The East German police closed the Friedrichstrasse crossing, but reopened it when calm was restored. U.S. tanks provided a backdrop for the convoy across the dividing line but were withdrawn later.

The situation flared up and died down, in less than an hour. in Washington it has instructed Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson to protest to the Soviet government against interference with allied official visits to East Berlin, and to insist that Soviet authorities 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 Friedrichstrasse crossing, known as "Checkpoint Charlies" to GIs, went back to normal and was again open to traffic by nonGermans. 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 The United States, White said. wants the Soviet authorities to resume their active day-to-day responsibility over control of Allied traffic at the border crossing gate which remains available to Western officials in the Communist wall along the East Berlin frontier. 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 traffic to the East German police. Lacking agreement of the Western powers, the Soviets, in the U.S.

It was plain the unidentified American had been sent up to 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 (people's 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. Acompany of police also was marched up to the frontier and The Weather KANSAS Fair this afternoon, tonight and Friday: warmer north this afternoon and in northeast tonight; warmer over state Friday: southerly winds 25-35 mph west this afternoon; rather windy over state Friday; lows tonight in the 30s: highs Friday 70-75.

1) Eisenhower Remarks Stir Demos 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 administration's 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 admit that the nation has attained a state of prosperity.

I hope he recalls that when President Kennedy 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. "I think he has caused hurt to a lot of very sincere American young men and women who are showing a dedication to their tion that ought to be encouraged" Hart said.

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 party congress Wednesday that Soviet foreign policy demonstrates "flexibility and its striving to take account of the interests of the other parties to negotiations when they really seek an understanding." He gave no indication of a retreat in the Soviet position in the tense diplomatic stalemate, however, and he asserted once more that the Soviet Union will sign a separate peace pact with East Germany if negotiations with the West fail. The address marked first official public report on his recent talks with U.S.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk in New York and with President Kennedy in Washington. Gromyko was applauded repeatedly throughout the address, which appeared to be a major statement on Soviet foreign policy. 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 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 a great contribution to peace.

"We think Kennedy and Khrushchev must be the presidents in a period in which war becomes impossible, 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 foreign minister reiterated the Soviet government's adherence to a policy of peaceful coexistence with capitalist nations and added: "The victory between communism and capitalism will be decided by history and not by the Kremlin."

(AP -Bolstered by a thumping 75-10 vote of approval from the U.N. political committee, delegates pressed today for quick General Assembly action on an appeal to the Soviet Union to refrain from exploding a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb. Denmark, one of the eight sponsors of the appeal, asked that the General Assembly give top priority to the resolution which cleared the committee after a stormy day of Soviet opposition.

Only the nine-nation Soviet bloc and Cuba voted against the appeal. Mali abstained and 15 nations-10 of them from Africawere absent when the balloting took place.

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 bonds issued to build the hospital.

He added that while information still was lacking about fallout effects of the Soviet Union's big nuclear blast of last Monday, any significant hazard springing from the current Soviet test series probably would not arise until next spring.

Cemal Gursel, chief of the military junta that overthrew exPremier Adnan Menderes, was elected president of Turkey today.

A Leader of Minutemen Recalls Kennedy Appeal NORBORNE. Mo. DePugh, the 37-year-old maker of livestock medicines who heads the "Minutemen," says a speech by President Kennedy and a House Committee on unAmerican Activities show his guerilla fighters are needed.

Existence of the secret organization came to light over the weekend when DePugh and members of one of its cells staged guerilla training maneuvers, at Collinsville, near DePugh says 25,000 have joined the Minutemen since he and nine companions founded the organization in June of 1960. He said it is made up of bands of 10 to 15 and no individual knows more than 10 per cent of the membership. The rolls are kept -secret.

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 hospital's 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.

Its rated capacity is 42 beds. Yesterday the hospital had 49 patients. The solariums are now consistently used as bed rooms and at times beds are placed in the halls. The hospital is now over loaded and there are many indications that it will be used more and more in the years ahead, Gray says. Space must be provided for this anticipated increase in pa tient 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. It would be connected with the present structure. In addition to providing space for 48 beds, this wing would contain chapel, physical small therapy library, facilities, recreation 4 center, security rooms and needed storage space.

The structure and the changes proposed for the present building will be described in a later issue of the Register.

DePugh said the committee pointed out this was because the nature of the attack by the enemlies of the United States is designed to render conventional military forces ineffective. "Before anyone mocks us as a group of amateurs," DePugh said, "they should first inform themselves of the immense defensive potential of an armed, dedicated and patriotic civilian population."
