SOVIET VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT
Berlin, Nov. 30.
The West Berlin City Government declared after an emergency meeting to- night that it expected the British, French and United States governments to take immediate steps in Moscow to prevent a change in the four power status of Berlin. It protested against yesterday's Soviet statement that East Berlin is the capital of East Germany and no longer an occupied sector of Berlin,

Congress Will Be Asked To Maintain Aid Level
Washington, Nov. 30. The Administration will ask Congress next year to keep foreign aid spending near its present $2,700,000,000 level, officials reported today.
Administration leaders earlier had hoped to make a substantial election-year cut in foreign aid funds.
But Russia's tough tactics at the Geneva conference and Com- munist economic and military activity in the Middle East and Suuth Asia appear likely to force an increase in spending in those areas. This expeeled increase may be met, however, by shift- ing aid funds from other areas instead of asking for big new appropriations,
Secretary of State John Foster Duiles and foreign aid chief John B. Hollister said yesterday in separate meetings with re- porters that they do not see any world developments so far ro- quiring a major increase in foreign milltary
economic and aid. They both loft the way open, however, for moderate aid increases or soine shifting of aid funda.
