Both Brandt's Socialists and the opposition Christian Demo crats are going to try to make political capital out of it. ' The Soviet leader invited Brandt Thursday to cross the Berlin wall for a talk on the future of the cold war outpost city. Brandt turned him down, at least for the moment, "with great regret." ' Brandt's refusal was forced by the Christian Democrats, the junior partners in the coalition that rules the city. The mayor said that neither the Western occupation authorities nor West . German Chancellor Konrad Ad enauer objected to his meeting Khrushchev. . "I had the impression," Brandt told a news conference, "that I made a decision against ;omething which objectively I ; consider necessary." ; Now he will tell the voters ; that the Christian Democrats forced him to miss a chance to i make it easier for West Berlin' I crs to cross the wall for visits ; to friends and relatives in the ; East. ; The Christian Democrats will .argue that it was 'wrong of Brandt to even consider talks with Khrushchev if only be cause it would enable the Com imunists to say that he was al .'rcady acting like the head of a ;"frce city of West Berlin." The ;Wcst has emphatically rejected ;tho Communist idea of such a ;"free city." j' West Berlin's voters go to -the polls Feb. 17 to elect the .city's 133-mcmbcr house of rep resentatives. Brandt's Socialists tare expected to retain their ma jority without difficulty. But ; they probably will want to con tinue their teamwork with the ' Christian Democrats to show .'that West Bcrlincrs, regardless ! of party, agree on a basic pulicy ;of loyalty to West Germany ; and opposition to the Commu - hist rule that surrounds them. Plot Linked iTo Algeria : TUNIS (tf President Habib '. Bourguiba charged Friday that I the recent plot against his life : had help from neighboring Al - gcria. He said the Tunisian am. bassador to Algiers will be re- called. Bourguiba told a crowd of : more than 200,000 that Tunisia's : frontiers with Algeria will be severely controlled. lie said his government Is ready to "resume our relations K with Algeria but mutual respect and sincerity should bo estab lished." Bourguiba asserted that some . members of the Algerian gov ; eminent had a hand in the re ; ported conspiracy and blamed the policies of Premier Ahmed : Ben Bella. "Not all members of the Al- - Kenan government were in - volved," Bourbuiba said. "Most of them criticize the policy of Ben Bella toward us. "It is surprising and paradoxl ral to see Algeria as soon as it became independent, thanks to the aid given by Tunisia bo- como a residence for the crim- , inals and platters against the , government of Tunisia. . . !

Turkey Eyed shift was reported in the works with U.S.-built Jupiter rockets In by Polaris missiles at sea, developed has been spelled out summer the Defense Department Jupiter missiles was contemolated, Nikita S. Khrushchev that the Turkish bases be dismantled in return for Russia's withdrawing missiles from Cuba. It is apparent, however, that plans for "modernizing" NATO weapons have been discussed and that the Jupiters in north ern Italy and near the Turkish Black Sea coast likely will be casualties. Fanfanl Stirs Thinking There are 30 Jupiters in Italy and 13 In Turkey. Latest thinking came to the surface during the visit here this week of Italian Premier Amintore Fanfani. The Italian leader himself bespoke "the most serious consideration" of the Nassau pact envisioning a submarine-based Polaris force under some kind of still unsDec- liiea NATO control. All U. S. officials said was that modernization of weapons systems was a matter of con tinuing concern to NATO and it could be "assumed that the subject of modernization is be ing discussed with tho Italians." It was made clear unofficially that the matter of withdrawing the Jupiter missiles from Italy and deploying Polaris subma rines' in the Mediterranean was part of the modernization proc ess under discussion. . There were intimations that similar arrangement at the other end of the Mediterranean would be discussed. How either Italy or Turkey would participate in a subma rine force has not been ex plained. They have an equal say with America on the launch-, ing of Jupiter missiles on their territory. Nine Subs Afloat Tho U. S. Navy now has nine Polaris submarines afloat and soon will begin to organize a second squadron to comprise nine subs, which it may deploy in the Mediterranean and base at tho huge U.S. naval facility at Kola, Spain, if suitable ar rangements are worked out with Madrid. The Jupiter missile and the Thor, which is being disman tled in England, are the only major weapons that America has developed and supplied to foreign powers but not de ployed itself. Sixty Thors, which like the Jupiter have a 1,500-mile range, were sent to England under a 1957 agreement between Presi dent Eisenhower and Prime Minister Macmillan. Tho Jupiters were Installed in Turkey and Italy under a post-Sputnik agreement in 1957 when NATO determined to bol ster its strength in the face of Russian rocket advances. The Polaris is regarded here as much less vulnerable than the above ground, liquid-fueled Thors and Jupiters. It fits a seeming Kennedy administra tion concept that a portion at least of the NATO deterrent should be kept at sea.

