Berlin Speech
Tonight Slated
BYPresident
Step-by-Step
Defense BuiIdup
Proposed Likely
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy unveils to
the Nation tonight a broad plan
for stepping up defense against
the Communist threat to Berlin
and throughout the world.
Informed sources said Mr..
Kennedy's strategy was set to
provide for a step-by-step
Western strengthening as Com
munist presSures mount on Ber-
lin and a long-term increase
in ability to counter the Reds
should they turn on the heat
elsewhere.
The radio television broad
cast is scheduled for 10 pm.
Seek Arms Boost
This involves an increase in
the United States preparedness
program above the $43 billion
Mr.. Kennedy has already asked
for the military this year, big
ger arms contributions by the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation allies, and further team
work among the allies in dip
lomatic, political and economic
tactics.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev,
who has announced a big Rus
sian arms build-up, says he will
sign a peace treaty with Com
muniSt East Germany at the
end of this year. And this
treaty, the Kremlin boss says,
will wipe out the rights of the
United States, Britain and
France to Communist-sur-
rounded West Berlin.
Press Secretary Pierre Salin-
ger said Mr.. Kennedy himself
did most of the speech writing
as the President and his aides
worked on tonight's address.
More Messages Possible
Mr.. Salinger raised a posi-
bility that not one but several
messages on defense and re-
lated questions may be sent to
Congress in a series.
Among those stopping off at
the White House yesterday we're
Secretary of State Rusk. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Dillon and
Walter Heller, chairman of the.
Presidents Council of Eco
nomic Advisers.
One major item in the Ken
nedy package is civil defense.
InformantS said the Chief Ex-
ecutive wants to raise around
$500 million-triple his present
budget-the Federal outlays for
preparedness against any Soviet
attack on the United States.

CostofL fLiVinq
Hits Record
Non-EdibIe Goods
Are Biggest Factor
BY the Associated Press

The cost Of living rose two
tenths of / per cent in June to
reach a new high.
Evan Clague, Commissioner
Of Labor Statistics, told report
ers nonfood commodities were
the largest factor in the rise,
although food went up to
some extent"
The Labor Departments con-
sumer price index for June
reached 1915 per cent of the
1947-49 average-an increase
of one-tenth of per cent over
the previous peak reached last
December.
Mr.. Clague noted that the
index-reflecting the average
costs of a typical city family
has remained practically stable
since last october.
The report showed a two
tenths Of per cent increase in
retail food prices, primarily be-
cause of seasonally higher aver
age prices for fresh fruits and
most fresh vegetables.
Apple Storage Low
A rise of about 6 per cent for
fresh fruits was due mainly to
a rise of about 13 per cent for
apples. reflecting low storage
supplies, and a sharp increase
in watermelon prices.
There were sharp declines in
beef and poultry prices, con-
trary to the general trend for
this time of year. And prices
of dairy products decreased
somewhat, extending a six
month downtrend.
The department said average
prices for every major compo-
Inent Of the housing index ad-
vanced between May and June,
with the exception of seasonal
price cuts on coal and petro-
leum fuels. Significant in
creases because of higher labor
costs were reported for home
repairs and maintenance.
The transportation price
group registered an advance of
eight-tenths of per cent in
June, accounting for more than
half the net rise in the overall
living cost level. The major
share of the increase was due
to higher prices for used cars
and gasoline. The used car
index has risen 14.3 per cent
since January in an unusually
rapid advance, the department
said.
Medical Care Costlier
Higher disqualification and
surgical insurance rates led the
advance of three-tenths of 1
per cent in the medical care
category, but other elements in
this group also increased.
About 100000 workers were
eligible for a pay adjustment
based on the June living cost
figures, but the rise was in
sufficient to result in any
change for more than 10000.
The department attributed a
rise in factory worker buying
power mainly to a longer work
week and to somewhat higher
average hourly earnings. After
tax earnings rose by about
$1.10 over June to $83.74 a week
for a production worker head
ing a family Of four.

