East Germany Tries
70 Halt Refugees
PoIioIsCited
With Travel
Ban Likely

BERLIN, aug. / (AFJ-.1nS
East German Communists to-
day mounted a campaign to
halt the westward flow of refu-
gees, threatening to restrict
travel and prevent their dwin-
ding rnAnpower supply from
disappearing through the es-
cape hatch of West Berlin.
The Reds claimed West Ger
many is suffering a polio epi-
demic and said citizens in the
East must be protected from
the disease. West German
health officials denied there
was an epidemic.
Pressure was also put on the
10000 East Berliners who work
in the Western sectors of the
city to give up their jobs and go
to work in Communist territory.
These and other moves ap-
.peared part of a concerted
campaign to stem the refugee
flow new approaching record
proportions. Last month 30.444
refugees registered at Western
reception centers and another
5000 to 5000 came through
without registering.
Workers Warned
East Berliners report that
signs have been going up at
a p a TT m emit house entrances
giving the names of people who
work in West Berlin. The intent
is to single them out and get
their neighbors to argue with
them.
Some have also been called
to police stations and told to
look for jobs in East Berlin. At
least one East Berliner was told
he had four weeks to quit his
job in the West.
1t was reported that Commu-
mist police seized the identity
card of another East Berliner
who refused to give up his West
Berlin job. Without an identity
car, travellers in and around
Berlin are Subject to continual
harassment by West Berlin as
we'll as East Berlin police.
Neues Deutschland, the Of
fetal Communist Party daily,
carried readers letters on its
front page bitterly criticizing
"border-crossers," In Commu-
mist countries. s1ch letters Of
ten herld official action.
Problem Called urgent"
Friedrich Ebert, mayor of
Communist East Berlin, wrote
Mayor Willy Brandt of West
Berlin, saying it is growing
more urgent all the time" to
settle the problem of those who
live in East Berlin and work in
the West. He renewed a pro-
posal for a joint committee to
tackle the question.
Western officials take the
stand that this problem-like
the whole Berlin problems
created by the Communists.
There have been no reports of
the border-crossers complaining
about their situation.
The polio scare was labeled
an artificial difficulty" by DR..
Georg Henneberg, acting head
of the West German federal
health office. He pointed out
that the Communists claim 80
per cent of East Germans be-
tween the ages of 8 months
and 40 years received doses
or oral antipolio vaccine in
May, and that should have
given them immunity by now.
The East German news
agency Adm said the Red re-
gime's Health Ministry asked
the Interior Ministry to take
steps sin regard to travel be-
tween West Germany and the
German Democratic Republic
that will produce the best pro-
lection for the citizenry."

However, we are not going

The question of outside work
by District employees was spot
lighted when C. T. Nottingham,
District superintendent of the
permit and licenses division,
disclosed last week that in adj
dition to his $4,000 = a year
District salary he receives
about $4,000 annually in out
side income. A portion of Mr..
Nottingham's additional i'm
come comes from his position
as a vice president of Guard
ian Federal Savings & Loan
Association.
Income ScrutiniZed
Mr.. Nottingham's $25, 000-a-
year income had come under
scrutiny in connection with his
personal transactions with Dis
trict car dealers.
Mr.. Nottingham had used a
subordinate, Conrad N. Car
dano, licensing enforcement
officer, as a middleman in SELL
ing one Of Mr.. Nottingham's
cars. Mr.. Cardano has been
accused of accepting bribes,' but
has denied this.
MFR. Nottingham, who has
been working for the District
Government for 80 years, has
explained that he receives his
$13,000-a-year additional in
come from real estate invest
ments, real estate finders fees
and his position as an official
Of the savings and loan asso-
citation.
Director of Association
Mr.. Nottingham is q director
as well as vice president Of

at 8711 Georgia avenue, Silver

gram. Poss Al
Kennedy requested last week
for a build-up of conventional
forces, plus a fund Of $525 mill
lion which was not asked for to
build more long-range bombers
Allowing for other adjust
ments, the bill as a whole is
$451.3 million above the budget
estimates and $6.5 billion more
than was appropriated las,
year.
Senator Robertson, Democrat
of Virginia, handling the bill
for the first time, called it q
well-balanced program fol
strengthening both the con-
ventional and nuclear weapons
systems.
Missiles Uncertain
Senator Robertson said the
Senate committee provided
funds to continue the produc-
ton of missiles, but increased
the amount for long-range
bombers because Eve felt we
were not at a point where we
could place full reliance on
the missiles"
The amount in this bill
equals all that was spent from
the first term of President
Washington through World
War I, to November of 1918
Senator Robertson said.
The Virginia Democrat said
he would ask the Senate tc
take up the bill Thursday, but
if anyone objects 1t would have
to go over until Saturday. A
Senate rule requires three days
of notice on an appropriation
bill, which may be waived by
unanimous consent.
Restrictions Rewritten
The full committee made nc
changes in the amounts rec
commended last week by the
defense subcommittee, but re-
vised restrictions written into
the bill.
One change limits the
authority to transfer money
from one item to another to :
per cent and provides that nc
one item can be increased more
than 6 per cent by such q
transfer.
The administration had re-
quested a ceiling of per cent
on transfers and, the SUBJ
committee had recommended
26 per cent.
If the President finds it
necessary to increase the size
Iof the armed forces above the
number covered by this bill, the
committee gave him authority
to waive the anti-deficit law
which means he could transfer
money from other functions tc
pay for the additional men.
The Senators accepted the
judgement of Gen. Curtis E
LeMay. chief of the Air Force
over that of other defense
officials, on the manned
bomber program.
Money for Bomber
The Senate bill earmarks
SAB million already approved
by the House to be used to speed
up research and development
of the supersonic BIO bomber
The Senators then added the
new item of $525 million to
build more long-range bombers,
which could be either B-52s or
B-58s. This action was exactly
what Gen. LeMay recommended
in his testimony.
The breakdown of the bill by
services follows:
Army, $11.8 billion, an in
crease of SIS billion over the
House.
Navy, $14.5 billion, an in

Gxcava6nR

Burr Funeral Home, at 1l6
South St, Chardon, has been serv-
ing Geauga County since 1898,

niture and undertaking business.
The funeral home is a member
of the National Funeral Directors
Association.
Mr.. Thrasher retired from the
partnership and Mr.. Burr and
Walter Wood bought the Bickle
business, and moved into his store
in Memorial Block in 1903. A year
later, Fleet Smith, having passed
the State board of EmbalmerS eX-
animation, joined the firm.
In 1926, the firm moved to a
new brick building of their own on
Water St, the present site of
Burr and Smith furniture store.
The funeral home moved to its
present location, a large stone
house at 1l6 South st, Chardon.

Between Phil King, my ia
ther, Hal Burr, and myself, we
have SO years total experience in
this service" Marc Burr said.
Actually, the Burr family has

This was before established fu-
neral homes were in existence.
The funeral would be conducted
at the persons home, and John
Burr was simply called upon to
make the arrangements, and han
die the funeral.
THE list of the services will
vary with every family's need. -
Mare Burr explained. 1--WE have
had conducted funerals for all
faiths, and all lodges. We can ar
range the cemetery lot, contact
the minister. We will send tele-
grams and call relatives and
friends in other communities. We
can contact any funeral home in
the United States Canada, MeXi-
co, and Europe"
Burr and Smith was the first
funeral home in Geauga County.
1t is the oldest firm in the coun-
ty, and is one of the two fu-
neral homes in the county that
owns all its own equipment.
