Red Firing on U. S. Car
Soft-PedoIed by Army

BERLIN, Sept. Z (AP).-
American authorities today
soft-pedaled the Soviet firing
on q United States Army sedan
in East Germany.
Soviet soldiers fired about 40
shots at a United States car
that got too close to a Red
military train Tuesday. Only
one shot hit the car, and no
one was hurt.
United States officers con-
cealed the affair until it leaked
out last night. The Army in
Germany still had issued no
official information today, al
though the State Department
released a sketchy account in
Washington.
Army spokesmen said they
could not confirm reports that
Col. Ernest Won Pawel, head
Of the United States liaison
mission with the Soviet forces
in East Germany, would make
a protest to Gen. Ivan Yakubov-
sky. the Soviet commander in
East Germany.
Such a protest would be nor
NAL. Failure to make 1t might
indicate that the United States
car had been acting in a way
that gave the Soviets some
excuse to fire on it.
The car was an olive-drah
sedan of the liaison mission sta
toned at Potsdam, q suburb in
East Germany southwest OF
Berlin. Two United States
officers in it we're touring near
by areas Of East Germany.
A well-informed source said
the two officers encountered q
Soviet train at a grade crossing

Although the source admitted
the officers had been observing
the train, he insisted they were

Smaller Freewuy

Opposition to the condemna-
ton of the 300 block of South

voiced at the Capitol Hill
Southeast Citizens Association
meeting last night.
Members requested a study
by the District government to
determine whether a Southeast
freeway of reduced size could
be built within the present
Virginia avenue right-of-way.
Legislation to enable the de-
tention of disturbed persons
found guilty of crime but not
eligible for mental hospitaliza-
ton or Imprisonment was
urged. Members seemed to
favor what one termed "an
old time asylum"

Showing signs of adjourn

ably will pass the private pen
sion bill for the self-employed
today, after having approved
the general tax revision bill
yesterday.
But it is expected to take the

works program, extension OF
emergency unemployment bene-
fits, postal rate increases
coupled with a Federal pay
raise and half a dozen other

Mr.. Kennedy originally re-

immediate public works prof.

thority to launch further pro-
grams of that kind if neces-
sary to relieve unemployment
or meet any economic recession.
The House bill fell consider
ably short of his recommended

million for immediate public
works and standby authority
to spend 50 billion on public
works in the event of an eco
nomic emergency.

FREIGHT Rate Bill

The Interstate Commerce
Commission fired a new blast
at provisions in an adminiStra-

of tbs authority to regulate
minimum freight rates.
Rupert L. Murphy, chairman
of the ICC, told the Senate
Commerce Committee yester-

ruinous rate wars for which
shippers and communities
served by the various freight
carriers ultimately would pay
the bill.
He had taken the same po-

The bill was requested by
President Kennedy who said in

would reduce Federal regulation
