Flight Meant
To Reussert
Air Rights

BERLIN, Oct. 20 (AP) The
United States Air Force sent a
plane circling over East Berlin
at low level today, reassertir1g
American rights to fly there
despite a Soviet protest.
The two big powers had
ended a 16-hour warlike face
down only a short time before
by withdrawing tanks from
Berlin's perilous border front.
Through the night the tanks
guns had pointed at one an
other at pointblank range of
200 yards.
The 10 big Soviet tanks were
the first to withdraw from the
Friedrichstrasse checkpoint.
About rs minutes after the
Soviet behemoths withdrew to
a point 1900 yards away anG
out of sight, the four United
States Pattons that had been
facing them pulled back to q
point 800 yards from the
frontier, and the atmosphere
at the checkpoint suddenly be-
came relaxed.
Plane Circles Red Area
Less than an hour and
half after Berliners drew a long
sigh of relief, a United States
CAT transport plane circled
repeatedly at 600 feet over the
Soviet tank concentration in
East Berlin. 1t had the look O..

The CAT overnight took place
in warm. sunny midafternoon

10 times over the area where
the Soviet tanks were nesting.

PHNOM PENN. Cambodia,
Oct. % (AP) Prince Norodom
Sihanouk, who has severed dip
lomatic relations with Thai
land. threatened today to make
a complete break with the non

The neutralist chief Of gov
ernment in q radio address
bitterly complained that the

military aid granted Cambodia
to be used against neighboring
Thailand.
American military aid. in

said.

The prince declared he al
ready had warned "the free
world, and the United States in
particular. that Cambodia will
never give in before the men
aces of its neighbors and all
those who attack our neutrality
and our independence"
The prince severed relations
with Thailand Monday after
Thai Premier Sarit Thanarat

included a controversial $780,
900 item for the Inner Loop.
Their action came late last
week in secret meetings on the
budget and has not yet been
officially announced.
The move was made, at high
way department urging, despite
a heavy attack by various Of
ficial and civic groups aimed
at hating any additional free
way construction.
At its last regular meeting
the National Capital Planning
Commission decided to defer
until November 9 a decision on
whether it should approve con-
tinuation of the $500 million
Inner Loop. Its members agreed
that the freeway project might
need a second look.
Sets Off Reaction
This touched off a chain re-
action among groups who have
opposed freeway construction
in the DiStrict-notably the
Fine Arts Commission, which
has traditionally been against
the Inner Loop plan-and. has
provided a rallying point for
those who see the freeways as
a danger to the city.

The immediate issue is
whether highway officials

Washington's weather this

tiSt said. DR.. Abbot, 80, was
secretary Of the Smithsonian

a busy retirement refining a
theory Of predicting weather
years in the future.
Concluding that there is a
sun-based weather cycle Of 273
months, DR.. Abbot last year
predicted monthly precipitation

cipitation n inches per month
turned out to be: November
so VS.. a norm Of 2.73; Decem-

Then the SHOWS came and
precipitation in February was
5.71 inches VS.. a norm of 2.44:

Yesterday DR.. Abbot figured
his batting average at about

The four-power Ambassador

agreed at the State Depart

step the West should take in
the tense dispute over free
Western access to East Berlin.
One possibility is that Soviet
personnel entering West Berlin

without restriction across the
East Berlin border.

Many Violate
Permit Rules
For Shelters
Secrecy Is Factor;
Defense Officials
Warn of Danger
By CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

Only nine building permits
for fallout shelters have been
issued in the District. although
civil defense officials estimate
200 shelters have been built
here in the last two years.
In Montgomery County, only
66 sheleter permits have been
issued but approximately 800
structures have been built, Of
flcials say.
Such mounting evidence of
widespread evasion of building
permit requirements in con-
struction of fallout shelters is
causing increasing concern to
Washington area civil defense
directors.
George Rodericks, District
civil defense director. said his
office is very much upset"
about the indications that shell
ters are being built here with
out building permits.
Mr.. Rodericks and other area
civil defense directors warn
that building a shelter without
getting a permit and approval
of plans by Government Off
cials not only is a violation Of
the law but can be extremely
dangerous"
Evening star., 1961-10-29
Evasion Warning

These civil defense officials
also point out that evasion Of
the permit requirement opens
the door for "fly-by-night"
contractors.
Mr.. Rodericks said that ''our
best guess is that about 200
shelters have been built in the
District in the past two years"
Only nine permits for build
ing Of fallout shelters have been
issued by the District Depart
ment Of Licenses and Inspec-
tions so far this year. despite
the fact that builders report
that interest in shelters has hit
q peak In the last few months.
The District has not granted
any permits for shelters as such
before this year. but District
officials say some permits were
issued previously for improve
ments to Easements which
might have included shelter
construction.
Henry T. Magarity, Fairfax
County civilian defense CO.
ordinator, said that "a lot of
fallout shelters are being built
in the county without building
permits.
Reasons for Failure
Some building inspectors and
civil defense officials in other
Jurisdictions report similar sit
uationS.
The following reasons are
cited by officials for failure to
obtain permits even when they
are required by law:

aside from defense, what can we do with them?"
At that time - just tUe years ago - the only
non-military benefit we could think of was that
missiles could be used to carry high-priority
payloads at very high speeds.
We know better now. Missile research has
brought us into the Space Age, the most
revolutionary period man has ever seen.
But in order to get the full benefits of our
government research in missiles and space, our
private industries must make use of it, and do
much better job. Only because we had highly
advanced technology and profitable economy
were we able to begin the Space Age in the first
place. Our government research and our pri-
vate economy go hand in hand. We can't have
one without the other.
Evening star., 1961-02-05

We need new industries, new jobs and new
products. Space technology can give US all
three, depending on how fast and how well our
private companies can turn the new materials
and skills into consumer goods.
The faster they do this, the more tax money
our government can collect, and the more funds
we can make available for space research. And
in turn, more research means that more break.
throughs will become available to private firms.
