Harzerstrasse Loses Half Of Its Population Today BERLIN (AP) Pleasant little Harzerstrasse, on the edge of the Soviet sector of Berlin, lost half its population today. Moving vans guarded by Com munist police and troops moved into the side streets leading to Harzerstrasse from the north and immediately began moving out the East Berlin families whose windows overlook the capitalists in Harzerstrasse. Last week the Communists bricked up doors of the East Berlin homes leading into Har zerstrasse and built a concrete wall with barbed wire crowns across the ends of the side streets. The street and sidewalks of Harzerstrasse are in the Ameri can sector, but all the apart ments on the north side for sev eral blocks are in Communist territory. They have doors both on Harzerstrasse and the side streets. The Communists either couldn't trust their masonry work or couldn't bear the thought of some body sliding to freedom down a rope from the four and five-story apartments.

Brawny movers brought out crates of dishes, stoves, dressers and beds and piled them into vans under the eyes of the soldiers and police. The movers made it clear they were unhappy about their job, and they didn t seem to care whether the police knew it. "Not me, not me," one of them called as a photographer took a picture tnrough the barbed wire. "Wait until I put this box down and tnen you can take it." The soldiers cocked their rifles as the photographers moved in. The housewives across the street looked up at the windows of their unfortunate friends. What would happen to them? Nobody Knew. "They'll be moved deener into the sector, maybe even into the Russian zone," one said with a shudder. An angry woman shouted "Homebreaker!" at the soldiers. When a Red officer threatened a cameraman, another woman shouted "What insolence!" The one little food store on the north side of the street has long oeen closed ana snuttered. and the Philippines. Hong Kong health officials re ported 32 confirmed cases of chol erathe first since 1947 and 20 suspected cases. Social workers said the total may be as high as 100 but they have not been N. Y. Calls Special Session On Scandal-Ridden Schools ALBANY. N.Y. (AP) Gov. Nel-1 Comptroller Arthur Levitt against son A. Rockefeller called upon a Wagner in a primary fight for the snecial session of the New York Legislature today to declare a state of emergency in tne scanaai ridden school system of New York City. The Republican-controlled legis lature was ready to approve, the GOP governor s recommendations for a series of sweeping reforms. Minority Democrats balked at some details. The New York City administra tion is Democratic-controlled. Rockefeller, in a message pre pared for the special session, told the lawmakers: "The crisis in New York City's public schools stems from the reluctance of city leadership to assume its responsi bilities and take decisive action." The New York City school sys tem, which includes a million Duoils. 40.000 teachers, 800 schools and an annual operating budget of $650 million, has been beset by charges of graft and corruption in building programs, hazardous conditions in present schools and inefficient administration. i Rockefeller asked the legisla ture to:' 1. Proclaim a state of emergen cy in the giant school system throughout ' the next school year. 2. Authorize Mayor Robert F. Wagner to appoint a new, nine- member school board from a se lect list of 18 nominees to be sub mitted by a panel of educators and other community leaders. 3. Require the new board to make periodic reports of what it does to eliminate corruption and otherwise improve conditions in the system. Wagner has agreed to accept the legislation proposed by the State Education Department. The Democratic minority while agreeing there was a need for new school board, argued that it should not be appointed until the mayor chosen at the Nov. 7 elec tion takes office. They also held the board should be salaried. Practically all Democrats in the legislature are from New York City. Most of those minor ity members are Supporting State Democratic nomination for may or. Wagner, involved in a rugged battle for re-election, has broken with the regular, Democratic city organization, which is supporting Levitt in the party primary Sept. 7. Rockefeller is backing State Atty. Gen. Louis J. Lefkowitz, Re publican in the mayoral fight. Captain Asks Hold On Cuban Vessel NORFOLK, Va. (AP) The captain of the Cuban freighter Bahia de Nipe has appealed to President Kennedy to hold the vessel here until the families of defecting crewmen get out of Cuba. The 3,800-ton, sugar-laden ship lay at anchor today in nearby Lynnhaven Roads under watch by the Coast Guard. A hearing resumed before U.S. Dist-. Judge Walter E. Hoffman will determine whether the ship can be seized by U.S. marshals for settlement of debts claimed by several persons. Jorge Gustin Navarro, the ship's captain, said Sunday night that he had sent a letter to the President asking him to hold the ship here until the families of the crewmen seeking sanctuary in this country are out of Cuba. The Stale Department in Wash ington said it has received a for mal request from Prime Minister Fidel Castro for return of the freighter. The Bahia de Nipe has been under Coast Guard control since it sailed into Lynnhaven Roads i near here Thursday, Navarro and 10 crewmen asked political asy lum in the United States and were taken off the ship pending a de- cision on their status. Navarro and the 10 had im ! prisoned 23 other crewmen on the ' vessel and sailed to the United i States. The ship originally was bound for undisclosed Iron Cur tain porta with about 5,000 tons of sugar. I At Saturday's hearing, Hoffman heard a request from Secretary of State Dean Rusk that the ves sel be freed. Rusk's statement, !in a letter to Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, was dictated by tele phone to the court. reported. The English-language South China Morning Post reported a few days ago that cholera had killed 30,000 in China's southeast Kwangtung Province. The Com munists were reported holding mass meetings to blame the Americans for the epidemic raising the germ-warfare charges they did in the Korean War. Hod China is the main source of Hong Kong's food supplies and health inspectors have been post ed on the border to check all shipments coming into the colony. The scare has brought travel between China' and Hong Kong to a virtual standstill. With supplies of anti-cholera vaccine running low, shipments were being flown in from Britain, the United States and a half-dozen other countries. Swimming pools are closed, beaches practically deserted and I many restaurants refuse to servo uncooked dishes. As thousands flocked to inocula tion centers, medical teams flew senim by helicopter to remoie villages and outlying islands. Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Na tionalist government on Formosa opened 10 health stations in Tai pei to give free anti-cholera in oculations. An epidemic claimed 2,210 lives in Formosa in 1SI56 but the island has been reported free of cholera since then. Import of all but canned food from Hong Kong was banned. Shipping and air lines in the Brit ish colony were told not to sell anyone a ticket for Formosa un less he had been inolucatcd with in the last five days. Formosan laboratories were put on an overtime basis to produce serum. The Free China Relief As sociation offered tu send serum to the Communists on the main landbut the offer is expected to be turned down. Pciping has not admitted the outbreak. The Philippines also began a nationwide vaccination campaign. About 100 to 150 persons arrive daily in Manila from Hong Kong by airlines. All were being isolat ed on landing unless they couid show vaccination certificates. Of ficials were confiscating food the travelers brought with them.

The evangelist put forth the program Sunday at the start of a month-long Greater Philadel phia Crusade at Convention Hall. Graham said the president should: 'First, call for a United Na tions General Assembly meeting to find out why the refugees are fleeing East Germany. ' Secondly, the President should again spell out in a speech in no uncertain terms that we will not retreat, compromise or appease anywhere in the world that from now on we are starting a peace ful counter-offensive to roll com munism back in Eastern Europe. "Third, the President should call a day of prayer as a time of petition to God to intervene in the world situation, that we might have the courage to do His will for a just peace. A major part of our praying would be for the people under communism." , Graham said that as a minis ter, he does not usually discuss political situations butj "I feel it is time for the preacher to speak out." He said, "Our help must come from God. If we depend upon mil itary power alone, we're fin ished." Dr. Graham, opening his 116th crusade and his 35th major one in this country, spoke to a capac ity crowd of 15,000 in Convention Hall after delivering a brief mes sage from a second-story window to hundreds who stood in the rain in the street.
