Jet Runwoy Built
By Berlin Reds

BERLIN, July 20 (AP). =
Communist East German au-
thorities announced today the
building of a new runway for
jet planes at Schoenefeld Air
field-the terminal to which
they want to divert West Ber-
Inns air traffic.
Schoenefeld lies just outside
East Berlin.
The announcement said the
runway is $3.50 yards long -
well over 2 miles-and is now
being used by 100-passenger
Russian TU-104s.
West Berlin's longest runway
is at Tegel Airport-2,660 yards.
Any person leaving West
Berlin. surrounded by Commu-
mist territory, is subject to
Communist police or military
checks unless he goes by air
Refugees from the Communists
have to be flown out of the
city.
The East Germans take the
position that after they get a
peace treaty with Soviet Rus
sia-Premier Khrushchev has
promised it for this year-they
will control air traffic into and
out of Berlin. If they can do
this, West Berlin will become
much less attractive to refugees

Ranger |
Space Shot
Postponed

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
July 90 (AP).-Technical diff
ficulties today forced postpone
ment of an attempt to launch
a satellite from which a second
payload was to be fired deep
into space.
The attempt was to have
been the first by the United
States to use an orbiting satel-
lite as a launching platform
in space. The main purpose of
the experiment was to hurl a
package called Ranger I into a
wide-Swinging earth orbit to
test the technique for launch
ing future moon and inter-
planetary probes.
The Atlas Agena booster
was to have been launched in
a 44-minute period. The count
down had moved to within 25
minutes Of launch when an
electrical power failure occurred
in a transformer subStation on
the ground.
When it could not be cor
rected in time, the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration called off the effort.
No new launch date was set.
If the trouble is minor, an
other try could be made in a
day or two.
The plan called for the en-
tire Agena second stage to
whirl into an orbit about 100
miles high. When it reached
a predetermined point, the
Agena engine was to re-ignite
and a spring device fling the
675-pound Ranger I into space.
If successful, Ranger would
swing into an elliptical orbit
which would carry it 100000
miles out and as close as 37,-
500 miles to earth on it's re-
turn trip.

u. ). Not Sure
Reds Abide
By Test Ban

GENEVA. July 20 (AP).-The
United States told the three
power nuclear test ban confer
ence yesterday it is not sure the
Soviet is refraining from con-
ducting nuclear tests.
United States Delegate e
Charles Stelle cited reports in
the Soviet press of hugh
underground explosion in a
mountain in the Caucasus,
ostensibly for industrial pur-
poses.
But how can we know
whether it was chemical or a
nuclear explosion?" Mr.. Stelle
asked. He made no threat to
break off the negotiations, now
SO months old.
Mr.. Steele made it plain,
however, that the United States
is becoming increasingly con-
cerned because it has no guar
antee that the Russians are
voluntarily observing a ban on
nuclear explosions.
Mr.. Steele said the world
knows that the United States
and Britain have refrained
from testing since the three
power negotiations began on
October 81, 1858.
But people do not know
what has been going on in the
millions of square miles in the
far reaches of the Soviet
Union" he declared.
The Soviet Union contends
it is observing the agreement.
The two Western powers feel
an unSupervised agreement is
a poor substitute for a treaty
containing international in
ispection and control provisions.
The Soviet Union has refused
to accept the type Of controls
the Western powers regard as
adequate.
Recently there has been in
creasing agitation in the United
States for President Kennedy's
administration to resume test
ing and break off the marathon
Geneva negotiations.

bill offers the first opportunity
for a drive to offset an increase
of more than S. billion in de-
fense spending by cutting do
mestic programs.
1t comes on the eve of a rec
ord-breaking defense budget OF
more than SAT billion which is
due to reach the Senate floor
next week, amended to carry
out the Presidents call for ex-
pansion of conventional armed
| forces.
The Senate paved the way for
this big money bill by passing
unanimously yesterday two
measures the President asked
for to let him call up 25O,O0O
reservists and authorize $958.5
million more to build aircraft
ships and missiles. The House
is expected to complete action
on these bills next week.
Senator Proxmire, Democrat
of Wisconsin, also was prepared
to move for cuts of $3.50 mil
lion from domestic spending
items today because they rep
resent increases in the Presi-
dents budget.
In voting on the defense
budget late yesterday an Ap-
preparations sub C o m m it t e e
headed by Senator Robertson,
Democrat of Virginia, gave Mr..
Kennedy not only the $3.4 bill
lion of additional money he
recommended a few days ago,
but about 81 billion he did not
request. mainly for more long
range bombers.
The action reflected a feel
ing in Congress that manned
bombers will remain the back
bone of military power until
long range missiles reach a
higher stage of development.
Senator Robertson holds this
view.
House Passed Versions
Before the Berlin crisis
prompted the administration
to take another look at mill
tary strength, the House had
already passed a $42.7 billion
defense budget.
The House version included
bomber funds of S448 million
which the administration in
dicated it did not want. The
Senate subcommittee is reliab-
ly reported to have kept this
money in and added $525 mil
lion, but it will not make public

2. A call for talks from the
West might be misinterpreted
in Moscow as a weakness.
3. The longer Mr.. Khrushchev
is kept waiting, the more likely
he is to offer acceptable pro-
posals. He needs at last some
face-saving agreement with the
West by October to demon
strate to the Communist Party
congress in Moscow at that
time that his ideas of peaceful
co-existence" pay off and Com
munist advances can be made
without war.

These are the arguments in
favor of an invitation from the
West:
l. No matter whose move it
is technically, Mr.. KhruShchev
has started on a dangerous
course. Every step should be
taken to stop him-diplomatic
as we'll as military.
2. 1t would win support for
the West among neutral and
uncommitted nations to make a
positive move for negotiations.

shchev's hand is a dangerous
bit of craftsmanship that might
prompt him into something
rash.

In East Berlin, meanwhile,
five East Germans went on

from East Germany yesterday
-25 per cent more than last

300 are believed to have come

Allies Criticized
A furry of debate over
whether the other NATO allies
are doing their share in pre-
pairing to meet a Berlin crisis
marked Senate passage of the
two Kennedy defense bills yes
terday.
Senators Ellender of Louisi-
ana and Stennis of Mississippi,
both Democrats, took the lead
in suggesting that the other
NATO powers are not keeping
up with the United States in
buttressing Western defenses.
IF they don't see the danger
and we do, then somebody is
wrong" Senator Ellender said.
Senator Stennis said Ger
bany, Belgium and Denmark
have conscription for only one
year. He said England ended
conscription in 1860 and will
release all conscripts by the
end of 1862.
Senator Russell, Democrat
of Georgia, who steered both
bills through the Senate as
chairman of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee. agreed that
