The statements appeared on the surface to be good news for families split by the wall. But some feared the separate West In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS From Washington as this is written: The Johnson administration is now expected to seek several hundred million dollars for the opening round of a new attack on domestic poverty. How will it work? Let's risk a guess. These added hundreds of mil lions of dollars w ill in effect be printing press money because they will be added to the hun dreds of billions that we al ready owe. Bui, temporarily, the spending of them will cre ate an added demand for goods. For a while, there will be an illusion of new prosperity, be cause the production of the add ed supply of goods will create new jobs. But- Bccause of the added de mand for goods arising out ot the spending of the new supply of printing press money, prices will tend to rise. Because of the rise in prices, the time will soon arrive when the added sup ply of money will buy no more THINGS than the former small er supply of money would buy. So The shot in the arm will wear off quickly, and it will soon be necessary to provide another shot in the arm to create an other illusion of easy wealth for everybody. It works much the same as a shot of hooch. You take it. Maybe in the form of a shot in the arm, or a swallowed pill. For a while, you feel like a new person. It appears to you that there isn't ANYTHING you can't do. For a few hours, it's a won derful world you're living in. You're a wonderful person. You feel the urge to go out and conquer new worlds. begins to wear off. What to do? Well, you take another shot in the arm. And again you feel a rise in your spirits. This rise is for a shorter duration of time. It wears off quicker. But while it lasted, it was wonder ful. So you take another shot in the arm. And then still ANOTHER ONE. And so on. Y'ou keep it up. and in the course of time it no longer gives you a lift. What to do then? About all that re mains is to change your brand of shots and do it all over again. Eventually the time comes when you're a wreck. Tt works the same way with this business of infusing the economy with another s h o t of printing press money every time the economy begins to slow down. The world has had a lot of experience with shots in the arm. Both in the form of hasheesh and in the form of printing press money. Always, in the course of time it turns out to be a flop. Probing question: WHAT SHOULD WE DO? Epericnce points for us the moral that there is no such thine as something for nothing. If we could have something for nothing either in the form of dope or in the form of printing press money the time would have arrived long ago when we would all be lolling at our ease. In a world where there would be plenty for everybody to be had merely by reaching out and picking it up. Berlin-East German talks could undermine the city's legal posi tion and weaken lies to West Germany. Tlie Soviet Embassy in East Berlin announced Saturday it re fused to accept an American protest Friday against the Christmas Day murder by East German border guards of a young refugee. The Soviet ac tion was in line with the Com munist attempt to cut West Berlin's legal ties with tlie West ; and build up the Soviet concept ! of an independent, sovereign East Germany. More than 70.000 West Berlin ers used the Christmas passes Saturday to enter East Berlin to visit relatives and a city spokesman said the number Sunday might be as high as 150,000. The Communists made three different offers to conclude a new agreement to allow West Berliners to continue to pass through the wall after the pres ent holiday season agreement runs out Jan. S. A West Berlin spokesman said the city government "is Teady" to negotiate again with the East Germans. He ex pressed the hope an agreement would alleviate some of the in- Train Hits Car Killing KF Couple DORR IS - A Klamath Falls couple, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Crawford of 3204 Crest was killed Saturday morning when their 1952 sedan was hit by a slow moving Southern Pacific freight train here. Siskiyou County Sheriff's offi cers said Crawford, 77, w h o was driving, was killed instant ly. His wife, Celia Ann, 72, died minutes later at the scene of the mishap. The accident oc curred at 9: 15 a.m. Officers said Crawford, who was traveling south on High way 97, apparently stopped at the railroad crossing and then started up again just as the train arrived. The engineer, George Belskey, spotted the car seconds before the crash and hit his emergen cy brake but was unable to stop in time. The impact pushed the car about 45 feet, demolishing the vehicle. The train was going 30 to 35 miles per hour at t h e time. Sheriff's officers said a pass ing physician "did everything possible" to save Mrs. Craw ford, rendering aid on the scene. The bodies were taken to O'Hair's Memorial Chapel in Klamath Falls where funeral services are pending. SWEEPSTAKES WINNER This display, featuring life-sized figures of Mary, the Baby Jesus and Joseph, took top honors in the annual Jaycee-sponsored Christmas lighting contest.

