mands agree.
Compromise Seen
Reports early today from
Damascus had said a comprom-
Use was near to turn Syria back
toward close ties with the u.
A. r. and END the Aleppo re-
volt. These reports said former
President Shukri Kuwatly, one
of the leaders of Syria's orig
inal merger with Egypt in 1858,
and Rushdi Kikhya, a conserv-
ative Aleppo political leader,
were mediating between the
rebel officers and the junta.
The solution that then ap-
peared to be shaping up in
cluded:
Exile of half q dozen colonels
and majors who engineered the
coup March % against the par
liamentary regime of President
Nazem el Koudsi;
Formation of q new military
council to replace the high
command in Damascus;
Formation Of a new civil
government to negotiate new
links with the u. A. r.

StoA oNoAA "lANcA
State Department experts
meet this week to plan an
American position on the place
time and participants for the
next round of Russian-Ameri-
can talks on the Berlin crisis.
Assuming President Kennedy
approves, the plan then will be
taken to Britain, West Ger
many, France and, eventually,
to the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization Council in Paris
for comment.
Once the Western position is
"co-ordinated," an invitation
may be extended to. the Soviet
Union for the next round,
which could go Beyond a review
Of old positions and concen-
trate on a possible Interna-
tional Access Authority to su-
pervise the corridors across
East Germany to Berlin.
Officials emphasized there
have been no decisions on
when, where or by whom the
talks would be resumed.
Site Indefinite
While Washington seemed
the most logical site since the
last round was held in Moscow,
officials would not say this
was even likely. Soviet Foreign
Minister Gromyko's schedule
is less crowded than Secretary
of State Rusk's, officials said,
and this could affect both the
place and the level Of the new
negotiations.
Before the Geneva meetings
of Secretary Rusk and British
Foreign Secretary Lord Home
with Mr.. Gromyko last north,
a round Of Moscow meetings
had been held by Mr.. Gromyko
and Llewellyn pson,
American ambassador.
II the next round were held
in Washington, it would appear
logical for Mr.. Rusk to meet
with the new Soviet AmbaSSa-
dor, Anatoli F. Dobrynin. But
officials said Mr.. Rusk's special
assistant on Soviet Affairs,
Charles E. Bohlen, a former
ambassador to Moscow, might
represent the United States
instead.
Crisis Subsiding
In advance of this weeks
talks among the Western allies,
there is some feeling that the
crisis atmosphere of the Soviet
American negotiations on Ber-
lin has eaSed.
While. in theory the United
States and Russia are still on
a collision course over Berlin,
it is noted with satisfaction
here that the Soviet Union has
been the more eager to con-
tinue the talks Of late.
Red leaders also have a new
awareness Of important weak
nesses in their military posi-
ton. it is said, and this tends
to induce care on both sides.
Mr.. Dobrynin paid courtesy
calls on Mr.. Bohlen, Foy D.
Kohler, Assistant Secretary of
State for European Affairs,
and Averell Hartman, Assist
ant Secretary Of State for Far
Eastern Affairs.
He told reporters he had

President decided to use those
terms.
Prefers Shorter Term
He indicated he still prefers
a shorter term with a more
realistic rate Of interest be-
cause it would keep the U. N.
on its toes"
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield said he has heard
"inklings" of the change in the
situation on the Republican
side, but thinks the Senate
should 60 ahead and act on
the compromise.
Asked if some effort might
be made to find out what
terms the President plans to
accept. Senator Mansfield said,
mo, because the idea was to
give him flexibility and respon-
sibility."
Senator Tower, Republican
OF Texas, announced he is op-
posing the compromise because
it leaves "too much to the ar
bitrary will and discretion of
the President"
Senator Capehart of Indiana
summed up the attitude of the
Republicans who do not like
the compromise, when he said,
"it is not compromise at
all, but a blank check" to the
President.
Close Vote Unwanted
One Republican said support
erS of the U. N. are anxious
to avoid a close vote because
they fear the bill otherwise
would be 'in trouble" in the
House.
Before the. main issue is
decided, Senator Russell, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia is ex-
pected to present a substitute
that would scale down the
amount of financial aid and
also seek to give Congress a
veto over use of American arms
in any future U. N. operation.
Administration supporters be-
lieve they have the votes to
defeat the Russell proposal. In
fact, some Senators have ques-
toned the constitutionality of
the Russell amendment because
it attempts to restrict the
Presidents control over the
armed forces as Commander
in Chief. 4

