Page 6, Daily Reporter, Dover, Oct. 28,1961 QUIET ON BORDER-- FROM PAGE 1 East Berlin without being halted. It carried 22 officers and men, all in uniform. Last Wednesday two similar buses were refused entry by the East Germans and the Americans declined to make an issue of it, saying they did not wish to endanger women aboard. The Soviets were the first to pull back their tanks.

Ninety minutes after the last U. S. tank left, a U. S. Air Force C47 flew into MOSCOW (AP)-Up to noon today, neither the Soviet press nor radio had mentioned the launching Friday of America's giant Saturn rocket.

East Berlin and circled for 10 minutes over the area where 40 tanks are parked. This plane flew at about 600 feet, banking steeply for better vision. Its wing tips were painted a bright orange. The plane circled the immediate area behind the Friedrichstrasse checkpoint 8 to 10 times. It was watched by Brig.

Gen. Frederick O. Hartel, U. S. troops commander in Berlin, from the American side of the border.

Less than an hour later, another flight was made. This time, a C47 flew deeper into East Berlin and at a higher altitude. It made a wide circle over the inner part of East Berlin and Ihen flew back to the West. The Soviets, in a letter delivered Thursday and made pubJic today, protested flights over East Berlin by U. S.

helicopters, contending that East Berlin belongs to the East Germans. The United States rejected the protest, saying such flights were in accord with "long-established usage." The flights could extend the dispute over rights in Berlin to the air lanes, where East and West arc also at odds. Western planes use three air corridors between isolated West Berlin and the Western world. Traffic through them, across Soviet-occupied East Germany, is controlled with Soviet cooperation by the Berlin Air Safety of the few remnants of four-power control in Germany. The East German Communist regime claims air sovereignty over its territory, and Moscow has threatened to recognize it- by signing a separate peace treaty.

The East Germans demand that the Western powers negotiate with them for continued use of the corridors, but the West refuses to talk to the satellite regime or have any dealing with it. Although there was a relieved calm at the wFriedrichstrasse crossing point, an angry crowd of West Berliners surged around a Soviet staff two officers and a uniformed driver and tried to turn it over as it cruised on the western side of the border. The Soviet car, making frequent crossings at Checkpoint Charlie without stopping, ran into the West Berliners on one of its westward trips. The crowd booed and shouted insults and several youths in the crowd seized the car and tried to heave it over. Others banged on the side with their fists.

West German police came up on the double and cleared a way for the cat. Five minutes later, the Soviet car was back on another roundlrip from the East, but this lime it used a side street and avoided the crowd. The critical Berlin dispute over Allied rights of entry into East Berlin was by no means settled. But it obviously meant that the road to possible negotiations would be easier with American and Russian tank guns no longer trained on each other. Shortly after the U.

S. tanks left a crowd of about 500 West Berliners surged forward to the checkpoint. Police pushed them back. A Soviet army sedan came through from East Berlin. The crowd booed and jeered.

Four U. S. MPs with rifles, and four German police escorted the Soviet car through the angry Berliners. People banged their fists on the roof of the sedan. Then the police pushed them away.

After escorting the car safely through the throng, the MPs waved it on and it went on into West Berlin. When the tank withdrawals was completed the Soviets were 1,200 yards from the border and the Americans 800 yards. But abrupt about-turn from the front' answered the hottest question in this tense divided city: Would the Soviet Union or the U.S. tanks be the first to back away from the explosive border. Only a painted white line, a two-foot high barrier, and 200 yards of asphalt had separated the 10 Soviet and 4 American tanks which zeroed in on each other at point-blank range.

A large U.S. Army sedan carrying five uniformed Americans passed through the checkpoint into East Berlin soon after the Soviet tanks had departed. The Soviet tank departure was preceded by a visit by a group of East German army officers to the border. The group included a full colonel, three lieutenant colonels, and several other officers who looked around and apparently were briefed by East German -6 INJURED- FROM PAGE 1 ped to assist in directing traffic. Lanning was pinned under Campbell's car until it was lifted off him by passersby who stopped at the scene.

Reported in "fair" condition at Union Hospital today, he sustained undetermined chest injuries. Rhodes was released after treatment for abrasions and contusions to both legs, and Campbelll was released from Twin City Hospital after treatment for a broken nose.

But it provided tremendous impetus to the U.S.- race to beat the Russians to the moon. Few persons expected complete success on the maiden test.

Prelaunch calculations had placed chances of success at only 30 per cent. Dfr. Robert Seamans, NASA associate administrator, said after wards: "Today we made a significant step forward in development of vehicles we need for space exploration, especially manned space exploration." Dr. Wernher von Braun, chief of NASA's Space Flight Center whose team of German rocket specialists helped develop Saturn, called it a very satisfying flight. He said information from it will lead to improvements in the second Saturn test vehicle, scheduled for launching next March.

A total of 10 research shots are planned before the first operational Saturn, the Cl model, is ready to send useful payloads aloft. The first operational mission in 1964 will be to send the three-man apol- lo spacecraft into earth orbit. A more powerful Saturn C3, with 3-4 million pounds of power in the booster stage, will be used in 1966 to hurl the manned Apollo into lunar orbit. Dr. Hugh Dryden, NASA deputy administrator, said recently that an attempt will be made to mate a Project Mercury capsule with the orbiting second stage of an Atlas-Agena rocket.

The test, probably next year, will determine whether two vehicles can be joined in space. -LAWS- FROM PAGE 1 raised the question of whether the association should go on record for "federal aid."
