BERLIN. Dec. % (AP).-
East German guards fired on o
man attempting to flee from
East Berlin today as other
smiling Red guards were ad-
hitting West Berliners through
the Berlin wall to visit relatives
in the Communist sector.
The Communist guards fired
10 bursts from submachine
guns at a man apparently
trying to struggle through the
barbed wire on the southern
outskirts of West Berlin.
West Berlin police said they
could not see the victim be-
cause of poor early morning
light and heavy fog. But they
heard the guards shout Halt!
Haiti" This was followed by a
fusillade, followed by the
screams of a man.
At the wall in the heart of
the city the flow of West
B erlin ers dropped sharply
today after a weekend rush.
Most people apparently were
saving their precious passes to
visit relatives in East Berlin
during the holidays.
Only about 1900 passed
through the Communist control
points in the first two hours
today. More than 10000 went
through the wall during the
same period yesterday.
But at the IL permit offices
in West Berlin, about $4,000
persons queued up in freezing
weather to apply for permits.
West Berlin authorities said
most of the passes issued were
for the Christmas holidays and
New Years eve.

much Of the oil was never there

Two employees Of Allied have
testified, at court-ordered de-
position hearings, that they
over-measured the amount of
oil in the tanks on orders from
Allied Supt. Leo Bracceroni,
brother-in-law of DeAngelis.
One of the two men, Francis
Vivenzio. plant manager for
Allied. also testified that water
had been pumped into some of
the tanks, concealed by float
ing layers Of vegetable oils.
He estimated there was 300
million pounds of water and
100 million pounds of oil and

AirIift Brings
Members Back

An emergency airlift, AZ
ranged by White House aides,
brought q group Of Southern
House members to Washington
early today for crucial votes on
the foreign aid bill.
A commercial Jet transport
was chartered for the night
flight which made stops at
Amarillo and Houston, Tex;
New iberia, La, and Brookley
Air Force Base, Ala.
A White House spokesman.
asked about the flight, said the
cost was being betrayed BY
contributions from individual
members Of the Democratic
Party. He said no Federal
funds were involved.
1t was understood eight or
nine House members made the
flight. Edwin NJ. Thurmond,
manager Of the Amarillo Air
Terminal, said Representatives
Norris, Democrat of New Mexi-
co, and Purcell, Democrat Of
Texas, boarded there.
Another member reported
picked up was Representative
Colmer Of Mississippi, ranking
Democratic member of the
House Rules Committee which
had been unable to get a quo
rum together for action over
the week end.
The charter was arranged
yesterday afternoon as Presi-
dent Johnson and his aides
worked feverishly to line UP
votes to beat down an attempt
to add a rider to the aid bill
that would curb proposed sales
of surplus wheat to the Soviet
Union.

told television interviewers he

President next year If President

Peace Corps Director Sargent
Shriver, another vice presiden-
tial possibility, indicated in an
Associated Press interview that
he would be receptive to a bid.

before and turned them down, -
he said, but If the President
wants you to do something it's
hard to turn him down. You
generally wind up doing it."
Mr.. Shriver, a Chicagoan,
said he found it "flattering" to
be discussed as a candidate for
Governor of Illinois but vowed
he would not oppose incumbent
Democratic Gov. Otto Kerner
in the 1864 primary.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Government Pay Bill Deferment
Softened by Rises Due in January
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

Even though pending Govern
ment pay rise legislation has
been deferred in Congress until
next year, Federal classified
and postal employees still will
get pay rises starting the first
week in January.
These increases-averaging
Al per cent for classified en-
ployes and 2.6 per cent for
postal workers-are the sec
ond phase pay rises authorized
by last years Federal pay re-
form law.
The increases for classified
employees become effective on
the pay period starting jan
uary 5. For postal workers the
raises become effective start
ing January 4.
The tables below show the
new salary rates that classified
and postal employees will re-
ceive starting on those dates.
Sponsors of the pay-raise bill
are confident they have the
necessary votes for passage in
the House and Senate. They
also are confident that Presi-
dent johnson will indorse the
legislation In his budget mes
sage to Congress on January 10
and that this will help push
the bill toward enactment.
Behind the scenes maneuver-
ing to prevent a roll-call vote
once the bill comes up in the
House is expected to gain fur
ther congressional support.
The bill provides for a $4,000
pay raise for members of Con-
gress, many of whom are re-
luctant to go on record as

we have been cropping for a solu-

"We need discipline in a whole

In money. We must, for example,

surplus to make up the difference.
