Patrol Harassment Expected In Berlin BERLIN (UPD-Intcrfcrence with Western Allied patrols in East Berlin may be the next Communist move to restrict Western rights here. The East Germans have opened a propaganda campaign against the tours of East Berlin 'made many times daily by American, British and French military sedans. The Western Allies consider the regular patrols a sign that all of Berlin is still under four power rule. The Russians claim this rule no longer exists. Significantly, the propaganda attacks have coincided with Russian harassment of Western Allied convoys on the highway to the West through East Ger many. Western officials think the propaganda campaign might be an end in itself, part of the ef fort to whip up anti-Western feeling in East Germany. But they do not rule out the possibility that the campaign might be designed to lead to serious harassment of the pa trols. The patrols have had difficul ty from time to time since the Communist wall was built on Mothers Club Schedules Tea Oregon State University Moth ers Club w ill stage the annual fall tea on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the home of Mrs. R.

A few were stoned. Others were hemmed in by Eastern police cars and their passage blocked or a short time. But in the last few weeks a concerted propaganda cam paign against the patrols has been going on and this has been regarded by many in the West as a sign the Communists are planning to stir up new trouble. Maj. Gen. Helmut Poppe. whom the East Germans call their East Berlin commandant a title not recognized by the Western Allies last week charged the Western Allied sol diers were pulling down East German flags in East Berlin and engaging in other "gang ster" actions. The East German news serv ice ADN accused Western mili tary vehicles of causing a long series of traffic accidents in East Berlin. And almost daily the Commu nist press publishes letters, said to be written by indignant East Berliners, denouncing the pa trols. Any attempt to halt the pa trols or seriously interfere with them would be sure to cause a grave international incident. The military value of the pa trols probably is negligible. They have nothing to do with the vital right of access to West Berlin. The highway on which convoys travel does not run through East Berlin but runs out of West Berlin directly into East Germany. But under four-power post war occupation agreements with the Russians the Western Allies have the right of free move ment in East Berlin, considered the Soviet sector of the city. 60 Flee Cuba In Small Boat To Escape Food And Water Shortage BEAUMONT, Tex. UPI Sixty Cubans who faced starva tion on the seas to escape food and water shortages on their Communist-held island were being considered today for po litical asylum in the United States. Immigration authorities were expected to announce today what disposition would be made of the refugees, including 16 children and 16 women. They docked here Wednesday night. They were rescued Tuesday from an overcrowded 2foot sailboat in the Yucatan Strait between Cuba and Mexico. The British freighter Essequibo plucked them from the turbu ent sea where they had drifted two days without food. Stormy seas had hampered their sailing in the fishing boat. They said friends, armed with Shaniko Crash Takes 2 Lives SHANIKO, Ore.

Hearty Folks Return To Rugged Life On 'Loneliest Island In The World' SOUTHAMPTON, England, (UPI) A party of 198 men, women and children turned their backs today on the com forts of modern England to re turn to the rugged, simple life of Tristan de Cunha Island in the South Atlantic. They were scheduled to start the long voyage to "the loneli est island in the world" aboard the chartered Danish ship Bornholm. The group was the main body of the island's total population, which was removed two years ago when a volcano eruption forced them to leave their tiny British-administered island. Two advance parties totaling 64 men have gone ahead to pre pare the island to be lived on again, now that the volcano has subsided. Eleven Tristaners chose to re main in England. Five others died here, mainly of pneumon ia and related ailments attribu ted to the harsh winter weather. Eight babies were born during the islanders' stay in England. Victor Rogers, 50. his wife and their three children are among the islanders who chose to face the cold weather and complexities of modern life in Britain. "We are happy to stay," Rogers said. "My younger chil dren will get a better educa tion. Life is much harder on Tristan." The rocky island w as inhabit ed in the early U800's by fisher men, shipwrecked seamen and other persons who arrived by chance at the isolated spot off the normal shipping lanes and lacking a harbor. Tristaners learned to eke out a living by fishing, raising sheep and growing potatoes. The modern developments of 160 years passed them by and until they arrived in (England they had never seen such things as television, automobiles, trains, neon lights, cement sidewalks, movies or nylon stockings. When experts declared Tris tan de Cunha once again safe for occupancy, t h e islanders voted overwhelmingly to return and the British government started making the necessary arrangements.
