Federal Debt at
Highest Level of
Any Fiscal Year-End
WASHINGTON UP) — The gov
ernment wound up its bookkeep
ing year with the federal debt at
$289,211,154,060.05 the highest
level of any fiscal year-end in
history.
The daily Treasury statement
for June 30, issued Thursday,
showed that the debt climbed
about $2.7 billion from a year ago,
because of higher spending and
less-than-anticipated revenues.
Because of various factors, the
debt rise does not reflect accu- :
rately the excess of spending1
over revenues, expected to be
about $3 billion.
The precise deficit figure is ex
pected to be available within a ;
few days.
Alaska Free of Traffic
Deaths Over the Fourth
JUNEAU (41 — The National
Safety Council took official note
yesterday that Alaska was free
of traffic deaths during the long
Fourth of July holiday.
G. C. Stewart, executive vice
president of the National Safety
Council, wired Gov. Egan from
Chicago:
“We commend you and the
people of your state for having
gone through the tragic July
Fourth holiday weekend without
a single fatality.”
Restless America has never ac
cepted the historical thesis that
its frontier was closed. Doesn’t
every change bring another fron- l
tier? Last year about 36 million
Americans—one out of five—
moved to a new residence. We are
still a nation on the march.

U.S. Assails New
Russian-Korean
Military Alliance
WASHINGTON UR — The Unit
ed States assailed the new Soviet
Korean military alliance Thurs
day as a “link in the Communist
colonial empire.”
State Department press officer
Lincoln White also took issue
with Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s
contention that the pact was
necessary because of the actions
of United States, Japan and other
powers in the Pacific. Khrushchev
said these countries had rejected
Soviet efforts to ease tensions and
insure security in the Far East.
White said the fact is that “it
was the North Korean regime
which committed aggression
against the Republic of Korea in
1950 and which has done nothing
whatever to ease tensions in the
area since that time.”
U. S. officials, surprised at an
nouncement of the new mutual
defense pact, said it undoubtedly
was still another sign of the ri
valry between the Soviet Union
and Red China.

East German Leader
Vows to Put an End to
West Berlin's Cold War
BERLIN OP) — Walter Ulbricht,
East German Communist leader,
vowed Thursday to put an end to
West Berlin “as a strongpoint of
the cold war” when he gets a
peace treaty with the Soviet
Union.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev has
promised him one by the end of
the year.
“With conclusion of a peace
treaty, even if it is only with the
German Democratic Republic,”
said Ulbricht, “there will begin
a new settlement of the West Ber
lin question. I want to leave no
doubt about this.
“This means that the center of
provocations in West Berlin and
its misuse as a strongpoint of the
cold war will in any case be eli
minated.”
Ulbricht has, made clear in the
past that he wants full control
over land, sea and air routes to
Berlin. He has also said he will
insist on the closing of the big
reception center at Marienfelde,
where 500 refugees from Com
munism are taken in daily.
The only question, Ulbricht
said, was whether the process
would be “easy and painless or
more difficult.” Ulbricht spoke
for 90 minutes to the People’s
Chamber, East Germany’s Soviet
style parliament.

To Put Up Apartments for
Negro Diplomats in I). C.
WASHINGTON UFI — Several
Washington to real estate owners
; offered Thursday to open large
* luxury apartment buildings to
Negro diplomats in response to
an appeal from President Ken
nedy.
Harris Wofford, special as
sistant to the President, convey
i ed Kennedy’s views to a closed
meeting of Washington real es
tate leaders called by the State
Department to curb housing dis
crimination against African dip
lomats in the nation’s capital.
A plea on behalf of the State
Department was made by Un
dersecretary Chester Bowles.
Kennedy’s protocol chief, An
gier Biddle Duke, reported that
the real estate owners had shown
a “most cooperative and positive
attitude” toward easing the dis
crimination, which Kennedy be
lieves is giving Uncle Sam a bad
name around the world.
Racial snubs against Negroes
in the semi-southern city are of
increasing concern to the Kennedy
Administration as new African
countries send envoys here in
growing numbers. The commu
nists are ardently wooing the
new nations end point to discri
mination in America, especially in
the federal capital, as evidence
of U. S. hypocrisy.
