Ih The-
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
1 suppose you have read in the
news the tragic story of the two
East Germans who raced the oth
er day across the rooftops in a
desperate effort to win their way
to West Berlin. 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.

Dcnise said an early settlement

on nearby 16th Street, Gromyko
told newsmen the conversation
had been "useful." 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

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.
