This is the section of the wall that was damaged Wednesday when Wolfgang Engels, -19, a mechanic, rammed a Communist armored car into the structure while escaping into West Berlin.

UPI Telephoto Reds Reinforce Berlin Wall . - BERLIN (UPI) - Communist border guards Saturday rein forced tank traps along the Berlin wall to prevent any more escapes Jjjie tne one last Wednesday when ati East Berlin mechanic crashed through in an armored car. ;Vest Berlin police said the Communists used a dredge to widen an anti-tank trench started Friday across the street where the mechanic fled. The mechanic, 19-ycar-old Wolf gang Engels, was recovering in a West Berlin hospital from bullet wounds received when he jumped! from the armored car to make the final dash to freedom. He was struck by a bullet in the back and grazed on the arm when the Communist guards fired a dozen bursts. West Berlin police said the anti tank, trench cutting across Elscn strasse on the American sector border was now 35 yards long, 9 yards wide and almost 3 yards deep. "This will hold any armored car or any tank there is," a West Berlin police officer said. He said a total of HO Cnmmu CONTINUOUS SHOWS TODAY FROM 12:45 X-.V til- s oi:, m m, .w.f if 9 0"W.,A WW !

They were placing new concrete plates on tank obstacles already built on the east side of the wall. Communist border guards open ed fire Saturday morning in the eastern sector of Berlin and cap tured an elderly man as he was trying to scramble over the barb ed wire to West 'Berlin. Police said he was arrested just as lie reached the first of four strands of barbed wire on the French sector border shortly aft cr midnight. Guards fired four carbine shots at him but he ap parently was not hit. Three more carbine shots were heard near the American sector, apparently Iired at ouier refugees.

Suicide Bill Gets Frown From House SALEM ILPU-The House re- fused Saturday to make suicide a crime in Oregon in order to help officers prevent suicides. The House objected to a feature carrying a possible penalty for at tempted or threatened suicide. Oregon now has no state law against suicide. It would have taken 31 votes to pass the bill. The vote was 28-29, with three absent. Rep. Berkeley Lent, D-Portland, said the intent of the bill was to give officers the authority to go into a home or hotel where a sui cide is threatened and stop it. He said officers now lack such authority, since suicide is not a crime, and some policemen who have tried to prevent suicides have been threatened with suits. Rep. Hubert Chappell, R - Port land, said "in addition to going in and turning off Uie gas, some body has to restrain a person w ho wants to commit suicide until he gets over his despondency." "This bill will allow authorities to reach people and help them," said Rep. James Redden, D-Med-ford. But Rep. Grace Peck. D-Port- land, and others objected to a sec tion of the bill making it possible to sentence a person to a fine or imprisonment for trying to kill himself. 'This is a horrible bill," Mrs. Peck said. "I can't see when any one becomes despondent enough to kill himself that we should pun ish him. Lent said the bill is similar to Portland's present city ordinance, and Chappel said some penalty is needed to make suicide a crime, although "I don't see why it has to be so large." , The House spent the 97th day of the 1963 Legislature in its first Saturday meeting. The Senate did not meet. The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill completely over hauling the law governing local budgeting. A key feature is that more in formation must be made public. A budget message would be re quired, salary information would have to be given in greater detail, and publicity would have to increase. The new local budget law also would: Broaden the definition as a municipal corporation to increase tlie number of units that must budget. ,' Provide for use of modern ac counting procedures. Tighten various budgeting re quirements. Make the lax commission the interpreting authority for the local budget law. And let a citizens group seek a declaratory judgment to stop a budget action before it is taken -, .

Gov. Mark Hatfield, charged the cutback would result in "the death of important Civil Defense programs." - Senate leaders hinted they might increase the CD budget. It was announced that Senate President Ben Musa plans to con-i tact federal CD officials in Wash-i ington, D C. on Monday while he1 is serving as governorT-in an at tempt to determine what coursei federal CD officials might take. The co-chairmen of the Ways and Means Committee met Thurs day with regional CD Director Charles Ralls, who first said the CD cutback would make Oregon ineligible for federal matching tunas, then indicated aid might not be cut after all. The House Monday approved a 0.000 CD budget for a three-per son agency attached to the gov. crnor's office. Hatfield had re quested $I!)5,0O0 to finance a 20 man agency. Political Predictions Tinge Governor's Meet The civil defense budget has not yet been assigned to a Senate committee. Tlie assignment may hinge on what action federal offi cials plan. Hatfield Friday issued a press release stating "rails has flatly stated in writing that the proposed throe-perso'n budget would mean the end of the (federal matching fund) help for Oregon." Hatfield said tlie federal cut back would take money from the CD programs in Portland, and Benton, Deschutes, Klamath. Lin coln, Multnomah, Polk,' Umatilla and Washington counties. Hatfield warned of tlie CD cut back, "If the' state closes up shop, the counties will too." I'm JIM m KIRK Our Daddy Says . . First Things First!

Republicans and two Democratic governors met Saturday to lay plans for a summer meeting of the national Governors Conference But they found it difficult to; keep their minds off the 1964 Re public'an presidential nomination. Arizona Gov. Paul Fannin opened the issue Friday night by predicting flatly that Sen. Barry Goldwater. a longtime friend of! hannins, will be the GOP presi dential nominee next year. Fannin, a 56-year-old Republi can now in his lliird term, told a newsman he had "doubts" a few months ago that Goldwater could win the nomination, but added categorically "I now feel he will be the candidate." Another Republican often men tioned for tlie nomination New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. was not present at the meetine ot uie National Governors Confer ence executive committee. But Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield, a pos- siDie vice presidential nominee and a Rockefeller supporter, was due to arrive Saturday. Conference Program Hatfield and other governors will begin Monday with the three- day Western Governors' Confer ence, featuring discussions on traffic safety, education and juve nile delinquency. Fannin, the host governor of the conference in nearby Scottsdalc, expressed a hope that the gover nors would not play politics. I have tried to discourage mv pariy from partisan politics at this conference." said Fannin W'c in the West do not have the same feeling regarding national oltice that seems to exist in the Midwest and Eastern states. tannin conceded that despite r.is close personal friendship with Goldwater, tlie senator -had not told him yet that he would be a candidate for the nomination. In fact, said Fannin, Goldwater still insists he's soing to be a candidate for re-election as United Slates senator next vear." Those Present Attending Saturday's executive session of the National Governor's Conference were Republican Govs. l annin. liobert Smylie of Idaho, and George D. Clyde of Utah. Democrats on the committee were: Govs. John M. Dalton of Missouri and Albert Rossellini of Washing-I inn. chairman of the National Gov ernors Conference. t t.i in u lit N III.M IK Cars Damaged Two cars received maior d;im. age and the drivers escaped un injured in a crash t the inter section of South Sixth Street and Miasta Wav at 2 30 D m Thnrs. dav.
