PENNSYLVANIA Foreign Aid Allotments Announced | WASHINGTON (AP) Senate and House conferees blasted Through the biggest obstacle to congressional adjournment by settling on a foreign aid appro- priation of nearly $4 billion yes terday. The foreign aid figure repre sents a compromise between the $3,657,500,00 voted by the House and the $4,196,600,000 approved by the Senate. President Kennedy originally asked for $4,775,500,000 to finance his military and economic aid pro gram during the 12 months end ing next June 30 and Congress authorized up to $4,253,500,000. Foreign aid supporters in both parties fought to keep the figure from being reduced below $4 bil lion, which Kennedy urged as a minimum. One of the last arguments to be settled involved a $4O-million fund to finance the President’s new Peace Corps through its first year of operation. The conferees compromised on $3O million for the agency. The Senate had approved the full $4O million and the House had voted nothing. NEWPORT, R. I.

Will SELL Books Until Saturday, Sept Supply St Located in Ground Floor of HUB Used Book Agency 9:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M In The HUB Cardroo Student Operated School West Denies Charge Of Warlike Action MOSCOW (/PHThe United States, Britain and France have rejected Soviet charges that the flight of two West German fighter planes to West Berlin Sept. 14 was a warlike act. In -similar notes replying to Moscow’s protest of Sept. 17, the Western Big Three advised the Soviets yesterday to avoid getting excited over such incidents. They said the two jets had clearly lost their way. run out of fuel and had to land. The planes touched down at Teg si Airport in Berlin's French sector. “Under these circumstances,” jsaid the American note, “the United States government is sur prised that the government of the U.S.S.R. finds it possible to talk of ‘provocations’ and ‘execution of a warlike mission, including the delivery of atomic bombs to their WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1961 targets.’ ” The Western powers declared that Soviet planes had made numerous illegal flights over West German territory recently. “These incursions were brought to the attention of the Soviet authorities by the responsible military authorities," the U.S. note said. "No one thought of characterising them as '"provo cation’ or announcing military measures, which the Soviet government threatens to take.” The Soviet protest warned that any more military planes violat ing the territory of Communist East Germany would be shot down by any means, including rockets. The West feared the Communists would seize on the incident as a pretext to restrict air access to Berlin. The American note suggested that “at times like these, more than ever, governments should avoid complicating by unfounded accusations these incidents which inevitably occur."
