2 The Manhattan Mercury Friday, April 2ft, Radar Installations Red Trawlers Run Close To Towers WASHINGTON (AP)-Two inci- flents in which Soviet trawlers Tnade close approaches to a U.S. Texas Tower radar installation off Cape Cod, temporarily evacuated in heavy weather, were reported today by Air Force sources. Both cases involved tower No. 2 at Georges Bank, about 110 miles out in the Atlantic from the tip of Cape Cod. One occurred last fall and the other in February.

In neither instance was any actual boarding of the structures reported. Daily Record BIRTHS St. Mary Hospital Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Rhoton, 720 North Third, a girl, April 19.

He was $10. Reo D. Capp, 531 Fremont, -pleaded guilty to a charge of detective automobile equipment, and was fined $5. The closer of the two approaches was the one last autumn in which Maj. George F.

Molt, commander of the 4604th Texas Tower Support Squadron at Otis Air Force Base, said today a single vessel came within a half-mile. The officer said the ship turned away when Coast Guard cutler stationed itself between the trawler and the tower. "I don't think they had any intention to board the tower," Mott said. "I think they just wanted to see what would happen if they headed toward the tower." The steel and concrete structures, part of the U.S. air attack warning system, are evacuated when heavy seas are expected.

Coast Guard cutters keep them under watch while they are unmanned. The February incident, reported before Mott told of the one last year, involved 15 trawlers sighted within 16 miles of the structure. The Air Force said Thursday that the Coast Guard cutter Bibb spotted the Soviet ships at 6:16 n.m. Feb. 24 and reported they were going away from the tower on a northeast course.

The Coast Guard did not board the tower at the time, the Air Force said, but did later without finding any evidence that Soviet trawler crewmen entered the tower. The tower is situated in international waters. A ship abandoned under similar circumstances can be claimed by anyone who boards it. RECEIVES COMMENDATION Warrant Officer Richard W. Rathert (right) supply officer of Special Services, receives the Army Commendation Medal from Lieutenant Colonel James A Patterson, G-l, for meritorious service.

CWO Rathert earned the medal while serving as supply officer and property book officer in Korea, November 1960-August 1961. Get In Way Between Man, God Says Skybolt Is Successful, 2nd Stage Is A Dud CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) a second-stage malfunction, the Air Force says it is satisfied with the initial flight performance of this nation's first air- launched ballistic missile, the Sky- bolt. A B52 bomber unleashed the Skybolt from beneath its wing Thursday at an altitude of more than five miles jus.t olf the tip of Cape Canaveral. The solid-fuel weapon dropped some 500 feet and the first stage ignited to propel the rocket on an upward trajectory designed to reach 300 miles before the warhead plummeted back into the ocean.

Trouble in the second stage terminated the flight swiftly. Informed sources said the upper stage apparently failed to ignite. The Air Force; Douglas Aircraft, the prime contractor; and Aerojet-General, the propulsion manager, have considerable time to develop the Skybolt. The missile is not scheduled to be operational until late 1964. Officials said they can count, these dividends from the first flight: successful drop, first-stage ignition and trajectory.

Once operational, Skybolt will be the most mobile missile in the free world arsenal. The United Slates plans to mount four of the missiles on each of 300 B52 Strato- fortrcss bombers. Great Britain will use it on the Vulcan Mark II bomber. CHICAGO (AP) The Rev. Karl Barth, pre-eminent Protestant religious thinker and advocate of stricl Bible inlerpretation, contends that clergymen get in the way belween man and God.

Dr. Barth, on his first American visit, told a news conference Thursday there is a place for the clergy in Christianity but pastors "should regard themselves not as lords but as servants." "My experience shows that men will understand regardless of words if the message is proclaimed simply and clearly," he said. Clergymen fail, he believes, when inslead of "accepting hu- Local News Briefs Lions Easter Egg Hunt Saturday at 10 a.m. is the an nual Lions Club Easter Egg hunt for children, to be held in the city park.

All Boy Scouts at the hunt will Jjave copies of the map. manity and the fact that it is loved by God, they separate sheep and goats.

"God will do that," Dr. Barth said. The Swiss theologian, 75, said that the judgment of God is especially important in relation to communism. "The godlcssness of communism is a peculiar one but not entirely unlike the godlessness of Switzerland and Hie United Slates," he said. "Our approach to the difference that is invovled must be with love." He declared that his task is to teach what the real nature of Ihe Gospel is.

