a dangerous stage
so far, he expects the economy
to enter a testing time soon.
August will be a wait-and-
see month. In September and
October, the Federal Reserve
will watch for a tip-off in
money markets. If a shortage
of money and credit develops
spontaneously, the Federal Re-
serve will conclude that infla-
tionary pressures are building
up.
Money Shortage Feared
Many analysts would dis
agree, but the Federal Reserve
would blame the shortage of
money and credit on low in
terest rates-too low to draw
out the savings of potential
lenders who fear initiation.

Neither the American nor

has threatened to veto Outer

-
Billion. Poee As
President Kennedy and William
McChesney Martin, jr., chair
man of the semi-independent
Federal Reserve-although both
sides hope for an accommoda-
ton.
Mr.. Kennedy last week re-
acted to the Berlin crisis by
proposing an increase of $3.5
billion in appropriations for
military and civil defense. He
plans to spend $2.7 billion of
the added funds this fiscal
year, and decided against pro-
posing tax increases now to
meet the costs.
$5.3 Billion Deficit Seen
Although the administration
expects a strong economic up
turn to increase Government
revenues at existing tax rates,
the Budget Bureau has boosted
it's estimate of this years bud
get deficit from $3.7 billion to
|$5.3 billion. Many experts ex-
pect an even bigger deficit.
If the President had tried to
hold the deficit down by re-
questing tax increases, the Fed
eral Reserve probably would
have relaxed. But he did not
do so, and the increased budget
deficit is regarded as worri-
some by the Federal Reserves
initiation fighters.
Mr.. Martin so far has CO.
operated to a surprising de-
gree with the Presidents pro-
gram for stimulating the econ
omy by keeping the supply Of
money and credit relatively
"easy" and trying to hold long
term interest rates down.
Strong Economic Recovery

strongly from the recession, the
Federal Reserve normally would

McCIoy to Report
To Kennedy Tonight
On TuIks in Russia
By EARL H. VOSS
Star staff Writer

Russian-American diSarma-
ment talks which were recessed
in Moscow last week are likely
to be resumed in New York late
in August or early in Septem-
ber.
Presidential DiSar m a m e n
Adviser John j. McCloy flew
back to Washington from Mos
COW over the week end to re-
port on his talks with Soviet
Premier KhruShchev and other
Kremlin officials on general
disarmament and Berlin.
Mr.. McCloy brings an in
formal message from Mr.. Khru-
shchev to President Kennedy
at the White House tonight. In
advance of this meeting, Mr..
McCloy is cheduled to ngive a
detailed rpeort on his conver-
sations with Mr.. Khrushchev
to Secretary of State RuSk, who
will accompany Mr.. McCloy to
the White House.
Any indication that some
significant or dramatic de-
velopment in either diSarm-
ament or the Berlin situation
could be expected as a result
of the McCloy-KhruShchev
exchanges were discounted by
diplomatic sources here, who
said the disarmament talks
would resume.
Talks Frank but Cordial
The tone Of the conversations
with Premier Khrushchev last
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday was described as
frank but cordial" This ap-
piled both to the Berlin dis
cuSsions and the talks on gen.
eral disarmament, it was said.
There were no blowups.
The Soviet Union apparently
has made some slight move
ment on the scope of general
disarmament negotiations to
be undertaken if a new multi
nation forum can be agreed
upon. It was rated only as an
outside chance, however, that
the Soviet move would be
enough to satisfy the United
States.
Russia has been pressing to
keep the talks focused on its
general and complete dis
armament" proposal of 1859.
allowing discussion Of specific
disarmament measures only
within that framework. The
United States wanted to have
the option of discussing first
step disarmament moves out
side the Soviet framework.
1t was in this area that Rus
sia made a small concession
toward the United States posi-
ton.
Still Split on Forum
The two apparently are as
far apart as ever on the forum
for resuming negotiations. The
Soviet Union seeks a "troika"-
type forum in which Western,
Soviet and uncommitted states
would have five seats apiece.
The United States has pro-
posed adding 10 uncommitted
nations to the 1860 list of par
ticipants, composed of five ma