X15 Flight Proves New Control Idea EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPD Chief space agency pilot Joe Walker shot the X15 rocket ship 51 miles into space Thursday in the second highest flight ever made by a winged aircraft. Walker's flight to 270,000 feet was only nine miles below the XISs world airplane altitude record of nearly 60 miles, set last year by Air Force Major Bob White. His near-record climb also virtually proved a new method of gaining more control for re entry from space by removing the X15's lower tail fin. "It was a major step toward much higher flights into space." the veteran research pilot said after streaking the "manned missile" 3,716 miles an hour more than a mile a second. The previous second highest mark was nearly 47 miles, held by Walker and White. Walker also is the world's fastest fly ing aircraft pilot, having flashed the X15 to a record 4,195 m.p.h. During Thursday's soaring flight Walker experienced weightlessness for two to three minutes as the X15 shot "over the top" in a ballistic arc. His body also was subjected to five times the force of gravity. The test was the most ad vanced to dale in a series to confirm the belief of space sci entists that elimination of the lower tail fin provides greater stability for returning from space. The lower fin, one of four at the ship's tail, was de signed, ironically, to increase stability. Court Hears Georgia Case WASHINGTON OfPll The Su preme Court took under advise ment Thursday a challenge to Georgia's county unit voting Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, arguing part of the government's case, urged that Georgians be granted a "free and unencum bered" vote. Jacqueline Kennedy and the attorney general's wife. Ethel, were among the spectators. Kennedy asked the court to strike down (he particular coun ty unit system now in use by Georgia but not necessarily to rule that any county unit sys tem must in itself be invalid.

U.N. troops were reported From Cuba Back to U.S. Even while the airliner's car go of medicines was swiftly un loaded and rushed off in Soviet-built trucks, the American repatriates moved through im migration checkpoints. By 10 a.m. (EST), Swiss dip lomats said 64 had been cleared. They clustered around the big Douglas aircraft waiting to climb aboard. Swiss Ambassador Emil Sta dclhofer, who handles U.S. in tresls in Cuba, was on hand. On the Cuban side were two offi cials in military uniforms to check the papers of the home ward-bound Americans. The departing group included men, women and children. Some wore their Sunday best, others sports clothes. All were traveling light, usually carrying only one piece of luggage. Un der Cuban law they can take only three or four changes of clothing and if they are the last immediate members of a family leaving all real estate and automobiles they own in Cuba must be forfeited to the state. Swiss diplomats said they pay only normal passport fees amounting to 3 pesos, 22 cents ($3.22 at official rate). The American Red Cross is to pay their fare. The Swiss said so far there have been no arrangements for making use of the U.S. freighter Shirley Lvkes, the modern car go liner steaming to Cuba under the Red Cross flag. The liner was due in Havana Friday with 7,310 tons of food and drugs, in another payment in tho ran som offered Prime Minister Fi del Castro for liberated pris oners.

