HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (M Secretary of State Christian Heirter thinks the Western powers could negotiate with Russia a new and better plan for the future of disputed Berlin but he is by no means sure they will be able to do so in the Summit discussions now cautiously hopeful view was expressed by Herter at a news conference yesterday when Hi 4 THERE'S MORE CITY OUT THERE It was smoke and haze, not smog or fog, that obscured East Hazy eres From Smog Board On Housing of Survey Chairman Brings Challenge Oakland's public housing controversy erupted again last night as Councilman John Houlihan challenged Vice Mayor Howard E. Rilea's ap pomtment of John I. Hennes-sy as chairman oia special committee to study public housing needs. Hennessy, executive vice president of the Associated Home Builders of the Greater Eastbay, has long been an out spoken opponent of public housing.

The appointment, Houlihan charged, "is equivalent to set-, ting the fox towatch the chicken coop." He asked Rilea to reconsider the appointment or "I'll ask him myself to resign." Rilea refused to back down. The City Council then voted 5 to 1 to endorse the entire eight-man committee. NO STRINGS' 9 Rilea declared: "There were no strings attached -when was directed by the council fo appoint the committee. I've named what I feel is a well balanced group." He said if the council voted against his appointments he would recall them all and let someone else pick a committee. Rilea was instructed to appoint a group' to survey the city's entire low-income housing needs after an earlier citi zens' committee brought in an inconclusive report.

At issue is the proposed construction of 506 new units of public housing to shelter, families who will be displaced by redevelopment p.rojects in West Oakland. NEED DENIED The housing study committee of the Citizens Committee for. Urban Renewal said -additional units are not needed for the Acorn project, first of a series of five. The committee said normal vacartrwin existing public housing projects can accommodate families displaced it. the Acorn Area.

But the committee said it did not consider public housing needs not related "to the first redevel6pment project. Kiiea new committee was named to take it from there and determine if additional units will be necessitated by the huge Post Office project in West Oakland, the sue ceeding four redevelopment projects, or any other factors.

Bay Area residents learned today their visibility, which the U.S. Weather Bureau at the Oakland Airport said had been cut to two and a half miles, was not obscured by smog. Nor by fog.

It'i only air pollution! EXPERT OPINION This is the expert opinion of John Maga, chief of the State Department of Public Health. "The difference," Maga explained, "is that smog is generally regarded as the aerial 'gunk' manufactured by the sun boiling the -microscopic particles of smoke and haze which floats up from the Bay Area's factories and automobiles. "On the other hand," he con-tined, "air pollution is simply struck back at criticism i the Administration's Berlin attitude voiced by former Secretary of State Dean Acheson in a speech last week. Acheson contended that an effort to make a Berlin deal with Russia would res'lf simply in a defeat for. the West Negotiation, Acheson said, "is only a polite, misleading phrase for a retreat and tn acceptance Russian terms." 'STRAW MEN CHARGE Herter told questioning reporters that what Acheson had done "was to build up a number of straw men and then knock them iown." Acheson assumed, he said, that Soviet Premier Nikita S.

Khrushchev is standing on the same position proclaimed a year ago when hie exploded the Berlin crisis by threatening to force the United States, Brit ain and France to pull out of West Berlin. Actually, Herter said, the Soviet position has moved "a very long way" from that Furthermore, Herter said, Acheson lacked "any grounds for assuming that we were necessarily going to make con cessions which would be detri mental (to the preservation' tii West Berlin's freedom)." HESTER'S POLVTS Herter declined -to go into detail on many of the subjects raised during the news conference, but he did make these points: 1 He doubts that the North Atlantic Treaty -Organization (NATO), basically a military alliance, is the proper instru ment for developing joint economic aid plans among Western nations, but serious con sideration will be given to suggestions by NATO Secretary General Paul-Henri Spaak that NATO's political responsibilities be expanded. 2 New U.S. Brilish-Bussian scientific discussions starting today in Geneva are expected to provide further information on effectiveness of present techniques in detecting under ground nuclear explosions.

Smog, Maga said, usually occurs only during the mid summer months, when the sun is most intense.

UP, UP Living Costs Hit New High In October WASHINGTON, Nov Living costs rose to 25 ur a new peak in October. It was the sixth new record set in seven months.

The Labor Department an nounced today that its con sumer price index rose two tenths of one per cent to 125 5 per cent of the 1947-49 base period. This is 14 per cent higher than in October 1958. i As a result of the rise, about 1,250,000 workers will get pay increases under labor contracts which call for cost-of-living adjustments. The rise for most of them will be one cent an hour. These workers are principally aujo, farm equipment, electrical manufacturing and aircraft production industries.

About 68,000 workers in Lockheed Aircraft and the Allis Chalmers farm equipment companies will get 2 -cent hourly pay raises. A major factor in the cost-of-living increase was in transportation higher dealer sales prices for new 1960 model automobiles, plus the effect of the new 1-cent-a-gallon fed eral gasoline tax imposed in October. Food costs declined three-tenths of one per cent, but all other major groups of goods and services went up. One lower-priced food is the traditional Thanksgiving fare. Officials said that turkeys are selling this year at nearly 5 per cent less than a 1 year ago.
