WORLD TRADE
Asks Tools for Coping
With Different Situation
WASHINGTON (P)-Undersecretary of State George W. Ball said
yesterday "I hope Congress will provide the tools for coping with a
totally new situation" in world trade.
But Ball, the administration's top expert on foreign trade, was
vague as to just what President John F. Kennedy will propose in place
of the reciprocal trade law which expires in June.
He said he expects the proposals will include authority for the
President to make across-the-board cuts in tariffs on large groups of

Ask Greater
News Access
WASHINGTON (P)--A commit-
tee of broadcasters talked over
with President John F. Kennedy
yesterday problems of access to
government information.
It put in a bid for more fre-
quent presidential news confer-
ences on live radio and television.
The 12 members of the Commit-
tee on Freedom of Information of
the National Association of Broad-
casters had lunch with Kennedy.
The president of the NAB, Le-
roy Collins, and White House
Press Secretary Pierre Salinger,
also were present.,
The chairman of the commit-
tee, Frank P. Fogarty of Mere-
dith Broadcasting Co., Omaha,
told reporters "We got no prom-
ises" of more frequent, live cov-
erage of news conferences.
He said he wasn't quoting Ken-
nedy, but "I do think he is con-
cerned with over-exposure."
?commodities and industrial prod-
ucts. This has been widely pre-
dicted.
Final Decisions
Beyond that Ball declined to
be specific. He said Kennedy will
not make final decisions until
after he talks with key congress-
men early in January.
"I like to think the President
would include some description of
the proposals in his State of the
Union message," after Congress
convenes Jan. 10, Ball said, and
that the actual legislation will be
submitted to Congress shortly
[after that.
Ball was the first of a group of
administration witnesses invited to
testify before a Senate-House eco-
nomic subcommittee on foreign
trade policy headed by Rep. Hale
Boggs (D-La).
The undersecretary reviewed
the emergence of the European
Common Market, composed so far
of six nations working toward a
goal of eliminating trade barriers
among, themselves and dealing
with the rest of the world as an
economic unit.
"We really do need a fresh ap-
proach adapted to the realities" of
the present world trade picture,
Ball said.

PARIS (W) - A United States
spokesman said yesterday the So-
viet Union is attempting to pro-
voke distrust in the nation alli-
ance by leveling charges at West
German Gen. Adolf Heusinger.
American circles said the note
represented another instance of
the long-standing Soviet campaign
to sow distrust among NATO
members by making c h a r g e s
against member countries of per-
sons prominent in NATO work.
The informant pointed out that
Heusinger was unanimously elect-
ed to his NATO position.
The fact that the note was di-
rected to the United States gov-
ernment some 15 or more years
after the events involved shows
this was a propaganda exercise,
the American sources said.

