On Military Car Shooting

HEIDELBERG, Germany,
Mar. % (AP) The United
States Army in Europe has
strongly protested to the Rus
slams against the actions of
East German police in shooting
up a United States military car.
The incident occurred Tues
day, when a police squad
stopped a khaki-colored auto
mobile of the United States
military mission stationed at
Soviet headquarters in Pots
dam, near Berlin.
Submachinegun fire punc-
tured a tire and several bullets
entered the trunk compart-
ment, but the United States
major and his driver, the only
occupants, were not hit. They
eventually returned to Potsdam
safely.
The shooting, the second
such case in a month involving
Western military liaison Off
GERS stationed at Potsdam,
reused Western speculation as
to what may be behind the sud-
den toughnesS. Western liaison
missions from Potsdam have
been free to travel in East Ger
many for II years. Soviet mis-
sionS have similar rights in
West Germany.

Money Stolen
Near PoIiceOffice
In City Center

First precinct police were in
vestigating a complaint today
that more than $400 was stolen
from a concession stand a few
feet from the precinct office in
the Municipal Center. +at
Howard w. Hardy, who oper-
ates the stand for the WASH
ington Society for the Blind,
said he placed between $3.50
and $500 in an envelope and
locked it in a metal cabinet
before leaving yesterday. "a
This morning the cabinet was
still locked, but the envelope
was missing. Precinct Capt.
John S. Hughes said scratches
were found around the lock,
but there was no indication it
had been forced. Police believe
it is possible someone had
sprung the lock with a blow
then closed 1t again.
Policemen from the first
precinct and traffic division
pass the stand, and a guard Is
stationed at the Indiana ave-
nue. entrance on the same floor.

Jobs Viewed
AS GROWING
Election Issue
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy's decision
to ask Congress for an emer-
gency public works program to
combat unemployment reflects
the growing recognition in both
parties that jobs-or the lack of
them-may be a major issue in
the 1862 elections.
Republicans lacking a big
foreign policy target. have been
eyeing unemployment as a
weak spot in the Democratic
record. The latest issue of

Some Democrats Worried
Some Democrats have been
worrying publicly about the i'm
pact of continuing joblessness-
particularly in the guberna-
torial races in big industrial
States.
BY coincidence, Republican
candidates for Governor of
Connecticut and Pennsylvania
were talking about the issue
yesterday, just as the President
repeatedly was making his deci-
sion to ask for emergency aid.
In a press conference, ex-
Representative Edwin H. May,
jr., one of five candidates for
the Connecticut nomination,
said the loss of industry from
that State would be a major is
sue in the drive to end eight
years of Democratic rule.
Unemployment in the State,
he said, is up around 10000
and three major plants have
closed in the last two months
alone.
The No. l Issue
In a separate interview, Rep
resentative William w. Scran-
ton, G. o. P. organization
choice for Governor of Penn
sylvania, said: Without ques-
ton, jobs are the No. / issue in
the campaign. It's hard for
me to conceive that business is
going to come into a State with
an ADA Governor"
Mr.. Scranton's prospective
Democratic opponent, ex-
Philadelphia Mayor Richard
son Dilworth, has been affili-
ated with the Americans for
Democratic Action.
Charges that incumbent
Democratic State administra-
tions have frightened off bust
ness by high-tax, inefficient
government have also been
heard in the current G. o. P.
campaigns of Richard M. Nixon
in California, George Romney
in Michigan and James Rhodes
in Ohio.

ell tried to exploit the same
concern in the New Jersey gov
ernorship last November, but
failed.
Despite this, Democratic pol
iticians are not discounting the
possible boomerang this year of
the issue that has served them
so well so often in the past. A
private poll showing joblessness
the main concern of voters
stirred considerable discussion
at the recent Midwest Demo-
cratic Conference in White Sui
Iphur Springs, w. Va.
Most Democrats have calcu-
lated they could counter any
Republican exploitation of this
issue by pointing to the actions
recommended by the Kennedy
administration to boost unem-
ployment benefits, provide aid
to depressed areas and now, ap-
parently, to step up public
works.
A group of House Republi-
cans, recognizing the impor-
tance of grabbing some of the
credit for affirmative action
against unemployment, set up
a special committee to study
long-term joblessness last year.
The results Of their work were
embodied in the Republican
substitute for the administra-
tion'S manpower retraining bill
offered in the House earlier
this month by Representative
IGoodell, Republican of New
York.
Acceptance by the House of
the Goodell amendments en-
abled Republicans to claim at
least partial credit for this leg
IiSlation.
