WS-HERA SEC. DEL RIO, TEXAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 18, 1963 East German Crashes Wall in Armored Car By JOHN O. KOEHLER BERLIN (AP)An East German youth who smashed through Berlin's Red wall in an East German army armored car Wednesday night was reported in satisfactory condition today despite a bullet wound in his chest. A doctor said if everything goes well, he will be out of the hospital in three weeks. Wolfgang Engels, 19, suffered wounds in his chest and hand and multiple cuts and abrasions.

His daring escape was the talk of West Berlin today. Engels took the Sovet-made armored car out of the East German army garage where he worked as a civilian mechanic. Shortly before 3 o'clock Wednesday night, ho careened down the east side of Elsenstrasse toward the wall, shouting, am going over! Who wants to with me?" Communist border guards fired their weapons as the nine-gun vehicle plowed into the first concrete barrier. The impact sprung the rear armor-plated doors and two bullets hit Engels. The car got stuck in the second wall, which forms the border with West Berlin.

Unable to crawl through the hole because the car was blocking it, the wounded youth climbed atop the seven-foot wall, shouting for help. As the East Berlin guards kept firing, the youth got tangled in the barbed wire atop the wall, then pitched forward and hit the sidewalk in the West Berlin district of Neukoelln, in the American sector. A lone West Berlin policeman, on patrol near the scene, fired several shots into the East sector in an attempt to give the youth cover. The officer was slightly injured by concrete fragments splintered off the by the East German bullets. Angry West Berliners were held back from the wall by West Ber- lin police.

Many shouted "Pigs!" and "Murderers!" as the East German guards pulled the armored car out of the debris. Experts Allay Fears Gals Taking Over Jobs WASHINGTON robust men are beginning to worry with women entering the work force in ever growing the gals are pushing the men out on the unemployment rolls. The experts at the Labor Department say there is no real ground for such fears. With 4.5 million workers unemployed, considerable attention was directed to a recent Labor Department announcement that a third of all married women are now holding paid jobs as well as their husbands. Moreover, the total of working women is rising faster than that of men.

This is an indication of what is happening in industrial life. Introduction of machines and technical innovations have an accom- paying increase in the amount of paperwork required, typically women's work. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz reflects a feeling held in many quarters that jobs should be filled on the basis of ability rather than sex. "Women play an important role in our economic life.

Their contribution as factory workers, teachers, nurses, secretaries, typists, laboratory aides, librarians and in other occupations is a major factor in production of our needed goods and services," Wirtz told the Associated Press. "The charge is often.made that women workers are filling jobs they do not need and which could be filled by unemployed men if the women were not working. Our studies show that women work for the same reasons that men support themselves and their dependents. Women's earnings in many families are a substantial factor in meeting living costs.

Gen. Georges P. Vanier named Pearson to take over after Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker resigned, effective Monday. His Conservative party trailed Pearson's Liberals in the national elections April 8.

President Kennedy maintained silence on a recommendation by the Civil Riglits Commission that he look into his legal authority to cut off funds to counter what the group said was "open and flagrant violation of constitutional guarantees" of Negro citizens seeking to vole in Mississippi.

I seemed likely to make it more There was no indication the difficult for administration leaders Negroes Praise, Pray For Billie Sol Estes NASHVILLE, Tcnn. Negroes of the Nashville Christian Institute brush aside Billie Sol Estes' mountain of troubles as an ant hill over in West Texas. What counts, they said, is his good Christian heart. And Estes appears to have to get congressional approval of Kennedy's recommendation for a four-year extension of life for the commission and a broadening of its authority. Unless Congress acts before then, the commission would go out of existence in November.

There already is general recog- nigilion that the commission matter is the only civil rights issue likely to be pushed to a vote this year. Otherwise, Kennedy's program in this field probably will await election year consideration. Chairman James O. Eastland, of the Senate Judiciary Committee which passes on all civil rights proposals, called the commission's recommendation for cutting off payments on highways, flood control, military contracts integration. If he goes to the anc i ne U.S.-aided programs President planned any action toward carrying out such a proposal which would be hailed by minority voters in the large industrial states but would be certain to stir resentment among white voters in the South.

Nevertheless Southern senators erupted with bitter condemnation of the suggestion while civil rights advocates of both parties praised it.

After a full day and half a night of being praised and prayed for, the 38-year-oId promoter left the institute beaming. And he parted with kind words for the press.

Estes was taken to the home of a Negro-family where the lady of the house works as a maid, He was driven there by the Rev.

Rose said Esles sponsored his education from grade school i through divinity school. When a reporter for the Nashville Tennessean tired of having his questions answered with a cold stare, he buttonholed Estes and started to say good night. "No comment," Estes snapped again. Then he grinned and "I realize that you fellows have a job to do. I just you.

I don't even see you when you try to talk to me. But I love you Estes dropped in unexpectedly Wednesday on the small Negro school which he often helped before his financial empire collapsed last year into a rubble of worthless mortgages. The institute has 238 Negro students from kindergarten through high school and is affiliated with the of Christ, of which Estes is former lay ministery.

What may lead to an end of parcel post, Day told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday, is "an impossible hodgepodge of legislation" that he said would require radical increases in the rates, for handling packages. Day tied the chance for suspension of Saturday service and possible denial of service to new homes and the $92 million cut by the House from the 56-billion Post Office-Treasury appropriation bill. The Senate subcommittee chairman, A. Willis Robertson, didn't give Day cause for much cheer. Only about one-fourth of what the House cuts is eventually restored before Congress completes its work on the budget, the Virginia he Social Credit party announced Democrat told the postmaster general.

The parcel post situation stems from a provision requiring the department to set parcel post rates so that revenues for this service are within 4 per cent of costs. The department loses money on parcel accounts for SI27 million of the $231-million deficit expected in the year if the provision is followed, Day said, over-all rates would have to go up at least 25 per cent and the rates on smaller packages about 40 per cent. Appealing for a Senate rider to cancel the 4-per-ccnt formula for a year, Day described the provi sion as His reasoning: The increase in rates will drive away business, throwing parcel post deeper in the red. hat six of its members who had pledged formally to back the Liberal leader had withdrawn their pledges.

Pearson said that after taking he oath of office Monday, he will the "60 days of decision" promised during the campaign, a period he said would produce more constructive proposals than any government in history. High on the list will be the question of accepting U.S. nuclear warheads for Canada's Bomarc missiles and its air force units serving with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces in West Germany.

U.S. criticism of the Conservative government's refusal to accept the warheads was one factor in the government's overthrow. Pearson said Canada should make good on its pledge to take the nuclear arms, then negotiate with the United States to get rid of them.
