Adenauer's open criticism of the U.S. with Adenauer suggested that U.S.- Soviet talks are potentially dangerous if they go on indefinitely without result, and said he does not think they will lead to a Berlin settlement. The State Department, using words about as blunt as it could use to an ally, challenged Adenauer to come up with some better proposals, and told him without qualification that the probing for a Berlin settlement "will continue." The public break, which diplomats, believe will be patched up, came after several weeks of U.S.- German rowing, mostly behind the scenes. It puts a new strain on Allied relations within NATO. Only a few days ago at a NATO meeting in Athens Secretary of State Dean Rusk reportedly gained 3ie impression that, he had at least limited support from West German Foreign Minister Ger- proposals in those Russia and the U.S.

tentatively advanced talks apparently works against the position which Schroeder took The situation is further complicated by French government disapproval of Western initiative in trying to open negotiations with Russia. The U.S.-Soviet talks were started by Rusk last fall and so far have 'failed to lay any basis of East-West agreement on Berlin, though for six weeks now there has been a lull in the crisis. In a news conference Monday Adenauer called one of the chief U.S. proposals in the discussions with Russia unworkable. He also said there was noi evidence whatever that the East- 1 West talks would lead to any result.

Tuesday Adenauer said he! saw use in going on with the talks and he thought there might be danger in doing so. Medicare Feud Continues Doctors 'Shock' Welfare Leader WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff said Tuesday that New Jersey doctors who say they won't treat patients under Social Security health insurance are violating their professional oath. He called their attitude shocking and -attempted blackmail of Congress and the American people. Dr. J.

Bruce Henriksen, who initiated the 'doctors' stand, promptly denounced Ribicoff's remarks as a threat to withhold from hospitals whose ctors oppose'the medicare plan. Mbicoff issued his criticism in a-statement" aimed at the resolution last week by a number of. doctors at the Point Pleasant Hospital, Point Pleasant, N. J. and Fitkin Memorial Hospital, J.

Doctors signing the 'resolution said they would not treat patients under President Kennedy's proposed program of health insurance for the aged through Social Security. Patients unable to pay directly, or through insurance, would be treated without charge, the doctors said. Ribicoff said the doctors apparently don't mind use of federal funds when they are the beneficiaries. "These doctors apparently believe it is all right," he said, "for the federal government to help build the hospitals in which they More Moslems Die ALGIERS AP Death struck at quarter-hour intervals among Moslems of.

The secretary said the two hospitals involved have received $572,246 in grants to aid in construction and purchase of equipment. Henriksen, informed at Point Pleasant of Ribicoffs comments said: "This thing has been twisted around to--make us look like a bunch of stinKers; as'if we going to take care of old people, but that isn't true. Our fight is against the King-Anderson -bill (medicare'program) and the socialization of medicine." Kennedy Confident ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
