Calls Berlin Top Dispute

McNamara
Claims Lag
In Research
Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc-
Namara reportedly has lambasted
Michigan Republicans in part for
the research lag in the Midwest, as
educational institutions on the
east and west coasts attract more
and more grants and top-notch
scientists.
He felt that lean appropriations
from the Republican-dominated
state Legislature have put the Uni-
versity in a bad position to com-
pete in the basic research field, a
Detroit Free Press article said last
night.
Funds Lag
The article highlighted Michi-
gan's declining share of the Pen-
tagon's research outlay (only 1.53
per cent) and claimed that faculty
members, management and scien-
tists "see little future in an area
without military contracts and ex-
panding industries."
University President Harlan
Hatcher, noting that McNamara,
formerly a resident of Ann Arbor,
had never contacted him personal-
ly about the matter, said the Uni-
versity was moving forward satis-
factorily in the research field.
He cited the construction pro-
gressing on the Physics-Astronomy
Bldg. and the planned Institute of
Science and Technology as facili-
ties designed to promote research
Retain Experts
In reference to another of Mc-
Narnara's reported comments --
that faculty men are moving else-
where to do research the Univer-
sity can't finance - President
Hatcher said that since the 1958:
state budget crisis the situation of
retaining outstanding scientistsj
has worked out well for the
campus.
"However, it's true the Midwest
hasn't been able to move forward
as much as it should industrially,"
he said, and pointed out that]
Michigan was still primarily an
automotive center, while the eastl
and west coasts have been fast
developing new industries in elec-1
tronics, missiles, and other fields1
demanding high-powered research.1
McNamara was not directly;
quoted in the article. The Free
Press reported the comments of7
Rep. Thomas L. Ashley (R-Ohio),
who had conferred with the sec-
retary about the Midwest's slumpj
in defense research contracts.
IBeti Drama
Set To Open

MOSCOW (P) - Premier Nikita
Khrushchev, in an interview with
13 American editors released yes-
terday, hammered hard on the
theme that Berlin is the main cen-
ter of east-west dispute and that
it must be settled by western
troops getting out of the city.
He said he could not understand
why the United States, Britain and
France cling to their "military
bridgehead" because as long as
they are there they raise the heat
of east-west relations.
But he set no new deadline for
the westerners departure.

"We shall not hurry, but neith-
er shall we tarry," he said.
Claims Missile
The premier, in the wide-rang-
ing 21/2-hour interview in the
Kremlin last Friday, again assert-
ed that the Soviet Union has a
global rocket that cannot be
knocked down by another missile.
And he said he hoped reports
the United States has better
means of detecting nuclear tests
would cause it to abandon the de-
mand for international inspectors
to police a nuclear test ban.

1) 1 TTrip-£

He also declared the Soviet Un-
ion was not negotiating and had
not negotiated with any power -
presumably Red China - about
arming them with atomic weapons.
Main Issue
H o w e v e r, the editors said
Khrushchev referred to Berlin as
the main issue.
The interview was released on
the same day that the Soviet for-
eign office in notes to the United
States, Britain and France reject-
ed their June 25 proposal that a
four-power meeting be called in
Berlin to discuss means of easing
tension caused by shootings and
other violence along the Berlin
wall.
The notes again disputed East
German responsibility for the vio-
lence and blamed it on alleged
fascist and criminal elements in
West Berlin, encouraged by the
western powers.
Raps West
Khrushchev charged the three
western powers cling to West Ber-
lin as a "military bridgehead" and
"a source of tension."
If they would only depart, he
said, the Soviet Union is willing to

Despite Moscow's Rebuff
WASHINGTON ()--Secretary of State Dean Rusk heads Thurs-
day for Geneva and more talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko despite a fresh rebuff from Moscow.

Rusk's travel plans were announced yesterday almost simul-
taneously with Soviet rejection of a Western request for a conference
to discuss ways to end violent incidents along the Berlin wall
before they can mushroom into more serious outbreaks.
The secretary is going to Geneva to participate in the wrapping
up of the agreement which it is hoped will put Laos on a permanent

Soviets Reject
U.S. Proposal
For Test Ban
GENEVA (P) - The Soviet Un-
ion stiff-armed an American com-
promise move for a nuclear test
ban treaty at the reopening of the
17-nation disarmament conference
yesterday.
Soviet delegate Valerian A .Zor-
in told newsmen the United States
plan was "no compromise at all in
our view."'
Then, in his opening speech to
the conference, Zorin accused the
United States of "stepping up stra-
tegic and all other preparations for
a nuclear war" while continuing
disarmament talks.
That was the Soviet position a
month ago when the conference
recessed after a three-month ses-
sion whose only forward step was
the adoption of a treaty preamble.
The United States delegates
again assured the conference the
United States considers world dis-
armament a matter of priority. He
said the Soviet Union, for its part,
"has significantly retreated on the
nuclear test ban treaty."
Viet Nam War
Claims Lives
SAIGON (P)-Three air crashes
and an ambush took a toll of 51
lives in three days, in the camps
of American servicemen and their
Vietnamese allies. Five of the dead
were Americans, and five others
are missing.
Worst of the air disasters in the
jungle war with Viet Cong guer-
illas was the crash yesterday of a

basis of neutrality. But he is al-
lowing himself plenty of time to
discuss Berlin, disarmament and
other East-West issues with Gro-
myko and with Allied foreign min-
isters.
A Soviet note rejecting a June
25 Western proposal for talks on
the Berlin wall was criticized by
State Department Press Officer
Lincoln White as unresponsive.
The British foreign office also
expressed disappointment at the
Soviet turndown.
Privately, United States officials
described as "nastily worded" the
Soviet note which again blamed
the West for Berlin wall incidents.
But they saw no basic change in
Russian position.
The state department said Rusk
will probably fly directly to Ge-
neva and return directly from
ther to Washington about July
25 or 26.
The technical reason for Rusk's
trip is the signing of the interna-
tional agreement on Laos sched-
uled by the 14-nation Laos con-
ference for July 23. Soviet sources
said they expect Gromyko to ar-
rive July 17.
Other foreign ministers from
the participating nations which in-
clude Britain and France, are
also expected to be on hand early
for the formal signing.
Thus the stage is set for a kind
of East-West foreign ministers'
meeting which can touch on a
variety of cold war issues.
The Berlin discussions have
made little if any progress. But
Rusk favors continued contacts
with the Soviets, even though no
solution is in sight. He sees them
as a means of holding down ten-
sions and leaving the door open
for a settlement.
The 17-nation Geneva disarma-
ment conference also resumed yes-
terday, after a month's recess.

"This objective is to be achieved without reducing our combat
effectiveness abroad or creating hardship for the individual service-
man or his dependents," McNamara told a new conference.
The aim is to reach the objective by 1966, with more than half
of the $900 million savings coming through reductions in spending
