The most pressing need in our world today, among men and nations, is a sincere desire for with all men." lerlin Crisis While they still had the chance, three million East Berliners fled westward before the cornmu- nist-built wall that divides the city could be completed in August of 1961. Annually some 5,000 East Berliners have risked their lives seeking permanent escape to the West. From time to time East Berlin security forces have set up arbitrary requirements to inconvenience West Bedliners traveling between the city and other areas of West Germany, separated by 110 miles of East German territory. None has been quite as severe as the latest imposition demanding visas and $5 payments for West Germans crossing communist territory to and from West Berlin, and additional taxes on all goods shipped in and out of the city. Because Berlin remains under the technical control of the -wartime allies of the United States, Britain France and the Soviet Union, Chancellor Kiesinger would have been derelict in his duty had he not appealed for support of the three Western nations in presenting his protest to the East German regime and its overlord, the USSK.

The East German move, obviously Moscow- inspired, comes at a time when the Kremlin apparently is convinced the U.S. will take no action to counter it because of its involvement in Vietnam and in the-presidential election. Getting Gose The U.S. Treasury faces another spell of financial claustrophobia as the national debt again rises close against the statutory ceiling. At around $356 billion, the debt is nearly $25 billion higher than a year ago.

In the last month it rose by $3.5 billion, bringing the total close to the legal ceiling of $358 billion. And that's uncomfortably close for the nation's debt managers. On July 1, the limet by law will be temporarily increased by $7 billion, to $365 billion. But with the seasonal growth in the debt only months off, Treasury officials expect there will be some anxious moments before the year is out. This will be so even if Congress adopts the 10 percent income tax surchorge and $6- billion reduction in spending.

Paris Feels Rockets Not only have the Viet Cong contemptuously ignored the possibility of antagonizing world opinion their rocket strikes on civlan areas of Saigon, they have pledged to continue them. One waits, apparently in vain for cries of outrage at such acts of deliberate terror which have no relationship to questions of military necessity. Hanoi's representatives in Paris reject stern S. warnings with rfrncs reject stern U.S. warnings with references to having shown under U.S.

bombing that the North Vietnamese are not easily intimidated Ail the killing of South Vietamese civilians in Saigon will cease, they say, when the United States withdraws her troops from South Vietnam. Apparently, like the town that had to be destroyed in order to save it, South Vietnamese civilians will be delivered from the clutches of American troops even if that deliverance has to be their deaths at the hands of their Viet Cong liberators. Hanoi ignores at her peril Ambassador Averell Harnman's warning that such attacks endanger the discussions in Paris. The first condition" for the start of those talks, a bombing halt in North Vietnam, was imposed by President Johnson at the end of March over firm objections from some of his advisers and members of Congress. There may be little likelihood that resumption of the bombing of North Vietnam could have significant effect on these acts of terror against Saigon.

But voices are being raised in support of such a resumption. It could become impossible for President Johnson to resist demands that he renew" the bombing, simply out of a growing public frustration with the terror being rained on Saigon's people and the wish for some form of retribution. The Hanoi vow to continue bombarding Saigon sivilians suggests that the North Vietnamese either mistake America's position as one demonstrating a desire to get out of Vietnam at all costs or sees little hope after all for the Paris talks. If that is the case, the increasingly frequent rocket explosions in Saigon's populous areas could, bt. to a noisy collapse of the fragile bridge in Paris, plunging Vietnam into the abyss.

30- Rockys Upkill Struggle Bv BRUCE BIOSSAT TULSA, Okla. (NEA)-- There is a very special reason why Gov. Nelson Rockefeller leapt so little benefit from the endorsement he gained heie fiom Permsjlvd- ma's Gov Rc-jmond Shafei. Rockefeller cannot hope to pall down Richard Xixon's commanding lead simply by consolidating support that is supposed to have been his ail along. Tne most careful and re- s'-onsihie pi ejections of Republican national convention delegate strength a assigned the New Yorker immense potential in his own state, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, part of New England, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and here and there in the West.

Notwithstanding this potential, Nixon is widely conceded, in scrupulous delegate counts compounded of fact and reasonable conjecture to have more than the necessary 67 votes necessary to nominate at Miami Beach in August. So ro palpitations were felt among the 20 GOP governors who garnered here for a very semiannual meeting. There is no more momentum for Rocky in a announcement than there would be for Nixon if South Carolina's Sen. Strom Thurmond suddenly declared he was going to campaign seven days a'week for the former vice president. RockefeEer will not begin to shake Nixon seriously until there is evidence that some of the latter's huge vote potential in the Midwest and beyond to the Pacific is breaking toward the governor.

For months, all checks of delegate strength have indicated that important portions of the Nixon backlog were soft and, conceivably, could be moved to Rockefeller or some other. But wavering delegates have to have a reason to move and so far Rockefeller has not given it to them. His aides assembled in Tulsa talked hopefully of other governors endorsing him soon. They wistfully eye Gov. George Romney of Michigan, whom they backed for so long.

