Berlin or West Germany which
would provide an opportunity
to talk 1t over and consolidate
its gains behind the Iron Cur
tain.
The Kennedy administration
had hoped the President lifted
these fears from Mr.. Adenauer's
mind in their Washington talks
last November. But Bonn re-
portedly is now worried over
the possibility of new Commu-
mist moves in Berlin or in the
corridors from West Germany
to it.
Recent incidents along the
East Berlin border have shown
it takes days for the West to
react Communist acts. This
could be long enough for a de-
termined Communist thrust to
make real gains before the
West provided local command
ers with authorization to re-
sist, diplomatic sources fear.
Mayor Willy Brandt of West
Berlin is said to share Gen.
Clay's concern about local au-
thority.
Both men are said to be wor-
ried, too. about the United
States approach to negotia-
tions with the Russians.
If the West can get a real
improvement in access arrange
ments to West Berlin, for
instance an international high
way from West Germany guar
anteeing viability of the city,
freedom of it's citizens, and a
continued presence of Western
protective forces, the Kennedy
administration feels the legal
status of West Berlin is not
quite so important.
Gen. Clay and Mayor Brandt
repeatedly oppose any loosen
ing of ties between West Ber-
lin and West Germany. West
Berlin is already in danger of
whitening on the vine" be-
cause of the Vests slow reac-
tion to the East Berlin wall,
they are said to feel.
A source close to the Presi-
dent took exception today to
one point in yesterdays story
in The Star reporting Gen.
Clay's concern over restraints
being put by Washington on
the freedom of action of the
Berlin commander.
This informant said that

Cannon Vows He'll Cut
New Kennedy Budget

Mr.. Cannon said he would

where he is going and what
must be done"

Il believe he has the con-
fidence Of the people," Mr..
Cannon added.
Mr.. Cannon said he would
seek the support Of Represent
ative Mccormack, Democrat Of
Massachusetts,, in a renewed
drive to curb deficit and back
door spending" which permits
agencies to draw on the Treas
ury without a direct appro-
priation. Mr.. Mccormack is
expected to succeed the late
Sam Rayburn as Speaker.
This back-door spending
and spending money we don't
have is what is getting us into
financial trouble" Mr.. Can
non said. The only way we
can get back to fiscal sanity
is to require direct appropria-
tions to finance Government
programs. Every year we pass
bills which require future
spending, and no one seems
to care about the eventual
cost. No one even complains"

year to block back door

backing of House leaders. His

Cormack might decide to set
up.
Even if such a committee
turned out to have little real
power or influence" a DSG
spokesman said, lit could have
value as a proving ground,
especially for on-coming ag-
greSsive Democrats in the
House. 1t could help develop
future leaders by giving men,

United States officials have
made no secret Of a possible
precedent for future action
against Castro Cuba. And the
group of Latin rations opposed
to drastic actions against Cuba
have scarcely bothered to hide
their suspicious.
Observers in the OAS yester-
day noted that the Brazilian
and Mexican delegates - and
others - hastened to couple
their praise for Dominican de-
velopment with denials that the
OAS sanctions rad in any way
violated the sacred principles of
"self = determination and nom
intervention"
While not ignoring this warn
ing, officials in the Kennedy
administration are now more
concerned with launching an

This was interpreted in some

At the same time, it was re-

any move would be made to

Mr.. Bolling's main supporters
conceded today that he would
have been swamped in a eau

probably would have received
fewer than 80 of the 260 votes.
They claimed, however, that he
would have made d much bet
ter showing if he had begun
campaigning as promptly and
actively as Mr.. Albert did. They
said several DSG members who
ordinarily would have voted for
him had pledged their votes to
Mr.. Albert before Mr.. Boiling
announced his candidacy.
They agreed with Mr.. Boil
ings news conference comment
that a variety of factors" fig
ured in his defeat.
These factors, in the opinion
of those Boiling aides, included
not only the opposition of
Representative Smith of Vir-
ginia. leader Of the Southern
Democratic conservatives, but
also opposition by many big
city Democratic delegations
Other factors, according to this
analysis, included opposition by
the American Medical Associa-
ton which disliked his pro-
nounced advocacy of Federal
financed medical care for the
aged, and by veteran House
Democrats including a few
liberals and a larger number
of moderates who believed the

Cuba Pub|icist
Is Arraigned
BY the Associated Press

The Cuban news agency
Presna Latina and its chief
American correspondent, Fran
cisco v. Portela. pleaded not
guilty today to charges Of vio-
lating the Foreign Agents Reg
istration Act.
The news service and Mr..
Portela, So, were indicted De-
cember 8 by a Federal grand
jury in the District. They were
accused of failing to register
under the act.
Trial Set for April
A Justice Department spokes-
man said Mr.. Portela posted a
$4,000 cash bond at his ar
raignment. Trial was set for
April 80.
Prensa Latina was described
by the Government as being
subsidized and directed by the
Fidel Castro regime in Cuba
1t has operated in this country
since about June, 1859, the in
dictment said.
1t added that the agency
gathers and disSeminates news
"in accordance with the views
of, and in light favorable to-
the Communist oriented re-
gime.
In a statement at the time
of the indictment, Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy said
the action had nothing to do
with the way the agency deals
with news. He said the only
thing involved was the legal
requirement that United States
agents of foreign principals
register their affiliation, wheth-
er Communist or not.
Prensa Latina has about 20
employees in it's New York head
quarters and maintains a Wash
ington correspondent.
Mr.. Portela, a native of Cuba,
has been a naturalized Ameri-
can since 1945.
Conviction under the charges
carries a maximum penalty Of
a $4,000 fine and five years
in prison.

House Democratic liberals ex-
pressed a belief today that the

Dem ocratic Study Group

win an initial battle for such
a committee. They reported
they were very close" to get
ting the necessary so sigma
lures on a petition they began
circulating last month. This
would call for Democratic eau
Gus consideration of a plan for
creation of a strong committee

Speaker and Majority Leader.
Defeat of Plan Predicted
However, influential House
Democrats close to Represen-
tatives Mccormack and Albert,
slated to be chosen Speaker
and Majority Leader at cau-
cuses next week, predicted that
the liberal DSG would lose the
war.
They said they saw little
chance that a majority of the
caucus membership would ap-
prove any proposal whereby a
steering committee or it's chair
man would have to be elected
by the caucus and take a de-
cisive role in policy consulta-
tionS.

Manager Mickey Vernon de-
Tended his selection of pinch
hitters in yesterdays second
game with the Yankees when
press box inquisitors asked why
Joe Hicks was used with Gene
Woodling, Dale Long and Jim
King on the bench.
The situation found the
Yanks leading, 9-6, in the bot
tom of the sixth. The Sena-
tors had scored three runs on
homers by John Schaive and
Bob Schmidt, and Chuck Cot
tier was on second with one
out.
Hicks struck out. Jim Coates,
a highlander, was pitching for
the Yankees in relief of South
paw Bud Daley.
Vernon said he figured that
Hicks, a line-drive hitter, was
the best bet to perpetuate the
rally, and that decision still
left him the others for the long
ball. He sent Woodling in to
bat for Jim PierSall with two
out. after Chuck Hinton walked.
Woodling sliced a drive to left
that for a moment looked like
a two-run double, but Yogi
Berra caught it.
He used King as a pinch
hitter in the ninth, and King
struck out. Long was idle
through both games, but his
replacement. Harry Bright, had
two home runs and two singles.
Vernon also had sound rea-
sons for not taking out Joe
McClain during the Yankees
six-run fourth inning.
He thought McClain had
pretty good stuff, and he point
ed out that his relief pitchers
had been clobbered in recent
