total of 1925 refugees from
East Germany flooded into
West Beriinss overcrowded re-
ception center in the last "a
hours despite strenuous efforts
by the East German police to
dam the flow. Hundreds OF
persons were turned back by
increased patrols.
The figure announced late
today was nearly 200 more than
for the previous "a hours and
compared with LILO for last
Wednesday.
The flow gained impetus
fro m Premier Khrushchev's

Soviet firmness on the Berlin
problem. Many of the refu-
gees fear that their chance to
flee from the Communist re-
gime soon will be cut off al

The exodus of refugees al
the rate of almost 1000 a day
is the heaviest since the abor-
tive East German revolt eight
years ago.
Potatoes Rati0ned
Rationing of the autumn
crop of potatoes was an
nounced in East Germany to-
day. At the same time, Off
cials there reported that pro-
duction of consumer goods
such as shoes and refrigerators
had fallen short of the goals
in the first six months of this
year.
An East Berlin official said
the regime may order sternel
measures against East Ber-
liners who work in the West
sector of the city.
Waldemar Schmidt, deputy
mayor of East Berlin, was asked
by an interviewer from the
Communist newspaper Berline1
Zeitung whether the commuters
would eventually require state
permission to work in the West
Mr.. Schmidt said registration
was all that was being under
taken "for the time being" He
said the campaign to register
the estimated 1000 commuters
would help them realize thei
mistake" switch jobs to the
East and help increase East
Germany's dwindling manpowel
supply.
Payments in West Marks
Registration is part of the
campaign directed against the
commuters by the regime. II
was ordered so authorities coulc
keep track of all who work ir
the West, but live in the eastern
sector and now must pay utility
and other government bills ir
western marks. Payment in
West German currency, worth
almost five times more than the
Communist money, was ordered
last week.
Mr.. Schmidt claimed several
hundred already had switched
jobs.
But hundreds of others have
made another decision and
Joined the westward flow OF
refugees. They preferred tc
abandon their homes in the

Congress Hit

Dodd citicizes
Opponents Of New
Court Judges
BY GRACE BASSETT

4 bristling attack on Con-
sreSSional inaction opened SEN
ats hearings on District juve-
lie problems today.
The sessions conducted BY
District subcommittee Chair
man Hartke, Democrat Of In
diana, turned into q probe OF
the causes Of wayward habits
Of the young.
Senator Dodd. Democrat of
Connecticut, said that to block
passage Of bills to add two
judges to the District Juvenile
Court was "bullheaded, dogged
betrayal OF young people. -
This proposal has been re-
jected by q House subcommit-
tee whose members substituted
. bill shifting the Juvenile
Court into the Municipal Court,
with the addition of one Judge.
There has been over the last
two years an obvious campaign
Of stalling, smokeScreening and
vacillation," )" Senator Dodd tes-
titled. while those of us ask
ing q solution have been deal
ing in good faith, it is painfully
obvious we have not been dealt
with in good faith"
Compromise Sought
The Senate last session
passed the two-judge measure.
This year, Senators have been
trying quietly to work out q
compromise with the House in
an effort to clear some legisla-
ton to relieve the court back
log Of more than 1900 cases.
In stern language, directed to
the House, Senator Dodd, chair
man of the Senate Subcommit-
tee to Investigate Juvenile De-
linquency, added:
These enemies of the court
know how desperately it needs
relief and they are using this
desperation to try to ram
through q bill that would de-
stroy what we have been work
ing so hard to build for the last
so years, 1t is obvious our
patience is being tried-that we
are being put in the position
where we win be tempted to
capitulate on all the basic
issues"
The real issue of the Senate
hearings, said Senator Dodd,
was the perennial controversy
between the two Houses OF
Congress over what Is good and
what is not good for the Dis
trict."
Shift IN Cases Favored
The District Commissioners
aware Of the Senate House
conflict, submitted a compro-
mise approach. Next to the
two-judge bill. Commissioner
John B., Duncan said the city
heads would favor shifting
adult cases from Juvenile to
Municipal Court and author
izing appointment of one more
Municipal Court judge and one
more Juvenile Court judge.
Adult cases include criminal
non-support. paternity, con-
tributing to delinquency ot
minors, violations of compul-
sorry education laws and viola
tion Of child labor laws.

u 5. Accepts
Control Shifts
On Latin Aid
Bucks Resolution
For Five-Nution
Progress Alliance
BY GEORGE SHERMAN
star staff Writer

PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uru.
quay. Aug. g. The United
States today accepted revisions
in its $40 billion aid program
for Latin America and sup
ported a five-nation Alliance
for Progress resolution.
The United States delega-
ton bowed to Latin Sensitivity
and agreed to changes which
eliminate two objections on
control features of the plan.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mex
leo and Peru had produced o
draft resolution which seconded
the American program but
changed certain features to
satisfy the sovereign minded
LatinS.
The United States even joined
in revising the two objection
able plankS. One would set up
a public information organiza-
tion for the program. The
other would establish an ad-
visory and co-ordinaing agency
called the "Seven wise mem
for national development pro-
grams.
Committee Status Changed
The draft proposal intro
duced today changes the inde-
pendent standing of the COM
mittee of experts into an ad
hoe panel operating under the
Inter American Development
Bank and each Latin American
country which requests its
help.
United States delegates pro-
fessed to believe the changes
strengthen" the original Steer
ing Committee, because 1t
brings experts for hemisphere
coordination closer to the
Inter- american Bank which
will channel most United States
funds to the Latins. Il
The new ad hoe panel will
be charged, these sources say,
with investigating national
plans submitted to it and then
finding the sources for inter-
national aid once the plans are
approved. This will facilitate
quick financing OF comprehen-
sivey Iorlg-terI1a development,
they say.
The $40 billion five-nation
proposal, introduced at a night
session, was accompanied by an
appeal to all governments to
get their programs ready within
10 months. This made clear the
sponsors wanted each nation
to do its own planning.
Guevara Speech Ignored
The United States studiously
ignored a two-hour harangue
last night by Cuba'S economic
czar, Ernesto (Che) Guevara,
and delegation spokesman
said the vitriolic assault on
President Kennedy's program
would not be "dignified with q
response"
