In a tough-worded statement
approved by President Kennedy
and Secretary of State Rusk,
the United States yesterday
rejected as false Soviet charges
that the Western powers are
airlifting West German spies
and Saboteurs to West Berlin.
Aggressive Act" Phrase
The United States statement,
issued at the White House, de-
nounced the Moscow protest as
cynical and irresponsible at a
time when the Reds, in direct
violation" of agreements to
unity Germany, built a barri-
cade sealing off East Berlin.
1t said that any Red interfer-
ence with access TO West Berlin
would be an aggressive act"
In London, meanwhile, Brit
ain also voiced a similar warm
ing to Russia. At the same
time, the Foreign Office dis
closed it has advised British
nationals contemplating visits
to East Germany that they
would trave, at their own risk.
Western Big -Four represent

take up the latest Soviet note

vigor considered necessary.

on the Soviet note of August 8

BERLIN, Aug. Is (AP). -
Walter Ulbricht, Communist
boss of East Germany, tonight
demanded full control of all
traffic routes by land, water
and air to isolated Berlin.
Speaking at a mass rally of
invited party faithful in East
Berlin, he said:
In the opinion of all sensi-
bic people there must be ne
gotiations soon over disposing
of the remains of World War
II, through the conclusion of a
peace treaty so that peace will
reign at last 16 years after the
. end of the war"
If the Western powers refuse
to do this, he went on, then
the negotiations would be

thorities, was still operating
normally.
One official described as "a
big surprise" the Soviet move
to challenge so directly allied
access to West Berlin as we'll as
West Germany's.
In the Soviet "salami tactics"
foreseen by the Western allies,
it was expected that a challenge
of the allied access to Berlin
would be the last slice" not
one of the first slices.
Instead Russia plunged di-
rectly into a challenge of
access, thus quickening the
pace of the crisis beyond
Western expectations.

Communist leader Walter Ul-
BRIGHT scheduled for today was

Price Index

The consumer price index.
led by higher food costs, rose
by 0.4 per cent in July, 10 a
record high of 1891, the Labor
Department reported today. 1t
was the biggest advance in
nine months.
Food prices in the Washing
ton area rose 0.8 per cent. The
advance, the largest monthly
increase of the year, primarily
reflected higher prices for
eggs, pork products and fresh
fruits.
Food was the only major
group in the local figures for
July. The next complete index
on all fronts will cover prices
in August, the department said.
Seasonal Price Rise
On the national scene, aver
age retail food prices rose by
.0.9 per cent during the month,
backed by seasonal rises for
eggs, pork products and milk.
This food price rise to a new
high of 1920 exceeded the pre-
vious record of 1917 set in July,
1858.
The index is based on aver
age prices in 1947-1949, repre-
sented by the figure 100.
Gasoline and used cars were
both up 1.2 per cent, according
to Robert Myers, deputy COM
missioner of the Bureau of La

I He reported a nonseasonal
increase in apparel prices, up 3

Allies Fucino
A New Cop:
Water Gun

The American Army appar-
emily was caught unprepared
by the Communist introduc-
ton of water cannon into
the skirmish of the Berlin
barrier.
Army spokesnen say allied
forces can if necessary meet
the enemy with emergency
water equipment of compara-
BILE range and caliber, but not
of equal sophistication.
Translating military par
lance, this means that the en-
emy squirt gun-apparcntly a
high pressure fire nozzle
mounted on top of an armor
plated street cleaning truck
cannot shoot a better stream
of water than American mill
tary fire trucks IN Berlin.
The free world fire trucks,
however, we're not built for
riot control and cannot give
the crews the same protection
supplied to the Communists. A
determined rock and vegetable
counter attack might drive the
Western fine trucks from the
scene.
The free world has not been
left completely behind in wa
ter gun technology, however.
The Army pointed out that the
Italian police nave developed a
jeep-mounted, armored water
gun that shoots a red dye at
Red rioters. Something like
this, the Army said might be
used to close the water-gun
gap in Berlin,

