Robeson Flies to East Berlin Amid Reports of Break Berlin - IUPU - Ailing Negro singer Paul Robeson llew Sunday to East Berlin, short ly after a British newspaper reported he had broken with the Soviet Union. Robeson, his wife, Eslanda, and an American woman friend identified only as Mrs. Hurwitt made the trip from London by Polish airliner. They left the airport in a Russian-made automobile for an unknown destination. No trace of the 65-year-old singer has been reported since. Harold Davison, Robeson's agent, said in London he had gone to East Germany to convalesce at a spa. The agent Servicemen ON DESTROYER Machinist's Mate Third Class James L. Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Loring Martin, 1489 Colver rd., is serving aboard the destroyer USS McDermut. The destroyer recently anrhnred in San Francisco bay for a two-day relaxation period before resuming train ing operations off the Cali fornia coast. IN EXERCISE Two Rogue valley Navy men participated in Cascade- Columbia, amphibious as sault exercises, held at Camp Rilea this month. They were Seaman Roy V. Selby, Medford, aboard the USS Bayfield and Englneman Third class Donald D. Nelson, Central Point, aboard the USS Belle Gove, both of Am phibious Squadron 7. ADVANCE TRAINING Army Pvt. Paul L. Chris tensen, son of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Christensen, 30 Rose ave., has completed ad vanced training as a Hawk missile crewman at The Air Defense center. Fort Bliss, Tex. said he would be "away four to five weeks" before return ing for a recording engage ment and a television show. Smuggle Ailempt The London Sunday Tele graph said an attempt might be made to smuggle Robe son out of England. "The attempt may have been prompted by the fact that he may soon be well enough to speak to the press himself, the newspaper said, The Telegraph quoted Robe son as saying to one of its correspondents that "the Sun day Telegraph article is vie ious misrepresentation." A Telegraph correspondent who traveled to East Berlin on the same plane as the Robesons wrote that Mrs, Robeson boasted of the "cloak and dagger" way in which she and various Polish offic ials helped Robeson out of London. She warned him not to go near the singer but he was finally able to speak to him as "he sat like an effigy" just before landing, the corre spondent wrote. Love Russia Robeson said in a Moscow interview in June, 1949, that Russia was "the'eountry which I love more than any other." He has been living in Britain since his passport was re stored by the U.S. govern ment in 19S8. He had been in a London nursing home which special izes in nervous disorders for over a year. Harry Francis, a close friend and assistant secretary of the musicians union, said it was "sheer nonsense" to say Robeson had been "smuggled" out of the country. Mr. Robeson has been un well for some months and has accepted an invitation from the East German government to convalesce in one of the country's spas," Francis said. He said Mrs. Robeson want ed "secrecy about their de parture because "her hus band has been treated for exhaustion." PAUL ROBESON Smuggled Out of England Two Policemen Shot To Death in New Jersey Nightclub Lodi, N.J. - IUPU - Two po licemen were forced to dis robe and then were shot to death early today in a night club where they had gone to check on a disturbance. An ex-convict with a long police record was arrested as a suspect a few hours after the double murder at the An gel Lounge. Two others were sought by police. The victims were detective Sgt. Peter Voto, 40, and pro bationary patrolman Garry Tedcsco, 21, who joined the force only a week ago. Bergen County Prosecutor Guy Calissi said Voto discov ered one of the men was car rying a pistol when he went to the club to investigate a reported disturbance. The dis covery apparently touched off the shootings, Calissi said. Four women and the bar tender were the only persons In the club with the three men at the time, he said. Three of them were later pick ed up in nearby Hackcnsack after police stopped them for driving without headlights. Calissi said the men jumped Voto after he found the gun They ordered him to strip and as he began taking off his clothes one man opened fire. Voto fell dead with bul lets in the head and back. While the bartender Nicholas Kayal, 32 and the women took cover, Tedesco ran in from the police car where he had been waiting. The men grabbed the unarm ed officers, forced him to start disrobing then shot him to death. Police Chief Philip Wasen ti said 10 shots were fired in the club, but it was not de termined if Voto had used his weapon. Three pistols were found at the scene. Police responding to a call for help from Tedesco before he went into the club, arrived moments after the women fled in a car. The men may have escaped on foot, authori ties said. Calissi said the murdered officers had been cheeking on reports that a sound like "firecrackers" had been heard in the lounge. Police had re ceived noise complaints twice earlier in the evening. ill. mm to install MODERN WIRING CLEAN ELECTRIC HEAT Modern electric appliances and clean electric heat make life easier and more pleasant for thousands of families in this are'a.

