One of them tripped and ell over the edge. As he felt himself dropping to his death in the street below, he shouted "FREEDOM." The other was captured by the pursuing communist police. Let's put it this way: The one who died was the for tunate one. He joined the immor tal company of those who are ready to say with our Patrick Henry: "As for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH." The other poor devil was hus tled back to a communist jail. The Atlantic Monthly says that since the war, 25,000 people have died in East German political pris ons. It adds that there are still 10.000 prisoners in East German jails who were sentenced for poli tical crimes. What's a political crime? Well, in communist countries, FLEEING FROM COMMUNISM is a political crime. Somebody ought to explain that to these "neutral" countries that seem to lean always in the pinch es toward the communist side. In Washington, President Ken nedy vetoes a bill that would have given $60.8 million in annual pay raises to the 560,000 postal workers through changes in t h e longevity system. He says in a memorandum that accompanied his veto that budgetary needs are too urgent to permit approval of this measure, which was unac companied by revenue increases. Congress, he pointed out, did not pass the postal RATE increase he had recommended, and so the " pay increase bill -would have raised the postal deficit to more than 800 million dollars a year. That, he indicated in his veto memorandum, would be too much to be added to the annual deficit. It would, indeed. We already have nearly 300 BILLION dollars on the fed eral cuff. This vetoed bill would have added almost a billion dol lars every year to what is alrea dy there. Putting defense expenditures on the cuff is justifiable if it HAS TO BE DONE. But running up a deficit of almost a billion dollars a year for routine services of gov ernment such as carrying the mail can only be described as utterly indefensible extravagance. If continued long enough, such extravagance can lead only to na tional bankruptcy. Fire Danger Still 'High' By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The weekend surge of hunters moved through the woods of Ore gon today with fire danger high east of the Cascades but eased markedly in the west. Rain showers dampened wide areas of Western Oregon and there were traces of rain along the northern edge of the state at Pendleton and Baker, and in the south at Medford. But the prospect was that near ly all of Central and Eastern Oregon would remain dangerously dry. The doe season in designated areas for holders of unit permits opened Salurdav and forest offi cials viewed that as increasing the fire danger. There have been many fires ascribed to hunters since the deer season opened a week ago. The added influx for the doe season was expected to add to the threat unless more care in handling matches, cigar ettes and warming fires was shown.

Wo Kennedy, Gromyho W WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite a two-hour conference between President Kennedy and So viet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, the United States and the Soviet Union were reported still far apart today on ways of negotiating a peaceful settlement of the Berlin crisis. Informed officials here consider the East-West dispute over Ber lin still extremely dangerous. At Ford Strike Doubtful Over Weekend DETROIT (API -Malcolm L. Dcnise, Ford vice president-labor1 relations, said Saturday he con sidered a weekend settlement of the United Auto Workers Union strike against Ford doubtful. Dcnise made the comment as he returned to national level bar gaining sessions with UAW Presi dent Walter P. Reuther. Dcnise said an early settlement "is still possible" but strongly in dicated he did not expect it to happen. Reuther and Dcnise said they would review problems of local bargaining units and discuss un settled issues remaining in the noneconomic section of the nation al contract. Local 600 often called the big gest union local in the country appeared to hold a key to settle ment of the strike. The strike began Tuesday and has idled 120.000 production work ers at 88 plants in 26 states.

Zorin told reporters at a Sudanese reception here Friday night that if the General Assembly picks a successor to the i late Dag Hammarskjold without the council's prior recommenda tion. "Life will go very hard for that man."

Kennedy and the Soviet foreign minister discussed the situation in the Oval Room of the White House late Friday and wound up their talks shortly after 7 o'clock without issuing any kind of for mal statement. As he climbed into his limousine Settlement industrial complex in Dearborn, Mich. It contains 17 of the 85 bar- gaining units which have local working agreements with Ford, and 11 of the Rouge units are among 36 as yet not settled.