10000 Allies
Stage Alert
In West Berlin

BERLIN, April 8 (AP)-Ten
thousand men of West Ber-
Inns allied garrisons rushed to
combat positions early today
Tor q test Of alertness.
The pre-dawn exercise
reused out most of the Ameri-
can, British and French SOL
diers in West Berlin. It was
the largest operational test un-
dertaken since the building of
the Berlin wall last August.
Three Am merican battle
groups, three battalions of
British infantry and q French
brigade, plus supporting tanks
and rmored cars rolled
through the streets.
The allies said the test was
designed to evaluate the mo-
bility Of the allied units and
their ability to react to vari-
GUS situations.
Breakfast in Field
American troops had break
fast in the field and returned
to their barracks nearly five
hours after being alerted. Brit.
tSh and French troops pulled
back earlier. after being de.
ployed for three hours.
While some of the Western
units were still in the field
MIG jet fighters of either the
Soviet or East German air
forces flew high overhead.
Long vapor trails could be
seen in the clear blue sky.
Sonic booms shook the center
OF the city as the jets smashed
through the sound barrier.
In another military activity,
the United States Army sent
a platoon of infantry rolling
along the autobahn lifeline to
West Germany. The Army said
that the platoon, from Com
pany A, Sd Battle Group, 9Th
Infantry, was going to the West
for a brief training period.
Demonstrate Rights
Such troop movements are
frequently made along the 10
miles Of highway across Com
East Germany to
demonstrate Western allied
rights to road access to Berlin.
Big Maneuvers by the East
German Army were concluded
at the beginning of the week,
the East German news agency
Adm reported today. The
agency said the exercise dis
played "the exemplary combat
and constant readiness
for action" Of the troops.

problems.
Mr.. Thompson, who returned
to Washington from the Ge-
neva talks with Mr.. Rusk. ap-
pears before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee
today.
Lincoln White, State De-
partment press officer, said
yesterday Mr.. Thompson "is
definitely returning to Mos
COW" probably next week. He
is definitely not resigning, {"
Mr.. White said, thus trying to
spike speculation that Jacob
Beam, former Ambassador to
Poland. would replace Mr..
Thompson.
Hoped to Retire
Mr.. Thompson reportedly
had hoped to retire by May to
take advantage of a higher
retirement allowance but in
stead he has accepted the
financial disadvantage to con-
tinue at his post, where he has
served for the past five years.
The United States first pro-
posed an International Access
Authority to oversee the corri-
doris to Russia before the
Geneva foreign ministers meet
ingS last month. The authority
was intended as a device to
limit Communist East Ger
many's authority over the
Vests access routes to Berlin.
During the Geneva meetings
Russia countered with a pro-
posal which retained the old
Communist demands for full
East German control of the
access routes.
There has been no forward
movement here whatsoever, I"
officials said yesterday. They
explained that the Soviet coun-
ter proposal would bring the
authority into play only after
trouble comes"
The American plan was ito
preclude trouble" by putting
access control into the hands
OF the authority. instead of
East Germany, from the be-
ginning.

