The bill, which became law

be given District relief clients
who move to a State with the
reciprocal agreement.
Welfare officials now have q

The Senate first passed a re-

A trio of Soviet instrument

From this position it was be-

the United States mustered
about 10000 reservists. Pres

Mr.. Khrushchev has been de-

abandon their occupation role.
In recent months he has
stepped up his threat to sign
a separate peace treaty with
East Germany and turn over
full control of Western access
routes to Berlin to the East
Germans.
Rights at Issue
The signing of a Soviet-East
German peace treaty would
not, in itself, be a cause for
war, United States officials
agree. But they say any at
tempt to interfere with West
ern rights would be met by all
available means, including nu-
clear arms, If necessary, and
that this point was made to
Moscow several times.
These Western rights include
civilian access to West Berlin.
Mr.. Rusk and Mr.. Schroeder
agree. The United States and
its allies pledged to maintain
the city's viability, and this
includes the free access of
civilians, officials stressed.
Meanwhile. high ranking
United States officials and the
State Departments official
spokesman brushed aside re-
ports from the United Nations

the West would make conceS-
sions in Berlin for Soviet con-
cesSions on Cuba.
The possibility Of such a
barter was never mentioned by

nor was it ever mentioned by
any other Soviet diplomat.
