Reports To Kremlin On Rusk Talks MOSCOW (AP Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko says the Soviet Union is ready to consider the Western Allies point of view on Berlin and Germany" if the West is sincere in wanting an understanding with the Soviet Union. Gromyko declared before the Soviet Communist Crossing Closed Briefly BERLIN troops today moved across the border into East Berlin for the second straight day to reassert the right of Americans to move unimpeded.

The East German police closed the Friedrichstrasse tiossing, but reopened it when calm was restored. tanks provided a backdrop for the convoy across the dividing fire but were with drawn later. The situation flared up and died down, in less than an hour. The Friedrichstrasse crossing known as 'Checkpoint Charlies to GIs, went back to normal and was again open to traffic by non-Germans. It is the only crossing between East and West Berlin that is left for the use of Americans and other foreigners.

The U.S. government announced in Washington it has instructed Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson to protest to the Soviet govern ment against interference with allied official visits to East Berlin, and to insist that Soviet author! ties resume active control of the east zonal border check point. State Department Press Officer Lincoln White announced that Thompson has an appointment with the Soviet foreign ministry tomorrow. The United States, White said wants the Soviet authorities to resume their active day-to-day re sponsibility over control of Allied traffic at the border crossing gate which remains available to Western officials in the Communist wall along the East Berlin fron tier. In the last several days East German authorities whose regime is not recognized by the Western powers have controlled traffic at the Friedrichstrasse entry.

The United States contends the Soviet government is responsible for, a single handed or unilateral transfer of power over Allied traf fie to thejEast German, police Lacking agreement of the Western powers, the Soviets, in the U.S, view, have acted illegally. facilities needed. These plans were submitted to the board of county commissioners early this month with the request that the county act under the provisions of house bill 438 passed by the 1961 Kansas legislature. This enables the county to authorize by resolution bonds to finance additions to the hospital providing they do not exceed the original tonds issued to build the hospital. The original lionds amounted to $360, 000.

Tiie proposed issue is $275,000, well within the limits, and could be retired in about 10 years with a one mill levy. The bonds will be authorized unless protest petitions signed by 1,840 eligible voters are presented within 60 days. The law states that to be binding the protest petitions shall be signed by one quarter as many citizens as voted for governor in 1960. A total of 7,359 votes were cast for Anderson and Docking. Charles Gray, administrator of the hospital, said this morning that the institution must be expanded if it is to provide adequate service.

According to the standards of the State Board of Health a hospitals patient load should seldom exceed 80 per cent of its capacity. But for the past year and longer, the local institution has seldom been below 80 per cent occupancy.

In the hour preceding the new show of force, the U.S. Army brought up six jeeploads of steel-helmeted military police armed with M14 automatic rifles and wearing bulletproof vests.

Behind them came 10 American tanks and 4 armored personnel carriers. Three of the tanks moved right up to the crossing point. Seven stood back. A company of police also was commandant in Berlin was turned back earlier in the day when he tried to enter the Eastern sector on official business. He made it on the second try, after changing from civilian clothes to uniform.

The American, Irwin Firestone, was in civilian clothes the first time. He refused to show identification papers to East German police. A spokesman said he was en route to deliver a message to the Soviet commandant in Berlin, Col. Andrei I. Solovyev.

The attempt by the East Germans to tighten controls over Allied traffic is considered so serious that the U.S. commandant, MaJ. Gen. Albert Watson II. asked Washington for instructions.

On his first trip. Firestone was accompanied in a U.S. Army sedan by an officer and soldier in uniform. In the past, cars with uniformed drivers have been waved through by East Berlin police. Firestone went back to West Berlin, put on his uniform.

He was allowed then to proceed. During the morning several other official U.S. Army staff sedans had passed in and out of the East sector without a hitch. But a French car bearing official number plates turned back rather than submit to an identity (Continued on Page 6. No.

He declared that he and Rusk agreed that the two world powers should find a way to make war impossible. The secretary of state told me that we all understand that neither Khrushchev, nor Kennedy want to go down in history as the leaders who provoked a world catastrophe in the second half of the 20th Century, Gromyko said. I replied that if we can succeed in solving on a basis acceptable to both of our governments the questions concerning the liquidation of the remnants of the Second World War, this will be great contribution to peace.

We think Kennedy and Khrush chev must be the presidents in a period in which war becomes im possible, that is to say at a decisive turning point in history. The whole world would be grateful to Kennedy and Khrushchev for that, Gromyko said.

The hospital is now over loaded and there are many indications that it will be used more and more in the years ahead, Cray says. Space must be provided for this anticipated Increase in patient load. A third factor considered by the hospital trustee, Gray says, is the need to meet emergencies. With the hospital as full as it now is, the institution would have difficulty caring for the injured should the area be hit by a tornado or should a number of people be injured in an accident. The board proposes to build a wing on the east side of the present building, and facing Second street.

The prize, worth $48,300, is The days main incident at the checkpoint began when an Ameri Can. driving a blue sedan with U.S. Army license plates, drove up unescorted seeking admittance to East Berlin. The East German police refused to admit him un- less he identified himself, and he declined to do that.

It was plain the unidentified American had been sent up to the border as a further test of the rights American authorities claim for movement about the city. When the driver came back, three U.S. Army jeeps, carrying American Military Policemen joined him for another try. The East German police stood aside to let this military group and the sedan go by. After convoying the sedan into East Berlin the military policeman withdrew, and the sedan cruised around alone in the Communist-controlled sector.

East German police stopped the car when alongside again and brought the car safely back. American tanks at the border were revving up their motors, meanwhile. Then the East Germans, backed up by a show of 50 or more of their Vopos (peoples police) prepared to erect a heavy chain across the frontier. "We are closing the border until this nonsense stops, an officer of the East German police said. The sedan placed itself between the returning jeeps and the convoy came back into West Berlin After the incident, the border crossing point was closed by the East Berlin police.

The East Berlin police brought up to the crossing point two armored personnel carriers with helmeted East German police.

By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP)- With the White House silent, four Senate Democrats struck back today against an attack by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Kennedy administration fiscal policies and the Peace Corps. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said Eisenhower was engaging in campaign oratory when he said in New York Tuesday that the administrations budget policies are shrinking dollars and that the Peace Corps is a juvenile experiment. When -the former president talked about deficits in his purely political speech," Mansfield said, he should have been reminded that in one year during his administration the nation had the highest peacetime deficit in its history, $12.5 billion. I am glad he is willing to ad mit that the nation has attained a state of prosperity.

I hope he recalls that when President Ken nedy took over from him we were in a state of recession." Mansfield said Congress had given its overwhelming approval to establishment of the Peace Corps. He added that he hopes it will be given an opportunity to prove its worth before it is condemned for purely political reasons. Sen. Philip A. Hart, said in a separate interview he was disappointed that Eisenhower would express critical opinions about the Peace Corps.
