FIRE GENIE This unusual picture of the
Ashland fire, which swept over 2,000 acres
of brush and timberland in 1959 Jutt three
years ago, shows the huge column of smoke
rising above Wagner butte. The top of the
smoke column (with the use of a little imag
ination) resembles the head of a giant genie.
The picture was taken by Dutchman Peak
Lookout H, M. von Stein about 7:30 p.m.

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

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.

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.
