Brandt sees victory on treaties By HUBERT J.

ERB BERLIN (AP) Chancellor Willy Brandt addressing a sea ot West Berlinera predicted Saturday that his Eastern treaties will be ratified, and appealed to wavering delegates to' "listen to this city" before they vote. "Ha ho hey." the upwards of 50,000 in John F. Kennedy Square chanted, "Willy is okay." Their old mayor took his coat off on this sunny though chilly day as ha warmed to his task. With the ratification of his treaties with Moscow and Poland, Brandt said, the four power Berlin agreement will take effect and East West German relations will normalize: "This, our city," Brandt shouted above the din, "has better chances now than at any time since the war. This city knows: what is good fur Berlin is also goad for our country, and good for Europe.

That is why I take up the appeal: delegates of the German parliament, listen to this city," At the rally in the square where President Kennedy declared: "I am a Berliner," Brandt referred to a connection between his treaty with the Russians and their accord with the United States Britain and France on Berlin When tilings are better between East and West, it will be increasingly to the benefit of Berlin." Lashing out at opposition party critics who say that while Brandt talks detente, German division remains and shooting along the Wail continues, Brandt declared: "Certainly, at the end of this process the growths of the cold war must disappear No one could and can bring me to legally recognize Hie division of our country and this city "At the same lime wc must begin with the way things are Normal relations to Communist states docs not mean that ideological and social political differences are covered over." Brandt, mayor for a decade, counted on his appeal having a particular echo in Berlin, where eased transit controls and two way visits through the wall are in prospect i his Ostpohtik is not derailed. He told a news conference he expected quick ratification of the Moscow Warsaw pacts, if perhaps not exactly on schedule next week. In his speech, he scorned those of his government coalition who cast crossover votes, not for changing parlies, but for taking their mandates with them. He fired a sharp blast at the conservative oriented Christian Democrats, saying those "who allow themselves to be assisted by the National Democratic party" need not reach about democracy to him. That rightist party pulled its candidates out of a recent pivotal state election in which the Christian Democrats won a commanding majority, triggering a series of events that led to a no confidence challenge to Brandt, which be b'ual back, and to a subsequent budget vote which he lost.

This makes the ratification of his treaties uncertain since he needs an absolute majority of 249 votes in the lower house of parliament. In last week's two critical votes, neither Brandt nor the Christian Democratic opposition got more than 247 Brandt repeated he is seeking opposition help especially on the treaties issue in an attempt to get them through on as broad a base as possible. In a speech in Brunswick, the Christian Democratic leader, Rainer Barzel, said of his talks with BrandL that in the present situation both sides should display prudence. They meet again this week. BHrzel, who would replace Brandt as chancellor in a new government, said it was lime to return to a common foreign and domestic policy among the rival parties.

ferandt's social Democrats organized tha Berlin rally for him, with many participants carrying signs reading: "We say yes to the Eastern treaties."
