Allies Suggest Russians
Use Easier Berlin Entry

BERLIN. Sept. 3 (AP).-The
Western allies halted q Soviet
guard convoy at Checkpoint
Charlie yesterday and sug-
gested the Russians use a less
troublesome route to West Ber-
lin-the Brandenburg Gate,
walled UP by the East Germans,
or the Sandkrug Bruecke
crossing in the British sector.
There was no official an
announcement Of the Western
commandants' suggestion, but
newsmen at the crossing to
East Berlin heard it being read
to a Soviet colonel in charge of
the convey. The colonel shook
his head as he sat in his COM
mand car and was heard to
say. 'Nyet, nyet" (no, MOI.

Since angered West Berliners
stoned Russian guard buses
after the fatal shooting Of flee
ing East German Peter Fechter,
Is. on August II. the Russians
have been using armored We
hicles to transport their change
of guard at the Russian war
memorial in West Berlin.
United States and British We
hicles provide escorts.
The Brandenburg Gate Is
nearer to the Soviet memorial
but the East Germans blocked
it off a year ago when they
built the wall sealing off East
Berlin. The gate is heavily for
titled with antitank barriers.
Sandkrug-Bruecke, in Inva-
lidenstrasSe, is one Of seven
crossings set up by the East
Germans for entry into East
Berlin.
The suggestion to use these
as entries into West Berlin
came from Mai. Gen. Albert
Watson II of the United States,
Maj. Gen. Claude Dunbar Of
Britain and Mai, Gen, Edouard
Toulouse of France. A we'll
informed Western source said
he believed the commandants
set no deadline for the Russians
to switch from Checkpoint
Charlie. at Friedrichstrasse In
the American sector.
Asked how the Soviets could
drive through the blocked
Brandenburg Gate-one of Ber-
Inns landmarks and for many
Germans q symbol of unity
one informant said, II think
that's their business"
Brandenburg is much nearer
the Soviet war memorial and a
Soviet crossing there would
eliminate what some Western
ers think now looks like a daily
show Of Russian strength in
West Berlin.

Tests Run on Gun
Found in Home

Fairfax County police today
awaited the results Of FBI
crime laboratory tests on three
.38-caliber pistols found in the
home Of q I7-year-old boy in
the same neighborhood where
Lewis M. Goldfein was shot to
death by q prowler early last
Saturday.

chief Of county detectives, said

that he was at home when the
|17-year-old Goldfein youth
was shot in the yard Of his

tion, who lives just three blocks
from the Goldfein home at

mitted to the Southwestern
State Hospital, a mental insti-#
tuition in Marion, Va. 1t. Eike
said the youth escaped from
Marion but was recaptured and
subsequently was placed on
probation in custody Of his
parents. Last March. the de-
tective said, the suspect was
questioned in connection with
a peeping tom incident.
1t. Eike said the youth has
been questioned but not ar
rested in connection with the
Goldfein Staying. Interest in
him as a suspect was height
ened when Fairfax police found
three .38 caliber Smith &
Wesson pistols belonging to
his father in the family home.
Lewis Goldfein was watching
stars through a telescope in
his front yard shortly after
midnight Friday when, police
theorize, he heard or saw a

1t. Allouache said heavy
rifle and machine-gun fire con-
tinued for some hours at both
Ain Boucif and Charon, but he
had no information on casual
ties on either side.
Mr.. Ben Bella apparently had
ordered the regular troops to
halt any attack meeting stiff
resistance, in an effort to avoid
bloodshed.
The gun and grenade clash
in the Algiers Casbah was the

around Takistan, 100 miles
northwest Of Teheran and about
20 miles southwest Of the major

Red Cross Counts Casualties
The Iranian Red Cross said
the quake killed 5000 Of the
1000 inhabitants Of Dan-Isfa-
han near Takistan.
The village, set on the foot
hill Of an 8.385-foot mountain,
was left a mass Of mud and

for help as a rescue plane
landed on the fringe of the
