Strengthened By
Visit To Berlin
WASHINGTON (AP) Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson
brought back to President Ken
nedy today a report that the free
world's bonds have been strength
ened by his 36-hour visit to West
Berlin.
The presidential j et touched
down at nearby Andrews Air
Force Base alter a 7 hour, 45

Despite the bad weather and the
arduous and dramatic weekend
journey, Johnson seemed in good
spirits.
Johnson had flown earlier from
Reds Tighten
Barricades
In E. Berlin
BERLIN (AP) Communists
tightened their barricades around
West Berlin a bit more today in
the wake of Vice President Lyn
don B. Johnson's visit. British
troops turned out to keep watch
on one wire-stringing job at the
zonal border.
British headquarters was espe
cially interested in Red opera
tions at Staaken. A main highway
from West Berlin heads across
Communist-ruled east Germany
near Staaken to Hamburg, West
Germany. About two miles away
is a small grass airfield occasion
ally used by Soviet and East
German air forces.
A company of British infantry
men and four tanks deployed
along a two-mile front there. Maj.
Gen. Sir Rohan Delacombe, the
British commandant, went out for
a personal look at the activity of
the workers and their guards,
Red police and militiamen, who
labored in a drizzling rain. Six
Red armored personnel carriers

Delacombe told reporters he be
lieved the Communists "are
strengthening their wire to pre
vent further escapes" as they
have been doing along the city
border between East and West
Berlin. ....
British officers said the Com
munists are building an extra
barbed wire fence about six feet
behind one that had been there
for years and apparently intend
ed to fill the gap with coils of
barbed wire.
A battalion commander, Lt. col.
Malcolm Sherman, said the Brit
ish infantrymen and tanks were
brought out after reports were re
ceived that several hundred Com
munist militiamen and the per
sonnel carriers had been observed
along the border.
This is the first time such a
deployment of Western troops had
been announced publicly in the
current crisis. However, British
soldiers turned out as a precau
tion during German rioting at the
Brandenburg Gate last week.

"Without it, you won't get

Youth Confesses
Slaying Of Boys
NEW YORK (AP) A 17-year-old
youth, one of a dozen children
of a Puerto Rican family, was
charged today with the murder
of two Brooklyn boys. He stabbed
them 55 times in a fit of sexual
frenzy, polico said.
The confessed slayer, Israel
Santiago of Brooklyn, a 5-1, 185-
pound weightlifter, showed no re
morse as he sloshed tnrougn a
predawn rain to re-enact' the
crime for police in a weedy
marshland in the Canarsie sec
tion of Brooklyn.
Only once did he break down
when he spotted a buddy out
side a police station who had ac
companied him to the marshland
but who he swore was not present
when he killed the boys.
"Don't tell my mother noth
ing," Santiago shouted at the pal,
who was not held. Then he broke
into tears.
Raymond V. Martin, assistant
chief inspector, quoted Santiago
as saying "I'm not sorry" for
killing Augustin Trinidad Jr., 13,
and Jaime Luis Ruiz, 9, last
Tuesday.
The story told by Santiago at
the scene and in his confession
"jibes exactly with the facts as
we know them," Martin said.
Those facts, he said, indicated
that Santiago and Herman Rosa,
15, went to the marshland as
they often did. Santiago sent Rosa
for cigarettes and, spotting the
two boys playing there, tried to
commit an unnatural sex act with
Augustin.
When the boy resisted, Santi
ago knocked him down, tore off
his clothes, bound him hand and
foot and stabbed him 25 times
with a kitchen paring knife, Mar
tin said.
Jaime ran for help but, unable
to find any, returned and flailed
at Santiago with his suspenders.
Santiago easily overpowered the
boy, tied him up with the sus
penders and stabbed him 30
times, Martin added.
London Daily Raps
Action Of Minister
LONDON (AP) Lord Beaver
brook's Daily Express today cau
tioned a Philadelphia minister
against trying to collect about
270.000 pounds $756,000 for a
church fence the Redcoats broke
down during the American Revo
lution. The Rev. Joseph Kocl Jr. of
Philadelphia presented the bill to
Chancellor of the Exchequer Sel
wyn Lloyd. The Episcopal min
ister asked for the cost of the
fence plus interest for 183 years.
"But suppose the British gov
ernment were to submit a bill to
the United States for the cost
plus interest of protecting the
American settlers from the red
Indians in the years before the
War of Independence?" asked the
Express editorially.
"That would make a nasty hole
in the vaults at Ft. Knox," Ky.
The editorial concluded with
this advice: "It does not pay to
dabble with history, Mr. Koci.
Just stick to reading it."
Beaverbrook's newspaper may
have brushed aside the minister's
I claim, but the British treasury
took it more seriously.

