The vice dean Of the diplo-

sailors is leaving Washington
the first of the year.
Peruvian Ambassador Fer
nando Berckemeyer, here since
1949, offered his resignation to
Peru's new President Belaunde
Terry after Mr.. Relaunde's
July % election. This is stand
ara procedure when there is a
change in regime.
At that time, the resignation
was not accepted. Mrs. Bercke-

In accepting it, the Presi-

Retired Admiral Arleigh A.
Burke, former Chief of Naval
Operations, told Congress to-
day he had sometimes held
back his views because of the
uncertainty of reappointment.
He gave no specific in
stances but said they involved
minor matters.
Soon after hearing Admiral
Burke, a House Armed Services
subcommittee approved by a
9-to-4 vote a bill that would
set a flat four-year term for
members of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. The approval came in a
closed session that followed
Admiral Burke's public testi-
mony.

The resignation came about
a month after the Justice De-

was no conflict of interest in

the Tx award.
The departments view was
expressed in a September 9
reply to a letter of inquiry by
Representative Stinson, Repub-

Mr.. Stinson's letter referred
to certain statutes and in its
reply the Justice Department
said:
THE delay in responding to

casioned by the fact that the

pressing a view, to review care
fully the available information
The department has now done
so and has determined there
was no violation of the statute
by Secretary Korth."
The department, it was
learned, reviewed the tran

suited about the matter.

light fever during the night
He will spend today at the
Allen-Byrd home where he is
staying in Williamsburg.
1T is not expected that he
will remain in the house any
longer than necessary, as the
fever was very slight and il
went down somewhat early
this morning." the spokesman
said.
In Washington the White
House said President Kennedy
was informed of Marshal Tito's
illness at $3.50 am. and sent
him a get-well telegram.
Temperature Abates
The White House offered the
services of a doctor but was
informed this would not be
necessary since Marshal Tito'S
personal physicians are with
him.
United States officials with
the Tito party said in Will
liamsburg that Marshal Tito's
temperature during the night
was as high as 1902 de-
grees, but by midmorning had
dropped to SO.
They said he was being at
tended by two personal Yugo-
slav physicians, Col. Stipe
Radovanovic and DR.. Bogdan
Brecelj.
The Yugoslav leader was
resting comfortably, and if his
temperature does not rise
there is a good chance" he
will leave tomorrow for Cali
fornia, they said.
Apparently, Marshal Tito was
exhausted from the hectic
month-long tour of Brazil,
Bolivia, Chile and Mexico
which preceded his American
visit. The State Department
suggested he stay in Williams
burg, partly to allow him time
to rest up.
Pleased by Visit Here
Marshal Tito'S illness came
a day after a White House re-
ception which was highly pleas

Aides said last night that
Marshal Tito viewed the talks
with President Kennedy as
very satisfactory. They said
he appreciated the full mil
itary honors and the state
luncheon given him-the first

in Washington during the
Kennedy administration.

Hume is expected to relin-
quish his title promptly and

Mr.. Butler leads the liberal
wing of the Conservative Party.
His supporters felt he gave the
party a more modern image
that was needed for the diff
ficult struggle with the resur-
gent Labor Party in the next
general election, to be held by
the fall of 1864.
Lord Home himself has kept
clear Of the power struggle
over the last few days. Friends
even said he was reluctant to
shed his title in order to take

he drove to Buckingham Pal

The surprise resignation of
Fred Korth as Secretary of the
Navy last Monday was at the
administrations request, &C
cording to reports on Capitol
Hill today.
Administration sources re-
fused to confirm the reports.
A Defense Department
spokesman said the depart
ment had no comment beyond
the exchange of cordial letters
between the President and Mr..
Korch when the resignation
was announced at the White
House.
Mystery surrounded the rea-
sons for the resignation.
Administration sources in
sisted it had nothing to do with
the TFIX warplane investiga-
ton in which Mr.. Korth has
been a key figure, but he is ex-
pected to be recalled as a wit
ness in the Senate Investiga-
tons Subcommittee inquiry
into that case.
The same sources also said
it had nothing to do with dis
closure this week that Mr..
Korth was one of several de-
PENDANTS in a Texas insurance
suit charging fraud.
Drafting Statement
A spokesman for Mr.. Korth
said he is drafting a compre-
hensive statement which will
be made public late today to
answer rumors that his resig-
nation was requested because
Of certain business dealings.
! Mr.. Korth also was reported
to have retained a Washington
lawyer to represent him.
Informed sources at the
Capitol said the administration
acted swiftly after a report re-
garding Mr.. Korth was placed
before Attorney General Rob-
ert F. Kennedy. the Presidents
brother.
Talks Reported
The Attorney General was
understood to have conferred
recently with Senator McClel-
liam, Democrat of Arkansas,
chairman of the Investigations
Subcommittee, which has been
conducting a lengthy inquiry
into award of a multibillion-
dollar contract for the Tx
lplane to General Dynamics
Corp. of Fort Worth, Tex.
Neither the Justice Depart
ment nor Senator Mcclellan
would discuss the nature of the
conversation.
Mr.. Korth testified at length
in the Tx investigation last
July, and Senator Mcclellan
said he will be recalled for more
questioning before the inquiry
is concluded.
In his testimony, Mr.. Korth
denied there was any impro-
priety in his participation in
the Tx decision.
Recall Asked
He said his decision was not
influenced in any way by the
fact that the Fort Worth Bank
he formerly headed had par
ticipated to the extent of about
100000 in a 5000 million loan
made to General Dynamics by
a number of banks throughout
the country.
Senator Mcclellan said some
subcommittee members request
ed that Mr.. Korth be recalled.
The subcommittee sent investi-
gators to Fort Worth last month
in pursuing the inquiry.
Mr.. Korth's resignation was
submitted last Friday, but the
announcement by the White
House was withheld over the
week end.
