The mood in West Berlin was somber, and people placed wreaths in memory of those who died trying to cross the wall. Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany called the eastern cere monies “filled with cynicism.” In a statement on behalf of the Western Allies, the U.S. mission to West Berlin called the parade “deplorable.” administration called “a good step” but not a breakthrough, the White House said Wednesday. Deputy press secretary Larry Speakes said the talks, probably in Washington, would continue with basically the same top-level negotia tors who held 11 hours of meetings during two days in Moscow this wee_k^... Speakes called the Moscow dis cussions “serious, substantive and businesslike” and said they were “a good exchange.” He declined to say whether they narrowed the differ ences on arms issues. The meetings, focusing on strate gic and space weapons, are intended to set the stage for a Sept. 19-20 con ference between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and pave the way toward the next super power summit between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Moscow talks basically in volved a presentation by both sides of the arms offers they have made recently. “It takes a lot of time to present your ideas, and of course to get a de finitive response takes more time,” the official said. “So I don’t think there was any expectation that this meeting was going to produce any immediate breakthrough. It’s a good step.” The official said the session in volved more “atmospherics” and “at titudes’ than any serious movement on arms control differences. Origin of Tamil refugees unknown ST.JOHN’S, Newfoundland (AP) — Where 152 Tamil refugees came from was as foggy Wednesday as the coastal waters where they were found adrift, but officials indicated they can stay in Canada if they prove their nationality. They claim to be from Sri Lanka, where Tamil rebels are fighting the majority Sinhalese for an indepen dent homeland, and that they left southern India by ship July 7 after paying passage of up to $5,000 each. A naturalized Canadian Tamil who has acted as an interpreter since the refugees were picked up in two lifeboats Monday said he suspected they came from temporary deten tion camps in West Germany, but a spokesman for the group denied it. Although the Tamils have been granted provisional entry to Canada, officials said their route could affect whether they are given permanent residence. Under Canadian immigration regulations, anyone already granted refugee status in another country cannot become a resident here. Unconfirmed reports from West Germany indicated that the Sri Lan kans were held in detention camps near Hamburg and their cases were still pending.

House OKs two anti-defense measures WASHINGTON (AP) — The House ignored a veto threat Wednesday and dealt President Reagan two more defeats on na tional defense policy by voting to continue a ban on tests of anti-sa tellite weapons and deciding by a single vote to ban production of new chemical weapons. The Democratic-controlled chamber approved the anti-satel lite (ASAT) ban and an amend ment blocking the Pentagon from building nerve gas weapons next year. No U.S. chemical weapons have been produced since 1969.