Tunisia Asks Allies For Help To Oust French
Appeal Made
At Special
U.N. Meeting
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)
Tunisia today appealed to the
United States and France's other
Western allies to join in support
ing U.N. action to get French
troops out of Tunisian territory.
The appeal was made by Tu
nisian Delegate Mongi Slim at a
special session of the U.N. Gen
eral Assembly. France boycotted
the meeting.
Slim led off the debate after 32
countries had submitted a formal
proposal that the 99-nation assem
bly call on France to negotiate
for withdrawal of all her troops
from Tunisia, including the big
naval base at Bizerte.
The Tunisian delegate urged
the Western powers to forget that
France is a member of the West
ern camp and to join with the So
viet Union as they did last year
in the Congo debate when they
demanded withdrawal of Belgian
forces.
The assembly convened at 11
a.m. and got down to business
quickly. Frederic H. Boland of
Ireland, president of the last reg
ular assembly, was chosen with
out opposition to preside.
The session was called to deal
with the "grave situation in Tu
nisia" after the Security Council
deadlocked on steps to end the
French-Tunisian dispute.
The sponsors of the resolution
included 31 countries from Africa
and Asia plus Yugoslavia.
The resolution calls on France
to withdraw her troops occupying
Bizerte. lt also calls on France
and Tunisia to open negotiations
immediately on the withdrawl of
all French forces from Tunisian
territory. .
Rusk Says Allies
To Stay In Berlin
WASHINGTON (AP)-Secretary
of State Dean Rusk sayi the West
ern allies "will not be pushed out
of West Berlin."
While making this declaration
Sunday night on the NBC-TV in
terview program "Meet the
Press," Rusk emphasized trying
to find a peaceful solution to the
Berlin crisis.
"Wo do expect," he said, "that
negotiations will take place on this
matter. Just when and where will
be determined by consultation
among governments, including the
government of the Soviet Union.
But negotiations will occur."
He said he did not yet know
how, when or where such negotia
tions would be conducted. "For
perfectly obvious reasons," Rusk
said, "It is not possible to talk
about the details" of any propo
sals the Western allies might
make.
Rusk did not rule out the possi
bility of a summit meeting over
Berlin. But, if there is one, he
said, there should be full prepar
ation so that it can be successful.
Rusk was asked if the West
would fight if there were any in
terference with access to West
Berlin.
"I think at this point," Rusk
replied, "it is better for us to con
centrate on the vital interests and
say that we want to protect those
vital interests by peaceful means
if possible."
Rusk defined the "vital inter
ests" of the Western allies as:
"the presence of the West in West
Berlin, the freedom and security
of that city, its ability to live, its
physical access to the rest of the
world."

Big Fire Hits
In New Jersey
WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) A
general alarm fire raged over
half a mile of the Hudson River
waterfront today. Fire depart
ment officials said the blaze
caused mora than a million dol
lars damage.
The fire apparently started at
the New York Central Railroad
abandoned 42nd St. ferry, officials
said. The lirst alarm was re
ceived at 3:15 a.m.
Forty-five minutes later, the
huge ferry terminal, adjoining
docks, and several nearby freight
sheds and boxcars had been re
duced to a glowing pile of crack
ling timber. Flames could be
seen from the center of Manhat
tan on the New York side of the
river.
The terminal building covered
almost a full city block. It was
a one-story, shed-type frame
building. It had been abandoned
about four years ago, when the
New York Central eliminated pas
senger service on that line.
Four hundred firemen from 12
departments in Hudson and Ber
gen counties were joined by fire
boats from New York City and
the Coast Guard in fighting to
contain the blaze. It burned for
three hours before being brought
under control.
During the fire, six trucks were
recalled to West New York, N.J.,
just north of Weehawken, where
a fire destroyed three piers at an
estimated Sl-million loss Friday
night.
A light but steady drizzle
not heavy enough to help quench
the flames hampered the fire
men at the terminal.
James Woodcock, 42, received
minor bums on his arms and
hands while he was assisting fire
men.
Twelve persons were injured at
the fire in West New York Fri
day, none seriously.
Ralph Cinque. 19, has been
missing since the blaze. Police
said he leaped into the river when
he was threatened by flames.
The West New York fire razed
three piers, a boat repair yard,
two buildings and a dozen barges.
