US and Russia Can't Agree on Talks
UNITED NATIONS — (UPI) — The United States and Russia announced today they were unable to agree on how general disarmament talks could be resumed or who would take part in them.
But they filed with the United Nations an agreed-upon set of aims for any future disarmament program should a way be found to get the talks started again.
A full-scale General Assembly debate is expected later in the current session, with the United States and Russia leaving it to the United Nations to decide who should take part in future talks and where they might be held.
Today's situation came about because the General Assembly shelved its debate on disarmament last year
Berlin Crisis Grows Worse
BERLIN — (UPI) — The Communists today started clearing East Berliners out of their homes along the barricaded border dividing this city. West German police reported.
They said East German police (Vopos) sent a fleet of furniture trucks to blocks of flats where the line of buildings marks the border and began moving out people and their furniture.
The doors and first and second floor windows of the apartments facing West Berlin had been sealed with stones and cement weeks ago to prevent refugees from fleeing to the West, but still they continued to break through. Another 18 made it during the night.
It has been predicted that the Communists eventually will evacuate an area of East Berlin along the whole 25-mile border with West Berlin.
Last night, the Vopos were ordered to act "without pity" against West Berliners who come close to the concrete and barbed-wire dividing wall.
The new Communist pressure followed the arrival in the city yesterday of Gen. Lucius Clay as President Kennedy's personal representative. The man who broke the Communist blockade of Berlin in 1948-49 received a roaring welcome from Berliners and gave them a big morale lift.
★★★
BERLIN — The East German Parliament today unanimously approved a "blank check" law authorizing the Communist regime to draft East Germans into the Army or any other service in the "defense" of the state.
Deputies of the Communist "Volks-
sammer" quickly approved a law proclaiming "the honorable duty of its citizens to serve in the defense of the (East) German Democratic Republic."
As the rubber-stamp Parliament acted, Communist police cleared out residents of East Berlin border housing blocks at gunpoint in a new move to prevent determined Easterners from fleeing to West Berlin.
The law appeared to give Walter Ulbricht's Communist regime power to introduce conscription, mobilization, forced direction of labor or other "defense" measures at will.
Western sources have said it was made necessary by failure of East Germans to volunteer for military service.
A few hours before Parliament met the Communists started clearing East Berliners out of their homes along the barricaded border dividing this city.
Communist police tossed tear gas grenades at Western photographers recording the operation, which was first reported by Western police.
People-to-People Meeting Tonight
All committees of People-To-People will meet at 7:30 tonight in the Parlors of the Union.
The purpose of the meetings will be to discuss and prepare for the November national convention and the Big Eight conference.
and asked the United States and Russia to consult and submit a report this year on the composition of a new negotiating group. This body would replace the committee of 10 — which had five Communist and five Western countries on it. This committee was wrecked when the Soviet delegation walked out at Geneva on June 27. 1960.
John J. McCloy, President Kennedy's special disarmament adviser, and Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin held three series of talks — in Washington, Moscow and Geneva. They ended without agreement on what the line-up should be for any negotiations.
Russia insisted upon the addition of five neutral powers to the unsuccessful Geneva talks. The United States rejected this, but offered four alternative proposals:
● Resumption of talks in the evenly-divided 10-nation committee.
- Addition of three neutralists to the 10-power committee to serve as moderators without acting as participating representatives in the talks.
- Addition of 10 more powers to the original group on the basis of geographical distribution. The United States suggested addition of Pakistan, India and Japan from Asia; Mexico, Brazil and Argentina from Latin America; The United Arab Republic, Nigeria and Tunisia from Africa and the Middle East; and Sweden from Europe.
- Return of the problem to the 99-nation UN disarmament commission.
Russia rejected the U.S. alternatives, but there was some doubt that it would flatly oppose resumption of talks in the U.N. commission.
Countries participating in the 1960 Geneva talks were the United States, Britain, France, Canada and Italy from the West; and Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria from the Communist bloc.
Alert Goes to Congo Troops
NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia — (UPI) — The Central Government of the Congo was reported preparing today to move troops into Katanga province if cease-fire talks between Katanga President Moise Tshombe and United Nations officials break down.
Premier Cyrille Adoula declared in a radio broadcast from Leopoldville last night that "as from now every citizen has to be prepared to answer the government's appeal to serve in Katanga."
Travelers reaching here from Elisabethville. capital of Katanga, reported that Katangese attacks on U.N. troops were growing in intensity.
HE SAID THAT the Congo's troops had been placed "in a state of alert."
THEY SAID MORALE among the Katangese soldiers, led by white mercenaries, was soaring because they appeared to have the U.N. forces on the defensive.
Informed sources said however, that Katangeese gendarmes suffered heavy losses — perhaps as many as 110 killed — trying to break an Indian roadblock near Elisabethville yesterday in one of the bitterest battles vet.
IT WAS FEARED here that Katangese victories would stiffen Tshombe's position on truce talks with Mahmoud Khiani of Tunisia, the man who stepped into Dag Hammarskjojd's shoes here after the U.N. secretary general was killed in a plane crash Sunday.
English Style Debate Has Been Postponed
There was no information on Indian losses but the reports said they still held the position after the attack.
Tshombe and Kharii talked for five hours last night and scheduled another meeting for today in this Northern Rhodesian border town.
The English Style debate scheduled for tonight at 7:30 in the Big Eight room of the Kansas Union has been postponed until sometime in November.
have noticed motorists violating the pedestrian crosswalks.
Speed Check-
"Cars are not stopping for pedestrians in the walks, as clearly marked by signs," the chief said. He indicated officers would also be watching carefully for these violations.
"It's obvious that unavoidable accidents will occur if pedestrians step out from between parked cars into the middle of the streets," the chief added.
MADILL. Okla.—(UPI)—Not all tourists who travel to southern Oklahoma's lake resorts have come to fish for bass, according to Marshall County Sheriff Urkle Hargis.
Undercover Action
Hargis says that about half of the 50 cases of cattle rustling reported to him last year involved alleged tourists who used camping and fishing equipment as camouflage for nefarious deeds.
Soccer Fan Caught
NOTTINGHAM, England—(UPI)
—A 16-year-old soccer fan was fined $2.80 for stealing toilet tissue from British Railways. The theft was discovered, a policeman said, when the boy threw the roll at the referee at a football game.
NAGS HEAD, N. C.—(UPI) Hurricane Esther barely brushed North Carolina's protective outer Banks Island chain today and swept north with its 130 miles an hour winds.
Hurricane Esther Hits Carolina Coast
Residents of the Atlantic coast from New Jersey to New England braced for the worst.
Hurricane warnings were lowered south of Hatteras, N. C., and the weather bureau said they may be lowered as far north as the Virginia capes in a matter of hours although weathermen warned residents not to let down their guard.
At 9 a.m. EST hurricane warnings still were displayed from Hatteras to the Virginia capes and a hurricane watch went up from the Capes to Massachusetts.
THE WASHINGTON WEATHER bureau said in its 9 a.m. EST advisory that Esther was expected to continue in a northerly direction about 14 miles an hour for the next 12 to 18 hours at the same size and intensity—big and mean.
At 9 a.m. the storm's eye was located about 140 miles east-northeast of Cape Hatteras.
Should the storm hit the New York-New England area it probably would strike late today or tomorrow, anniversary of a Sept. 21, 1938 hurricane that swept across Long Island into New England, killing 558 persons and doing $500 million property damage.
THE WASHINGTON WEATHER
bureau's emergency warning service
--said it was still too early at midmorning to predict where or whether the storm would hit land but indications were for a continued northerly movement.