Before he could do this, he added, "I had to understand that Christianity means a covenant, an encounter between God and man, and now the problem is to understand God and man without mixing them up." Dr. Rarth is In Chicago to visit his son, Markus, a member of Ihe University of Chicago Divinity School. He will also deliver five lectures next week. Dr. Barth gained fame during the 1930s for his stand against Hitler in Europe, and has been the originator and leader of one of the major movements in Protestant theology.

He calls his movement evangelical theology. He described his life as an effort to counterbalance the humanism of the 19th Century by a return to the Bible in which God talks to men. In Heart Of Algiers Arrest Secret Army Leader ALGIERS (AP) Fugitive ex-Gen. Raoul Salan, leader of the terrorist Secret Army Organization, was arrested today in the heart of Algiers, French officials announced. Salan, a 62-year-old army veteran who has seen service in virtually all corners of the world was sentenced to death in absentia for the putsch as was his colleague, ex-Gen.

Edmond Jouhaud. When reports spread that Saian was captured, heavy troop rein-i forcements were concentrated around Reghaia, an air base near 1 Rocher Noir headquarters. i Salan already was aboard the! plane bound for Paris when the announcement was made, the spokesman said. A government official said Salan was taken when riot troops and police sealed off a small section in downtown Algiers and launched a search of cars, build- Ings and passersby. ther admitted his identity or his captors made sure of it.

If it was true that authorities were not able at first to identify him, the case had a striking similarity to the capture of ex-Gen. Jouhaud. It was several hours after Jouhaud's arrest before his identity was established. Salan's arrest strikes a hard blow at followers of the secret army.

There were reports Salan had been captured early in today's search but that he refused to admit his identity and riot police officers who arrested him were not sure themselves it was Salan. Unofficial reports leaked out that Salan had been taken, but it was not until several hours later that the Rocher Noir headquarters of the French-Moslem provisional executive disclosed the arrest. There were rumors Salan had been denounced by one of his followers and that police and troops had been able to start the sealing- off operation in time to net him. This could not be confirmed, but it seemed likely that Salan, who has been living in apparent immunity from arrest for more than a year, had been turned in by a disgruntled follower. Salan was apparently taken to Reghaia, a French military airbase outside Algiers where he ei- MOSCOW (AP) Gardner Cowles, American publisher, described Soviet Premier Khrushchev today as very cautiously optimistic over the Berlin crisis.

Cowles, after a two-hour 50-minute interview with Khrushchev, said the Soviet leader appeared in the best of health. He added that Khrushchev gave the impression of a man who wants peace and one who hopes that tension between the Communist world and the West can be reduced. The talk covered a wide range of subjects including disarmament negotiations in Geneva, Berlin, Soviet agriculture and relations among the Soviet bloc countries. Cowles commented that the interview took place in the same Kremlin study where he talked with Joseph Stalin in 1942. Cowles saw Stalin while accompanying the late Wendell Wilkie on a tour of the Soviet Union.

Reporters noted that Khrush chev's recent letter to British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan indicated the Soviet leader appeared to be less hopeful about a solution to the German problem. Cowles replied: "He looked to me to be very cautiously optimistic on Berlin." The official text of the interview will be delivered to Cowles in Washington next week. He said it had not been decided how the interview will be published, but that it probably will be released to the press. The publisher said he began by congratulating Khrushchev on his 68th birthday last Tuesday, Charge Texans For Dueling With Pistols HOUSTON, Tex. men faced a rare charge with pistols.

Walter Williams, 29, and Jimmie Craig Fondal, 22, both of Houston, refused to talk about it. Police said they had had an argument in a recreation hall last Friday. They went outside, police said, walked 25 paces, turned and fired. Both were wounded. Fondal was hospitalized in a fair condition and Williams was jailed.

The charge, which carries a penalty of two to five years, has been made only once before in Harris County in 50 years. Albania, a center of controversy in the Communist bloc, has a population of 1,581,000, living in an area a little larger than Maryland. According to legend, Albanians are descended from an eagle. Hence the Albanian flag shows a two-headed eagle on a solid red field. KC Youth Dies In Shooting Accident KANSAS CITY, Kan.

(AP) James Geiger, 18 (of 29 North Valley Street) was shot to death last night at his home by a companion who was playing with a .32 pistol. Police said the shooting was accidental. William Golden, 18, (of 2506 Grand view Boulevard) told police he didn't know the gun was loaded. He said he pulled the trigger as a joke while pointing the waap- on at Geiger's head. Geiger's wife, Ualetta, verified Golden's account of the accident.

Police found two other cartridges in the gun. Geiger was an Xray orderly at Bethany Hospital. In some fish markets fresh lump crab meat may be had packed separately from fresh flake crab meat.
