West Protests Berlin Action

WASHINGTON (UPI) — With two Western protests over Berlin now fired off to Russia, the question in (diplomats’ minds here today was: “What next?” Allied diplomats, who have met here for three days to plan Berlin strategy, cancelled a meeting scheduled for this morning but were expected to reconvene very soon- v. State Department press officer Lincoln White, asked what the United States would do if Russia fails to heed Western demands to reopen the Berlin borders, said: “I cannot answer that.’ The Allies protested on Tuesday to the Soviet commandant in Berlin, and today, on a higher level, directly to Moscow. Some officials thought the So viets, having closed the Communist borders with Berlin, might now let things cool off before launching a more major offensive later in the year to block Western access to West Berlin. The Western powers took pains in their note to Russia today to lay the blame squarely on the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. The identical U.S., British and French notes called attention to an Aug. 13 Warsaw Pact declaration "instructing” East Germany to take steps to halt the EastWest flow of refugees, which the pact referred to as “subversive activity.’ The notes accused the Warsaw Pact nations — Russia and her European satellites—of “intervening” in a domain in which they have no business. U.S. officials said this was designed to cut through the position taken by Soviet military officials in East Berlin — that they have nothing to do with it, that it is all the action of the East Germans.

Two State Reserve Units Are Alerted INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Members of two Indiana Army Reserve units, alerted for possible callup to active duty, awaited word today on their exact status. The Army announced Wednesday that the two were among 113 Army National Guard and Reerve units placed on such alerts. They were the Ist Chemical Platoon of the 316th Chemical Service Company based at Anderson and the Ist Transportation Detachment, Cargo Helicopter Field Maintenance of the 273rd Medium Aircraft Maintenance unit at South Bend. Col. S. Katsarsky, chief of staff of the Sixth Army Corps at Fort Benjamin Harrison here, said his office had received no official word of the alert. He said that until orders were received it would be impossible to determine how many men would be affected by the alert and who they were. A spokesman for the unit at Anderson said the company is divided into platoons for administrative purposes only. He said operations are conducted by teams and that he assumed some teams would be alerted but he did not know which ones. No Indiana National Guard units were affected by the order and the guard’s commander, Brig. Gen. John Anderson commented that the present need is for what he called “spare parts” units. He said that since the Indiana Guard is organized in a full division it has no such units as do some other states.

Sign Charter For Progress

PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay (UPI) — All the American Republics except Cuba today signed the Puna Del Este charter which, launches President Kennedy's 10year “Alliance for Progress” program in Latin America. The delegation chiefs of 20 nations attending the Inter-American Economic and Social Conference here, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, were summoned one by one to sign the charter. The conference hall was quiet until Dillon,, with the assistant secretary -of state for inter-Amer-ican affairs, Robert Woodward, signed the document. As he wrote his name applause erupted and lasted for 15 seconds. Guevara Not Called Cube’s representative,Mag Ernesto (che) Guevara, was not called because he had announced Wednesday night that he would not sign. He predicted the alliance would fail and attacked the United States for pushing the projected program which calls for S2O billion in economic aid — most of it from the U.S. — over the next 10 years. As the other delegates walked to a small table near the conference chairman’s dais, Guevara sat and listened to the proceedings through earphones. The signing ceremony lasted only 20 minutes and it marked the windup of the 12-day conference. . —» In the most dramatic session of the Inter-American Economic and Social Conference, Guevara refused Wednesday night to ratify the charter of Punta Del Este and called the alliance “an attempt to extend exploitation within the imperialist system.” The bearded Cuban finance minister said the United States and Latin American nations at this conference had “established the first link of co-existence in this hemisphere” with a Communistsupported regime such as Cuba’s. Fires Back Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon, breaking 11 days of silence in the face of Cuban attacks on the United States and the alliance, fired back: “The delegate of Cuba today