Barry Coldwater said today he will decide by January if he will be a candidate for the 1964 Republican presidential nomi nation. The Arizona Republican said "I'm playing this thing by ear day by day. I would not want to say 'yes' or 'no' now, because I think it's much too early." Now considered along with New York Gov. Nelson Rocke feller as a leading candidate for the nomination, Goldwater said he would not run for the Senate if he decided to seek the presidential candidacy During a copyrighted inter view with "U.S. News & World Report," Goldwater said that any candidate for the GOP nomination would have to enter primary races to convince fellow Republi cans he could get votes. The first primary will be held in January in New Hampshire. Claims An Asset Goldwater said he had one asset over others who might want the nomination-the GOP contacts and connections he made while traveling the country as Republican sena torial campaign committee chairman. "It's an asset that almost any other candidate would have to develop," he said. "And you don't develop a mil lion miles and a thousand speeches just overnight." Asked why Rockefeller had been so critical of him in a recent statement concerning the "radical rights" and its influence in the Republican party, the Arizona conserva tive said he had no explana tion, but that he considered the New York governor still his friend, "even though I had no advance warning" of the statement. Hasn't Seen Rockefeller Goldwater said he had not seen Rockefeller since the critical statement had been issued "and I don't expect to." Regardlcsi of who the GOP candidate is in 1964, Gold water said his major problem would be in winning votes in large cities, especially in the East. Since 1948, an increas ing number of Southerners have voted lor Republicans which, he said, added to the Middle West from Pennsyl vania to the Rocky Mountains, could help elect a Republican president. Goldwater said a Republi can could win without carry ing California and New York, the two most populated states. Without them, however, he said a candidate would have to win majorities in Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, seven of the Southern states and the mountain states. Names Campaign Issues Issues in the 1964 campaign he said, would be foreign pol icy, "the general growth of communism and our seeming inability to stop it . . . the slowness of the economy, and fiscal irresponsibility." On other issues, Goldwater said he: -Wanted more information on the political advantages over the military disadvantag es of the nuclear test ban treaty. -Opposed a tax cut without a cut in expenditures; but urged a complete overhaul of the tax code. -Advocated a blockade of Cuba, the training of Cuban exiles and recognition of one Cuban government in exile as policies to overthrow Premier Fidel Castro. -Increased U.S. private in vestment abroad and a cur tailment of the foreign aid program with its application to projects only "where we can gain an advantage over the Russians."

National Park Service Observes 47th Anniversary Aug. 25 marked the 47th anniversary of the creation of the National Park service. Superintendent W. Ward Yeagcr reminded residents. On this date in 1916, Presi dent Woodrow Wilson signed the establishing Act of Cong ress. Contained in its text are specific directives to " . . . conserve the scenery, the natural and historic objects, and the wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future gen erations." Growing visitation to the National parks through the years has been accompanied by continual addition of new units to the National Park system. Outstanding scenic, scientific, archeological, his torical and recreational fea tures have thereby been pre served as examples of our country's rich heritage. Includes 192 Units The 192 units now admin istered by. or in cooperation with, the National Park serv ice comprise approximately one per cent of the land area of the United States. These range in size from Katmai National monument in Alaska the largest containing S. 697.590 acres, down to those of less than one acre, such as the House Where Lincoln Died, in Washington, D.C. Mission 66 is a ten-year pro gram initiated by the Na tional Park service in 1956. A primary objective of this pro gram is the provision of ade quate facilities and personnel throughout the system for proper enjoyment of the parks by ever-increasing num bers of visitors. Another ma jor objective of Mission 66 is to achieve adequate protec tion of the features which (he various parks have been cre ated to preserve. The objectives will be par tially achieved by 1966. the target date of the Mission 66 program and the 50th anni versary of the National Tark service, according to Super intendent Ycager. Steel.
