BERLIN, Jan. 8 (AP) -
American military policemen
yesterday held up a busload of
Soviet army officers for rs
minutes at the West Berlin
border in a tense test of SCREEN
ing.
Clearance for the bus was
given only after the Russians
gave assurances that the Soviet
commandment and his top po-
litical adviser, who are taboo
in the United States sector,
were not aboard.
Col. Andrei Solovyev, the So
Wet commandment, and his chief
aide, 1t. Col. Georgi AlekSeev,
are banned in retaliation for
allowing East Germans to
haraSs United States officials
crossing into East Berlin.
Hating of the bus, carrying
l8 officers, marked the third
time in a week that Soviet mil
itary personnel have run into
United States roadblocks for
scrutinizing.
Reds Don't Protest
The Russians so far have
raised no protest.
The bus yesterday remained
IN West Berlin less than half
an hour and then went back
east with no indication of the
purpose of the trip. i
The unusually large number
of officers aboard led to Specu-
latlon the Russians might have
been seeking only to confuse or
embarrass the Americans at
Checkpoint Charlie on Fried
richstraSse.
Meantime, a United States
combat company stationed in d,
Berlin returned across the East
German autobahn without
hindrance after several days of
training in West Germany.
West Berlin Mayor Willy
Brandt commended in a radio
broadcast that the wall di-

Rusk amid reports he believed
the United States commander
in West Berlin, Maj. Gen. AL
bert Watson, II, should have
greater authority to handle
unexpected emergencies.
Gen. Clay met with Mr.. Rusk
saturday, and both men denied
any policy differences between
them over Berlin.
Review Called Useful
The statement read to report
ers by White House Press Sec
rotary Pierre Salinger after
yesterdays Kennedy-Clay meet
ing apparently sought to dispel
any idea of a deep rift within
the administration over the
handling OF any future emer-
gencieS in Berlin.
The statement by the Chief
Executive said:
Gen. Clay and have had a
most useful and satisfactory re-
view OF the current situation in
Berlin and Germany. I have
been very glad to get his report
OF the continuing staunchness
OF the people of West Berlin,
and we have talked at length
about the ways and means of
sustaining and strengthening
the life Of their great city in
the future as in the past.
1--WE have also reviewed the
general problem of effective
handling of possible crisis stu
atoms, and we have reached full
agreement on the policy to be
followed during these months.
This meeting is one more
way in which Mr.. Rusk, Gen.
Clay and I can keep in the
closest touch, and we continue
to be fortunate in having him
as the senior American in

Soviet Premier Khrushchev

Mr.. Erhard's comments
echoed a statement made TODAY
in Bonn by the government
press chief, Felix Won Eckardt,
who said Russia was trying to
lure West Germany into aban-
doning its allies and negoti-
ating separately.
He described the memoran-
dunn as containing no basically

an unusually mild and friendly
tone.
Text Goes Unpublished
Mr.. Won Eckardt gave his &C

Mr.. Won Eckard contrasted
the conciliatory memorandum
with the harsh propaganda at

No Fraud Cases
Are Suspected
In Holmes County

The Mississippi Department
of Public Welfare feels the
public may be interested in
knowing some of the safe
guards it uses in disbursing
tax money appropriated for
assistance purposes, according
to Mrs. Jean Strider Nc
Lellan, welfare agent of Hol-
mes County.
Mrs. Mcclellan said there has
never been any suggestion or
evidence of fraud in Holmes
County. However state Off
Gals feel safeguards taken in
setting up rules and regu-
lations governing action in
such cases should be known
by the people of Holmes
County as we'll as other coun-
ties throughout the state.
The special concern of some
of the public about improperly
granted public assistance calls
is a case in point. A def
milton of what constitutes
fraud and the action that will
be taken by the Welfare De-
partment in case fraud is sus-
pected is important, officials
believe.
Fraud is defined and the
penalty is set out in the state
statutes which authorize each
public assistance program -
