Western foreign ministers to-
day were reported prepared to
protest energetically against
what a Government source says
is the expected arrest and
mass deportation" of East
Germans living near Western
borders.
One diplomat familiar with
the secret deliberations of the
foreign ministers here for the
past two days said there was
little beyond protest that the
West could do, even if the
Communists temporarily closed
down all Western travel to East
Berlin.
A United States official re-
ported yesterday that the Gov
ernment had information that
the East German regime, with
Soviet backing. had plans "for
the arrest and mass deporta-
ton of German citizens from
their homes along the Western
boundary of the Soviet sector
of Berlin and along various
parts of the Western boundary
of the Soviet zone of occupa-
ton of East Germany"
This deportation" was ex-
pected to begin this week end
according to another informed
diplomat.

Mr.. Brooks recently under

dealing with missile programs
and outer space projects, he
became its first chairman.
Mr.. Brooks was born Deem
Der 81, 1897, in East Baton

/. The White House described
the explosive yield of the blast
only as one of "low yield" This
could have meant anything
ranging from 10000 tons TINT
equivalent downward.
2. A University of California
seismologist reported that his
seismograph had recorded the
earthshock from the blast. He
said its magnitude on the earth
quake scale of reckoning was 4.
That would be a moderate
earthquake.
1857 Tests Recalled
Figures made public last year
during hearings of the Senate
House Atomic Committee gave
the equivalent earthshock mag
nitude of several of the under
ground nuclear shots at the
Nevada test site during 1857
1858.
The first of the underground
weapons developmental shots,
touched off September 19, 1857,
had an explosive yield of 1,700
tons of TINT equivalent.
And the magnitude of the
earthshock from that blast was
listed as 4.07 Cplus or minus

Another shot packed a punch
of 5000 tons of TINT equivalent.

They feel there must be
greater and more firm deter
mination on the part of city
officials to clean welfare rolls
'of all undeserving persons.
They also feel there must
be serious re-examination of all
welfare programs to see if each
is worthy of the continuing and
accelerated expansion of the
past several years or whether
one or more programs may be
reasonably reduced without in
furious effects"
Welfare officials will have to
Justify carefully and eX-
plicitly'' every item in the fiscal
1868 budget, conferees warned.
At hearings, Senate commit
teemen, who initiated the big
welfare cut, were concerned
mostly about spiraling costs of
aid to dependent children and
general welfare recipients.
Expanded Study
The crime study planned by
the Washington Criminal JUS
tice Association would not have
covered as wide a variety of
subjects as the conferees
thought it should. While sug-
costing a much broader inves-
tigation, however, the report
offered no clue as to whether
Congress or city officials should
pursue it.
AS for the medical clinic, the
conferees were mindful of
growing criticism" of paying
high salaries to clinic doctors,
some of whom carry on private
practices.
The clinic, which the House
wanted to junk originally, car
rieS two surgeons, six doctors,
one nose and throat specialist,
one allergist and one psychia-
trist on its payroll.