They try to keep Maryland's Gov. Spiro Agnew, once their a bell-ringer, from leaping the other way. But here a a i even if somehow they won the open support of these men, it would just represent the spelling out of the expected. A canddate hardly gets a jet-assist from that. A a Rockefeller's problem is even more acute than this view of it suggests.

Last fall and winter, it was possible to run up a count of 12 to 16 governors, conservatively, who might well swing behind Ms candidacy. Nixon was a i trouble finding more than a handful. Today it is easy to find 14 or more for Nixon, Rockefeller has Shafer, his brother Winthrop Rockefeller of Arkansas, Govs. John Chafee of Rhode Island and Harold LeV- ander of Minnesota. Sympathetic but undeclared are Gov.

John Love of Colorado, Nils Boe of South Dakota, David Cargo of New Mexico, Daniel Evans of Washington. Wavering Nixon supporters, both leadership and rank-and- file typ es are not impressed that Rocky has had so much trouble getting the people that are supposed to be his. Indeed, Rocky's intensive new campaign via television, advertising and street rally to go over the heads of the politicians to the people is evidently as necessary to get or hold what he is already supposed to have among the moderates as it is to take away decisive chunks of Nixon's commanding delegate potential. From talks both with Rockefeller's aides and with many governors, it is this reporter's judgment that the New Yorker's failure to consolidate this very promising moderate a is a consequence partly of his own numerous mistakes in 196S and partly of the incredible timidity and ineptitude of his would- be supporters. a side failed the other in important ways worth discussing IB a later report.

It is a philosophy the astronaut not only speaks, but lives. And, it is one of many reasons his companionship has buttressed the morale of Ethel Kennedy's 10 children in a desperate time. Pictures of Glenp playing touch football with the Kennedy boys, distracting only hours after their father was critically shot, keep appearing in magazines and memorial books to remind us of an overwhelming truth' No man, not even a perfectionist and devoted father like Robert F. Kennedy, could command a finer comrade for his sons. And then there is Anna -John Glenn's wife, who never willingly poses for pictures but who is always there because she is, as he has put it, "Annie-the rock of the family." Calm and serene through endless suspenseful episodes in their married life, Anna Glenn is, in her womanly way, as much an inspiration as her husband is.

"The only way you'd ever know Annie was worried," a friend told me, "is that this curious inner shines through in her face. You get a feeling of confidence, just being around her. I guess you can't get inner strength like that if you've never had plenty to have to be be strong about." Before this latest tragedy in her life-- this violent loss of a friend Anna had long experience to build up the rocklike consistency that helped her to help out the Kennedy family. Long before her husband became an astronaut, he was a hero of two wars, a test pilot. A woman must practice calm when her man is flying 59 fighter-bomber missions in the Marshall Islands during World War n.

She must learn self security when he is flying 90 missions over Korea. And when the man returns, finally, laden with medals and decorations, a woman needs inner strength to be able to say here-we-go-again and congratulate him on becoming a test pilot who will become the first man to fly a jet at supersonic speed from Los Angeles to New York. During the period when John Glenn was awaiting his chance to become the first man to orbit earth, Anna was asked what kept her so calm. She replied quietly "my religion John and Anna Glenn are both deeply religious. He taught Sunday School.

She was active in charitable and church ventures. When Glenn was first being considered for Project Mercury, they called on their minister to discuss whether man had an ethical right to be up there in space. three of them agreed, after some discussion, that it was not only man's right to extend the knowledge of the universe it was something expected of him. Later John Glenn laughted, "I figured it was as close as I'd ever get to heaven The Glenns are Presbyterian, The Kennedys are Catholic. It doesn't matter.

"What -matters is faith," said Annie Glenn. "Faith is what makes things look right, like everything is going to be fine The Glenns and the Kennedys share that. Another trait the two families shared was a deep inter-family devotion. Though the Glenns had only two youngsters boy and girl, now 21 and 20'-- their home was a modest, simplified version of the tightly-knit enclave enjoyed by the wealthy Kennedys. As for the affection shared by man and wife, here again they were much alike.

Bobby and John were always on the move, but when came home the affection each shared with his wife made others stand back and admire. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- Entetptws?

In 1967 the United States exported less than two million tons of steel, imported twelve million tons Where foreign labor will work, figuratively if not literally, for a handful of rice, you can buy steel overseas and ship it over here and still make a profit. Last year, as desperately as we needed to keep American dollars at home we spent $15 billion for foreign-made steel.

Translated, that says 70,000 Americans lost their jobs because 14 per cent of our steel was bought overseas. And the imbalance of exports over imports is worsening You and I have watched Uncle Sam perform vith similar shortsightedness be punished American cattlemen by allow- i increased Australian imports while our own beef business was desperately depressed. We have seen our American watch industry destroyed by cheap foreign labor. Heaven help'us if we ever again need A i a watchmakers to make bomb sights; we haven't any. We saw our Santa Claus government increase imports of Japanese ceramics eight times in 14 vears and put many American producers of those products altogether out of business.