intervened in the case to keep
the prayer in the schools, At
torney Porter r. Chandler of
New York. argued that elimi-
nation of the prayer would
deprive their children of the
right to share in a national
heritage.
The intervening parents, he
said, include three Jewish par
ents, seven Protestant parents,
five Catholic parents and one
Of no religious affiliation.
Since the case started through
the courts, he said, the number
Of school children represented
by these parents has grown
from 81 to Al.
Regents Developed Prayer
The prayer was developed by
the New York State Board of
Regents and adopted. in this
case, by the Herrick School
District. Bertram B. Oaiker of
Port Washington. N. Y, rep
resenting the Herrick School
Board, argued that the words
Of the prayer were taken from
what appears in most State
constitutions.
He told the court that l9
State attorneys general have
filed briefs, in addition tn New
York, saying that they do not
believe the prayer violates the
Constitution.
Mr.. Butler relied heavily on
the Supreme Court decision in
the earlier McCollum case.
which invalidated a release
time system under which pupils
with parental permission were
given periods Of religious in
struction on public school
premises.
Mr.. Butler contended that
this case is even stronger than
the McCollum case because
teachers participate by leading
the prayer or choosing a stu
dent to do so. He made it clear
that he contended that the
prayer amounted to teaching
of religion in a public institu-
ton. He said the reason why
the prayer was said in the
schools was to teach children
belief in God
Harlan Asks Questions
"Is that a bad thing?" JUS
tice Harlan asked.
II say that prayer is good"
Mr.. Butler replied, but it is the
beginning of the end Of reli-
gious freedom when prayers
like this are incorporated in
the public schools"
Justice Harlan wanted to
know if a 10-minute period of
Bible reading would be uncon-
stitutional. The attorney asked
him which version.
When Justice Harlan, look
ing startled, said the King
James Version, the attorney
said that would be unconstitu-
tional as an attempt to impose
a version of the Bible which
some religious groups do not
accept.
Justice Frankfurter asked if
q five-minute silence for pur-
poses of meditation would be
unconstitutional. Mr.. Butler
replied that he did not see any
argument for its unconstitu-
tionality, but he would have
to give it more thought. !

PRAYER
School Devotions
. Opposed in Court

Justice Douglas, a world
traveller, raised the possibility
of a prayer from the Koran or
from Buddhism.
Mr.. Butler replied that the
iStic religion is only one kind
of religion and some religious
don't have a God. If it was
the purpose of the State TO
use any religion in a prayer,
he contended it would be un-
constitutional.
Justice Harlan wanted to
know the reaction to a proposal
to use a school period after
the salute to the flag for each
child to affirm his own belief
and for the atheists to avow
their disbelief.
Mr.. Butler replied that in the
McCollum case the use of pub
lie schools to aid all religions
was declared unconstitutional.
He also argued that while
the New York courts have speci-
fled that the prayer must be
voluntary. no parent would
want his child singled out as a
non-conformiSt. so the chill
dren are coerced into the
prayer.
Justice Stewart noted that
the Pledge of Allegiance to the
flag refers to "one Nation, un-
der God" and he wanted to
know whether the protesting
parents had any objection to
that.
Mr.. Butler replied that the
pledge is an affirmation Of po-
litical faith in the country
while the prayer is an act Of
religious faith.
Court Words Cited
Justice Brennan, noting that
the Supreme Court itself opens
with the marshal saying God
save this honorable court"
asked if Mr.. Butler would have
any objections if the salute to
the flag in the schools was con-
cluded by saying, God save
the United States and this
school"
Mr.. Butler responded that If
the purpose of those words was
the teaching OF religion, it
would be a constitutionally
banned religious practice.
Mr.. Daiker declared that the
Herrick School District was not
trying to teach religion, but
was only recognizing that there
is a Supreme Being in accord
ance with American tradition.
"The Declaration of Inde-
pendence has four references
to the Creator" Mr.. Daiken
said. I'VE can't rewrite history
now"
Chief Justice Warren, who
had listened silently through
Mr.. Buffers presentation, asked
Mr.. Daiker the reason for the
prayer.
Mr.. Daiker replied that
basically the Board Of Regents
was interested in promoting be-
lief in our traditions.
The Chief Justice asked
why do you shy away from
religion?"
Il don't want the Court toI
read my words as saying the
Board of Regents wanted tc
teach religion" Mr.. Daiker re-
piled. !
II know you want to keep
away from that" the Chief |
Justice retorted.
