THE MICHIGAN DAILY U.S. T rucks, e Russian e ps Move NATIONWIDE SURVEY: Citizens Pay Higher State Taxe Acro si Ambassador Meets Reds. About Berlin WASHINGTON (P)-Ambassa- dor Llewellyn Thompson had a meeting at the Soviet Foreign Ministry in Moscow Sunday on the explosive situation along the East- West border in Berlin, top-rank- ing officials reported yesterday. This was the second Kremlin conference in 48 hours on this is- sue. Thompson this time called on V. V. Kuznetsov, first deputy foreign minister. On Friday, he saw Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko. State Department spokesman Lincoln White, reporting on the Sunday discussions, said he did not know whether it was Thomp- son himself or one of his aides who called at the foreign minis- try. He said the discussions were on "identification procedures on the governmental level." The problem of "identification procedures" last week brought American and Russian tanks to the Fredrichstrasse crossing point, the only one open to allied per- sonnel in the divided city. on Friday, Thompson protest- ed against East German requests that, U.S. officials in civilian clothes should identify themselves when coming to East Berlin. Gro- myko answered with a counter- protest against U.S. armed es- corts accompanying American civ- ilian officials entering the city's Soviet sector. White said the Fridaycconfer- ence was "initia, and called It "unsatisfactory." The second conference was in- itiated by Thompson. Soviet Union Urges Finland Tio J0i, Pact MOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet Un- ion yesterday called on Finland to take joint defense measures to protect both countries against West Germany and its North At- lantic Treaty Organization allies. Foreign Minister Andrei Gro- myko handed Finnish Ambassador Eero Vuori a note urging that con- sultations begin at once because of what he called a growing 'West German threat to use the Baltic Sea as a jumpoff place for war. The request appeared to be a first step toward bringing Fin- land in line with the Warsaw Pact military bloc and quite possibly for .establishment of Soviet air, naval and ground bases there. The Soviet'note also included in its chages of military threats the other Scandinavian countries, with which Finland has strong historic, cultural and economic ties. The note accused Norway and Denmark of being involved in plotting with West, Germany, and it lashed out against what it term- ed leading circles of Sweden. South African Ouster Urged UNITED NATIONS (-) - Nine, African nations and Iraq last night called for UN ;Security Council discussion that could lead to expulsion of South Africa from the United Nations because of its white supremacy policies. A resolution citing South Afri- ca's refusal to alter its apartheid policy as grounds for the action was accompanied with a recom- mendation that countries of the world cut diplomatic relations, shipping and air links and a trade boycott. Ghana initiated the move. Oth- er sponsors are the Congo (Leo- poldville),- Guinea, Iraq, Libya, Mall, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Su- dan and the United Arab Repub- lic. The resolution was drafted for the UNAssembly Special Political Committee now in its second week of debate on South Africa's apart- heid policies.

The convoys may have been anz American probe of Russian inten- tions in the inflamed Berlin crisis. But the United States command in Berlin 'said the troops were headed back to West Germany in a routine replacement operation. West Berlin border police saidc it was highly unusual for Ameri- can troops to travel the 110-mileI autobahn from Berlin to West Germany in battle-ready array, with camotiflage nets over their steel helmets. The movement of United States troops followed incidents Sunday and early yesterday in which So- viet officers turned back United States Army military assistance vehicles entering the express high- way from Berlin. Three were halted, the last shortly after mid-' night. The vehicles are unarmed and provide help for American trav- elers who have car or other trou- ble on the Autobahn. Attention shifted to the high- way linking West Berlin with the outside world as efforts to solve the tense border-crossing dispute within Berlin itself were taken over by Washington. The United States, it was re- ported there, may agree to Amer- ican civilian officials showing identification to East German po lice, if Soviet citizens show theirs in West Berlin. It was American insistence that United States government civil- ians not show their identification to the East Germans that brought United States and Soviet tanks muzzle to muzzle in Berlin last weekend. Nixon To Back Rockefeller NEW YORK OP)--Former Vice- President Richard M. Nixon said yesterday he will support Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller if the lat- ter is the Republican nominee for president in 1964. As for himself, Nixon repeated that he does not intend to be a candidate three years hence. When asked if he would support Rockefeller as- GOP candidate in the next election, Nixon replied: "I certainly will." NEW YORK ()-The 1961 state legislatures tapped their constitu- ents for nearly $1 billion a year in new or increased state taxes, Tax Foundation, Inc., said yester- day. They tlus pushed the combined total of state revenues, excludingE unemployment insurance levies, to a rate of about $21 billion per year, up threefold from fiscal 1948. Among 60 major tax law changes enacted this year in 33 states, the most noteworthy were the personal income tax imposed in West Vir- ginia and the state sales and use tax voted by the Texas legislature. West Virginia became the first state, the Foundation said, to adopt an income tax since 1937 when Maryland and Colorado went to this levy. Alaska started taxing citizen incomes in 1949, but was then a territory. Income Tax West Virginia, which previously had an income tax but abandoned it after six years in 1941, set a rate of six per cent of federal in- come tax liability. Texas became the 35th state to impose a levy on sales, providing a 2 per cent rate calculated to yield $320 million a biennium. Pre- scription drugs, food and certain clothing items were exempted. New Jersey enacted an emer- gency transportation tax levied on income of commuters'between New Jersey and New York at rates to match the New York income tax. Foundation Survey The Foundation's survey showed that rates of existing income taxes were increased by Alaska, Dela- ware and New Mexico, lowered in' California, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, New York, North Dakota and South Carolina and revised both upward and downward by Minne- sota. Locals Pass Ford Pact DETROIT (P)-The rank and file membership of the United Auto Workers Union at Ford Motor Co. has overwhelmingly ratified the new Ford-UAW contract, the Union informed the company yes- terday. The three-year agreement covers 120,000 Ford hourly workers. The UAW said all but two of the 57 local unions ratification votes had approved the agreement. Meanwhile the UAW reported progress in their efforts with Chrysler to hammer out a new three-year contract. Both agreed major problems re- mained to be worked out and they continued into the night after taking an afternoon break. A top union'spokesman said he antici- pated a long meeting. They are working under what amounts to a union threat to strike Thursday if no new contract is wrapped up by then. Major national issues still unre- solved are Chrysler's demand for a reduction in the number of Union representatives who draw company pay while processing grievances and handling other Union business in the plants, and the Union's demand that Chrysler relax its work standards (job quotas). /A ::w. However, most changes, had nar- rower impact. Robert W. French, Foundation president, predicted states will find it harder and harder to "patch" existing revenue structures, and concluded there are fewer and fewer ways to put off major deci- sions on expenditures and taxes. Smokers and autoists were hit by many changes. A I " I I.j ' } " . . " . The survey showed 16 states in- creased cigarette tax rates by from one to four cents a pack, 15 boosted drivers' license or car registration fees and five hiked state gasoline taxes one or two cents a gallon. Cigarette taxes reached the 8 cents a pack level in five states. Existing sales and use taxes came in for widespread surgery. Four states-Connecticut, Illinc Utah and West Virginia - i creased rates, and 10 states broa ened the tax base. French foresees increasing pre sures for additional state revenu mostly as the result of fast-gro ing populations, continued urba ization and a rising living stands associated with a higher level government expenditures. .
