As Chancellor
Of W. Germany
BONN (UPD-Chaneellor Kon
rad Adenauer, for 14 years head
of the West German government,
today formally tendered his res
ignation to President Heinrich
Luebke.
Adenauer, 87, travelled from
his chancellory to the presiden
tial palace next door at mid
morning to report to Luebke on
his trip to Berlin Thursday and
to hand in his resignation.
Photographers called on short
notice took pictures of Adenauer
handing Luebke a large ' white
envelope. Only a half hour later
were reporters told the envelope
contained Adenauer's resignation.
According to a schedule agreed
several days ago, Luebke will an
nounce to parliament Tuesday he
has accepted Adenauer's resigna
tion, but asked him to remain
on as caretaker until a succes
sor is elected.
Economics Minister- T.iiriuiirt
Erhard already has. been elected
by the- two parties forming the
government coalition to form the
new government.
Luebke is to send Erhard's
nomination to the parliament
Wednesday, 'i he lower house will
vote on the nomination without
debate.
As the Christian Democrats,
which Adenauer and Erhard lead,
and their partners, the Free
Democrats, together have a ma
jority, Erhard's election is a sure
thing.
The opposition Social Demo
crats have said they will vote
against Erhard, but will respect
his election. In the words of
party leader, West Berlin Lord
Mayor Willy Brandt, the Social
Democrats "will give Erhard a
fair chance." ,

for more than two years, but
killed himself when his lavish
spending gave him away.
Dunlap's breach of U. S. secur
ity was the second case at NSA
in three years. In 1960 NSA math
ematicians Bernon F. Mitchell
and William H. Martin fled to
the Soviet Union by way of Mexi
co and Cuba.
NSA deals with high-level mili
tary intelligence, particularly
codes and ciphers of this coun
try and foreign powers. Its work
is perhaps the most secret of all
government agencies.
Pentagon Says No Access
The Pentagon insisted that
Dunlap, who was originally as
signed to NSA headquarters
at Ft. George G. Meade, Md.,
in April 1958 as a driver, did not
have access to lop secret U. S.
codes and ciphers.
Arthur Sylvester, assistant sec
retary of defense for public af
fairs, said Dunlap had told his
wife he received between $30,000
and $40,000 during the first of
two years of his dealings with
Red spies. Informed sources put
Dunlap's total take at $60,000,
however.
Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga.,
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, who re
ceived a confidential report on
the incident, said he was
"shocked that such a thing as
this could have occurred in this
agency."
Russell said the incident "re
veals a glaring weakness in their
personnel policy." He said his
committee would await the re
sults of a complete investigation
being conducted by the Army's
Counter-Intelligence Corps before
deciding whether to take any ac
tion on its own.
Pentagon officials . would not
comment on whether the FBI or
other government agencies have
established the identity of Dun-
laps Soviet contacts.
Father Of Five
Dunlap, a native of Bogalusa,
La., was married and the father
of five. He joined the Army in
1952 and was "relieved" of his
NSA duties "several weeks" be
fore his suicide last July 23, ac
cording to the Defense Depart
ment. His body was found in his new
yellow Cadillac about a mile
from his home at Glen Burnic,
Md., early on the morning of
July 23. He had run a hose from
the exhaust of the car through
the front window.
Police said it was Dunlap's
second suicide attempt. On June
16, he took an overdose of sleep
ing pills at a motel near Ft.
Meade. He was found about 2:30
p.m. that day by a friend, Robert
Tester of Glen Burnie. Tester
took him to the base hospital
where he was treated and re
leased. Asked about the case, the White
House said through Press Secre
tary Pierre Salinger that the De
fense Department "has indicated
that various government agencies
have investigated and will con
tinue to investigate the matter."