The Communist offer to nego tiate a new pass agreement was made by Gerhart Eislcr, top East German propagandist, Deputy Premier Alexander Abusch and the official Com munist party newspaper Neues Deutschland. The American protest note was sent to Pyotr A. Ahrasi mov, Soviet ambassador lo East Germany, by Martin Hil lenbrand, charge d'affaires in Johnson And Erhard Open Talks On East-West Tensions, Tariffs JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPH President Johnson and West German Chancellor Ludwig Er hard opened talks in the com fort of the Johnson ranch house living room Saturday on East West tensions and European tariff barriers to American farm goods. Vowing to carry on the "great heritage" of President Kennedy and Chancellor Konrad Aden auer, the two newest Western leaders spent two hours in pri vate. They probed European Common Market tariff walls and such problems as Red-encircled Berlin. Erhard expressed anew his nation's sorrow over the assas sination of president Kennedy. Johnson, in a lunch toast, re ferred to "sorrow because of a great loss." Both men, new to their jobs, sounded a note of "new hope" for world peace and freedom and set right to work on their arrival at the LBJ ranch. While House press secretary Pierre Salinger said they went over a "wide range of subjects the current situation in Europe, in Berlin, and the general situ ation involving Germany." Confer With Advisers After lunch, Johnson and Er hard went into session w ith their advisers, including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and West Ger man Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroedcr. Rusk and Schroeder met separately during the morn ing. Johnson and Erhard. who rep resents a member of the six nation European Common Mar ket, took up the question of greater access to European markets for American farm pro ducts. "They discussed the strength ening of the Atlantic Alliance, Salinger said, "including mutual defense problems bi-Iateral as well as NATO problems." The private meeting gave Johnson and Erhard an oppor tunity to discuss such problems man-to-man. It also was a chance for the two chief executives to size up and get to know each other in the U.S. Embassy in the West German capital of Bonn. He was acting in the absence of Ambassador George McGhee who is in the United States. The embassy press attache said an American diplomat was turned away with the statement that the matter was outside the embassy's competence. The U.S. mission here admitted the fact the Russians refused to ac cept the protest only after the Soviet Embassy announced its refusal. the rural, home-like atmosphere of the ranch. Talk Through Sunday The talks continue through Sunday, when Erhard leaves for home. Johnson set the tone of the meeting: "It is our duty in these next two days." he told Erhard, "to discuss the great tasks of the future. "It is our good fortune to build on the work of .great men who have gone before to be gin our labor together. . ." The President said Germans and Americans stand "united against danger and strong in hope" for a solution to East West tensions. Tlie formality of the 19-guh welcoming ceremonies at Borg strom Air Force Base gave w ay to the comfort of the ranch af ter a helicopter ride that gave Johnson time to show Erhard the operation of his LBJ spread. Erhard flew into Bcrgstrom Air Force Base at Austin from Houston, where he spent the night after a 17-hour flight from Bonn. Formal Greeting Johnson formally greeted him as the military salute boomed, bands played the National An thems and a 200-man honor guard of airmen snapped to present arms.

