"We have much to do," said Johnson, "to strengthen the forces of freedom, to reinforce the Atlantic partnership, to in crease our cooperation with all free nations, new and old, and to enlarge the prospect of peace." For his part, Erhard said it was a privilege to join the President in the quiet days of the Christmas season in order to 'follow the message of Christ mas and to do everything in our power to deepen and to enlarge the peace all over the world." "That," he said, "is our task." Each man spoke, too, of his hopes for freedom and self-de termination for all Germans. But while Johnson declared that "today the freedom of West Berlin is more secure than ever," Erhard voiced a hope that "the hour of freedom for all Berlin will come." Later the President and chan cellor climbed aboard a jet hel icopter and were off for the 400-acre Johnson ranch.

In a rear compartment, Mrs. Johnson was the sight-seeing guide for Germany's foreign minister, Gerhard Schroeder. The conferences began, in the two living rooms of the Cong.

KOEHLER BERLIN (AP) German offi cials in both parts of this divid ed city voiced readiness Satur day to discuss extending past the Jan.

5 deadline the agreement permitting West Berliners to visit behind the Communist- built wall. Both sides expressed the hope they could keep open the check points which allowed Berliners their first Christmas family reunion in two years. So far 250,000 West Berliners have visited relatives in East Berlin, the official East German news agency, AUM, reported. Altogether 840,000 permits for one-day visits have been issued, the agency said. The permits are good only for eastward trips as was clear Christmas Day when East Ger mans trying to flee to the West were shot by border guards.

Despite the tragedy, a West Berlin spokesman said, "The Senate (West Berlin govern- and the federal government (of West Germany) hope that a further easing of the situation for the people both parts of the city should be achieved." He was referring to a remark made by East German Deputy Premier Alexander Abusch in an interview with a Communist newspaper that his regime was willing to talk about the extension of the visiting period. The East-West agreement included only those West Berliners who have close relatives in the Soviet sector. West Berlin officials indicated (Continued on Page 14) have referred to a meeting if it had serious reason to think it would not take place. Patriarch Athenagoras still has not announced definitely that he is going to the Holy Land. He has asked other Orth odox Church leaders to approve a trip to Palestine.

So far he has not indicated whether all have replied. Some are known to op pose a meeting with the Pope. Although Patriarch Athena goras is spiritual leader of the world's 150 million Orthodox Christians, he does not have the supreme authority that the Pope has over the 550 million Roman Catholics. Even if Patriarch Athenagoras does not go to the Holy Land, the meeting of his envoy with Pope Paul will stand as a milestone in the common search for Christian unity.

Albert Gore, visiting his wife's relatives here Saturday, explained his opposition to the proposed income tax cut which he described as untimely and "utterly unfair." The Tennessee senior sena tor, who will be a candidate for a third six-year term in the 1964 elections, dodged comment on any possible opposition for his senate seat. He said he has made approximately 300 speeches across the state this year and plans a campaign of six weeks to two months next summer.

Gore observed that he was fighting "a lonely battle" in his attack on the tax cut bill which he says is widely misunderstood. He was somewhat less than optimistic over his chan ces for success in defeating the administration bill. "It is unsound and dangerous to have a big tax cut when we already have the second larg est peacetime deficit in history, a national debt of more than $300 billion, and when more not less spending is the Carthage lawmaker stated. "If this makes good sense, perhaps Madison County should try it. If it works for Madison County, then I think I may try it if my banker will agree." Continuing his explanation of his stand on the tax cut, Gore added, "Even if we could af ford a big tax cut, the bill that is proposed is the wrong kind.

GREEN Rusk Optimistic Over Possibilities For World Peace By LEWIS GULICK WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Saturday he is entering the new year with "a modest optimism" that 1964 will feature a sober, peaceful search for solution of still-dangerous East West disputes. "Looking broadly at the world situation," Rusk predicted "1964 will be a period of probing the possibilities of peace.