Propaganda
Note Publicized
At Conferencet
MOSCOW (P)--The Soviet Un-1
ion demanded yesterday that the'
United States arrest West Ger-
man Gen. Adolf Heusinger, chair-
man of NATO's permanent mili-
tary committee, and hand him
over to Moscow for trials as a
World War II criminal.
The West German governent
and NATO military sources in
Paris called the war crimes charges
against Heusinger propaganda.
They said the charges were ex-
ploded long ago by investigation.
To observers it seemed prob-
able the charges, brought up 16
years after the end of the war,
were meant as another brush;
stroke in the, Soviet picture of
West Germany as a warlike na-
tion endangering peace over Ber-
lin.
Military Adviser
Heusinger for years has been
West German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's military adviser and'
chief architect of the postwar
West German Army. He was in
Paris when the note was made
public and made no public com-
ment.
He was arrested by the West-
ern Allies after World War II and
interned until 1948 but never was
brought to trial on war crimes
charges.
As chief of operations, he was
standing at Hitler's side and was
wounded in the 1944 bomb at-
tempt on Hitler's life. He had
known of the plot but had not
taken part in it. Arrested by the
Nazis, he was released after two
months but was barred from ac-
tive duty.
Soviet Charges
The Soviet charges were made
in a note to the United States that
was publicized before cameras at
a brilliantly lighted news confer-
ence in the foreign ministry.
The note was sent to the Unit-
ed States because the NATO per-
manent military committee, of
which Heusinger was made chair-
man a year ago, normally works
in Washington. But copies were
sent to all NATO members and
several other nations.
Michael - Kharlamov, foreign
ministry press director, said an
extraordinary commission had
just finished investigating Heu-
singer, but he said a moment later
that the part the general played
in the war had been known for
years.
Although the Soviet note asked
that Heusinger be surrendered so
he could be tried in Moscow, Khar-
lamov said there would be no ob-
jection to other nations taking
part in the trial.
Displayed at' the news confer-
ence was a large exhibit of maps
and documents, said to have been
captured from Nazi archives in
Germany, on which officials said
they based their charges.
Some documents seemed de-
signed to sharpen differences in
Britain regarding West Germany.
ELISABETHVILLE (P) - Fresh
Katanga troops moved in from the1
North yesterday to bolster the
Elisabethville garrison while Unit-"
ed States Globemasters sped 216
newly arrived Swedish soldiers
from Leopoldville to reinforce the
United Nations lines.
It looked as if both sides weret
building up for a military show-
down after a week of inconclusive
skirmishing.
Gen. Norbert Moke praised hisc
weary Katanga army veterans andt
declared he intends to take thel
offensive soon against the Unitedt
Nations Congo command, though
he acknowledged superiority of its
weapons and jet air force. The'
number of the Katanga reinforce-
ments was not stated.
Shell Headquarters
Katanga batteries rained mor-
tar shells on the UN headquarters
here in the night-firing from a
ridge west of the building-and
Information Minister Albert Ny-
embo told newsmen he believed it
was now abandoned. UN sources
said two Indian troops were killed
and one wounded.
Katangans claimed the capture
of important military equipment.
In the war afield, government
sources declared the UN air force
attacked Luena, a coal mining
center about 100 miles north ofI
Elisabethville, and Shinkolobwe,
a uranium mining town 65 miles
northwest of this city.

Halt Shooting,
Nations Urge
UN, Tshombe
UNITED NATIONS R) - Pres-
sure mounted yesterday for a
cease-fire in Katanga, where the
United Nations has been unable
in eight days of fighting to over-
come President Moise Tshombe's
forces.
Britain sparked the move to call
on both Katanga andthe United
Nations to halt the shooting. A
dispatch from the Western foreign
ministers' meeting in Paris said
the United States and France
would join Britain in addressing
an urgent cease-fire appeal to both
sides.
There was no comment here
from the United States, which has
been supporting the stated objec-
tives of acting Secretary-General
U Thant in Katanga. They are to
restore freedom of action for UN
forces in the secessionist province,
and assure security for all UN
personnel.
Force Moves
Toward Kivu
SHANGUGU, Ruandi Urandi R)
-Two thousand troops from the
Congo's Oriental Province are
heading toward Kivu province in
an apparent attempt to take it
over, Kivu provincial government
sources said yesterday. The troops
belong toleftist Antoine Gizenga,
they reported.
The troop movements were re-
ported to a special session of the
Kivu government by Premier Jean
Miruho in Bukavu Monday night.
Afterwards a message was sent
to Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula.
hospital, a railroad station, two
locomotives and water tanks at
Shinkolobwe. It said three Afri-
cans were killed and 10 wounded.
Katangan radio reports said UN
planes also attacked copper min-
ing installations at Jadotville, in
the same area, destroyed some lo-
comotives and strafed railway
workers.
Travelers returning to Elisabeth-
ville from a trip into the interior
of this secessionist province said
they had to move by night because
UN jets were shooting at vehicular
traffic by day.
To Seek Basis
For Parley
With Russians
PARIS (P) - The Western Big
Four ministers agreed last night
at an emergency session to feel
out the Russians to see if an ac-
ceptable basis for East-West talks
on Berlin can be achieved, an
American source reported.
But an official announcement
ending a session of the foreign
ministers of the United States,
Britain, France and West Ger-
many carefully refrained from
saying the powers had reached any
over-all accord.
It said only they had agreed on
the report they will make to the
NATO allies.
