Bill on Education WESHINGTON (UPI)-It woifjd be "tragic" if Congress votes funds for schools crowded by children of federal employes but ig nores the rest of President Kennedy's school aid program, according to Welfare Secretary Abraham Ribicoff. However, Ribicoff Sunday avoiding saying whether he would recommend that Kennedy veto any separate legislation renewing the popular aid to "impacted areas school districts crowded by children of Civil Service and military workers. Last week the Senate Labor and Welfare Committee approved a one-year extension of the program, and some administration backers said it spelled the end of the remainder of Kennedy's school program. Ribicoff said on a national ra dio-TV program that "it would be tragic just to take care of those people who have need in impacted areas." Chairman Adam 1 a LJ Powell, D-N of the House Education Committee had quoted Kennedy saying he would veto any separate bill extending the impacted areas program. An effort is being made in th House to combine aid to impacted areas with the administrations program for college construction and scholarships.

However, that would still leave a lot of the Ken nedy program bottled up in the House Rules Committee. Mrs. Jane I. Brooks Klingerstown RD Woman Expires 1 Mrs. Jane' L.

The vital question is are they hungry enough and bitter enough to go bare handed to the barricades where Russian tanks will have them in their gun siithls? 1 Revolted Before The did it once before. On June 16, 1953, the Communists an nounced a speed-up in the Ger man factories under their control Everybody would have to work harder to produce more units in the same working hours. Three thousand in East Berlin went dn strike. The next day thousands turned to demonstrat ing in the streets, demanding the end of the Russian occupation. The East Berlin force lost control of the strikers, and the Russians wheeled up tanks.

Nineteen dem onstrators were killed and 128 wounded. The situation today is the same as it was in 1953. The West could not intervene physically then witn out risking war, and it cannot do so today. What effect an Allied diplomatic protest will have depends on how Nikita Khrushchev views the situation inside the framework of the entire cold war. This Week's Emeraency Physician Dr.

Tanks In Position Eight tanks were in position near the Friedrichstrasse Station of the city's elevated The Communists fired a warn ing shot at a West Berlin police man near the border, but he was unharmed. West Berliners pressed so hard against restraining ropes on the border that they broke. They screamed jibes like swine and "why don't you dig potatoes" at the Red people's police, called "Vopos." West Berlin police shoved the crowd back and barred the area. U. S.

Army helicopter patrolled above the border. At one point, an angry Vopo of ficer marched to the center of the street, drew himself to attention, and shouted to a UPI photographer and a reporter: "You are standing on the territory of the free city of Berlin, It is forbidden to take photographs of military subjects. Then he yelled at a West Berlin policeman to. order the UPI men back. The West Berliner grinned and refused.

Communications from West Berlin to West Germany were not affected by the latest Communist move. The Red regime years ago cut all telephone communications betwen East and West Berlin. But, until today, it had been possible to telephone from West Berlin to East Germany. Cite Provocations The East German interior minister said the Brandenburg Gate was being closed "temporarily" because, of Western "provocations," a reference to West Berliners demonstrations against the travel ban. The Berlin developments had widespread repercussions.

Among them: President Kennedy flew back to Washington from his weekend vacation retreat at Hyannis Port, to consider further Ameri can moves in the situation. West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano the American, British and French ambassadors met for an hour in Bonn and agreed that the new Communist border moves in Ber lin were "very serious." Preparing Sharp Protest The United States. Britain and France were reported preparing to file a sharp protest to the Soviet Union against closing cne Benin borders, where the number of crossing points was cut from 80 to 12. A number of members of the West German Parliament flew into Berlin to study the situation first hand and to decide whether to call a special session this week on the crisis. Before the Brandenburg Gate was closed, the Communists had wheeled up three water cannon and re-doubled their show of armed might there.

But hundreds of angry West Berliners surged forward, whistling and shouting "swine," "why don't you dig potatoes," and "the Vopos (East German people's policemen) must go as the Red reinforcements came up. Restraining hopes broke under the pressure. West Berlin police squads pushed the crowd back to prevent a major incident, Troops On Alert The 11,000 American, British and French troops the Berlin garrisons were placed on full alert. An estimated 3,000 workers of the West Berlin electrical firm AEG marched from their factory through the center of the city.

Reuther said the Big Three firms, on the other hand, "have failed to demonstrate any willing ness to meet the compelling prob lems of their workers and to date have made no proposals."

Foreign Aid Issue Before Congress WASHINGTON (UPD-Foreign aid was the subject of debate in both houses of Congress today with leaders hoping to complete action on President Kennedy's program by the end of the week. The House was set to begin debate over its $4.5 billion bill while the Senate resumed consideration of its $4.3 billion version of the same measure. A group of liberal Republican senators pressed their demands for a concession on the most controversial feature of the President's proposal long term borrowing authority for the President to finance development loans.

The Republican group, headed by Sens. Leverett Saltonstall, and Kenneth B. Keating, provided the necessary votes in a test last week to keep the loan program alive. But the GOP senators still insist on some congressional con trol over the loan program. A compromise was expected that would give congressional ap propriations and foreign policy committees an advance look probably 30 days at any loan of more than $10 million.

This would give them a chance to pro test but no actual veto author ity. Japan Rejects (Continued from Page One) a treaty when Russia was pur suing a peaceful policy towards Japan. Kosaka said they exchanged frank opinions on the treaty but he did not go into details. He said the talks generally steered away from international subject i such as the Berlin question, but did touch on disarmament. He said Mikoyan complained that Japan voice in the disarma ment talks was too small.

Kosaka said he exolained that Japan oniy had a small armed force and fe't the disarmament issue should pursued ny countries with larger armed forces, such as the Sovu' Union.

The Communists, again under direct Warsaw Pact orders, were careful not to interfere with traf fic or communications between West Berlin and West Germany-separated by 110 miles of Com munist territory. The harsh restrictions, begun early Sunday morning, werif aimed solely at plugging the hole through which more than 150,000 Germans have fled from east to west this year, seriously jeopar dizing the Fast German economj and the prestige of the whole Communist bloc.

Sunday the Communist forces used tear gas, smoke bombs, high pressure water cannon and clubs to break up groups of jeer ing East Berliners. They even lobbed tear gas bombs across into the Ameri can sector at a crowd of booing West Berlin youths and than charged into the group with truncheons. Eyewitnesses a i they pulled one young West Ber liner back across the line with them. Tens of thousands of West Ber liners mocked the Red trooos from their side of the line. As dusk fell iunday night, about 30 000 of them waved lighted torches of hope for their countrymen liv ing the Red regime.

On the eastern side of hastily erected barbed wire barricades Red police, militiamen and troops charged flying wedges and threatened to fire on crowds at hostile East Berliners who shouted their defiance at the communist show of force.