The union reported what it called substantial progress within Local 60S Friday when it reached agreements with three units at Ford's steel division the blast furnaces and coke ovens, the open hearth and the rolling mill. Among other vital locations still unsettled are the Cleveland, Ohio, foundry and engine plants and the1 Canton, Ohio, forge plant. A strike at Canton once forced a virtually complete shutdown of all; Ford assembly. Negotiations resumed on a na tional level Friday, with a three hour session, the first extended get-together since the strike began. No serious man, Zorin said, would take the job under those circumstances. His remarks came after one correspondent had said the Unite! States or its friends would pro pose that the assembly alone name a temporary secretary-gen eral unless there was U.S.-Soviet agreement that would first permit; in the veto-free action council. Earlier, informed diplomats said the United States is willing to have the choice originate n the council, provided it could get agreement with the Soviet Union on eliminating the danger of a Soviet veto.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who sat in on the discussion, merely called it interesting." Kennedy was understood to have told Gromyko in calm but very emphatic terms that the United States and its Western Al lies are fully determined to defend West Berlin against Com munist pressures, to preserve their right to maintain troops in the city, and to keep open the supply lines from West Germany. At one poult, referring to Rus sia s Berlin demands, Kennedy said the Soviet Union is trying to trade the United States "an apple for an orchard." He told Gromyko there would be no deal like that. Officials said the President meant that the Soviets are asking a lot and offering very little in return; they want to convert West Berlin into a "free city that is, free of the protection of Western troops while offering mainly un explained "guarantees" of West ern access to the city. Well-informed officials said to day that the Kennedy-Gromyko talk was dominated by Berlin but Doctor Accused Of Poisoning PORT ORCHARD, Wash.

But at the same time, a U.S. delegation spokesman told corres pondents the United States still believes "the General Assembly has full authority to appoint an interim secretary-general." The U.N.

But the U.S. informant said the assembly twice had made a tem porary appointment without the council picking Gladwyn Jebb of Britain in 1946 and extending the term of secretary-general Trygve Lie of Norway in last.

(AP-, Authorities are depending on re sults of an autopsy to clear up the mystery deaths of two University of North Carolina students in the dormitory room they shared. 'We can't give any diagnosis, acting Coroner George Cannady said Friday night. Cannady said it probably would be two or three days before the autopsy report is ready on the bodies of William Henry Harrison Johnson Jr., 24, and James Mi chael Barham, 21. The bodies, in their beds and dressed in night clothes, were! found Friday by a janitor whol went to their room to investigate when they (ailed to appear lor their jobs at the university dining hall. Johnson, from Statesville, was a graduate student in industrial relations. Barham, a junior, was from Burlington.

New Syria Recognized LONDON (API Damascus ra dio announced Saturday the So viet Union had recognized the new revolutionary government of Syr ia. The broadcast said Communist Bulgaria had also decided to rec ognize the Syrian regime, which took power after a bloodless re volt against Egyptian President Nasser in the United Arab Repub lic.

It. appears that the conference at the White House covered much of the same ground that had been covered by Gromyko and Rusk in a series of three meetings in New York in the previous two weeks. It was understood, moreover, that Gromyko still had not told U.S. leaders what Soviet Premier Khrushchev means exactly when he talks of guaranteeing Western access to West Berlin after he signs a peace treaty with Com munist East Germany. Khrush chev has said that the peace treaty will establish East German sovereignty over the supply lines from West Germany and that thereafter the Western powers must negotiate with the East German regime for use of the supply line. The White House discussion ended the first phase of U.S.-So- vict efforts to lay a basis for fu ture, formal negotiations on a Berlin settlement. So far as this phase is concerned, it obviously ended in failure to arrive at an agreement. However, officials said, it was too early to speak of failure in any broad sense since more "exploratory talks" . are expected. U.S. Considers Aid For Viet Nam WASHINGTON (APl-The Unit. ed States is considering sending U.S. troops to help South Viet Nam fight off Communist at tacks, expected to grow stronger when the rainy season ends later this month. U.S. officials consider South Viet Nam the main target of the Communist drive in Southeast! Asia. If the government of Presi dent Ngo Dinh Diem should fall. they say, Thailand, Malaya, Bur ma and Cambodia would be dan gerously weakened. High State Department sources revealed privately Friday that sending troops to South Vict Nam was under consideration. Press officer Joseph Reap, while not specifically confirming this, did not rule it out. In answer to questions, Reap said: "In view of the serious situ ation there, due to increasing Communist attacks against gov. ernment defense units, we are considering various means of as4 sisting the Viet Nam government against Communist eflorLs to take over the country.
