29 Refugees Tunnel Under Berlin Wall; Tear Gas Used Berlin - (UPD - Twenty-nine refugees tunnelled under the Berlin wall early Saturday to West Berlin in the largest mass escape since the wall was built, a West Berlin city government spokes man an nounced today. The 29 men, women and children banded together and built their tunnel so secretly that the Communists did not discover it even after the suc cessful escape. News of the flight was dis closed at a news conference today after rain flooded the tunnel so it could no longer be used. , It was the largest number of people to flee in one group since the wall went up Aug. 13, 1961. The previous high was TA through another tunnel on Jan. 24. In another develop m e n t, West Berlin police reported that Communist police threw 23 tear gas grenades into the West over a barbed wire bar rier on the French sector border. West Berlin police said they retaliated with 29 of their own. The Communists began the battle when a West Berlin loud - speaker truck drove along the border of the Rei nickendorf District broadcast ing anti-Communist news. Earlier in the day, Western tanks and troops occupied straetgic points in West Ber lin in an exercise designed to test their ability to defend this isolated city. In another escape, three boys burrowed through a fe rn en ted-up cellar door of a border house Monday night. One asked to be sent back home today and he was turned over to Communist police on the border. The Allied opera t i o n a 1 readiness test involved Ameri can, British and French tanks, armored person n e 1 carriers and other military vehicles. It was called less than an hour after a Soviet statement Mon day night said Berlin's four- power status no longer exist ed. The timing of the Allied war games and release of the So viet statement appeared co Incidental. Such military ex ercises usually are planned in advance. The Allies in Berlin have held numerous similar troop exercises in the past. An Allied spokesman said the troops were ordered to keep away from the East Ber lin border. Most of the 12,000-man Al lied garrison was reported in volved in the test. The troops-returned to their barracks early today after completing their assigned tasks.

Boston - UPL - The voters bring in the verdict today on whether 30-year-old Edward M. Kennedy is too young and inexperienced to sit irt the United States Senate. He is a slight favorite to' win the Democratic senatorial nomi nation over Edward J. McCor mack, 39, nephew of House Speaker John McCormack. Despite a prediction of showers early in the day, a record primary vote of more than 1 million is expected. The Teddy-Eddie contest, fea turing two television debates, is stirring the voters out of their living rooms and off their front porches. It has al most submerged the fact that the Republicans, too, are choosing a senatorial candi date today. Meet in November George Cabot Lodge, 35, and almost a dead ringer for his father, Henry Cabot -Lodge, is running against Laurence Curtis, a 69-year-old congress man. Lodge is the favorite, partly because he has a movie star appeal to the female voters. . The winners of these two contests will meet in the No vember congressional election to determine who serves the Type III Vaccine Stop Recommended Portland -WPU- The State Board of Health has recom mended a temporary suspen sion of the use of Type III oral polio vaccine until a special report from the surgeon gen eral's office is received. The recommendation fol lowed a report of the surgeon general which said an ad visory committee felt there was a certain but very low level risk associated with use of Type III oral vaccine. Dr. Richard Wilcox, state health officer, said the sur geon general's office Informed the board that an advisory committee is continuing to study the matter and will provide a special report with in the "next few days." Dr. Wilcox emphasized that no questions have been raised concerning the safety of Types I and II. two years until 1964. The Sen ate vacancy oceurred when John F. Kennedy resigned af ter being elected president. Neither Teddy nor Eddie is claiming a landslide, but some experts are predicting a mas sive wave of independent vot ers will put the President's youngest brother across easily. The Kennedy name is an au thentic vote catcher in Massa chusetts and Teddy has a group of profesionals around him who know how to squeeze the last possible vote out of the situation. Works Way Up McCormack is state attor ney general and has worked his way with considerable skill up the Massachusetts po litical ladder. He has a pretty fair name and a good machine going for him, too, Speaker McCormack holds thousands of political IOUs around this state, and while he has been careful not to cash in on them in behalf of his nephew his friends are likely to remem ber. Teddy has pent lots more money than McCormack. He has reported contributions of cioini hptwpen earlv ADril and Sept. 1. Eddie's reports snow receipts oi ?to,tftr. xnu Kennedy election team oper ates hprp with nower and Dre cision and apparently there always is plenty of money to oil the macninery.
