In Panama or Colombia
U. S. Studies New Canal
WASHINGTON The United States ha
sounded out Panama and Colombia about a
atudy of sites in those two countries for a
possible new Atlantic-Pacific ship canal, it
was learned Thursday.
Experts say the Panama Canal, built in
1903, will become obsolete or so jammed with
traffic by 1980 that a new canal will be
needed.
Auguslo Guillermo Arango, ambassador of
Panama, and Carlos Sanz de Santamaria. am
bassador of Colombia, were called to the State
Department this week to be told that the
Kennedy administration plans to ask Congress
for authority to make the canal studies. Once
that is obtained, the two governments will be
asked for formal authorization to make the
urvcys.
A bill asking congressional authority for
studies in Panama and Colombia, and also to
determine if it would be practical to increase
the capacity of the present canal, has been
under scrutiny of the Budget Bureau.
President Roberto Chiari of Panama was
In Washington last week and told newsmen
he and President Kennedy talked about pos
sible new canal sites, but not in detail.
At one time, government engineers also
considered Nicaragua and Mexico's isthmus

of the Associated Prcif
as possible canal sites, but the proposal to
be sent Congress has been construed to mean
that Panama and Colombia offer the most
promising sites.
Panama has two potential places for new
canals, both between the present canal and
the Colombian border. One would begin on
the Atlantic side at the sheltered Gulf of
San Bias, connect with a major river about
midway across the isthmus, and follow it to
the Pacific. The othei would start on the
Atlantic side and tie into the Sabana River
and end in another protected area, the Gulf
of San Miguel,
The Colombian site, near the Panama bor
der, would utilize the Atrato and Truando
rivers to cross a land area of about 90 miles,
against about 50 miles for the Panama sites.
The present canal is 40 miles long.
All three sites, one informed source said,
would lend themselves to the idea of a sea
level canal, which would eliminate the need
for the costly locks system used in the Pana
ma waterway and speed transits through the
canal.
Erom 1951 to 1961 cargo moved through
the Panama Canal increased from 31.3 million
tons to 65.2 million, and the number of cross
ings hv ocean going vessels rose from 5,593
to 10,866.
Indonesians, Dutch
May Resume Talks
. WASHINGTON (UPP Diplo
matic officials said Thursday
the United Stales had proposed
that Indonesia and The Nether

next Tuesday on the future of

They said the way appeared
to have been cleared for talks
on the long-standing and bitter
dispute by United Nations Act

American officials said Thurs
day a large-scale Chinese Com
munist buildup on the const op
posite Qucmoy and Mntsu may
be in preparation for an attack
against the two Nationalist-held
islands.
On the other hand, they said,
the Red troop movement could
be a defensive move sparked by
recurring Chinese Nationalist
threats to attempt an Invasion
of the mainland, which General
issimo Chiang Kai-shek Inst 13
years ago.
Troops Move
Officials said intelligence re
ports during the past two weeks
disclosed a large-scale move
ment of ground troops into l-'u
kien Province near Qucmoy and
Matsu. The two islands arc just
a few miles from the mainland
but 100 miles east of Chiang's
stronghold of Formosa.
Some officials said they fell

Intelligence officials gave

they said the buildup appeared
to be considerably larger than

Current intelligence reports
do not mention any great build

area as in 1958. Nor is there
any mention of landing craft

fication the Bunker plan for
settlement.
This plan, formulated by re
tired U. S. diplomat Ellsworth
Bunker, provides for transfer of
sovereignty over the territory
from The Netherlands to Indo
nesia over a two-year period.
Dutch officials there would be
replaced by U.N. administrators
who, in turn, would be succeed
ed by Indonesians.
The Dutch announced last
Sunday they accepted the plan
"in principle." But Sukarno
asked Thant Wednesday for
specific new assurances that
The Netherlands agreed to a
provision calling for a self-determination
plebiscite of the
native Papunas only after In
donesia gained, control. '
Thant replied Wednesday
night that The Netherlands ac
cepted the entire plan "without
qualification. "
Bunker, who presided as me
diator at meetings here last
March between Dutch and Indo
nesians, again will serve in that
enpacity. The secret talks again
will be held at a nninlry estate
a few miles from Washington.

West Berlin
Police Told
To Fire Back
BERLIN OJPI) West German
police Thursday were under or
ders to return Communist fire
from across the Berlin wall and
to continue to give refugees
fleeing to the West covering
fire if necessary.
This policy was spelled out
hy West Berlin Mayor Willy
Brandt who told a Social Demo
cratic meeting Wednesday
night:
"We cannot tell our police of
ficials: "It someone shoots at
you stay calm or wave with a
handkerchief."
"One can still say that mur
der is murder," he said. "Our
conscience doesn't permit that j
even children can be killed at
the wall."
Brandt said Communist shoot
ing at refugees violates the
Hague conventions of war and
German law.
The East German Communists
charged Wednesday night that
recent incidents along the East
West Berlin city horder now
have reached the stage of "ag
gressive acts."
An East German government
declaration published by ADN,
the official news agency, said
so-called "provocations" on the !
part of West Berlin "are aggres- J
sive acts aimed at dangerously j
increasing tensions in Germany I
and the world and delaying ;
vital understanding on the Ger
man peace settlement and solu
tion of the Berlin problem."
The Communists protested
the shooting by West Rerlin po
lice one month ago of a Com
munist horder guard who was
firing at a 12-year-old boy swim
ming to freedom.
