Mr.. Hayes had no comment on
the substantially higher price

lin The Star yesterday.
It appears likely that the price
would now exceed $40 million,

prepared to sell last August.

Mr.. Hayes said.
He pointed out that a private

2 Congress Members
Held 4Hours IN Berlin

And Officer
Detained

BERLIN, Nov. % R.--Two
American Congressmen were held
yesterday In the Russian sector
Of Berlin for more than four
hours. The incident challenged
some Of the allied occupation
rights In this four -power city.
United States officials disclosed
that East German Communist
police detained Representative
Ostertag, Republican Of New
York: Mrs. Ostertag, Representa-
tive Boland, Democrat Of Massa-
chusetts, and their escort officer.
1t. James T. Mcqueen Of Mullins.
s. C.
The party was held at pistol
point at the Russian war me-
mortal center in Treptow. The
German police contended the
visitors had violated the laws Of
the Communist state by using
an automobile equipped with q
two-wAy radio.
United States authorities said
that the Russians repeated this
charge in the negotiations dur
ing which the Americans re-
lease was secured. American Of
ficials took this to mean that
the laws of the East German
republic now could be applied to
allied personnel entering East
Berlin. This would in effect
weaken, If not destroy, the four
power character of the divided.
occupied city.
General Demands Interview
Maj. Gen. Charles L. Dasher,
jr., United States commandant
in Berlin, demanded an interview
with the Soviet commandant.
Mai. Gen. P. A. Dibrova, to
lodge q verbal protest.
Gen. Dasl1er indicated he
would take up with Gen. Dibrova
the rights Of the allies, especially
In the use Of official vehicles, as
well as the "unjustified niistreat-
ment" Of the congressional party.
Mr.. ostertag told newsmen it
was a narrowing experience for
me. but I felt ii would straighten
itself out. It was difficult to
understand the delay In getting
the word down the line to any
responsible authority. My wife
was rather nervous, Of course" !"
MFR. Boland left by plane this
morning for Frankfurt and
Naples.
The party was touring in an
Army sedan of the type used by
the United States mission ac-
Icredited to the Soviet zone. The
mission has never been involved
in any incidents over the use Of
its two-way radio.

1t. Mcqueen gave this account
Iof the incident:
The congressional party crossed
into the Soviet sector of Berlin
lat II am. and drove to the Red
army cemetery, which attracts
foreign visitors almost daily.
I While the group strolled
Through the grounds, an East
German policeman looked into
the parked auto and noted the
radio telephone. When the party
returned, the policeman de-
sImanded the car keys.

BY JAMES e. ROPER

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Nov. 2S.
Chairman Leonard w. Hall Of
the Republican National Com
niittee predicted after q confer
e1ce with President Eisenhower
today that Mr.. Eisenhower will
run for reelection ''if he feels
that he is able"
Mr.. Hall emphasized at a news
conference that this view was
his personal opinion. But he
made clear that his feelings had
been reinforced by what hap-
pened at his 45-minute confer
ence with MIR. Eisenhower today.
He looks a million per cent, !"
Mr.. Hall told reporters. I've
never seen him look better"
Asked II MIR. Eisenhower would
run for reelection next year,
Mr.. Hall said:
IT think he win II he feels
that he is able"
Han Feels Encouraged.
Asked IL Mr.. Eisenhower in
dicated whether he had made
up his mind, MIR. Hall said:
II can only express my opin-
lon. ] didn't get anything directly
or indirectly.
II can only express my per-
sonal opinion I felt en-
couraged by the meeting. ] feel
encouraged because of his atti-
fude and his interest in the
issues. There Is a real and con-
tinuing interest and it goes be-
yond today.
$50 far as I'm concerned. there
Is no other candidate"
Mr.. Hall, under questioning.
said that If Mr.. Eisenhower runs
again for President. he would
expect Vice President Nixon
again to be In second place on
the Republican ticket.
President Not Asked
Mr.. Hall said that he did not
ask Mr.. Eisenhower whether he
would run again. Mr.. Hall EN-
phasized that Mr.. Eisenhower
would undergo extensive new
physical examinations at the end
Of January. and these are ex-i
pected to have a bearing onf
whether the President seeks re-
election.
He disagreed with the state
n1ent by Senate Republican
Leader Knowland Of California
that the President should an
nounce his intentions sooner
than January so that II Mr..
Eisenhower is unable to run,
other candidates could get into
the field. Mr.. Hall said the
timing of the announcement Of
Mr.. Eisenhower's intentions is
not important.
MIR. Halls conference with Mr..
Eisenhower today was their first
since September 10 when Re-
publican State chairmen called
on the President in Denver be-
fore his heart attack.
VARIED Topics Discussed
Mr.. Hall said he and the Pres
ident discussed foreign affairs,
the farm issue, Republican COM
niittee work, the coming cam
paign and Republican Party n
fances.

discussed his role in next years
elections. Mr.. Hall said. We
talked about the campaign"
Mr.. Hall said MIR. Eisenhower
showed that "he never relin-
Qliisned command Of the party"

President expressed anxiety and
concern.
He didn't show any particular
