They said such un announced flights were even more dangerous to Western commercial and military aircraft using the airlanes. The East German Defense Min istry said the East German army maneuvers were held under mod ern battle conditions and showed the high morale and combat readi ness of the 100,000-man "peoples' army. It said that uie games were witnessed by Russian, Polish and Czech generals. ; The maneuvers apparently be gan about March 20 and sent East German tanks and troops close to the West Berlin border.

They in cluded communication centers, air fields, bridges and othor strategic positions. Tanks also took part in the exercise.

The department has solicited comment from a range of patriot ic groups, among others. Originally, the department thought the course materials would be ready for general use this school year. Minear said the postponement doesn't mean that the existing material is undesirable, but 'we're not in any hurry, and we want to do it well and adopt many of the suggestions." Minear said several history and social studies teachers will be hired by his department this sum mer to do the actual rewriting.

Early reports said 10 Moslems ere killed and 8 wounded, most of them seriously. There was no Immediate indi cation whether the terrorists were after certain Moslems in the hos pital or whether the raid was a demonstration to show the OAS will stop at nothing to wreck the cease-fire and keep Algeria from becoming independent. There was no official explana tion of the hospital attack. But appeared to be the latest move in the continuing OAS campaign to provoke the Moslems to a point where they would launch mass onslaughts against the European sections of Algiers and Uran. This would compel the French army to intervene and thus break Uie cease-fire agreement Since that pact was signed, the Moslem population has been restrained from any counter violence to Eu ropean attacks. In other terrorist attacKs, two Moslems were killed and three wounded. The attacks brought the 1962 casualty toll to 3,384 killed and 7,242 wounded. The attack on the Beaufrasier Moslem Hospital in the Algiers suburb of Bouzareah followed Monday night's mortar shelling of the Algiers Casbah in which seven Moslems were wounded.