TUNIS, July 25 (AP).-Tu-
nisian President Habib Bour-
guiba accused France today Of
violating the Security Coun.
cil's Bizerte cease fire order By
refusing to withdraw to their
pre-battle positions and by ex.
tending their hold on Tunisiar
territory.
Mr.. Bourguiba warned at 8
news conference that fighting
may break out again. He said
he had told nations that had
offered volunteers to help TuI
nisia that he needed trained
guerrilla fighters, planes based
in Tunisia or other countries
arms and mobile antiaircraf
batteries.
Mr.. Bourguiba did not ac-
cuse the French of renewing
the attack. But he said if they
did not withdraw from Bizerte
city into the naval base enclave
fighting is bound to start
again."
1--WE have decided to resist
until the end and we are pre.
pared for new hostilities," the
President declared.

1--WE have decided to inform
the Security Council that this

While Mr. Bourguiba spoke
United Nations Secretary Gen.
eral Dag HammarSkjold con-
ferred with Tunisian officials
in an effort to keep the crisis
from mushrooming into ever
bigger proportions.
Mr.. Hammarskjold, who ar
rived in the Tunisian capital
yesterday at Mr.. Bourguiba's
invitation, was studying Tu-
nisia's case against France in
one of the thorniest and most
difficult tasks of his career.
A number Of Tunisiana
doubted than the U. N. official
would produce a solution that
would satisfy Tunisia, which
wants total unconditional
French withdrawal from the
Bizerte base.
TuniSians Hold Positions
While Mr.. Bourguiba com
planned that the French troops
refused to withdraw to pre-.
battle positions, his own sol,
diers clung to barricaded points
at Bizerte in similar Disregard
for the U. N. order.
Referring to a hitch over the
negotiation site, the President
said protocol questions have
not permitted contact" between
Tunisian authorities in Bizerte
and the French commander
Vice Admiral Maurice Amman
THAT is one more thing
which proves the bad faith OF
the French" he said. %. the

Mr.. Bourguiba suggested thai

Mcmillan Move
Seen as ReprisuI
By City OfficiuI

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee today
named members of a subcom-
mittee to investigate District
departments in what one Of
ficial has called a move of "ac-
tive reprisal."
Frederick L. Haller, chair
man of the Districts Board of
Appeals and Review and one
of the licensing officials who
has said Mr.. Mcmillan pres
sured them to grant a license
to a used-car dealer. injected
the "reprisal" charge.
"I regret" he said, "that
Mr.. Mcmillan has apparently
seized on this procedure to ap-
parently exercise active re-
prisal."
The auto dealer lost his IL
cense in 49, during a crack
down on used-car sales prac-
ticeS.
To Sift Complaints
Mr.. Mcmillan said appoint
ment of a congressional sub
committee is necessary to look
into what he termed a number
of complaints against District
departments charged with en-
forcement of laws passed by
Congress.
The South Carolina Demo-
crat named his co-chairman of
the investigating group, Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat of
Georgia. Other members, he
announced, are Democratic
Representatives Whitener of
North Carolina and Dowdy of
Texas, and Republicans Broy-
hill Of Virginia, Matthias of
Maryland and Harsha of Ohio.
Mr.. Mcmillan said the staff
Of the House District Commit
tee is going over material on
which future hearings will be
based. No date for the first
hearing has been set as yet, he
added.
Tobriner Doesn't Object
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner. commenting on Mr..
Haller's charge of "reprisal,"
said he could not object in
any way to Mr.. McMillan's
proposal to check into the
proper administration of the
laws and the fulfillment of con-
gressional intent in respect to
their administration in certain
departments Of the District
government"
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke expressed the
same sentiment and said "Il
think it is perfectly proper for
Representative Mcmillan as
head of the District House
Committee to investigate any
aspect of the Districts official
life as a part of the legislative
process"
John B. Duncan, who was
sworn in yesterday as the city's
third Commissioner, said he is
not familiar enough with the
situation" to comment at this
time.

tee, meanwhile, went into it's
