chanted and marched today in Berlin's biggest Communist show since the war. The vastly prepared Whitsuntide rally turned out to be a peaceful parade, not a putsch. By mid- afternoon not an incident had marrr-d the demonstration. But it was a parade which mocked and caricatured the West, eulogized Stalin and the Soviet, and carried high the drum beats of hate, not unlike another day when Hitlers massed legions strode the same historic thorough fare, Unter Den Linden. The biggest hand was saved for 10,000 i m-f a jackbooted troopers of the East German People's Police, which the West calls an army.

The deeply tanned, drilled mass swept down Unter Den Linden and past reviewing stands in the Lustgarten in per fect military formation. In dark blue uniforms and red ties, they carried regular field kits but no arms. Reminder of Naz.iUm The youth brigades, shouting "friendship-friendship" in cadrnre and clapping their hands in unison, reminded onlookers of Nazi "sicg heils." Soaked to the skin and khiver-ing from the frequent showers, many sought refuge in nearby doorways and bomb ruins as Stalinist oratory wore on at the Lustgarten, but were herded back to their formations by East German police. "Just like Hitler's time," muttered non-Communist German watchers. Along a nervous east-west dividing line that threads past Brandenburg Gate and through Pots-damer Plat, East German police laid out fire hoses and faced an equally alert West German police force.

Thirteen thousand West German police, equipped with stores of tear gas and water-spouting trucks and backed by 8G00 riot-trained Allied troops, had taken extreme precautions in view of the threats of Free German Youth (FDJ) leaders months ago that they would "storm Berlin." Precaution Bear Fruit If the threats were serious the precautions bore fruit. The showdown over Berlin was postponed for another day. About all that was proved today was that the West would not be moved out of Berlin by threats of a Communist putsch, that the East is Keeking to interest the marching youngsters in future careers as soldiers and already has laid the foundation for an automaton state. The weather discouraged any trouble-seeking anti-Communist Germans from lining the sector iKirders to hoot and jeer. High British and American officers who patrolled the sector lines in helicopters reported not a sign of violence.

An 87-years-old woman, with nearly $3000 concealed in her clothing, was arrested here tonight and charged with the theft of $270. She was booked at police headquarters as Ernesta Marone of 43 Hill Street, who makes her living. Policewoman Mae Gilhuiy said, by peddling cigarettes and candy at the Public Produce Market where the alleged theft occurred.

The policewoman said that when she searched the aged woman at police headquarters she found three packages of money in her clothing, one containing $1200, another with $1400 and the third with $382. Rose DelVecchio of the Vita-Pak Produce Company, complained she left her handbag on a counter while she answered a telephone call. When she returned, she said, her wallet containing between $270 and $300 was missing. Detective Diamond Lenzi and Policewoman Gilhuiy, sent to investigate, found Mrs. Del Vecchio's empty wallet on the sidewalk in front of Mrs.

Marone's home, they reported found the woman seated on the doorstep of the tenement house where she lives. A Detective Bureau spokesman said later that the woman admitted taking the money. She was held in $300 bail for City Court arraignment tomorrow on a charge ofy theft.

Lifted, unconscious, from his racing car, Kolakowski was taken to New Britain General Hospital but was found dead on arrival. At the hospital it was said death was due to a broken neck.

Accident Termfyl Freak Thomas Galan, announcer at the track, described the accident as a freak one. He said Kolakowski was driving along the outside section of the track, normally much safer than an inside lane. It was the night's first race and the cars were in their ninth lap, coming out of the fourth turn. Two other cars, Galan said, bumped Kolawski's and his machine went into a skid, tipped up on two wheels, flopped to its right side and crashed into the ran. 1 Investigation of the accident whs made by Detective George Mitchell, working under Lieuten ant Adolph Pastore of the state fire marshal office.

Local wine producers and United States wine firms have signed an agreement calling for the sale of a quarter of a million dollars worth of Israej wine to Ihe United States.

There was some fear that the deal, biggest wine sale since the war, might cause a wine shortage in Israel. The government, however, insists upon increasing exports despite a growing local demand for wine. Taft Would Warn Reds Washington, May 28. (AP.) Robert A. Taft, the Republican party's top policy chieftain in the United States Senate, proposed today that the United States "tell the Russians that if they start aggression they're in war."

Kimmel, suggests some moderate tax chan ges now, to be followed gradually by deeper cuts as federal finances improve. "A tax policy that will promote economic expansion and high level income is imperative," Kimmel said. Under the present system, he estimated that even a modest 10 per cent drop in national income would cost the government a year in revenue, or about one-fourth the already deficit-ridden budget. Program Offered The Brookings report offered these as elements of a tax policy aimed at providing greater incentives to business and industrial investment: 1. Easing the double tax on dividends.

Part of the 38 per cent corporation tax, say, about 17 per cent, would be earmarked as a tax on dividends. It would be taken out before the dividends are sent to stockholders. The stockholder then would not pay personal income tax on this dividend income. 2. Gradually cutting the rest of the corporation rate (the remaining 21 per cent), as government finances permit.

