'Allies to Keep Berlin Air Lanes'
BERLIN — (UPI) — U.S. Air Force Secretary Eugene M. Zuckert said today the Western Allies are determined to keep the air corridors to Berlin open for military and civilian traffic and without Communist controls.
"I am completely confident we can do it," Zuckert said after a conference with former Gen. Lucius D. Clay, hero of the 1948 airlift.
ZUCKERT MADE a two-day inspection of the Berlin facilities which would control any Allied airlift across the Iron Curtain to West Berlin. He hinted at the possibility of a new airlift if the Reds clamp down again.
"You can rest assured that in the case of need the U.S. Air Force will stand behind you and will contribute its share to maintaining the freedom of West Berlin," he said.
THERE WERE THESE OTHER major Berlin developments today;
The official Communist party newspaper, Neues Deutschland, said
Clay had told West German leaders they should be prepared to make concessions over Berlin. It said "thinking leaders" in the United States had begun removing obstacles to a separate Soviet-East German peace treaty.
—NEUES Deutschland demanded anew that two West German pilots who flew to West Berlin allegedly by mistake be handed over to the East German authorities for violating Communist territory. It also dismissed the West German note to Russia on the incident as a "grotesque mixture of stupidity and scarcely surpassed audacity."
EAST GERMAN communist border guards were disclosed to have orders to shoot to prevent additional escapes even if the bullets land or ricochet into West Berlin where Allied troops patrol the frontier.

New Friction for UAR
BEIRUT, Lebanon — (UPI) — Dissident Arab armed forces staged a revolt in Syria today and United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered loyal troops to put it down. Several hours later Damascus radio indicated the revolt was over.
The rebels seized control of Damascus radio early this morning. Within hours they claimed they had gained complete control of all Syria and the support of regional army commanders in a bloodless coup
Nasser personally went on Cairo radio to denounce the revolt in an emotion packed voice. He said loyal Syrian forces already were moving on Damascus.
Shortly after noon, a Damascus radio announcement head in Amman, Jordan, said the situation had returned to "normal". It said Field Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer, UAR vice president and armed forces commander-in-chief, had promised
to implement Syrian army demands. After the bulletin, the radio dropped the new title of "Radio Damascus" and identified itself as 'The United Arab Republic broadcast service from Damascus.'
The border between Syria and adjacent Lebanon was sealed early today and telephone and cable communications between the two countries were cut. Thus the only word from Damascus came from the broadcast.
man's land border region, the refugee flight continued. At least five persons, including a 76-year-old woman, won their under-the-gun bids for freedom. The woman was injured when she landed in a West Berlin firemen's net.
All morning the Damascus radio had broadcast rebel communiques and claimed the insurrectionists had taken "full control" of Syria without "any single casualty".
Unidentified radio reports monitored in Beirut said street demonstrations against Nasser broke out in Damascus, with school children chanting "Syria is for the Syrians. Long may it live an independent republic."
Ban Proposed In Racial Housing
WASHINGTON — (UPI) - The Kennedy Administration was reported considering today a ban on racial discrimination in housing built with federal assistance.
But Harris Wofford Jr., special assistant to President Kennedy, denied a published report that an executive order was being drafted to enforce such a ban.
Wofford said that the White House was awaiting the recommendations from the Civil Rights Commission based on a two-year study of housing policies. The report is expected within 10 days.
Officials said it seemed certain that the commission would renew its 1959 recommendation for an Executive order to bar discrimination in federally assisted housing.
The possibility of executive action to prevent discrimination against Negroes in FHA loans and other housing policies has been under discussion for a long time by top officials of the administration.
However, one official said there was no sign that any action would be taken immediately to carry out President Kennedy's campaign pledge to abolish housing policies that tended to perpetuate segregation.
The National Committee on Discrimination Against Housing today asked Kennedy to approve an executive order to end what it called the government's role as an "architect and enforcer" of segregated housing.
