He criticized West German Defense Minister Franz Joseph Strauss's visit to way last week, one of points cited by the Russians in picturing a war threat. Kekkonen said Strauss trip involving consultations on purchase of military supplies between the two North Atlantic Treaty partners apparently was not of a noteworthy character, but was "a denburg Gate indicated heavy steel rails were being pounded into the earth. The Communists also worked to erect tank barriers at other spots along the wall.

One project progressed under the glare of floodlights on Zimmerstrasse, within sight of several hundred staring West Berliners. It was estimated that probably 2,000 workers were put on the job along the wall, with an equal number of armed guards watching them. Loudspeakers Blare Communist loudspeakers at other points along the wall blasted out the phrase: "You are going to experience an eventful night." Aside from the obvious construction efforts, there was no Berlin Communist East German construction gangs protected by armed troops labored through the night to erect massive tank barriers and seal up gaps in the Communist wall dividing Berlin. It looked like the final effort to complete the concrete, brick and barbed wire barrier after more than 3 months of work. The construction gangs set to work on at least 6 points along the 25 mile border separating the Western sectors from the Communist 1 section of the city.

Work began when night fell and cranes and truck loads of building materials rolled up to the barriers under floodlights and a bright moon. Peace Shattered Helsinki, Finland t) Premier Khrushchev agreed Sunday to meet with Finland's President Erho Kekkonen to talk about Moscow pressure for Soviet Finnish military consultations. The cabinet announced the Soviet leader, accepting a Finnish request for an informal meeting, said he would receive Kekkonen at the Siberian city of Novosibirsk Friday. It means at least a 5 day breathing spell for this little nation struggling to maintain neutrality in East West affairs in the Kremlin's campaign for joint defense talks pegged to an alleged threat of West German aggression in the Baltic. Khrushchev is on a tour of industrial centers and farm lands in eastern reaches of the Soviet Union, which could explain why he suggested No vosibirsk as the site.

That city of more than 750,000, sometimes called the Chicago of Siberia, is on the Ob River 1,750 miles east of Moscow. Quick Action The Finnish request for the meeting was turned over by Premier Martti Miettunen's government to Soviet Ambassador A.

The sudden outburst of feverish construction activity appeared to be a show of defiance of demands by Western leaders that the wall must come down as part of any Berlin settlement. The work went into high gear as West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer flew to Washington for talks with American leaders on the Berlin situation. At a news conference in Bonn last week Adenauer had declared "the wall must go." West Berlin's deputy mayor, Franz Amrehn, inspecting the new sections underway, commented bitterly: "That is a wall for a thousand years."
