Because all free men , where er the li ve - are citizens o f Be r lin. The President again ,,nderlinfng a dominant theme of all his s(>eeches in Germany - that America does not intend to back out of its commitments in Euro(>e. Mr. Kennedy indirectly telling De Gattlle that the American commitment to Eurof>e is absolute, and - .,;u be honored to the limit. The Berliners - loved it . Almost a qr,arter of a millio,a of tllem - JaMmed into the square belo., tlle city hall , to give Preside,rt Kennedy the greatest ovation - he has ever llad. Perhaps t~e at,nos1>llere on both sides of tlae wall dividing Berlin Is summed ur, by two newspaper LEAD - 2 headlines. One in West Berlin reading - "Berlin welcomes John F. Kennedy". One in East Berlin reading - "Berlin awaits Khrushchev". West Berlin welcoming Kennedy. East Berlin - awaiting Khrruhchev. The East German editor, ar,r,arently a bit ar,r,rehensive - about the kind of reception the boss of the Kremlin is going to get. Will it come anywhere near West Germany's en t la us i as m for the A m er i ca" Pres id en t ? KENNEDY- DUBLIN FOLLon BERLIN In Irela nd , where he arri v ed tonight.

KHRUSH HEV Pr em ier Klrrushche turned up today i n Moscow - in spite of repeated rumors that he had alread y left f or Berlin. At a commencement meeting of military Academies. Surrounded by his top na v al , air and military brass lie told his audience that resolute action is needed - to prevent another war. That Russia wottldn't even need an army - if it weren't for the existence of foreign imperialism . In particular the United States , which , he says, is beating its toar drums - with a loud thump. Is this a f)reliminary to his camf)aign - when he goes to Berlin on Friday? The Red boss is exf>ected to make a big effort _ to counteract the Kennedy triumf>h.
