M.

M. Sundt Construction Co. entered a bid of for the addition to the west side of Arizona Stadium plus a new press box. The UA had been granted approval for the sale of in revenue bonds to finance the construction. Sundt's bid will be taken into consideration by the State Board of Regents when it meets here Dec.

The bid is way, way over what we had expected nd hoped for As I understand it there will be a quick re-study the Re gents to see if anything can be done. Clausen added that al though he feels the addition is needed very nuch, "I have to use good judgment as far as the university is concerned in line with a workable fi nancial arrangement." The time factor, even if approval is given, becomes important now and there is a possibility that the addition might not be ready for the 1964 season. If it can't be ready for the '64 opener, construction would be delayed at least another year.

Arizona Stadium now has just over 22,600 permanent seats and Clausen had sought to the additional construction to give more and better seat ing from goal line to goal line. The plan ca'ls to add 35 rows of seats to west side stadium. There would be no second level. To accommodate the construction the addition would be spanned oVe: Vine Avenue. Plans also called for a press box atop the new stadium and also to have the lights placed at the rear of the stadium.

The lights now are on the side of the field. Construction on the stadium addition at first was to have, started last month so as to have the new seating ready for the 1964 season which opens here Sept. 26 against Brigham Young University.

U.S. Believes Wall Will Not Be The Same WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 UP) State Department officials expressed belief Friday that the Berlin Wall never will be quite the same again.

This statement was made as Washington paid close attention to the first large-scale entry of West Berliners into Communist East Berlin granted by the Reds since the city-dividing barrier was set up in 1961. The State Department authorities said they believe there will be additional discussions, additional contracts which will amount to a wider move forward than just a one-shot Christmas-time opening of the border. They did not go into detail on how this border movement might proceed. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, at an unannounced news conference, expressed pleasure that West Berliners have a chance to see their families in East Berlin again. Rusk voiced hope that both sides will take special care to avoid incidents.

the floor a revamped foreign aid money bill. If approval isn't given, the bill and Congress would have to lay over for another day. The compromise foreign aid measure was finally worked out in a long session of a Sen-ate-Housa conference commit tee and in behind the scenes maneuvers with President Johnson reportedly burning up the wires from the White House. The bill carries $3 billion in new appropriations $1.5 bil lion below what the admin istration originally a and giving the President authority to approve government guaranteeing of private financing of U.S. wheat sales to Soviet bloc countries.

About 100 members were on hand when the House re convened and Rep. H. Gross, R-Iowa, raised a point of order that a quorum was not present. Leaders hustled about to begin the long process of calling the roll of 435 members; 218 are needed for a majority, or quorum. The conferees had reached agreement shortly before 10:30 p.m.

and Democratic leaders indicated then that the House would reconvene in about half an hour to take up the appropriation measure. The long delay in calling the House was caused by the need for a special rule to block expected Republican claims that the grant of presidential power involved new authority which could be given only in separate legislation. Shortly before 1 a.m. the rules committee met in emergency session and the special rule was voted at 1:40 a.m. When the House takes up the bill, an hour's debate will be permitted.

After that there will be one or more roll calls, each requiring 30 to 45 minutes. This would mean it would be two to four hours before the measure assuming its passage by the House could move on to the Senate which is to stand by waiting House action. In the Senate, there will be no time limitation on debate which means action could be delayed for hours or it could be voted through in relatively few minutes if no debate develops. After three fruitless sessions, the conferees finally agreed to set the appropriations at $3 billion and to grant the President authority to approve government guarantees of credit for sales of wheat to Communist nations. 3D.

Rec 2D Radio-TV 9C Sports I-3C Weather 4A Chamizal Pact Signed By President i' WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 UP) President Johnson signed today the Chamizal treaty aimed at ending a century-old boundary dispute with Mexico. Johnson called the treaty a symbol of friendship between the United States and Mexico and said it shows that, "If we understand the other fellow's viewpoint, difficult international problems can be resolved." Under the treaty, Mexico is to get back 437 acres of territory it lost to El Paso, late in the 1800s by a change in the course of the Rio Grande. The river had been established earlier as the boundary.

