Kennedy's trek fhrwgfc Western street. 8 fJureps rtfs longest journey as President and it hit a high point during the first three Germany and Communist Berlin.

tt largely because of the President's success in winning massive displays of welcome from the German populace, and vincing statements of solidarity from German leaders, that he feels the trip was worth the ef fort. He made repeated appeals in Germany for greater European unity keyed to closer cooperation with the United States. In some quarters here and abroad there have been fears that Germany might be preparing to cast her lot with France and De Gaulle's controversial goal of an independent Europe free of close ties with America. Although the Franco-Germai rapprochement is a reality, and one applauded by Kennedy, the reception given the President in Germany that the good will of the United States stil has a great potency in that country. This fact presumably has no been lost on De Gaulle and his neighbors.

In even broader terms selitieians tmroghmft Western Sorttpe can hardly ignore the impact of Kennedy's repeated en home television screens repeatedly preaching the doctrine of Atlantic solidarity and cooperation. Furthermore. Soviet Premier Khrushchev could only have been dismayed by the evidence of strengthened American German unity. According to American sources, the German response to policy proposals pushed by eluding the idea of creating a multilateral nuclear force in the more enthusiastic than anticipated. The nuclear force concept, which can not become a reality until at least three nations accept it, also held some appeal for Italian leaders.

However, it got a rather cool reception during Kennedy's talks in Britain. All things considered, Kennedy came home convinced that the trip was worthwhile despite claims by some that it was a mistake to visit major nations where governments admittedly are in a state of flux. However, some who are close to Kennedy still believe his impact at home and abroad would have been greater had he flown back to Washington after his big receptions in Germany and Ireland.

STUDY ORDERED Sewerage Books Sought by City By JIM BEAM A move to transfer all accounting records of the First Sewerage district of Lake Charles to the city finance director was referred to a committee for study at today's regular city council meeting. Fran Battaglini, director of public works, said the transfer of the records would result in a $9,800 annual saving to the city. Councilmen A.

J. Lyons and Isreal LaFleur voiced the loudest opposition to the plan. Lyons said he. thought the problem need ed further study to determine if a saving would actually be made. Battaglini told of savings already made since the sewerage district came under control of the city's department of public works.

The $9,800 would be saved since a new office manager would not have to be hired and sewerage board books would be audited by the city auditor, Battaglini said. He said the office manager had been transferred. Mayor Al fred E. Roberts said the city auditor only charged $500 more to include the sewerage books. The city audit would be $4,000 in stead of $3,000 a year.

Lyons said there was no guar antee that the city finance de partment wouldn't hire additions secretaries to take care of the books. Arthur Burch, city finSne director, assured the council tha extra people wouldn't be and that the bookkeeping dutie wouldn't be seriously affected by ic transfer. Joe Alcede, member of the sewerage board, said he didn't know if any disadvantage to the city the books. He did say he city would be going back on is word by taking the books rom under the sewerage board's Alcede was referring to the louncil's decision to let the sewerage board continue to operate district although operation a city function on January 1 this year. Lyons said the recreation and ibrary boards had their own jookkeepers and felt the sewerage board should maintain the system under which it has operated.

SULPHUR (Spl.) A group of citizens protesting the location of a sewage disposal plant in their area has asked for another hearing before the Sulphur city council. In a letter ot Mayor J. Earl Koonce, Lee Roy Moresi, chairman of the East Sulphur Citizens Committee for Sanitation, asked (or time to be heard at the Monday, July 8, council meeting. Mayor Koonce said today that the city council meetings are open and everyone is welcome to attend. He said, "It has always been that way." Moresi, speaking for the committee, asked for time to discuss the "reasoning for locating the auxiliary sewage plant in their area and its effect on the interested parties and their property." The group asked the presence of Engineer Fred Smith of Baton Rouge at the meeting.

An attendance of 75 to 150 interested people was estimated by Moresi. The Sulphur city council previously refused to change the location of the treatment plant, contending that it would jeopardize the overall program and the obtaining of federal grant. Later, the council said it did not have enough money to pay costs involved in the changing of the and the Bible call "sin."

Previously announced for the state representative post are Prentice McKellar and Kirby F.

Battaglini said the savings he estimated would still be used by the sewerage board for special projects since the board got a fixed amount to operate on each year. Council President Arthur Moreno reminded the council that the department of public works supervised the sewerage district under terms of the charter and that any savings possible should be made. Councilman Jerry Harless said the city wasn't taking over the sewerage board under the plan. He emphasized that the board would have its financial statements each month as it has in the past. been signed.