Holdup Man
Hits Tavern
At Gardiner
A gunman with a nervous trig
ger finger, a .38 caliber revolver
and a paper sack Thursday night
held up the Teddy Bear Tavern
at Gardiner.
He shot a hole through the ceil
ing of the tavern, scared the wits
out of a room full of customers

pointed his gun at the ceiling and
fired. The bullet went througn me

apartment being remodeled above
the tavern.
State police and Bob Palmer,
manager of the cafe, adjacent to
the tavern, found the slug on the
floor. The robber added Coady's
change on the bar to his loot and
after warning the customers that
"if anyone sticks his head out the
door in the next five minutes, he'll
get it blown off," he departed.
Some who ventured out the door
said he ran north. It was believed
he had a car , parked nearby.
State police, Douglas county
sheriff's officers and Rcedspnrt
City Police set up roadblocks. The
man was described by witnesses
as about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, wear
ing a dark cap, dark jacket, blue

Karl's manager Lloyd Hastings

Jr., were both high in praise for
the efforts of the city firemen.
You can really appreciate the
kind of work those guys are cap
able of doing when you see them
in action on something like this,"
Phillips said.
A sidelight to the fire was the
theft of $75 from the safe in the
Singer Center. City police are in

Convoy Held;
Showdown
Set By Polk
BERLIN (UPI) - Russian ar
mored vehicles partially blocked
the super-highway in and out of
Berlin today, halting two U. S.
Army military convoys in a dis
pute over clearance procedures.
Civilian traffic between West
Berlin and West Germany was
allowed to move over the auto
bahn with little difficulty.
But the Russians placed ar
mored personnel carriers across
tlie highway to block the passage
of the American convoys, and
vowed they would stay there un
til the new East-West controversy
is settled.
(In Washington, the United
States promptly protested the
latest Soviet action. Secretary of
Stale Dean Rusk summoned So
viet Ambassador Anatoly F. Do
brynin to the State Department to
lodge the protest, indicating that
the United States considered the
new incident as more serious than
other recent ones which normal
ly have been settled at lower
echelons.)
A U.S. Army convoy carrying
61 men has been held at Rus
sia's Babelsberg checkpoint
mile outside Berlin since about 4
a.m. today. A second convoy
from West Berlin joined it about
a.m.
One convoy rolled from West
Berlin to West. Germany today
without incident before the high
way was blocked.
The army said the holdup of
the Berlin-bound convoys, which
started at 9 a.m. Thursday at the
west uerman end of the autobahn
and continued today at Babels
berg is the "result of a unilateral
Soviet attempt to change estab
lished procedure for clearing U.S.
convoy traffic on the autobahn."
u condemned the blocking of
traffic as "a wholly unilateral
act ol the Soviets."
Maj. Gen. James H. Polk, U.S.
commandant in Berlin, ai pre.-
area - lor a luii-scaie showdown
with the Soviets to protect Amer
ican access rights along the vi
tal mgnway between Berlin and
the West, .informed sources said.
The situation was considered
the most serious in Berlin since
U.S. and Russian tanks stood
muzzle to muzzle alone the Ber
lin wall in October, 1961.
The two other convoys stonned
Thursday by the Russians were
permitted to continue their trio
into West Germany.
The convoys were blocked be
cause the United States refused
to accede to Soviet demands to
have its soldiers get out of the
trucks and jeeps and stand be
side the highway while Soviet
guards counted them.
The Army Insisted the Soviets
have no right to do this and said
the soldiers could be counted in
the vehicles, as is the usual pro
cedure. The Army spokesman indicated
that the Soviets' total blockade
of the highway would not be lift
ed as long as the controversy
over the processing of the con
voy troops remained unsolved.
The five convoys involved to
taled more than 500 men and
more than 80 vehicles.
Diplomats felt the flopping may
have been intended as a probe of
Western intentions following the
nuclear test ban treaty and the
general relaxation of tensions in
the cold war.
The diplomats said the Soviets
may have been under the impres
sion that Allied troops were un
der orders to avoid access route
incidents as part of the new "spir
it of Moscow" that followed the
treaty signing. , -J.
If this was the Soviet inten' A,
the Army immediately made it
clear it will not back down m its
determination to keep troops and
vehicles rolling over Berlin's ac
cess routes as often as it chooses.
