Stanford Student Released From East German Jail
BERLIN (UPI) - Robert F.
Mann, 20, Sepulveda, Calif.,
reached West Berlin Wednes
day night after 21 months in an
East German jail, a U.S.
spokesman announced.
Mann "appears to be -in good
physical and mental health,"
the spokesman said.
The Stanford University stu
dent was immediately spirited
away by Western officials and
"will be staying privately in
Berlin while completing ar
rangements for his return to
the United States," the spokes
man added.
Release Expected
Mann's release had been ex-
Eected for several days, since
e had completed his pnson
sentence in East Germany, but
neither the time nor the route
were announced in advance.
. Mann, a student at the Stan
ford overseas campus at Stutt
gart, West Germany, was ar
rested in East Berlin Jan. 22,
1962.
He was tried in a secret court
session July 14, 19B2, and sen
tenced to 21 months imprison
ment, including the time he
had already been under arrest.
Informed sources said Mann
was tried on charges of trying
to help East Berlin students
escape to the West with bor
rowed passports.
"Actually the charges pre
ferred against Mr. Mann have
never been made public, and
his trial was held in secret,"
the U.S. spokesman said.
To Be Questioned
Mann was expected to be
questioned about his experi
ences by U. S. officials before
he has a chance to meet news
men. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Mann, Sepulveda, were
not believed to be in Berlin.
Two other Americans are
known to be held in East Ger
man prisons.
Jean F. Loba, 37, Altadcna,
Calif., was arrested June 2,
1962, and later sentenced to
30 months for aiding refugees.
Gabricla Hammcrstcin, 38,
Jackson Heights, N.Y., was ar
rested in January, 1962, and
received a six-year sentence on
espionage charges.

NEW YORK (UPI)-At a bar
in a lightly pacKea tencmeni
ghetto, a young Negro bearded
and six-feet plus sat haunch-
ed over a bottle ot beer.
William W. Pace, 26, student
of philosophy and friend to drug
addicts, w as out on tne prowi,
looking for pals on a heroin
kick.
An addict walked in. "I talk
their lingo." Pace said. "He
said he's got to meet the dead
line (sell something at a pawn
shop) to stay on Die mainline
theroin) . . ."
Pace is one of 50 young peo
ple participating in a unique
experiment, a . federally sup
ported pilot project for Presi
dent Kennedy's proposed Do
mestic Peace Corps. The initial
project is in the nation's largest
(450,000) Negro community
Harlem six square slum-ridden
miles on Manhattan's up
per east side.
Works With Addicts
Pace is the only one working
with addicts. He grew his beard
("to overcome that middle-class
barrier") and works to help the
addicts indirectly by compiling
case histories about them, let
ting professional workers do the
job of effecting a cure.
Dr. Lonnie McDonald, Bill's
supervisor at Harlem Hospital,
explained: "Though he's not
medically trained, he's certain
ly able to bring a great deal of
useful information to us the
kind that comes directly from
observing the addicted persons
in their daily life and talking
to them about the things that
are of concern to them." Mc
Donald had to do much of this
himself before the Corps came
to Harlem. i
Pace and other members of j
the first, mostly Negro group
to work m Harlem began tneir
field work in March after eight
weeks of indoctrination in social
agencies, community and recre
ation centers, public schools,
block associations and neighbor
hood conservation programs.
Their pay $2 a day with $75
held in escrow until their year's
contract is up comes from a
non - profit group called Com
munity Teams, Inc., which to
date has received about $475,000
from federal and city sources.
Teaches Reading
Husky Ernest Brooks, a 21-ycar-old
new corpsman from
Austin, Tex., in his first day on
the job teaching children de
ficient in reading skills, said
that, like many of the domestic
corpsmen, he was at one time
interested in the overseas Peace
Corps.
"But I couldn't see going over
seas when conditions here in
the United States are so grave.
There are areas in our own
country which need so much
help.
Rose Marie Blcvins, 21, from
Birmingham, Ala., now in her
fifth week of training for a pub
lic school assignment, said she
arrived in New York on Sept.
15, the day Birmingham's Six

was bombed, killing four Ne