We saw cheap imported textiles put 86,000 American textile workers out of work in one year. While government is reluctant to increase import quotas in our favor a other nations threaten retaliation in the market place, at least one American industrialist is doing a little "retaliating" of his own. President Kenneth Daniel of American Cast Iron Pipe Birmingham, could be as tempted as anybody to buy steel and steel products overseas for less. Instead, on his own initiative, he is buying only American produced in American plants by American workmen. Each length of his company's pipe is now striped red, white and blue.

And Daniel has invited every manufacturer an the United States to follow his lead. The i reaction from ACIPCO buyers is approval, applause and reorders. We know what rival nations are up to- They, often aided by American dollars, subsidize their steel industries while paying minimal wages, thus to undersell American producers and "sabotage" fee U. steel industry. Now, while half a million of our steelworkers are negotiating a new contract with America's major steel makers, they'd best be sure not to increase their own wages more than they increase production.

Otherwise, with higher prices the steelworkers will end up paving for their own pay hike. Or, worse, will drive more American customers (General Features Corporation) Quotes From The News By United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) The Rev. Ralph D.

If you followers don't go with me thats ali right Tve been there 13 times and found God there." WASHINGTON Hanoi approach in the Paris meetings on Vietnam is remarkably similar to the Red Chinese-North Korean strategy in the Korean trace talks at a and Panmun- jom. The Communist effort in the Korean negotiations was to get a truce line agreed on first before any other business. Once a truce line was established, the United Nations military pressure would be off the North Korean and Red Chinese forces. The negotiators succeeded in their aim. A provisional truce line was agreed on.

The Communists were then able to delay the talks with no loss to themselves. U.S. negotiators estimate that this decision to establish a provisional truce line early the game lengthened the Korean v.ar by at least a jear. The provisional truce line also the Communists a free hand in fortifying their positions. Thus, if the talks broke down, a United Nations advance would be extremely costly.

This early Communist negotiating success in Korea enabled the Communist negotiators to approach the United Nations representatives with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude from then on. This one major mistake was responsible in large part for U.S.-U.N. inability to secure agreement a workable inspection a arrangement which meant, in turn, that the Com- munists were free to break the truce with impunity. This U.S.-U.N. mistake was in large part responsible for the fact that no peace agreement was reached, leaving Korea perpetually part in and part out of war ready to blow up at any time.

It is difficult to understand in retrospect why Washington agreed to a provisional line early in tiie talks. The U.S.- U.N. negotiators themselves were against it. Apparently there was so much pressure on the U.S. government for some sort of concrete results and so much pressure to end the fighting that Washington in desperation gave in to Communist demands in an attempt to show progress and to assure the American people that their young men were not dying needlessly when peace "just around the corner." In the end, however, the lecord seems to indicate that this concession more lives than it ed.

For there Uitn no pressure on the North Koreans and Red Chinese to bring the war to an end. In Paris, the a i approach is almost identical. The Communists again have as the first item in their agenda a demand that the U.S. a bombing, reconnaissance, psychological war and all other warlike acts against North Vietnam. If Ho Chi Minh, by maneuvering or "concessions" is able to achieve this end, there will be a lot less pressure on Hanoi to agree to anything.

HAL BOYLE Real Facts Of Life Related By Columnist NEW YORK (AP) If I could have held her in my arms as I had done before, perhaps I would have been as smug as the smiling man I saw put the ring upon her finger. The day just couldn't have been more perfect had the Lord wanted to improve the weather in heaven. Skies were treasuries of bright blue, the sun brightened the spirits of everybody, and there was space in the church parking lot for all but the last 37 cars that showed up for the ceremony. I felt so tremendously responsible. Was there a hymnal and a prayer book in every pew The church looked so nice and new, as if Christ had just walked His freshness there.

There is a human glory in the waiting of the groom and the flowery walkway of his adorned bride. As she strolled down tne most wonderful street of her life arm in arm with her tall, dark handsome father, I thought to myself, "WeD, they'U surely be calling on me next. There must be something for me to do But the next words I heard were the famous words of the preacher presenting the acceptance of alternates "In sickness and in health in the union of going the way together. "Who giveth this woman the minister inquired. This woman? This growth of protoplasm whose bottom I'd pretended to spank when you could hold all of her person in either hand and lift her to the ceiling? She stood there, framed in her usual portrayal--her fair hair, her eyes that mirrored the ing of an occasion, a look of being wistfully eager to make vou feel better.

Looking at her critically. I sensed, as probably most people do, the luminous fact that girls never look more lovely than they do when echoing the words of a minister as they stand steady by the man they're being wedded to As you grow older, you realize that one of the facts of life is that people tend to look more acceptable in church than out of it "Who giveth this woman the minister asked. Responded in confident affirmation, the tall, dark, handsome father: "Her mother and I How about me? Nobody asked me. Nobody asks at a marriage how a fellow like me feels about the situation. Yet at most marriages there's a fellow like me.

He's the guy who stands around with a hurt look in his eyes and offers to pour you a drink--and then spills champagne in your lap.
