Army Convoys Into Berlin
BERLIN — (UPI) The United States today ordered three more military convoys into West Berlin through the Soviet zone to demonstrate Western rights of access to the divided city.
An Army spokesman said the first convoy of 40 soldiers, one jeep and four trucks arrived here without incident after a 110-mile trip from Helmstedt. Two others the same size were due later today.
Meserve Reads Poetry of Frost
Robert Frost is concerned with nature and humanity in nature Walter J. Meserve, associate professor of English, said yesterday.
"Robert Frost invites you to enjoy his poetry," he said. "He invites you to enjoy something that he enjoys. But he wants you to appreciate what is written and also to learn something from it."
PROF. MESERVE READ POETRY of Robert Frost for 45 minutes yesterday at the Poetry Hour with about 70 students listening. He explained that he was reading Frost because he enjoyed his poetry. He said that some of his favorite poems were the dramatic poetic monologues.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.
Some of Frost's poems suggest a philosophical tone with a surprise, Prof. Meserve said.
He read one of these, "The Road Not Taken."
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the different
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Prof. Meserve said Frost had a sense of humor as well as philosophy. He read a poem with a lighter touch, "Two Witches."
"FROST LIKED WITCHES and ghosts and they appear quite often in his poetry," he said.
... But the bones didn't try
The door; they halted helpless on the landing.
Waiting for things to happen in their favor.
The faintest restless rustling ran all through them.
I never could have done the thing
I did
If the wish hadn't been too strong in me
To see how they were mounted for this walk.
The students laughed. Prof. Mereserve continued, leaning on the podium.
I struck the hand off brittle on the floor.
And fell back from his on the floor myself.
The finger-pieces slid in all direction.
Hand me my button-box — it must be there.
(Where did I see one of those pieces lately?
At the end of the poem, the students smiled, shifted, stirred, and settled back.
"Here is a poem." Prof. Meserve said, "that perhaps could have been written to the college audience."
THE POEM WAS "THE RUNaway" a poem about a Morgan colt, alone and frightened by a snowfall.
I think the little fellow's afraid of the snow.
He isn't winter-broken. It isn't play With the little fellow at all. He's running away.
Where is his mother? He can't be out alone.
Whoever it is that leaves him out so late.
Ought to be told to come and take him in.
When other creatures have gone to stall and bin.
Prof. Meserve paused, then, looking up at his audience, said, "That's the way we sometimes feel about you."
THE AMERICAN convoy passe through Soviet checkpoints at each end of the Helmstedt-Berlin highway without trouble. The Communist guards made no move to control it.
His audience laughed.
The spokesman said three more convvoys carrying replacements for the 6,500-man garrison here will be sent tomorrow.
He said helicopter flights would continue to supply and relieve the three-man military police garrison in the tiny U.S.-controlled enclave of Steinstuecken, isolated one mile inside Communist East Germany.
The official Communist Party newspaper Neues Deutschland charged in an editorial that the four-power status of Berlin had been broken by the Western allies. It said the agreement has not existed "for a long time."
ment which guarantees Western rights in Berlin is dead.
The newspaper was commenting on the Allied order for West Berlin police to check the papers of Russian civilians entering West Berlin in unofficial vehicles. Neues Deutschland said the Russians had no objection to the new procedure.
EARLIER, THE Communists reiterated that the four-power agree-

Still Little Fallout In Lawrence Area
Fallout here was virtually negligible yesterday as rain washed out the atmosphere.
Wednesday's reading was 0.8 micro-curieres per cubic foot of air, Edward L. Shaw, associate professor of radiation biophysics said.
However, Prof Shaw said the low count was somewhat misleading.
"The heavy rain we've had has washed out the atmosphere," he said. "We have to sample the rain water before we can get an accurate measurement for the last few days."
Rain water samples were taken but the amount of fallout present cannot be determined for a few days.
