PAA jet crashes in east Germany
BERLIN — (UPI) — A Pan American World Airways 727 jet mail plane with three crewmen aboard crashed in a snowstorm in Communist East Germany today on a flight from Frankfurt to West Berlin. The Russians waited 12 hours to confirm the crash.
There was no word on the fate of the crew. U.S. officials were seeking permission from Soviet officials to send a rescue team to the plane, loaded with mail and freight, but indications were the Russians might try to make them
deal with the East German Communist regime.
The plane apparently exploded, but there was no confirmation.
Should the Russians demand the Americans act only through East Germany an international crisis could develop. The Americans do not recognize the East German regime and have refused to deal with them in the past.
The Soviet spokesman who confirmed the crash said all further inquiries would have to be made through the East German government.
VC gun downs copters; terrorists hit outposts
SAIGON — (UPI) — The U.S. 1st Infantry Division launched a new airborne assault today against the Viet Cong 9th Division near the Cambodian border but Communist gunners hiding in the jungle shot down at least three troop carrying helicopters.
Each of the helicopters carried a four-man crew and space for
seven troopers but there was no report on how many were killed.
The Communists themselves killed and wounded women and children in an orgy of terrorism with middle-of-the-night attacks on government outposts around Saigon, but lost heavily in antiguerrilla raids by U.S. and South Vietnamese troops.
Gemini12recoveryset
SPACE CENTER, Houston — (UPI)—Astronauts James Lovell and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin cleared the decks on the misbehaving Gemini 12 spacecraft today for a 1:23 p.m. splashdown and a grand finale to America's two-man Gemini series.
A four-ship recovery fleet was waiting in the Atlantic.
Lovell and Aldrin were hus-
banding their dwindling water and fuel and "drifting" in orbit because of failures with four of their eight attitude control rockets.
But the astronauts were chipper and confident.
Forecasters called for broken clouds, winds of about 15 knots and seas running no more than two feet. There was a slim possibility of thundershowers.
Man hunt ends in straw pile
BISHOPS STORTFORD, England —(UPI)— Scarfaced Harry Roberts, the accused triggerman in the murder of three unarmed London policemen, was captured today hiding under a pile of straw on a farm 30 miles north of London. He surrendered without a struggle.
Roberts, 30, a former army sniper who learned to live in the rough jungles of Malaysia, had evaded the law since the Aug. 12 murder of the three police detectives despite the biggest manhunt in British history.
The three unarmed detectives were shot and killed one by one in a cold blodded murder witnessed by a group of schoolchildren who thought they were seeing a crime movie in the making. Two men accused with Roberts are now on trial in London's Old Bailey court for the crime.
Roberts had been hiding in the woods and fields apparently for weeks. His capture came when a police dog chasing some gypsies found his camp—a heavily camoufaged tent equipped with a stove, cans of food and drink and an empty gun holster.

The primate also said the authorities organized a sports meeting to coincide with a church celebration of the 1000th anniversary of Polish Christianity.
enough circumstantial evidence to try Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard in 1954 on a charge of murdering his pregnant wife. And he said there had been less evidence presented in this trial than in the first trial.
He said the court believes circumstantial evidence in the new case is of a new character and stronger than the old.
Judge Talty said, "This is not the Sheppard case of 1954—this is the case of 1966, new, with a new start."
Talty is holding court directly across the second-floor corridor from the room in which Sheppard was found guilty in 1954.