RED GUARDS FIRE
WARNING SHOTS

BERLIN, Aug. 25 (AP).-
Communist guards fired warn
ing shots today to scare away
about 80 West Berliners who
had crowded to the barbed wire
barrier in the French sector to
watch Red activity on the other
side.
West Berlin police told of the
incident at Frohnau:
A Communist suddenly or
dered: GO back 100 meters
Q10 yards or we will shoot"
The crowd did not move.
Then came a warning rattle
of submachine gun fire.
Western police persuaded the
people then to pull back for
their own safety. The incident
was another in outbursts of
violence on both sides of the
border that kept tension and
tenlpers high in this 18th day
of the border war of nerves.
U. S. Gets Artillery
For the first time since 1946
the United States Army garrl-
son in Berlin has artillery sup
port-six 105mm howitzerS.
The howitzers have a range
of about 10000 yards. An Army
spokesman said they are fitted
to use only standard shells and
not atomic warheads. Tank
guns have been the biggest
armament of the garrison,
Swelled by reinforcements last
Sunday to $500 men.
The howitzerS were towed in
at that time by battery A of the
9th Infantry Divisions I'd
Howitzer Battalion, 18th Ar
tillery Regiment.
Our orders are to be able
to shoot, move and communi-
cate" said Sergt. John L.
Sanders of Amarillo, Tex.
Shooting at Refugees
There has been no shooting
from the West Berlin side of
the border since the crisis deep
ened. And from East Berlin all
the serious shooting has been
at refugees, not troops.
The guns are designed to be
towed wherever they are needed
and will not take up fixed
positions in Berlin. The garri-
son has been posting tanks as
well as infantrymen at the
border.

Changes Few
Instruction in Red
Strategy Accepted;
House Action Next

The bill to give permanent
status to President Kennedy's
Peace Corps passed the Senate
today without a record vote.
Leaders expect more opposi-
ton in the House, but predict
it will pass that branch also
before adjournment. The House
Foreign Affairs Committee will
not act on the legislation until
next week.
During two days OF debate
Senator Humphrey of Mime
sofa, handling the bill for the
Democrats, accepted several
limitations offered by Repub-
licans. But the administration
rolled up a majority of SO to
80 against the only major
amendment, by which Senator
Hickenlooper, Republican of
Iowa, tried to cut the first year
appropriation from $40 million
to $25 million.
Instruction Accepted
Senator Humphrey accepted
a last-minute proposal by
Senator Miller, Republican of
Iowa, to require that Peace
Corps workers be instructed in
the philosophy, strategy and
menace of communism before
they go overseas.
Republicans generally viewed
the Peace Corps as a worth
while experiment, but some of
them expressed skepticism over
its success.
Democratic speakers we're
enthusiastic in predicting its
success and in praising r.
Sargent Shriver, President
Kennedy's brother-in law, who
has been organizing the corps
under an executive order.
Senate Republican Leader
Oirksen also praised Mr.. Shriver
He said the program "can be an
incandescent success or a mon
umental failure" If it succeeds,
the Senator said. results will be
due to the dedicated work of
Mr., Shriver.
Senator Hickenlooper sup
ported the corps as an expert
ment but said he hoped Ameri-
cans will not delude themselves
into believing it will answer all
of the problems of human rela-
tions with other countries.
Sees Appeal to Youth
Senator Hickenlooper said the
idea will appeal to young people
because of the opportunity to
travel to exotic places and eat
exotic foods"
The bill contemplates enroll
ment of 2.700 volunteers during
the first year. Amendments
accepted by the Democrats in
the Senate would:
Make it clear that service in
the Peace Corps could not be
the sole basis for deferment
from military service.
Require the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee to study and
report on the operations of the
corps after two years.
Place a limit of 275 on the
staff of administrative en-
ployes and a limit of rs on the
number of volunteers who
could be assigned to interna-
tional organizations.