has chosen to take one phrase out of this document (the final conference report which charted the alliance) and try to twist its meaning so as to gravely misrepresent the position of the United sts es. He has tried to give the implication that the United States somehow recognizes the permanence of the present regime in Cuba. “This we do not do and never will do, because to do so would be to betray the thousands of patriotic Cubans who are still waiting and struggling for the freedom of their country.” Crowd Cheers Dillon The standing-room-only crowd that jammed into the converted gambling casino which served as the conference’s great hall erupted in a massive ovation for Dillon. In contrast, Guevara’s 38minute speech was greeted by stony silence. Only minutes before, the delegates of 20 of the American republics had ratified the 24-page Charter of Punta Del Este — the framework for the 10-year attack on poverty and despair in the hemisphere. Conference president Juan Eduardo Azzini of Uruguay said the signing of the charter marks “the beginning of a historic epoch for the continent ” INDIANA WEATHER Continued fair with no important temperature changes through Friday.

Military Buildup Affects Thousands

WASHINGTON (UPD-The crisis in Berlin became a personal one for nearly 57,000 men today —businessmen, lawyers, laborers —ordinary men in hundreds of the nation’s cities and towns. All they have in common is that they know how to flght. They are the Army and Air Force reservists ordered Wednesday to get their affairs in order and be ready for active duty. Many of them, however, may spend months anxiously scanning the news from tense Berlin and wondering whether Uncle Sam will drop th£ other shoe—whether they will actually be ordered to active duty. Recall seems a certainty for some, perhaps many, Air Force and Navy men. As the tempo of preparedness increases, it seems likely that thousands of naval reservists—destroyermen and anti-submarine plane crews — will also be alerted The Navy is getting ready to expand its active fleets by 40 to 80 ships as part of the buildup. But for Army reservists, there is less certainty. Million-man Goal Announcing a sweeping program for building a million-man Army, Secretary Elvis J. Stahr Jr. said Wednesday of the reserve units put on alert: “We hope that the international situation will be such that we don't have to call those reserve —units. . .in spite of the hope, we 'still feel we should alert them.” While uncertainty faced the 71 Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve and 113 Army National Guard and Army Reserve units now alerted, there was no doubt about continued big draft calls. Revealing plans for stretching out active duty tours and taking other interim measures for a quick Army buildup, Stahr said the draft call for October will be “at least” 20,000. It already has been fixed at 1,000 for this month and 25,000 for September. These calls are of late Korean War size. Manpower expansion plans announced to date put total U. S. military strength on the way toward the 2,743,227 goal fixed by President Kennedy and Congress. Air Buildup The Air Force has alerted 33,000 reservists for possible recall and disclosed plans to raise active strength by 28,000 through recruiting, voluntary tour extensions and involuntary extensions if necessary- The Navy has said it will freeze 26,800 in service for an extra six to 12 months.

Seven Cents

In the most far reaching program yet, the Army told Wednesday how it will build up to 984,374 by next June 30. If it also recalls the 23,626 reservists it alerted, manpower will go to 1,008,000. Stahr said the Army had decided against mobilizing units of division site. He did not explain why, but the length of time it would take to get them combatready presumably was a key factor. The best National Guard divisions have 70 to 80 per cent of combat strength and training and equiping could run into several months. The present goal is a fast Army buildup, with selected, specialized, smaller reserve units on alert if needed. Extends Terms Stahr said the terms of 84.000 enlisted men in the regular Army — everyone whose term would expire between Oct. 1 and next June 30 — will be extended as much as four months. That will cover the training time for new replacements. About 4,500 ROTC graduates who had expected six months active duty now will get two years. Another 1,700 ROTC men now on six months duty will be extended as much as a year. Reserve officers completing two year active tours will be encouraged to extend voluntarily. If necessary, as many as 4,000 will be kept on involuntarily. The Army also may recall individually 700 reserve officers and 2,000 enlisted men to meet needs for special skills. This depends on volunteersTours of duty in Japan and Germany will be extended six months and in Korea three months. ,
