Incidents Continue Along Berlin Wall
University Daily Kansan
BERLIN — (UPI) — Twenty steel-heldmed Communist policemen and nine police dogs today guarded a three-by-five foot hole in the Berlin wall to keep anyone from getting through. The East German policemen (Vopos) brandished machine pistols.
West Berlin police said the hole opened up when a frozen section of the brick-and-barbed wire wall along Bernauer Street thawed. The police showed up to keep anyone from escaping west, they said.
IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT, an American spokesman said a U.S. military police officer chased a Russian automobile that tried to race past "checkpoint Charlie" on Friedrichstrasse last Tuesday. He caught it after six blocks, checked the Russians' credentials and let them pass, the spokesman said.
Americans began screening Russian cars recently to keep the Soviet commandant and political adviser in East Berlin out of the U.S. sector. The Russian officials were barred soon after Communist border guards stopped the U.S. military commander in West Berlin from visiting Russian headquarters.

The developments came as East t German Communist leader Walter Ulbricht threatened to complete the split of Berlin and bar the Western Allies from the Soviet sector unless they get East German visas.
ULBRICHT, IN AN interview with the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), denounced U.S. Army convoys to and from Berlin as provocations that blocked the 110-mile Berlin-Helmstede autobahn through East German territory.
He demanded that the Western Allies reach agreements with East Germany to use air, land and water routes to Berlin and submit to Communist controls.
Uibright warned he would accept only one result of four-power talks on Berlin — the eradication of Western rights in the city.
He said if the West refused such a solution in East-West negotiations, the Soviet Union would sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany that would end Western rights.
THE TEXT OF ULBRICHT'S interview with CBS interviewer Daniel Schorr was published by the East German news service ADN today.
Ulbricht said if he traveled to the United States he would need a visa and it was not right that Americans could enter East Berlin without a visa.
He said flatly that a visa system would be introduced in East Germany but did not say when.
"We will see when we will do it," he said.
Asked if the system would be introduced before a peace treaty is signed, he answered: "We haven't reached any final decision on that."
THE INTRODUCTION OF VISAS would result in the final split of Berlin and end the limited right of movement the Western Allies still have in East Berlin since the East Germans built the wall that divides the city.
It would be certain to prompt the most energetic Western allied protests.
In addition to a visa system, Ulbricht threatened that "further measures" would be taken on the West Berlin border to safeguard East Germany if the United States and West Germany continued their cold war against the Communist countries.
Ulbricht did not elaborate on this point.
With confirmed outbreaks of influenza in several areas of the U.S. during the latter part of December, Watkins Memorial Hospital officials have issued a renewed appeal for KU students and staff to obtain their immunization shot.
Students Urged To Get Flu Shots
Fear that students returning from Christmas vacation after exposure to the virus would create at least a mild epidemic of flu here has so far not been borne out, the administrator said.
Only a few students have reported to Watkins hospital sufficiently ill for admission and of these only two are suspected of suffering from flu. Positive determination of these cases will require further tests, however.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, hospital administrator, estimates there are between 5,000 and 6,000 students here who have not received an influenza vaccination.
Annually, the end of the holiday period is marked by a sharp up turn in the number of patients at Watkins.
In the meantime, Dr. Canuteson urged all students still not protected by a vaccination to obtain one as soon as possible. Prevention is still the best protection against an outbreak of flu here, Dr. Canuteson said.
