WASHINGTON—President Kennedy conferred today with his top fiscal experts and West German Foreign Minister Heinrich Von Brentano to explore ways of easing the foreign drain on U.S. dollars and gold reserves. His talk with Brentano was unquestionably aimed at proposal on how West Germany can best contribute to relieve the dollar drain. However, U.S. and German officials said they expected other matters besides the dollar problem would be discussed, such as Berlin, European unity, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and trade problems in general.
SOUIX CITY, Iowa—Mrs. Burnice Iverson Geiger, 58-year-old woman who admitted embezzling $2 million from friends' and neighbors' accounts in her father's bank, was sentenced today to 15 years in prison. Federal District Judge Henry M. Graven sentenced the graying assistant cashier of the Sheldon, Iowa, National Bank after a prosecutor disclosed for the first time that she speculated for many years on "the Board of Trade" with bank funds ranging up to $1,000 a month.

DUBLIN—Playwright-author Brendan Behan was fined $84 today on charges of assult and malicious damage stemming from a drunken brawl on Feb. 8 in which he battled three Dubliners until police broke up the melee. Behan appeared in the prisoner's dock of the police court wearing dark glasses but took them off to disclose a badly bruised right eye suffered in what he said was an attack on him by three men "because I was famous."

WASHINGTON—AFL-CIO President George Meany urged Congress today to move fast to extend more unemployment compensation to jobless workers whose benefits have run out. He said passage of the bill would "spell the difference between hunger and hope" in hundreds of thousands of American homes.
"This is not a matter of charity," Meany told the House Ways & Means committee in a letter. "This is an investment in the future of America . . . for this purchasing power not only immediately helps the unemployed — it helps us all by stimulating an economy that badly needs it."
Meany sent his special appeal as the House group went into its third day of public hearings on President Kennedy's emergency jobless pay program.
