BOULEVARD LANES 186-5 Berlin Wall celebrates 18th year I I The Berlin Wall, built 16 years ago Saturday to keep refugees from fleeing Communist East Germany, is being fortified with booby-trap bombs to make it even more difficult to escape, according to reports reaching the West. On the eve of the anniver- sary. East and West Germany began now talks on improving relations. A study group that keeps close track of East German developments said at least 171 persons have died trying to flee to the West since 1961. It said escapes to West Berlin now are i a impossible, but some refugees still manage to get out over the- longer border between East and West Germany.

West German authorities Friday said an East German couple, both 40, fled in a small boat over the Baltic Sea Thursday and were rescued by a West German yacht, bringing to 171,066 the number of persons who have escaped since the wall was built. A border guard who escaped two months told a news conference that East Germany is installing new fist-sized booby-trap bombs that detonate at the touch on barricades along its western border. "They splinter and spit shrapnel in all directions," he told the news conference held by an organization named the "Aug. 13 Study Group," after the date the wall was built. He said authorities tested the new booby traps in April and called the result "ex- cellent." "Shrapnel pierced the body of a 17-year-old refugee trying to escape to the West German state of Hesse in many places," the former guard said.

"He was in very bad shape. I do not know if he survived." Mri. RuMell Slender ind daughters, Claire and Karen of San Diego, are housegueiU of her filter, Mrs. Emil Zoucha and family while visiting her mother, Mrs. Helen Korgie at Columbus Manor and other relatives.

A decline in regular gasoline prices in Nebraska last month was offset by a bigger tax bite which pushed the average cost per gallon to a record 62.9 cents, the Cornhusker Motor Club said today.

A month ago, the motor club said the Nebraska regular gasoline price average was 62.3 cents per gallon including an cent state and 4 cent federal tax. The motor club said the state gasoline tax increased to cents per gallon Aug. 1 to offset a .4 of a cent decrease in the gasoline cost. Without any state or federal taxes, gasoline last month would have sold for 49.8 cents per gallon, while the latest results showed the cost at 49.4 cents per gallon. The motor club said the premium gasoline price aver- age obtained from the 154 station survery during the first week this month was 67.9 cents per gallon while the average unleaded fuel cost was 65.9 cents per gallon.

Omaha motorists continued to pay the lowest price for regular gas of 61.6 cents per gallon while Lincoln motorists paid the most with a top statewide price of 64.6 cents per gallon. The highest price for any gasoline was 75.9 cents per gallon for premium at an 1-80 station while the lowest price was 55.9 cents per gallon of regular gas at an Omaha station. The motor club said the self service stations had prices from 2 to 6 cents per gallon lower than the full service outlets. Average gasoline price re- sults from the six'city survey were: a a regular .61.6, premium 66.9, unleaded 65.1. Lincoln: regular 64.6, premium 69.4, unleaded 67.3.

Berkowitz begins battery of testing City Briefs NEW YORK (UPI) -David Berkowitz, the self-confessed killer known as "Son of Sam," Friday began under-going a battery of psychiatric tests to determine if he can be held criminally responsible for the ambush murders of six young men and women in the last year. Officials said Berkowitz, 24, would spend at least the next two weeks locked in "Spar- tan" quarters in building at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn as psychiatrists begin probing his thoughts in conversations and formal tests. Guards watch him through a reinforced glass panel in a door. "I'll try to engage the man in conversation and as the conversation flows, that is how it will go," Daniel Sch- wartz, director of forensic psychiatry, said Friday. "It will be my function to ascertain whether or not he understands what is going on, if he is criminally responsible for his act whether he can assist in his defense," Sch- wartz said, adding the tests would take about two weeks "perhaps a little longer." Schwartz refused to say what, if any, discussion he has had with the accused killer so far.

At the same time Friday, old friends of the suspected killer told of how Berkowitz underwent a vast tran- sformation in the A casting off his conservative upbringing to espouse radical left-wing groups and ex- perimenting with and other drugs. "He was in Korea for a year or so and he used to tell us how heavily into dope he was," said Paul Billow, 25, a security officer at Saginaw (Mich.) Valley College who knew Berkowitz in the Army at Fort Knox, Ky. "When I first met him in 1973," Billow said, "he was a Jesus Freak," having re- nounced his adoptive parents' Judaism and becoming a Baptist. "Where he was outgoing and a source of laughs, he became sullen and reclusive. He didn't want to gef involved in anything." Billow also said he believed Berkowitz had a "hang-up" about women, particularly those with dark hair, because of his experiences in Korea.

"He'd talk about how liberal the Korean girls were about sex and that," Billow said. "He'd tell us how they'd just come up to him on the streets and proposition him. I think all but the last of his victims had black hair. Maybe these girls (his victims) taunted him somehow." Berkowitz, who is under 24- hour-a-day guard, was com- pletely isolated Friday in a room large enough for three beds and a toilet.

One hour a day, Schwartz said, Berkowitz is allowed into the day room of the prison ward, either before or after the other inmates have been there, where he can watch television.

Thursday night, a band of about five youths stood out- side the hospital chanting, "We want Sam." They were briefly detained. Other citizens called the hospital demanding to avenge Sam's year-long reign of terror. In response, the officials locked and double-locked all stairwell doors, and ordered all visitors to be searched. Extra guards were hired. Meanwhile, a special Brooklyn grand jury con- vened for two hours Friday to consider an indictment against Berkowitz, a stocky Army veteran with a shurp- shooter's medal, in the death of 20-year-old Stacy Moskowitz and the near blind- ing of Violante.

The grand jury heard several witnesses, including the arresting officers and the cop who ticketed Berkowitz's illegally parked car a short distance from where Miss Moskowitz was fatally wounded. The Jury will reconvene Monday, when it is expected to return an in- dictment. Police sources have said Berkowitz, an adopted child with apparently no love life, has admitted he is the caliber gunman who terrorized New York City for more than a year, occasioning manhunts larger than those for London's Jack the Ripper and the Boston Strangler. Berkowitz' father, Nathan, flew to New York City from his home in Florida and said he would hold a news con- ference Saturday in the office of his son's attorney, Leon Stern, in Mineola, L.I. Berkowitz was arrested Wednesday night as he got into his car outside his small studio apartment in Yonkers, N.Y., where he lived alone.

In his car was a fully loaded Bulldog revolver, which police later determined was Son of Sam's murder weapon, and a submachine gun and clips of ammunition. A letter found in the car indicated he was planning an attack on a Long Island discotheque with the machinegun. Son of Sam struck eight limes in quiet residential areas in Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn since July 29, 1976. Three towns unique with singular names Three Platte County communities Piatte Center, Cornlea and Tarnov can each lay claim to being "one of a kind." According to the United States Postal Directory, they are the only places in the nation bearing those names. Humphrey almost stands alone, but another community of that designation can be found in Arkansas.

On the other hand, Columbus as might be expected is a rather common monicker.
