an indelible Impression on the
minds of West Berliners with
his visit to the divided city and
his tour of the anti-relugee

The institute has been mak

Negotiations
Deadlocked
TOKYO (UPI) Negotiations
for tiie reduction o( U. S. air
strength in Japan appeared
deadlocked Saturday wilh the
Japanese unwilling either to
lorego the protection of Ameri
ca's might or to help pay for it.
Ncgotiatons between U. S.
and Japanese military authori
ties on the subject have been
going on here quietly since Oc
tober. It nuw appears probable
that they will be adjourned
w ithout decision until early next
year.
The Japanese object specifi
cally to the withdrawal of
America's K102 jets from this
country, arguing that it would
create a gap in Japanese air
defenses.
The Americans suggest that
the Japenese either buy some
F102s of their ow n or pay part
of the cost of keeping U. S.
fighter squadrons in this country-Foreign
Olfice sources said
Japan has not given a definite
reply to these plans because
both entail the disbursement of
a large sum of money.
Japan was reported reluctant
lo buy F102s because they are
becoming outdated.
The sources said the fighter
planes would prove useless be
cause this country is fully oc
cupied by the training of pilots
(or tlie F(W and F104 fighters
already included in its plans.