Approval by both chambers still is needed. The final money figure compared with $4.5 billion originally asked by President John F. Kennedy, a lion ceiling authorized by both chambers, $2.8 billion voted by the House and $3.27 billion voted by the Senate. In addition to the $3 billion in new appropriations, the compromise measure provides for a reappropriation of $259 million in carry-over funds from last year to make $3,259 billion available for spending in the current fiscal year. The compromise measure would allow the President to approve export-import bank guarantees of credits for wheat sales to Communist countries provided he feels this would be in the national interest.

This was substituted for a flat prohibition against such government backed credits voted into the bill by the House. Shortly after the conference agreement was announced at 10:20 p.m., some House Republicans said they would oppose the compromise on the wheat -sale matter. Other major issues already have been shelved until the 88th Congress reconvenes in its second session on Jan. 7 and only a few hours would be required to end this session if the votes for the compromise can be rounded up. The adjournment will come after an lll2 -month session, a near-record.

Foremost among the big controversies put off until next year are the civil rights bill and a House-approved $1 1-billion tax-cut measure. The administration-backed omnibus civil rights bill is in the House Rules Committee with hearings scheduled to start Jan. 9. After House action the measure will go to the Senate where it faces an almost certain southern filibuster. The tax-cut measure is be ing reshaped by the Senate Finance Committee with no clear indication of when it will be sent to the Senate floor.

The path to adjournment opened only after a day of on-again-off-again Drospects. (Continued on 2A, Col. 1) Orbs Might Tend To Draw Together POINT ARGUELLO, Dec. 20 UP) Two man-made "Christmas Stars" were sighted in orbit Friday and a U.S. Space Agency spokesman said they "might tend to draw together" as legend says the planets Jupiter and Saturn did to form the original Christmas star.

One of the new "Stars" is the Explorer 19 balloon satellite launched here Thursday atop a Scout rocket The other is the cannister from which the folded plastic and aluminum balloon, 12 feet in diameter and covered with white polka dots, was ejected 28 minutes after launch. Both are expected to be visible to the naked eye for the next three to five years at their closest approach to earth 365 miles the spokesman said. They were sighted with high-power binoculars Friday at an optical tracking station near Woomera, Australia, as they wung back from the farthc point of their 116-minute orbit 1,490 miles in space. Neither has internal illumination but should be visible as moving pinpoints of light when struck by rays of the sun just below the horizon. This would happen, the spokesman said, whenever their orbit around the earth's poles carries them into dawn or twilight zones around the turning globe.

The balloon, bigger and more subject to "drag" of sparsely scattered air molecules in space, should seem to slow down in relation to the cannister, the spokesman said. "It's quite likely they will draw together," the spokesman said, "although I doubt they will actually come in contact." The heavenly spectacle, if It occurs, will bring to mind the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the years 7 and 6 B.C., when the earth in its orbit around the sun overtook the other two planets. From earth, the two seemed to draw close together and there has been speculation over the centuries that this may have been the star that guided the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem. Some biblical historians now believe the date of Christ's birth difficult to fix exactly probably was several years prior to the start of calendars now in use. Until the sighting, there was doubt whether Explorer 19 had achieved orbit and inflated as planned.

Also at his news conference Chou termed the assassination of President Kennedy "a most reprehensible and despicable act.

Its propaganda agencies had called the dead President's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, an active supporter of Kennedy's "various reactionary policies." kisses. Erika Schmidt wept. Hans Schmidt is not his real name.

He does not want his name used because he fears Communist retaliation against his family. Erika Schmidt had traveled for 16 hours by train from deep inside Communist East Germany for the reunion with her son. It was the first time they had been together since the Berlin Wall was built 28 months ago. As they cried and laughed together, mother and son at first were without words, Hans held his mother at arms' length. She smiled through her tears and said: "But you're putting on weieht." Then Hans stood aside for the woman and the small toddler who had followed him up the steps.

The two women fell into each other arms. The younger was Christel, Hans' wife, whom his mother had never met. No introductions were needed. They recognized each other from photographs. Christel turned to the child 16-month-old Anna.

"Well," she asked Erika, "does the baby meet the standards of the Schmidt family." "More than enough," Erika replied. Hans had last seen his mother more than 2V2 years ago when she visited him in his West Berlin bachelor quarters. At the time Hans had mentioned a young milliner he had met. Shortly after that meeting, the Communists built the wall dividing this city. Hans became engaged to Christel and married her.

Since then, his mother knew about Christel from numerous letters Hans had written and from photographs he took.