DUGAS United Press International NICOSIA, Cyprus l'PI) British Commonwealth Relations Secretary Duncan Sandys arrived here Sat urday on an emergency peace mission sparked by re ports a Turkish invasion fleet had been sailing toward Cyprus. Turkey officially denied the British Royal Air Force reports and said the fleet 20 miles off the north ern coast was on NATO maneuvers. But scattered shots Saturday and thun derous roar of three jet fighters buzzing Nicosia at rooftop level just after dawn sent a shiver of fear through the tense city. Sandys, who arrived with a contingent of British troop re inforcements, made the emer gency flight from London after conferring by telephone with The President told the beam ing Erhard they have "much to do to strengthen Ihc forces of freedom, to reinforce the At lantic partnership, to increase our cooperation with all free nations, new and old, and lo en large the prospect of peace everywhere." Cuba Levels Charges Against CIA HAVANA (UP1 - The Cu ban government charged Satur day that U. S. Central Intelli gence Agency (CIA) "saboteurs" blew up a Soviet-built PT boat last Sunday, killing three Cuban sailors and wounding 18 in the first act of aggression by the Johnson administration. A government communique said a mine blew up the PT boat last Sunday in Siguanea Bay of the Isle of Pines and said an investigation showed that the explosive came from a U.S. Navy submarine. I Last Sunday, an anti-Castro exile group whose spokesman reported from Honduras claimed to have attacked a Soviet ves sel in Siguanea Bay.) The statement by Cuba said the United States was "direct ly responsible for the bloody and cowardly act against the people of Cuba at the moment they were preparing peacefully and full of joy for the festivi ties at the end of the year" the rise to power of Premier Fidel Castro. The communique said the at tack was the "first act of ag gression since Lyndon B. John son occupied the presidency of the United States. . .and it is logical to suppose that the facts are known and have the full approval of the President. . ." Halter man's Display Tops Lighting Contest Sweepstakes honors in the an nual Jaycee-sponsored Christ mas lighting contest were awarded to Harold Halterman, 450.1 Bristol, following a three and one-half hour tour of the area Friday night by a panel of judges. It marked the second year in a row that Halterman has claimed the top honor. His dis play featured a life-size figure of Mary holding the baby Jesus as Joseph looks on. Above the figures a giant star shines down beams of light on the holy fam ily. The entire display is illu minated by a large spotlight with changing color patterns. In addition to the sweepstakes award, first and second place trophies were awarded in live divisions. Winners are as fol lows: Lawn displays first, C. D. Groves. 1434 Lakevicw; sec ond, Charles L. Johnston, 4430 Laverne. Window and porch displays first, Raymond Chalmers, 1304 Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home in Scotland. It was reponed prompted by fears the strike between Greek and Turk ish Cypriots in this former col ony might lead to a conflict between t w o NATO allies, Greece and Turkey. President Makarios indicated Saturday night alter a meeting with Sandys that Cyprus might reject the help of Greece and Turkey to end its communal strife and rely on Britain alone. Tlie bearded archbishop, him self a Greek Cypriot, told news men, "I think it would be better if Cyprus accepts only tlie help of Great Britain." He said that was because Greece and Tur key have direct interests at stake in the island. Cyprus accused Turkey al an emergency meeting of the Unit ed Nations Security Council in New York early Saturday of terrorizing the Greek Cypriots by sending a dozen warships toward Cyprus. But Turkey offi cially denied the charge. In Alliens Premier George Papandieous issued a statement welcoming the easing of ten sion. He denied reports the Greek armed forces had mobil ized and said the situation in Cyprus "is becoming daily less abnormal." He welcomed Turkish assur ances that Turkey planned no landing and urged the Greek press to check the veracity of all reports in order to avoid spreading needless alarm. Sandys met immediately with British High Commissioner Sir Arthur Clark and Maj. Gen. Peter Young, overall comman der of the British, Greek and Turkish troops on Cyprus. He scheduled an early meeting with President Archbishop Makarios and Turkish Vice President Fazil Kuchuk. Sandys said one of his first problems was that of securing more complete and effective co operation between the three military contingents of the joint force and admitted there were "certain practical difficulties." British troops in armored cars and jeeps draped with the British flag maintained calm with "family protection pa trols.' Plans to use mixed pa trols of British, Greek and Turk ish soldiers were postponed be cause of language difficulties.
