Barriers Lifted
For Mikoyan
WASHINGTON (A 3 )— I The State
Department lowered its travel
barriers yesterday to let Moscow’s
No. 2 man, Anasta L Mikoyan,
go just about anywhere he wants'
to in the United States. 1
The first first deputy premier]
of the Soviet Union, plans to visit
at least half a dozen American]
cities beginning today. ]
Some of the cities have long]
been out of bounds for Soviet dip
lomats and visitors unless they]
got special permission. 1
The system of setting up such,
restricted areas was started by!
the Soviet Union itself a decadet
or more ago. The United States
adopted reciprocal restrictions be
ginning in 1952. I
The State Department press of-i
ficer, Lincoln White, announced]
that the department has issued]
permission for Mikoyan to travel
to restricted areas. “Ihe Soviets]
asked exceptions and those were
granted,” White said.

Africans Clash
With Police;
34 Fatalities
LEOPOLDVILLE, Belgian Con
go (TP)—Order was gradually be
ing restored yesterday in this
jungle city after bloody rioting
by Africans demanding indepen
dence.
At least 34 Africans have been
killed and another 100 seriously
injured in the clashes that started
Sunday between police and Afri
cans. ,
The city is still under a vir
tual state of siege, but transport
has been restored.
Euroneans have been armed in
case of further outbreaks of vio
lence. Paratroopers rushed from
ihe military base at Kamina are
standing by.
The riots began after a political
meeting of Congolese where the
future independence of the Congo
was discussed.
Hie word independence acted
like a spur. The Africans invaded
the European section of the city,
ransacking and firing stores.
Catholic missions and police sta
tions were attacked and set
ablaze.
Order was restored with the
help of armored cars and barbed
wire roadblocks.

Free Berlin
WASHINGTON (/P) Soviet
Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mi
koyan indicated last night the So- 1
viet Union is standing firm oni
its demand for an end to four
power rule of Berlin.
He told this to newsmen after
a more than two-hour review of
[foreign policy problems with Vice
President Richard Nixon.
Asked if the Soviet Union has
changed its position in any way
on Berlin, he replied;
“Why change it? One does not
change a good position.”
Mikoyan’s comments, made out
side Nixon’s office in the Capitol,
contrasted with hints he dropped
earlier on a softening in the So
viet’s position to turn East Ber
lin over to its puppet East Ger
man regime in May.
The meeting between Mikoyan
and Nixon was arranged at the
former’s request The Soviet Em- ;
bassy termed it a courtesy call
by Mikoyan.
\ Mikoyan broadly hinted Mon
day at possible Soviet concessions
to make any new deal over Berlin
more acceptable to the Western
Big Three countries. One of these
was reported to be formal guar
antees of free access to the city
via mail, water and air routes.
