New Russian Charges
Against U.S. and Allies
Claimed to be Forgeries
WASHINGTON — The State
Department has implied that docu
ments involved in new Russian
charge against the United States
and its Allies in the Middle East
may be forgeries.
Newsmen in Moscow Friday
were given documents showing a
nuclear bombing pattern stretch
ing across southern Russia. So
viet spokesmen claimed these
were secret plans for an attack
against the Soviet Union by the
Central Treay Organization.
CENTO is an alliance of Britain,
Turkey, Iran and Pakistan with
which the United States is as
sociated.
In reply, the State Department
said, “we have not seen the al
leged documents yet, and there
fore do not know what they con
tain.
“But we do recall that a num
ber of proven forgeries have been
issued by Moscow over the years.”
In Instanbul, a high Turkish of
ficial of CENTO called the So
viet allegatoins “absolutely un
founded.”
“CENTO has never drawn such
a plan,” said Bulent Kestelli,
CENTO Assistant Secretary-Gen
eral in charge of political affairs.
The first “credit cards” were
probably rings worn by 13th Cen
tury German knights and en
crested with their family coat of
arms. Innkeepers, recognizing the
owners as men of worth, billed
them later for their charges so
they wouldn’t have to carry
money on the robber - infested
highways. The penalty for coun
terfeiting a family ring: death.

Reds Reject U.S.
Protest on Sealing
Off West Berlin
MOSCOW WPI — The Soviet gov
ernment categorically rejected
Saturday the U. S. protest against
closing the frontier between East
and West Berlin and indicated
the barrier is likely to stay there
until a new Berlin arrangement
is made.
The note was a swift reply to
the protest made by the United
States — along with Britain and
France — against East Germany’s
action in closing the Berlin bor
der.
The note said “defensive meas
ures” on the border are for a tem
porary period. They presumably
would end with the conclusion of
a peace treaty.
Premier Khrushchev has said
he will sign a peace treaty with
East Germany with or without
approval of the Western powers.
Blame for “certain temporary
inconveniences for the city’s
population” was placed on the
western Allied occupation au
thorities and with Germany.
“The Soviet government has re
peatedly emphasized that the con
clusion of a peace treaty with
Germany and the normalization
on such a basis of the situation in
West Berlin will not infringe the
interests of any of the parties and
will contribute to the cause of
peace and the security of all
peoples,” the note said. “To this
end, it appeals to the U. S. gov
ernment also.”
The Western Allies in identical
notes last Wednesday asserted the
Berlin border closure was a “fla
garant and particularly serious
violation” of their occupation
rights. They said the action “car
only increase existing tension and
dangers.”
The dispatch of East German
troops into East Berlin and th«
intervention of the Communist
military alliance were both term
ed illegal.
“By the very admission of the
East German authorities, the
measures which have been taken
are motivated by the fact that
an ever-increasing number of in
habitants of East Germany wish
to leave this territory,” the note
said.
The West demanded that the
Soviet Union “put an end to these
illegal measures.”
Assassination Attempt
Squelched by Japanese Police
TOKYO Ub — Japanese police
said today they squelched an at
tempt to assassinate visiting So
viet Premier Anastas Mikoyan.
Hiroyuki Kawamoto, 22, de
scribed as an ultra-nationalist,
was arrested in Yokohama Sta
tion. He carried a dagger, a letter
addressed to Mikoyan and s
rightist leaflet with the slogan
'kill one man to serve your coun
try.”
Police said Kawamoto was
waiting at the station for a train
to Osaka, where Mikoyan was
visiting on his tour of Japan.

Soviet Paper Says
Johnson’s Visit to Berlin
“Heats Up the Situation”
MOSCOW UPi — The Communist
party paper Pravda today printed
a Berlin dispatch declaring U. S.
Vice President Johnson's mis
sion to the divided city was in
tended to “heat up the already
tense situation in West Berlin.”
The writer, correspondent Vla
dimer Kuznetsov, said it seems
West Berlin — not East Berlin —
has become “a military police
camp.”
He said provocative military de
monstrations were held in West
Berlin after Johnson’s arrival and
commented that the 1,500 Ameri
can reinforcements who arrived
Sunday marched through the city
to the tune of military bands.
Pony Express riders—like air
line pilots now—were among the
elite of their day. They earned
from $100 to $150 a month, plus
rations of bacon, beans and buf
falo steak.