An ultimate goal of 10 per cent was suggested. 3. Immediately reducing the top-bracket personal rate, which is now 82 per cent, and reducing other rates so that no taxpayer would give the government more than 60 per cent of his Income. Ultimately a limit of 50 per cent should be reached, Kimmel said, because when taxes "take more than one half of income, there is often a strong psychological reaction." The prospect of earnings is so diminished, he explained, that the individual frequently prefers not to risk his money in investment or take on new job responsibilities. Other Revenue Needed The alleviation of the double tax on dividends, at a cost of about $1,000,000,000 in revenues, should be considered as an immediate measure, the study held, but no substantial cuts in corporation rates now can be made "unless compensating revenues are obtained from other sources." Kimmel reported that in recent years of high taxes corporations have been recouping more of their tax outlays through raising prices than they formerly did.

About 60 per cent of the 209 firms which replied to questions on this point said their pricing policy was consciously influenced by the corporation tax rate. Some 55' per cent said their plans for capital expansion had been restrained by taxes. This may be an understatement of the effect of taxes on business growth, Kimmel said, because the replies included some from firms which, because they have excess capacity or for other reasons, would not have expanded regardless of taxes. On the other hand, th survey indicated that the creation of new business is not greatly held back by taxes; "the desire to be one's (Concluded on Page 4, Column 5.)

When State Police rounded up their statistics at a late hour Sunday, the state was still free of fatalities due to road traffic or drownings. A serious motorcycle accident in Wethersfield Sunday afternoon endangered the record. Joseph P. Minnigal, 23, of D-211 Charter Oak Terrace, Hartford, was jn critical condition in Hartford Hospital with a fractured skull feared. State Police recorded an additional 10 persons injured in 19 motor vehicle accidents on Saturday and Sunday on roads they patrolled over the week end.

Three Injured Seriously On Wilbur Cross Highway, near where it becomes the divided lane Parkway in the Talcottviile section of Vernon, Albert Krauzaitls, 28, of 190 Union Street, Manchester, was injured late Saturday night. His car, southbound, hit a highway post, spun about and finally overturned. Pinned under the machine, Krauzaitis was rescued by first arrivals at the scene. He was taken to Manchester Memori al Hospital where his condition was listed as critical with a pos. sible fracture of the neck.

The seat of the motorcycle was torn off and glass was scattered along the highway from the brok en headlamps. No one was known to have seen the accident.

Albert James, 48, of 49 Pliny Street, Hartford, was seriously injured on the Merritt Parkway in Greenwich Sunday. State Police reported that car in which he was a passenger knocked down nine highway posts near the Greenwich Toll Station and then went down a 30-foot embankment. James was taken to Greenwich Hospital where attendants said he may have a fractured skull. He was also reported to have a broken jaw and cuts about the face. The driver of the car, Theodore Davis of Brooklyn, N.

(AP.) Israel said today it now ready to accept complete United Nations control over Jerusalem's holy places and all other matters of universal religious concern in the Holy City. The announcement was made in a memorandum to the UN trusteeship council rejecting the UN plan lor an international re gime in Jerusalem.

Ihe Israel government said the international plan is "inherently unimplement-able." Israel's new proposal falls far short of complete internationalization, but it goes considerably beyond Israels earlier proposal for UN supervision of holy places under contractual agreement with Israel and Jordan. Council to Get Ihmuh The Jerusalem issue comes before the Trusteeship Council's summer session opening here June 1. It is taken for granted in UN circles that the council will junk the international statute it adopted in Geneva last spring. The plan originally was opposed by the United States and Hritaln, and it lost its most staunch sup porter recently when Russia said she could no longer back it. Both Israel and Jordan, whose troops actually occupy the divided Holy City, also had vigorously opposed the plan.

There was no immediate comment on the new Israel proposal, but some diplomatic quarters believed it might serve as the basis for a solution to the deadlock. The main unknown factor is what Jordan's reaction will be. This is important since most of the holy places are located in the old walled city, controlled by Jordan. The main difference between the new plan and Israel's earlier proposal is one of principle. Under the old plan, UN authority in Jerusalem would have depended solely upon agreement between the UN and Israel and the UN and Jordan.

The UN representative, or commission, would have been accredited to the two governments. Under the new plan, the UN agency would derive its powers exclusively from the general, assembly and would exercise its functions independently of any local government. 26 On Plane Held Helpless At Gunpoint Air Force Veteran Goes Berserk During: Flight in California Fresno, May 28.

A 26-years-old Air Force vet eran, who said a "gang of desperate killers" was after him, held 26 airline passengers at gunpoint for nearly half an hour today. ihe plane, en route from Los Angeles to Oakland, made an emergency landing here and deputies arrested John O'Reilly as he jumped out, gun in hand.

He was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Aboard the plane with Reuly was his 22-years-old Geiman war bride of three years, Megdaline, and their eight-months-old son.

Kelly Will Direct Show To Benefit Camp Courant Clinton, N. May 28. (AP.) A Fort Bragg paratrooper made 54 parachute jumps here today, but fell short of the 76 jumps he hoped to make to set a new world's record. Exhausted, but uninjured, Pfc. Neal Stewart, 22, of Birmingham, said "I guess I just gave out." However, he plans to take another crack at the unofficial world's record of 75 jumps in one day in the near future.

The record was set recently by a Yugoslavian in London. Stewart attributed his unsuccessful attempt today to the small "drop zone" grassy area at the airport here. He said he missed the "drop zone" eight times. He landed in a ditch once and on the runway five times. He figured those eight "misses" were what "knocked me out." On his if ty-fourth jump, Stewart passed out for a few minutes after landing.
