U.S. convoys to demonstrate access rights BERLIN (UPI)-A U.S. Army convoy rolled over the East German Autobahn today while troops of the American garri son in Berlin were called out on a dawn alert. Today's convoy was a small one with only eight men in four trucks. All were considered crewmen, not passengers. The Soviet checkpoint officers never have tried to make the crews of allied military ve hicles dismount for a head count and did not do so today, an Army spokesman said. The convoy was the first of several this week which will demonstrate the U.S. right to use the 110-mile highway be tween West Berlin and West Germany. Most of the convoys were ex pected to be small ones in which the dismounting question on which the Soviets held up British and American convoys recently will not arise, in formed sources said. Hence, any Soviet challenge on the access routes would have to be on different grounds. Allied officials are watching all convoy movements cioseiy to see if such a challenge will be made, these sources said. Today's convoy drove from Berlin to West Germany and passed the Soviet checkpoint at the West Berlin end of the Auto bahn in 20 minutes, an Army spokesman said. Other U.S. troops were called out of barracks in full combat kit at 5 a.m. today. Troops of one battalion manned posts they would de fend in case the Communists used armed force on the city. An Army spokesman said the three-hour alert was "designed to evaluate the units ability to react to various situations." 2 Euqene cars i i don CO ide hea Two Eueene cars were in volved in a headon collision in LaPine Saturday about 7:40 p.m., with two persons injured and taken to the St. Charles Memorial Hospital in Bend.

Those who refused to serve were lain MacLeod, co-cnair- man of the Conservative party and leader of the House of Commons, and Enoch Pow ell, former health minister. Both led the revolt against the selection of Home, but neither gave a reason for not joining his cabinet. "I am sorry they did not feel they could accept office," Home said Sunday.

C (UPI) Hurricane Ginny stalled 100 miles off the North Carolina coast today and bat tered a destroyer escort adrift with 10 persons aboard with howling winds and 40-to-50-foot seas. Winds of about 90 miles per hour were reported near the cen ter of the storm, seventh of th season and the first to threaten the eastern coast of the United States. Hurricane winds of 75 milei an hour extended out 60 miles in all directions from the cen ter of the storm, which boiled up Sunday night and sent gala winds and high tides crashing against North Carolina's storied Outer Banks. A late Washington Weather Bureau advisory located Ginny about 100 miles southeast ot Cape Hatleras. In this same vicinity the dis abled destroyer escort USS Fogg was adrift after its tow rope I snapped two days ago. Ships and planes searched tnrougn blinding rain for the stricken vessel. "With just 10 men aboard they're probably just doing their best to hang onto the rails in 40-to-50 - foot seas," a Coast Guard spokesman at Ports mouth, Va., said. Storm Moves Slowly The Weather Bureau said Gin ny would likely continue its slow progress during much of today. "Hurricane Ginny Is expected to move very slowly during th next 12 hours, probably towards the east-northeast about 5 miles per hour. Intensit" should re main about the same during tna next 12 to 24 hours," the Weath er Bureau said. Gale force winds raked the Outer Banks but the hurricane wise Inhabitants of the sand spits off the North Carolina coast refused to move out un til the hurricane took on a more definite pettem of move ment.

Two ships and two airplanes were in the area searching for the vessel. They were hampered by the heavy rain which cut visibility to zero. Tides from the Virginia Capes southward along the North Caro lina coast were expected to con tinue 2 to 3 feet above normal today and tonight with soma flooding at time of high tides. the Weather Bureau said. Rough, heavy pounding surf along the outer coast will con tinue to cause beach erosion. Worker at dam Cu-I-I jh TUm StulUlltl MADRAS Harry T.
