S. Army con voy to roll into West Berlin alter Holding it at gunpoint tor nearly 48 hours. The army immediately re affirmed its Berlin access rights by sending another com'oy from West Germany to West Berlin. A convoy of 30 vehicles carry ing about 150 men left the Helm- sted checkpoint near the West German border at 5:02 p. m,, reportedly with orders to re inforce the halted convoy if it had not been allowed to move. Protests Filed The situation appeared so serious Friday that the United States fired off three separate protesls to the Soviet Union and the British and French com manding generals in Germany also lodged vigorous protests with their Russian counterpart. Moscow appeared to be the only capital not particularly worried over what had threat ened to be a major cold war clash. The Soviet press blamed the U. S. Army for the delay, dismissed it as "much ado about nothing" and indicated it considered the matter minor, closed and finished. The American troops in their 18 trucks and jeeps crossed the West Berlin border at the Dreilinden checkpoint at 12:50 p.m., four minutes after they began to roll out of the Soviet control point at Babelsberg, one mile away in East Germany. Reinforcements Move Twenty-four minutes later, a convoy of 143 men in 25 vehicles sent in to reinforce the halted convoy continued its move to West Germany, reaching Mar ienborn safely at 5:35 p.m. By then the stopped convoy already had reached West Berlin with out further trouble. The troubles began over a Soviet demand that the 61 troops in the convoy dismount for a headcount. In the past the army has done this with groups of more than 75 soldiers to expe dite moving past the Soviet checkpoints but contends it does not have to do this. The East German Communist news agency ADN reported jub ilantly the Americans finally gave in but an army spokesman said flatly: "The U.S. soldiers did not dismount from their ve hicles for a head count by the Soviets." Russia Asks Trade Delegation Visas MOSCOW (UPI)-The Soviet government Saturday set in mo tion the machinery for purchas ing American wheat by applying for visas for a four-man trade delegation to visit the United States. The group, headed by Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade Sengoi Borisov, hopes to depart for Washington Monday, an American embassy spokesman said. The spokesman said the ap proval of the visa applications would be made in Washington prior to issuance here as is customary in all visa issuances. tlEWSBRIEFS ITIMI ROM T jj ' AXOUNB THI OlOII BERBER REBKI.I.ION SAID 'PRACTJCAf.f.Y OVER' ALGIERS U'PI) President Ahmed Brn Bella said tonight the Berber rebellion was "practically over" hour after hl troopj occupied the town nf Michelet. last major Insurgent center in the Karylia region ffl or Algiers.

(UPI). Accused Red Spies Traded for Yanks NEW VflRff rtrpn A Unman Catholic priest imprisoned for a years ny ine soviet union and a young graduate student arrested in Russia two years ago returned to their native American soil Saturday in ex change for two accused Soviet spies. The Rev. Walter Ciszek, 58, was addressed as "Father" Sat urday for the first time in more than two decades as he grectea newsmen and well-wishers at Idlewild International airport. The sparkle in his eyes and his sprightly step contrasted sharply with the physical ap nf Marvin W. Makinen. the 24-year-flld student who ar rived with Father ciszck on a flight from London. Health Appears Frail Makinen appeared In he In frail health. His complexion was sallow and he walked slowly Vietnamese Kill 10 Viet Cong Guerrillas SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPI) An elite force of Vi etnamese paratroopers, trans ported and supported by Amer ican helirnnters Saturday fer reted out and killed 10 Viet Cong Communist guerrillas ana cap tured 23 others in sunrise raids about 20 miles northwest of Saigon. with a slight stoop. When asked how he- felt, he said simply, "I'm all right." The two men whom the So viets accused of spying were ushered swiftly past a crowd of newsmen into a terminal wait ing room for a joyous reunion with their families and friends. Some of them had feared they would never see the Americans again. Father Ciszek, in fact, was returning from the "dead." The Shenandoah, Pa., priest was de clared legally dead by Schuyl kill county authorities several years ago. The two former prisoners were swapped for Ivan Egorov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, and his wife, Alek sandra, who were arrested in their New York apartment last July and charged with espion age. The Egorovs arrived in Mos cow aboard a Soviet plane by way of Copenhagen Saturday. Elaboration Declined Both Father Ciszek and Ma kinen were reluctant to discuss their imprisonment. Makinen, arrested in 1961 while touring Kussia, made one oblique ret erenee to "my confession" but declined to elaborate. Father Ciszek first spoke in Russian and his remarks were translated by an old friend, the Rev. Edward McCawley, who explained: "He has spoken no English in the last 29 years." There was no doubt, however, that the stocky, grey-haired priest understood the questions put to him in English and on one occasion, when asked about his plans, he replied in his na tive tongue. "I'll rest a while," he said. "I'm very tired." The Jesuit priest who served as a missionary in Poland be fore being transferred to the Soviet Union, expressed little emotion beyond an occasional smile.

A government broadcast from Bayamo, monitored here, said that death reports are building as communications are re-established with the hurricane torn eastern half of the island. The broadcast said 319 bodies were found in an area near the Sierra Maestra mountains Friday and 206 more were found Saturday, bringing the to tal number of deaths to at least 525. "Hundreds of persons are atop the roofs of houses sur rounded by floodwaters in the area," the broadcast said. It said 10 helicopters were on the way to the area to give emer gency aid. Region Devastated "The region looks completely devastated and it is presumed that the destruction there is ter rible," the broadcast said. The radio report was sent to Capt. Jorge Risquet, Castro's military aide in Oriente. It also said 50,000 bags of sugar were destroyed in three mills in Ori ente Province. ! Hurrieane Flora, which killed 4,000 in an erratic trip across! the Caribbean, pounded Cuba j for four days without letup. Most j of Flora's victims, however, were on the island of Haiti. I Previous Cuban broadcasts carefully shunned using big figures in death toll reports and had put the number of missing and drowned at so. The Cuban Red Cross, acting on orders from Premier Castro, refused emergency help offered by the American Red Cross, say ing it was a hypocritical ges ture "by a country that is try ing to destroy us with econom ic blockades and other meas ures," President Notes Columbus Day WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi-dent Kennedy, riding out the storms of his first term, had praise Saturday for the stubborn perseverance of Christopher Co lumbus, who discovered Ameri ca after a difficult first voyage. "I think that's a good lesson for all of us today," Kennedy told a Columbus day audience of 108 persons, mostly Italian Americans, in the White House rose garden. "The first voyages, as all of us know, are the more difficult, whether it is going into space, going to the bottom of the ocean, building a better country or a more prosperous country," he said. The President, relaxed and joking after the end of a two day Russian blockade of U. S. military traffic to West Berlin, also praised Spain's role in Co lumbus voyage. Without Queen Isabella's as sent, he noted, the famed navi gator from Genoa might never have set sail in 1492. "All of us who followed the great navigator to the United States have prospered and bene fited, saw Kennedy, whose forebears are Irish. Mme.

Three other late survivors were Lodovico Paludetti, 41, his wife, Albina, and their 4-month- old son, Orazio, They were dug out of a" hall deWoyed house at rHirain The rescues gave Italian and American teams digging in the devastated valley towns fresh hope that more lives were yet to Be savea.
