Youngsters Touched Several persons, including a few youngsters, touched the mysterious barrel before coast guardsmen arrived and sealed off the beach.

Av erell Harriman's report on his talk with Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev. Mansfield sent a telegram to Secretary of State Christian A. Herter Friday night asking that the Harriman report be made available to the Senate Foreign Relations committee and to all appropriate state department personnel. The report previously was "leased" to some newsmen. Its gist was carried Thursday by two newspapers, the New York Times and New York Herald Tribune. Demand Supported Mansfield's demand was supported by Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney (D-Okla.fc a former newspaperman, who said there should be "no exclusive release" of such information. Monroney said the Harriman report should be -made gener ally, available unless it con tains material which is classi fied. Mansfield told United Press International he also saw no reason why the public should not know about parts of the former New York governor's private report that did not deal with national security. Mansfield said he was dis turbed at the department's stand that the document could not be made public because of Harriman's private contract with a news syndicate for pub lication on his accounts of his travels.

The Washington Evening Star, reported Friday that it had contacted Harriman in Bonn, Germany, and that he denied that Khrushchev bad been tough in his discussion of Berlin and .other East-West is sues. The Star quoted Harriman as saying that the reports "didn't come from me. They sound like a botched-up leak from the state department.
