U.S. Moves to Show Russia Berlin Route Must Stay Open
BERLIN — (UPI) — The U.S. Army began a week-long movement today that will send 3,000 soldiers in 500 vehicles along the Berlin-Helmsted highway through East Germany. The move is a demonstration of determination to keep the access routes open to West Berlin.
The first convoy of 112 soldiers in 28 jeeps and trucks cleared the Russian checkpoint at Marienborn this morning without trouble, an Army spokesman said.
But a second convoy that followed ran into trouble at Marienborn, on the West German end of the highway.
It was held up for three hours and 19 minutes.
The large-scale troop movement will exchange a 1,500-man battle
group based in West Germany for a Berlin-based battle group.
An Army spokesman said the Russians were notified the convoyswould travel in both directions on the 110-mile trip through the Soviet zone.
The Army started to move large convoys on the highway to stress Western rights after the Communists built their anti-refugee wall in Berlin in August, 1961.
The Russians have said such rights will end when a German peace treaty is signed.
Two incidents were reported near the Communist wall yesterday by West Berlin police. An explosion of unknown origin rocked the vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate on the East Berlin side of the wall last night.
Von Braun Warns Of Haste in Space
FRENCH LICK, Ind. — (UPI) — Rocket expert Dr. Wernher Von Braun last night warned that poor planning for the project to land a man on the moon would bring "staggering" losses of talent and money.
Von Braun, director of the Marshall Space Flight Center, told the 16th National Conference on the Administration of Research that the technical complexities of the space race were immense and the timetable tight.
"Now, more than ever, our planners must plan precisely," he said. "And our decision-makers must respond immediately. Otherwise, our losses in money and talent would be staggering."
MANNED SPACE flight costs money — lots of it. It also involves the lives of brave men. So those of us running the various phases of the moon exploration program have no choice but to use all the resourcefulness, inventiveness and ingenuity available to us," he said.
Von Braun said the ideal manager of a complex research and development project "needs a broad background and experience in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering.

The editor of the '63 Jayhawker says he plans to have the first section of the magazine-yearbook out before Thanksgiving vacation.
"This has not been done in the last eight years," Tom Tatlock, Wichita junior and Jayhawker editor, said vesterday.
Other plans call for more color pictures and more emphasis on students "in their element, such as party pictures." Tatlock said.
"We want a book the students will look at now and again 30 years from now. Coverage will be increased and the size of the binder will be $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch wider," he said. This year's binder will be white with red lettering.
"The most convenient time for students to buy their books is during fee payment." Tatlock added.
Staff positions are still open. Interested persons are asked to stop at the Jayhawker office in the Union or call extension 472.
New Gym to Eliminate Stress
Lack of adequate facilities, especially during the basketball season, in intramurals will be greatly relieved in the near future. A new gymnasium, to replace Robinson, is included in the University master expansion plan and will be located on the present intramural football fields.
