WASHINGTON' (AP) Con gressional leaders predict speedy approval of President Kennedy request for stand by power to call 150000 military reservists to ac tive duty if necessary to deal with a new East West crisis Coming Primary concern in high official quarters here centers on the pos sibility of new Soviet moves in Berlin But officials recognize that request may also be regarded in Moscow and Havana as a go slow warning for the mili tary build up in Cuba The President sent his request to Congress riday without any prior public hints of such action although the White House said the plan was discussed with Republi can and Democratic congressional leaders when they met with the President Tuesday for a fill in on Cuba This tie in with Cuba quickly created speculation that Kennedy and his top advisers may be more worried than they have appeared to be about the recent substantial deliveries of Soviet arms to the Castro regime 7 Whir informed officials kaid this was not the case although they said Kennedy would like to have the stand by power in the event of unexpected developments in the Cuban situation The more serious problem and the far greater dangeraccording to these informants lies inBerlin where there has steady build up of East West tensions In recent months'' Soviet Premier Khrushchev has made repeated threats to sign a sparate peace treaty with East Germany claim ing this would give the East Ger man regime power over Western access to West Berlin American officials are by no means certain what Khrushchev will do in the next few months while Congress is out of session Nor are they clear on what steps the Communists may take with 'respect to West Berlin if a peace treaty is signed soon But Kennedy Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Secretary of De fense 'Robert McNamara re portedly agreed that if would be important for the President to have additional resources of mili tary authority The new authority would run from the time Congress adjourns now expected some time next month until next eb 28 which would be about two months after the next session begins A little more than a year ago Kennedy asked Congress for sub stantial increases in the perma nent strength of the Army Navy and Air orce "and requested al so power to call reserve and guard units to active service Con gress approved his request in about five days and congressional leaders said riday they hope for similar swift action on his new appeal 1 1 I I farir TXTS?
