Berlin's Mayor Brandt Terms Partition 'Minor'
BERLIN—(UPI) - Mayor. Willy Brandt said today that Berlin actually is a "minor" world problem and useless as a key for solving the basic issues which divide cast and West.
He stressed that the "Berlin issue" cannot be solved by itself. The East-West dispute over Western Allied occupation rights in the city is not the cause of the cold war, only a symptom of it, he declared.
In an exclusive United Press International interview in his wellappointed but business-like office in the huge old Schoeneberg Rathaus, Mayor Brandt stressed this point.
"There can be no separate solution for Berlin because this problem is a result of the split of Europe and of Germany," Brandt said.
"If the free powers could solve the more important problems, then the proper atmosphere will exist for the solution of such minor problems as Berlin." he declared.
Brandt smiled when he was asked if he really thought Berlin is a minor problem.

Swastika Greets Adenauer in Japan
TOKYO — (UPI) — Extreme rightists unfurled a swastika-marked banner at International Airport last night to welcome West German Chancellor Radenauer. Police tightened precautions against leftist rosters.
A small group of rightists strung a barber bearing two black swastikas on a red background on the railing of a ramp leading from the terminal building to the runways. The banner bore the words, in English, "Welcome, Mr. Adenauer."
The banner appeared about an hour before Adenauer's scheduled arrival to begin an 8-day state visit.
Police threw a cordon of more than 200 men around the terminal building to protect the 84-year-old chancellor in case anti-German demonstrations threatened by student radicals should flare into violence.

Living Costs Reach New High
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The nation's living costs, spurred by higher interest rates and medical bills, edged up last month to equal the all-time high set last November.
The labor department's consumer price index reversed a two-month downtrend by climbing two-tenths of one per cent. It was 123.6 per cent of average 1947-49 prices, an increase of 1.5 per cent above a year ago.
A sharp reduction in gasoline prices and the fifth consecutive monthly decline in food prices prevented the index from rising to new record levels.
Mortgage interest rates, which
have risen steadily since mid-1958 brought a rise in housing costs, the labor department said.
Medical care costs went up eight-tenths of one per cent last month—largest increase in 18 months. Substantially higher premiums for health insurance in Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Youngstown, Ohio, and Charlestown, W. Va, were blamed.
The outlook is for further increases in living costs this spring, according