"My impression is that there is a certain soberness in the attitude of the principal governments of the world; that there is a recognition that crisis such as the missile crisis in Cuba in October 1962 must be avoided if possible. "I think there Is a general feeling on the part of the peoples of the world that somehow a way to peace must be found, and this is reflecting itself in the care with which governments are exploring these pos sibilities. "So I enter 1964 with re strained optimism, with a mod est optimism. I am not pessi mistic. I believe there are opportunities in the situation.

"There is much unfinished business. But I think that we shall go about that unfinished business to try to find solutions that will help build one more year of peace behind us in this world situation. Rusk, who spoke in a record ed interview with Japanese broadcaster Kazushige Hirasa- wa, listed Berlin, Germany, Cu ba and South Viet Nam as large dangerous and "still explosive points" that must be dealt with And the great underlying is sue remains the contest be tween those who support the kind of world envisaged in the U.N.

He explained that these fig ures were from the testimony of Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon. "I have brought to light that even under present law, which is riddled with loopholes, the typical taxpayer with an ad justed income of more than $1 million per year pays only 26 per cent in taxes no larger percentage than many daily workers pay.

A 10,000 square foot area was simply shelled-m with exterior walls, windows and roof. Interior construction began in April of this year under the Hill Burton Hospital Construction Program following the alloca tion of federal funds for some 52 per cent of the total cost construction and furnishings for the unit and allied services. The other 48 per cent ef cost will be borne by the hospital through the underwriting of bonds issued by the City of Jackson and Madison County. Total cost, in eluding an addtional elevator still under construction, will be approximate $290,000.00.

Hilton Butler called Saturday for a "wholesale reconsideration of the car and driver problem" in Tennessee in light of the record 1963 death toll. The commissioner's announcement came as the year's death toll mounted to 920, highest in a single year in Tennessee history. Two college students and their dates, returning from a holiday sorority dance, died Saturday in a fiery collision of their station wagon and an oncoming car at Winchester.

Butler called for consideration by the state legislature of laws dealing with the mechanical soundness of vehicles. He said a study of the fatalities in the past year has revealed that many cars involved were in poor mechanical condition. The State Department of Safety will present data on the autom i 1 problem to the 1965 General Assembly, he said.

Hundreds of descendents of the Charles Austins scattered through three-fourths of the states and several other nations are now seeing to it that the "graveyard" of their common forebears is restored in a manner to make it an outstanding family and "community improvement" project. Some 200 Charles Austin de Pope, Patriarch Likely Planning Summit Meeting WASHINGTON (AP) by President Johnson, trimming of agency budget $730 million worth of cuts sources said Saturday. The cost-cutting drive ap parently has become Johnson's uppermost concern, administration aides reported, and has become the biggest headache of his Cabinet officers. But even though the President pounded on the Cabinet table at recent session to underscore his demand for savings, offici als indicated there is little hope a fiscal 1965 budget below $101 billion. That would be about $2 billion greater than the spending estimate for fiscal 1964, ending next June 30.

But the budget message still is full of blanks and question marks, officials said, and only these facts seem fairly solid: It will go to Congress Jan. 21, remaining open for revision until almost the last moment. It will show reduced outlays for some of the heaviest spending agencies, including the Defense Department, Agriculture Department, Atomic Energv Commission, Post Office, and Veterans Administration. It will propose increases for some others, including the La bor Department, the Depart ment of Welfare, the Peace Corns, and the housing agencies.

Pope Paul begins his three-day pilgrimage there Jan. 4.

The meeting between the Pope and the patriarch's envoy, Metropolitan Athenagoras of Thiatiron, was in itself historic. It marked the first visit to Rome by an official representa tive of the patriarchate of Con stantinople since the schism between Orthodox and Roman Catholicism in 1472. A Vatican communique said the metropolitan had es tablished contact with the Pope and his collaborators for a pos sible Holy Land meeting be tween the pontiff and Patriarch Athenagoras. It was the first time that the Vatican had mentioned such a possibility in an official communique. Sources here said it was unlikely that the Vatican would SAT.
