Soviet Feats Fail To Jolt Space Experts in Congress Washington - JPU - Three congressional experts have agreed that there is no need to reexamine the U.S. space program because of Russia's twin orbital shot. Instead, they feel that the U.S. program is moving ahead and will move even faster when more powerful booster rockets are developed. The legislators - Sens. War ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.), Pessard L. Holland (D-FIa), and Rep. Olln E. Teague ID Tex.) - did not appear dis mayed Sunday that the United States might be behind in the race. "We have some very solid, feasible technical plans in the same field as the Russians have," Magnuson said. "The fact that one is ahead of the other doesn't necessarily mean anything." Magnuson and Holland are members of the Senate Space committee. Magnusnn's sub committee approved a $3.7 billion space budget on Satur day. Teague, a member of the House Space committee, said, "our space program Is on solid ground." Holland saw the Soviet feat as a new challenge to the United States. He said it was a step leading up to an effort Regional Edition Page 2-A Medford1Tribune MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 19S2 if your plans CALLOTH, CALLWC to rendezvous two capsules in space, a technique the United States also plans to attempt. Teague said the Soviet Un ion had chalked up more spectacular space shots but that the United Stales had performed important techni cal feats. And he disagreed with Magnuson's view that the Russian accomplishment had no military significance. "Everything in space has a military significance." Teague said. "Whoever dominates space will dominate earth." The Russian accomplish ment may have some diplo matic ramifications. William C. Foster, director of the U.S. disarma m e n t agency, said there was some hope that it might make the Russians easier to negotiate wilh. "With more confidence, it would make them less inlent on secrecy, and more willing to negotiate," he said.

Denmark in 1!I7 lor S2S million Insults Hurled At Reds Across 'Wall of Shame' Berlin - WPli - Communist and West Berlin police fought a battle with tear gas grenades, smoke bombs and water cannon today on the first anniversary of the Communist-built "Wall of Shame" that divides the city. West Berliners screamed noisy de fiance and insults at the Reds. The trouble started when West Berliners jammed up against the wall to mark its construction with an official three minutes of silence and an unofficial half hour of noise, threats and insults hurl ed across the border at the Reds. Drivers massed their cars for blocks around the foreign ers' crossing place at Check point Charlie and the nearby Wilhelmstrasse to blow their horns, wave handkerchiefs at East Berliners and shout abuse at Red police. Factory sirens wailed dur ing the demonstration, drown ing out Communist loudspeak er trucks on the other side of the wall. The Red police hurled tear gas grenades at the West Ber lin demonstrators, West Ber lin police retaliated by throw ing smoke bombs across the wall at the Reds. Us Water Cannons The Communists also turn ed two Wetter cannons on the crowd of about 500 West Ber liners who had gathered at the wall at the sightseeing corner of Zimmer and Wilhelmstrasse near the East German govern ment headquarters. East Berlin itself was quiet and calm, without crowds or demonstrations, Western visi tors reported. The West Berliners shouted insults at the Communists across the wall, yelling such things as "Down with Ul- bricht" and "Down wilh the wall"-a reference to the fact that East German Communist boss Walter Ulbricht ordered the wall built. Eight youths carried a cross with Ihe Inscription "We ac cuse." The Communists first turn ed their water cannon on the cross in an effort to knock it down. But the youths stood firm. They held on to the cross although they were soaked and shaken by the streams of water. Then the communist police hurled tear gas grenades over the wall. The incident began about :i0 minutes alter thousands ol West Berliners gathered along the wall at various places to stage their noisy demonstra tions and unnerve Ihe jittery Communist guards. Exchange Tear Gai West Berlin police said that the Communist police threw about 80 tear gas grenades over the wall during Ihe Wil helmstrasse incident. Western police replied with about 50 grenades In the 20-minute bat tle. The youths carrying the cross then moved southward along the wall, followed by a i I crowd of about 500 pedestri ans and about 50 horn-blowing motorists. West Berlin po lice kept the procession mov 1 ing. ; The East Germans had moved up more reinforce ments In the wall during Ihe night and the sound of track ed vehicles was heard in the i West. i West Berlin police said the j Western Allies increased their patrols along the wall and the Americans seemed to be sending more official auto mobiles Into East Berlin. Soviet army sedans in the West were greeted with threatening waves of fists, an gry shouts and derisive whis tles from West Berliners. American military police along Ihe West Berlin border had to protect the Russian se dans from angry throngs as they returned to East Berlin. The Russians indicated they were afraid Ihe West Berlin ers would attack them.
