HIGHTOWER NEW YORK (AP) The Western powers are reported to have told the Soviet Union that they have no intention of negotiating with Communist East Germany over the right to keep Allied troops in West Berlin. The future status of the U. British and French garrisons is one of the critical issues that have arisen in talks held separately by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and British Foreign Secretary Lord Home with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.

India (AP) A senior police official said today an explosion in a crowded street shortly after Prime Minister Nehru rode by in a car was not an assassination attempt. Nehru himself shrugged off the incident and said he did not even know about it until he got home Friday night. Then. he said, police told me that there had been a cracker Indians use this expression in referring to a firecracker sometimes placed in a bottle or wrapped in mud or stones.

Appearing at an integration con ference here this morning, Nehru told newsmen with a smile: It seems to have created a little more excitement in tendon and Washington than here. I had two cables from London and Washington. He did not identify the send ers, other than to say one was "a colleague. The blast came in the teeming quarter of Old Delhi where Nehru went to attend a Gandhi birthday celebration. It went off as thousands of persons broke through police lines to watch the prime minister's motorcade go past.

Police said Nehru's car was more than a tnile away when the explosion occun-ed. An official said, It might have been a demonstration against something or other, but we do not know what." Reports that the street lights suddenly went off before and after the blast created suspicions among some officials that it might have been a planned attack on the prime minister that misfired. Delhis Chief Magistrate Bose Mullick said, It was planned by mischief-makers. Nehru skipped a scheduled visit to the historic, is ending today, but Rusk and Gromyko plan to meet again in Washington sometime next week. In Washington, it is understood Gromyko hopes to have a conference also with President Kennedy, but U.S.

officials said the meeting has not yet been arranged. The talks, which actually mark the start of informal negotiations over a compromise settlement, have dealt with three major aspects of the Berlin crisis: 1. Rusk and Home have tried to impress upon Gromyko that the Western powers will fight to defend West Berlin and its access routes. Some aides of the two Western ministers think Soviet Premier Khrushchev now understands that he runs the risk of war if he overplays his hand. 2.

Rusk has tried to discover whether Khrushchev is willing to agree to a basis for negotiations on Berlin. If he is, an East-West foreign ministers conference in Novemlier or December seems certain. 3. Rusk and Home have sought to explore the possibilities for success of a foreign ministers' conference. In essence, they want to know whether Khrushchev is willing to compromise or whether he intends to dictate the terms of a settlement.

Gromyko's practice in the talks. Western informants say, has been to repeat stated Soviet policy. Thus he has reaffirmed governments plan to sign a peace treaty with Communist East Germany by the end of the year. Gromyko is said to have argued that troops stationed in Berlin after the treaty is signed would be (Continued on Page 4, No. 2) Frost Expected In North (Tonight TOPEKA (AP) Sharply colder burg Headlight and heard four prominent Kansans pay him tribute as one of Pittsburg's most active and test known citizens.

Gen. said today an cleared the board of commissioners and the police department of Salina of any wrongdoing.

The inquiry was conducted by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation under Fergusons direction and at the request of the Salina Board of Commissioners. Two commissioners voiced dissatisfaction with operation of the police department. Nothing was found, the attorney general said, to warrant ouster or even local disciplinary action. Ferguson said KBI agents spent six days and nights carefully cheeking each rumor, suggestion or tip. He said he had examined all of tlie statements, documents, exhibits, newspaper reports and reports of interviews and reached tiie following conclusions: 1.

Allegations of malfeasance with resiiect to the conduct and activities of the hoard of commissioners and the police department were based upon rumors or misinformation which the investigation proved to be without foundation in fact. 2. Minor indiscretions or intemperate statements by individual commissioners with respect to the police department are not considered of sufficient signifi cance to warrant any disciplinary action. 3. The investigation revealed that a member of the police department publicly used intemperate language in his dealings with several of the employes of a local construction company.

The evidence indicated this activity was outside the scope of his official duties. Although we do not condone the activities of this officer ir this connection, there is insufficient evidence to warrant a conclusion that there has been official malfeasance, Ferguson said. 4 The findings indicate in general that the Salina Police Depart ment is efficient and well run al though there appears to be a possible exception in the area of 'excused overtime parking tickets. 5. The investigation revealed that charges of bribery or "pay off directed hy a member of the city commission against a mem ter of the police department were unfounded.

The 21 mayors and two of their wives arrived in a Pan American World Airways flight from Frank furt 40 minutes behind schedule, due to the late arrival of their transatlantic plane. The group was headed by Mayor Haydon Burns, of Jacksonville, president of the United States Conference of Mayors.

Burns said the mayors carried telegrams from 572 other American mayors, assuring the West Berliners of the wholehearted support of the American people. The telegrams were to be handed to West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt at the city hall later today. The American military command in Berlin delegated four officers to conduct the mayors on their two-day visit, which will include a bus tour of Communist East Berlin Sunday.

Motorists Ignore Pedestrian Rights Iola motorists are displaying a wanton disregard for ixxlestrians, especially small children en route to school. Everett Shepherd, police chief, said this morning. Because of a large number of complaints from the mothers of school children. Shepherd posted lookouts on a main east and west artery yesterday noon.

They report that very few of the motorists were yielding the right of way to pedestrians whether children or adults. At one intersection a group of children was held lip for over 10 minutes in a marked pedestrian lane by a line of cars and trucks which sped through. Shepherd says that next week his men will start arresting drivers who do not yield the right of way lo jxxlestrians properly crossing streets at intersections. Motorists either do not know or ignore the fact that pedestrians have the right of way when they cross streets at an intersection regardless of whether or not there are traffic signals, stop signs or other warnings at the crossing. Motorists, making right or left turns at intersections with traffic signals, often forget that pedestrians and vehicles moving with the green light have the right of way.