Tshombe said he would order his gendarmes in Kolwezi not to resist U.N, troops and to dis mantle the explosives they had planted in the refining plants of the Union Miniere Co., along the big hydroelectric dam and under bridges. The Katangan leader told newsmen earlier all orders to blow up Kolwezi installations had been suspended. His scorched-Earth threat had pre vented U.N. forces from march ing on the mining center. The United Nations in turn agreed to protect the Katanga gendarmes and not treat them as prisoners of war. They will be permitted to keep their uni forms and Tshombe will be al lowed a personal bodyguard of gendarmerie. The Tshombe-U.N. agreement, as announced over Katanga Ra dio, specified that: Tshombe will take all neces sary measures to insure that U.N. entry "shall take place peacefully with the cooperation of all concerned, including the gendarmerie and local authori ties." The United Nations will com plete its peaceful entry into Kolwezi by Jan. 21. Until completion of arrange ments for integration of the gendarmerie into the Congolese national army in accordance with Secretary-General U Thant's unification plan, the United Na tions will assure the security of the gendarmes.

The record total exceeded 1961 income by $24 billion. The Commerce Department said that with individual income and -Other personal taxes up $5 billion, receipts available for spending and saving increased 5 per cent to $383 billion. And this, it said, was almost entirely a genuine pocketbook increase as consumer prices rose about 1 per cent. Wages and salaries jumped $17 billion, or 6 per cent over 1961, to $295.8 billion. Manu facturing payrolls advanced $6 billion to $93.6 billion. Recession Recovery The department attributed most of the increase to recovery from the 1960-61 recession. In non-manufacturing indus tries, payrolls increased $6.2 bil lion to $122.5 billion. Govern ment employes at all levels re ceived $56.2 billion, up $4.4 bil lion over 1961.

The government reported Thursday factory workers wound up 1962 at the highest level of hourly and weekly earn ings in history. Small Gains Harold Goldstein, assistant labor statistics commissioner, told a news conference, how ever, tne ligures represented only small pay gains over tne calendar year and amounted to no .ncrease in real earnings when balanced against 1962 liv ing cost increases. Goldstein and a panel of labor statistics experts reported that average hourly factory worker earnings were $2.42 in Decem ber, a record but only a penny higher than the weekly earning figure in November and only four cents higher than the $2.38 average in December 1961, The average factory work week in creased slightly to 40.5 hours in December from 40.4 hours 'in November. Goldstein said the over-all job picture improved considerably in the first half of 1962 but then leveled off and failed to improve during the second half of the year.

PIZZA PARLORS National Problem Land Fraud Probe Hinted by Senator WASHINGTON (UPD Sen. Pat McNamara, D-Mich., said Friday there may be a full-scale Senate investigation into land frauds that he said have fleeced elderly people of millions of dollars. McNamara, chairman of the Special Committee on Aging, said after a three-day hearing into quackery as it affects the aged uncovered such widespread abuses, that the committee planned further investigations. He said one aspect that need ed exploring further was the sale of submarginal land, par ticularly in Western states, to retired people through mislead ing advertising. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., said violations involving Ari zona land had been particularly flagrant and the committee should call land promoters to testify. Federal Trade Commission Chairman Paul Rand Dixon told the committee Thursday that the FTC was investigating ad vertising that has led retired people to put their life savings into worthless lots. Dixon said the problem was of national concern. Much of the promotional lit erature is "highly deceptive" because it does not give full de tails and contains "actual mis representations," he said. "There are unscrupulous op erators attempting to capitalize on the desire of all to have a plot of land where they may spend their later years in con tentment," Dixon said.

Unions Want Ship Berthed At Portland : PORTLAND W) The Mult nomah County Central Labor Council has approved a resolu tion calling for berthing of the battleship Missouri in the Will amette River at Portland. The council said the mighty Mo would replace the old bat tleship Oregon, which was scrapped to help win World War II. ; The resolution asks the Ore gon congressional delegation to begin work immediately to have the ship brought here from the Bremerton Navy Yard. The peace treaty with Japan, ending World War II, was signed on the decks of the ship, which now is berthed at Bremerton in Washington State. . Former President Harry S. Truman recently criticized hav ing the ship "closeted" there. He proposed it be moved to San Francisco or Brooklyn.
