Build-up
Expanded
WASHINGTON (P)-The mili-
tary buildup was expanded yes-
terday to include preparations for
immediate formation of three
more Army combat divisions and
the opening of a 16,000-man train-
ing center.
The Army announcement fol-
lowed by one week the Air Force's
notification to 71 National Guard
and air reserve units that they
may be called into federal serv-
ice.
Meanwhile the Navy was com-
pleting plans which may result in
adding about 80 ships of all typesE
to the operating fleet.
Divisions Reorganized
The Army's announcement said
that three divisions-the 1st and
2nd infantry and 2nd armored-
will be reorganized into regular
combat divisions. Their present
mission is training and they are
at less than half the strength re-
quired for combat readiness.
The addition of these three out-
fits would bring the Army's total
combat divisions to 17. This is in
addition to three existing Marine
divisions, with the possibility that
another Marine division may be
called later.
To begin the basic training of
the men needed to fill out the
three new combat units, the Army

Refugees
Set Record
BERLIN (o)-Refugees flowed
into West Berlin from East Ger-
many yesterday at the highest
rate in eight years despite new
Communist police measures to seal
off the escape hatch to freedom.
What effect Soviet Premier Ni-
kita Khrushchev's speech on Ber-
lin had on the refugees was not
clear. But it was obvious that
Khrushchev's firm insistence on
gaining Communist control of the
Western access routes to Berlin
did little to encourage them to re-
main in East Germany.
During the 24 hours that ended1
at 8 a.m. yesterday, 2,021 refu-
gees had registered in West Ber-
lin. Many started their flight be-
fore Khrushchev spoke, but the
number was the highest since
May 28, 1953, when 3,973 were
registered just before the East
German revolt against the Com-
munists.
Seal City
Walter Ulbricht, the East Ger-!
man Communist leader, went to
Moscow last week for a gathering
of Communist bloc officials. He is
reported to have asked Khrush-I
chev for permission to seal off the
city entirely from refugees and
stop the drain on East Germany's
manpower.
Khrushchev has given no signI
of agreeing to this, but there were
reports of Communist police
prowling East Germany, in dis-
guised radio cars, of stricter
checks at the city limits, and of
new Communist rules limiting
trips to the capital.
Information Bureau West said
that at Schoenfeld, on the south-
east city limits, the border police
unit was increased to 65 men and
15 plainclothesmen are on con-
stant street patrol with walkie-
talkie radios hidden in their cars.
Many Sentenced
The private West Berlin intelli-
gence agency also reported the
Communists are still sentencing'
people to jail for "preparing il-
legal flight" or encouraging oth-
ers to go.
But the Communists themselves

sion to give the secretary author-
ity, subject to veto by Congress
and farmers voting in referenda,
to draft quota-price programs for
individual commodities.
Freeman told a news conference
he was somewhat disappointed
that Congress did not see fit to
grant this authority.'But he hailed
the new act as the most construc-
tive and promising farm legisla-
tion in many years.
"It represents real progress in
the right direction," Freeman
said, "and can serve as a stim-
ulus ; for further steps toward
achieving the goals we seek for
agriculture."
At the White _ House signing
ceremony, witnessed by Freeman
and leaders of Congress and farm
organizations, the President not-
ed that this nation produces more
food per person than any other
country in the woild.
On the other hand, Communist
nations are struggling to supply
enough for their own needs, he
added, and "we Wish them well in
this area."
Although lacking the broader
authority sought by the admin-
istration, the new law does author-

immediately pressing problem of

estimate that the acquisition, stor-
age and shipment of surplus

that the program will reduce this

Civil Rights
Score Victory
MADISON, Wis. JP)--The civil
rights sit-in demonstration at the
Wisconsin statehouse scored its
first success last night as the state
Senate withdrew two anti-discrim-
ination measures from a commit-
tee after bitter argument.
One of the measures' would
merge Wisconsin's fair employ-
ment practices division with the
governor's commission on human
rights in a move to increase en-
forcement power.
The other is aimed at prohibit-
ing discrimination in housing and
public accommodations.
Sen. Horace Wilkie (D-Madi-
son), who launched the move with
a two-hour speech, called the
measure to merge the two agen-
cies "the most progressive piece of
legislation introduced in this ses-
sion."

Talks May
Be Useless'
Evade Comment
On Last Speech
By Khrushchev
PARIS (P)P - Members of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion yesterday endorsed the policy
of the big Western powers of
standing firm on Berlin and keep-
ing the door open to negotiation
with Moscow only "on a reason-
able basis."
Speaking on behalf of the ma-
jor powers, United States Secre-
tary of State Dean Rusk reported
to a closed session of the NATO
council on his weekend conference
with his British, French and West
German colleagues.
Rusk and other allied officials
evaded all comment on Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's
speech Monday night calling for
negotiations but insisting on
Communist demands.
One Exception
There was one possible excep-
tion to this no comment policy.
Lord Home, the British foreign
secretary, said negotiation for its
own sake would be useless. He did
not mention Khrushchev's speech
but may have had it in mind.
Rusk's report included recom-
mendations that Allied forces on
the continent be brought up to
full strength with the, addition of
perhaps 75,000 to. 80,000 men in
the near future, and a possible
buildup to 30 divisions later on.
This is a longtime NATO goal.
An official who attended the
session said the Council heard
Rusk's statement with sympathy.
Several members raised questions
which the secretary attempted to
answer. But Council delegates, by
the nature of their positon as
ambassadors, were unable to make
any immediate commitment on
new expenditures for addiitonal
troops.
Promise Report
The same source said Council
members promised to report back
to their governments. Early re-
plies are expected.
The Council agreed to hold
further consultations on the sub-
ject and then reaffirmed the poli-
cy adopted by the NATO foreign
ministers earlier this year in Os-
lo. This called for a "peaceful and
just" solution of the Berlin and
German problems on the basis of
self-determination.
The Oslo decision also said any
Soviet move, such as a separate
peace treaty with the East Ger-
man regime, could in no way de-
prive the Western powers of their
rights in Berlin nor relieve the
Russians of their obligations.
Lord Home told newsmen there
would be no point in undertaking
talks with the Soviet Union un-
less proper spadework offered
some hope of success.

Cuban Charge
Sets Off Fight
At Conference
PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay (R)
-Fidel Castro's economic chief
last night accused the United
States of plotting assassination in
Latin America and he in turn was
called an assassin by ashouting
anti-Castroite.
Fist fights followed at the tur-
bulent session of the Inter-Amer-
ican Economic and Social Confer-

ence.
The charges and counter-
charges arose over President John
F. Kennedy's multi-billion dollar
alliance-for-progress program.
The attack on the program by
Cuba's economic minister, Ernesto
(Che) Guevara, set off fist fights
both in and outside the confer-

think fundamentally it will be too
much hurt."
Sen. Thruston Morton of Ken-
tucky, former GOP national chair-
man, gave the program his sup-
port, noting it was "identical in
principle" to what former Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower had
advocated.
Kennedy is seeking authority to
borrow from the Treasury to fi-
nance a five-year $8.8-billion loan
program to aid struggling new na-
tions. He wants to put this foreign
aid on a long-range planning bas-

Morton, in a speech to the Sen-
ate, said 21 Republicans now in
the Senate supported Eisenhow-
er's similar proposal in 1957.
"I see no reason in principle
that they should not support the
same proposal when made by this
administration," he added.
