He arrived from Paris in a U.S. Air Force crossing Communist East Germany through the south corridor. Rusk left Paris after talks with French President Charles de Gaulle and other French officials which reportedly convinced him that De Gaulle will put future nuclear striking force at the disposal of the Western defense plans.

From Berlin, Rusk will fly to Bonn for talks with West German leaders. A government spokesman said that in preparatory talks Konrad Cabinet had attained complete unity on all questions relating to the political unification (rf Europe.

Hardly a has gone by without a shooting at or near the wall or around the barbed wire borders separating East Germany and We.st Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, symbol of unity for the Germans and now walled in by the Communists, was the scene of a shooting early today.

Berlin police said East police fired 30 to 40 shots near the famed gate. Two flares went up behind the wall. West police said they believed the East guards were for a refugee. In East BerUii, a funeral was hdd this morning for a 20-year-old guard shot Monday during the escape of four East Berliners through a timnel to West Berlin. East Germany threatened that would follow future Western on the Red wall.

The East German statement accused West German leaders of inciting provocations, armed attacks, arson, explosions, shootings and comnwn along the border. It said the West- em Allies responsibility because erf their occupation role in Berlin. Rusk held a third and final meeting with French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville today before his flight to Berlin. Rusk, who is making a tour of West European capitals in an ef fort to clanfy major problems within the alliance, appeared confident that some measure of progress had been made with France on the question of that independent nuclear force. 5 More Face Heariuffs On Tax Affidavits filed Wednesday in Municipal Court against five East End residents, alleging they neglected aiKi re- fu.sed” to file estimates of anticipated 1961 earnings with the city income tax department before the deadline April 15 of last year.

Smith iisten.s to the clicking of a (ieiger counter as he holds the probe near a vial containing radium which was turned over to police and firemen Wednesday afternoon by Pleasant Heights youths who saw the object glowing in a woodpd area near their Francis St. homes Tuesday night. Smith is the lone patrolman, who with 11 firemen, recently completed a radiation training course conducted here. The Geiger counters were loaned by the federal government to Asst Fire Chief Alfred Van Dme, the certified in.slructor. How a vial of radioactive ma- tena! turned up in East Liverpool remained a mystery today as firemen and police were without clues to the source of the radium found by five Pleasant Heights youngsters.

The youngsters, who found the small t'ontainer in a wooded area near their homes Tuesday night, and a city police officer, who hardled the object, apparently were not exposed to any radiation beyorxi the allowable limits. FIREMEN took the vial to the Shippingport atomic power plant late yesterday afternoon where it w'as learned the container had not been cracked and there was no leakage. How'ever, authorities there declined to return it, declaring they would dispose of it to eliminate the possibility of having tbe vial cracked.

Authorities reported a virtually 100 per cent return to work in all vital services trf the city. For the first time in months, the streets were cleaned of piles of garbage. A number of Moslems also returned to work in private companies.

Several restaurants reopened and movie theaters advertised new films. Moslem auxiliary policemen were being gradually put to work in European areas.

With the curfew lifted in Algiers, several hundred Europeans set up camp beds and garden chairs to keep an all-night vigil outside an airline office. For them the halt in terrorism in Algiers was too fragile to build any plans on. The Moslem majority is expected to vote for an independent Algeria in a territorial referendum July 1.

Authorities in Oran said 60,000 Europeans have left the city in the past 20 days. At the start of the year the European populatimi of Oran was about 200.000 that a new canal will be needed. Augusto Guillermo Arango, ambassador of Panama, and Carlos Sanz de Santamaria, ambassador of Colombia, were called to the State Department this week be told that the Kennedy administration plans to ask Congress for authority to make the canal studies. Once that is obtained, the two governments will be asked for formal authorization to make the surveys. A bill asking congressional authority for studies in Panama and Colombia, and also to determme if it would be practical to increase the capacity of the present canal, has been under scrutiny of the Budget Bureau.

President Roberto Chiari of Panama was in Washington last week and told newsmen he and President Kennedy talked about possible new canal sites, but not in detail. At one time, government engi neers also considered Nicaragua and isthmus as possible canal sites, but the proposal to be sent Congress has been construed to mean that Panama and Colombia offer the most promising sites. Panama has two potential places for new canals, both between the present canal and the Colombian border. One would begin on the Atlantic side at the sheltered Gulf of San Bias, connect with a major river about midway across the isthmus, and follow it to the Pacific. The other would start on the Atlantic side and tie into the Sabana River and end ui another protected area, the Gulf of San Miguel.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. officials are beginning to face up to the hard reality that France is determined to build its own nuclear weapons force whether they like it or not. They are, therefore, becoming increasingly concerned with ways of eventually diverting the French effort into a new NATO nuclear weapons partnership for which the United States itself would have to make some concessions.

The problem of breaking the nuclear weapons deadlock within the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance has dominated the consultations held by Secretary of State Dean Rusk with President Charles de Gaulle and other French leaders in Paris. If De Gaulle and President Kennedy meet later this year, as Pans reports suggest is possible, it will undoubtedly be to; try to find a solution to this prob-: lem. I Indications of the new U.S. proach were disclosed in a speech on nuclear weapons strategy that Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara made last Saturday at the University of Michigan.

McNamara declared it is an urgent need, possibly involving the survival of Western civilization, diat NATO countries agree on the coordination of targeting selection of targets against which a nuclear attack would be direct-! ed in event of all-out the circumstances under which nuclear weapons would be employed. speech was sharply critical of the French plan to create a national nuclear though he did not mention France; by name.

Action Slated On Plans For Dirt Streets I.owcoM Surfacing Would Be Tried On 2 Miles At Start A special Council meeting is tentatively for Monday night to put machinery ui motion for lowcost surfacing of at least two miles of dirt streets with a split of the price between the city and property- owners. If public response warrants, the program will be expanded to treat up to eight miles of about half of the total un.surfactd thoroughfares in the entire city four councilmen decided in a 90-minute conference Wednesday night. The councilmen met to work out ways of financing a program propostHl to the city June by Ohio Tar A.sphalt, of Canton for application of a so-called bituminous surface consisting of three applications of liquid asphalt, along with slag or other aggregate for a binder.

As the cost of the treatment is e.stimated at approximately $4,000 a mile. Council agreed last night to consider legislation Monday providing to treat two miles of streets with a 50-50 split of the cost between the city and property owners. The share will be r- rowed on short term notes against anticipated receipts from the income tax. If the public response warrants, the city will be in a position to double the size of the program by appropriating an additional $4,000, according to Councilman George E. Willshaw, chairman of the finance committee.

That would mean treating a total of four miles of streets, enough to allow surfacing of one mile in each of the four wards. The Canton concern told the councilmen last week the treatment will cost less than 50 cents Fired Chief Clerk Held Responsihle Bolierta C.
