State Central Group
To Decide Delegates
Portland (U.R) Howard Mor
gan, Oregon Democrat commit
tee chairman, said today that
he had asked the national legal
counsel whether Oregon should
have 16 or 32 delegates to the
national convention next year
and was told that the state cen
tral committee would have to
decide.
Morgan said he personally
favored 16 delegates with a full
vote apiece, rather than 32 dele
gates with a half-vote each.
The national committee makes
the half-vote delegation possible
so that more party workers may
attend the convention.
Morgan said the central com
mittee would meet in the first
two weeks of February to make
the decision.

East Berlin Police
Arrest American 61 -
Berlin-U.R) The U; S. Army
announced today that an Amer
ican soldier was arrested by
Communist police yesterday aft
er a minor traffic accident in
East Berlin. He still is missing.
The army identified the soldier
as M. Sgt. Mike Kliman of
Brooklyn.
Authorities asked the Russians
today to return Kliman. He was
last seen at about 10:30 p.m.
yesterday when East Berlin
"people's police" took him to
East Berlin Police Headquarters.
It was the second time since
the East -Germans began insist
ing on "sovereignty" in East
Berlin that an American soldier
has been arrested. Earlier this
month, two GIs were arrested
and accused of beating a cabaret
actor in the Soviet zone of the
city. They were returned to
Army control by the Russians
despite the East German claims
that they should have been tried
in East German courts.
The arrest of Kliman raised
the question of whether the East
Germans will exercise their "sov
ereignty," which the West does
not recognize, by trying the
soldier. They threatened last
week to try Americans after a
U. S. Army court martial ac
quitted the two men accused of
manhandling the actor.
