He told a news conference in West Berlin that he had planned to visit the Communist zone but changed his mind because the wall made him sick. The author said he was not criticizing those Americans who do visit East Berlin. "It is a personal matter," he said. "I am not criticizing those who go. It is like an auto accident.

The No. 2 Commerce Department official and Kentucky Gov. Bert Combs discussed Kentucky problems with Johnson at the White House meeting. Roosevelt indicated that he was mainly interested in confirming that Johnson planned to continue the economic programs planned for Kentucky. He said that assurance was evident. The late President Kennedy had planned to tour eastern Kentucky in early December, Roosevelt said. Combs told re porters that he extended the invitation Saturday to President Johnson without suggesting any particular time. The eastern part of Kentucky is one of the most economically distressed sections of the coun try. Once a thriving coal mining region, it now has an unemployment rate far above the national rate.
