BY JOHN McKELWAY
Star staff Writer

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. IL
A realistic Negro who is deep
ly engaged in the politics of
Georgia sat in a bare meeting
room Of a YMCA and said
evenly that there would be
Negroes who will vote for
Marvin Griffin.
Mr.. Griffin, a former Cover
nor. is running for the nomi-
nation to the same post again
tomorrow in the Democratic
primary. He has asked all
white voters to stick with him
and offset the "NAACP bloc
vote" he expects to be turned
in for Carl Sanders, his oppo-
nent. Mr.. Sanders, a moderate,
feels the South's racial prob
lens can be solved decently
and with time.
But MIR. Griffin apparently
will pick up some Negro votes
although he has asked for
none.
"One reason" said the OBJ
server. "is money. Money al
ways plays a part in a Georgia
election"
There is another reason, he
continued. With Mr.. Griffin,
he said. some Negroes feel they
would have a better chance to
"precipitate an incident"
With a man who has cam
paigned to hold the racial line,
the rebels-a new type for the
South-would have q clear-cut
cause.
But yet, he said, there was nc
Evening star., 1962-09-11
PRIMARY FACTOR
Georgia Awaits Negro Vote

doubt in his mind that Mr..
Sanders will receive overwhelm-
ing Negro support in Atlanta
and throughout the State and
take the election.
And he feels this election may
show Negroes hold the balance
of power in Georgia and that
race no longer will be an issue
in the State.
Within the Negro voting
bloc the line now and for the
immediate future is to work for
those men who will permit
gradual integration throughout
the State.
This approach to the long
struggle for equal rights has
apparently been accepted by
the Negro Young Turks who,
Negro sources here maintain,
agreed to end integration dem
onstrations in Albany, Ca, at
least until the primary election
is over with.
Private polls, it is said, were
taken during the demonstra-
tions and revealed that they
were causing Mr.. Sanders to
slip in popularity. White voters
on the fence apparently were
falling off and ready for Mr..
Griffin and his hard approach.
Meanwhile, those who pre-
Sumably would like to see Mr..
Griffin Governor may have
damaged his cause.
Out in the country, night
riders burned down two Negro
churches, one having been used
by Negroes working to register
Negro voters.

Berlin Refugee
Escapes Gunfire

2l-year-old man swan SOC
yards to the safety of West
Berlin today, despite tommygun
fire from East German police
The dramatic escape-the
fifth of the day-occurred at
$3.50 am. near the old Reich
stag building.
Jumping from the Marschall
Bridge in East Berlin, the
young man swan along the
east bank of the Spree River,
apparently escaping detection
until he was ready to swim
across. Four shots were fired
at him, West Berlin police said,
but all missed.
He reached shore near the
Reichstag, burned out nearly
80 years ago and now under
repair.
Police withheld the young

Russian Wine Gift
Is Surprise to U.S..
BY the Associated Press

The White House was taken
by surprise today by reports
that a gift Of five crates of
Russian wine is on it's way
from Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev to President Kennedy.
"All know about it is what
I read in the newspapers" COM
mented Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger.
The wine was flown to Lon
don yesterday in a British air
liner and was scheduled to be
sent on to Washington today.
Mr.. Salinger said he was as
much in the dark about the
wine as British Overseas Air

Millions Of Dying Fish
Litter Potomac Waters

Small fish by the millions
have been dying in the Po-
tomac, but there was no def
mite explanation today of why.
Boatmen and harbor police
reported dead fish, about five
inches long, littering the water
from Marshall Hall, 18 miles
downriver to above Key Bridge.
Harbor police said the fish
resembled herring or white
rerch, and estimated they were
a. thick as 80 to the square
ynrd in some spots in the
channel.
Paul v. Freese, assistant su-
perintendent in charge of Dis
trict sewer operations, ad-
vanced the theory that a short

age Of dissolved oxygen and
low river flow due to drought
might have something to do
with the dead fish.
His departments last weekly
water sampling indicated a
drop in oxygen from a normal
three parts per million to less
than one in places. He said
that any increase in pollution
due to less river flow would
probably not affect the fish,
which are apparently used to
a dirty Potomac.
Last week the river was
down to a flow of 700 million
gallons a day. The record low
is 506 million gallons a day.
Mr.. Freese said the sampling
report was pretty unhappy"

Plans Unveiled
Cost of Project
Put at $50 Million
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

New architectural plans for
the National Cultural Center,
which is to rise 100 feet from
the banks Of the Potomac River
near the Lincoln Memorial,
were unveiled today.
Under the new, scaled-down
drawings, the center will house
a 1,200-seat theater, a 2,750-
seat symphony hall and a third,
2.500-seat hall for opera, musi-
cal comedy and ballet. The
estimated cost is $50 million.
The original plans were
junked IS impractical. They
had called for a more palatial
structure featuring q huge
center ballroom, three main
auditoriums and two smaller
ones. The price tag was SIS
million.
RetractabIe Roof Area
The new sketches were to be
submitted by Architect Edward
Durell Stone to Mrs. John F.
Kennedy and a group of dis
tinguished citizens, including
the center's Board Of Trustees,
at ceremony in Newport, r. I.
In addition to the three main
halls, the building also would
include meeting rooms and
other facilities for the perform
ing arts.
The new plans also provide
for a roof area in a garden
like setting for such attractions
as band concerts, art exhibits,
theater-in-the-round and fes-
tivals.
The sketches show a re-,
tractable roof for this area.
This would permit open-air
events during pleasant weather
along with year-round use.
There would be space for the
roof performances for 5000 to
1000 persons.
The center was authorized
by Congress in 1858. The money
to build it is to come from
donations.
"Most Exciting" Site
Under a deadline set by Con-
gress, construction must start
by the end of next year. The
center's sponsors hope to COM
plete the center near the end
of 1865.
The site is a 13-acre tract
by the Potomac, north of Con-
stitution avenue, and is to be
expanded by the National Park
Service.

area housewives who do most
Of their food buying in the
chain stores.
The major restaurant and
hotel supply companies here
agreed today that prices, par
ticularly Of beef, have increased
as much as 35 per cent for the
better cuts in the last az weeks
at the same time that incom-
ing supplies have been reduced
by up to so per cent.
Chain store spokeSmen said
they were paying 10 to IL per
cent more for beef and up to
20 per cent more for pork. ALI
said smaller price increases
also have taken place on lamb
and veal.
'Driving Us Crazy"
Asked what the impact of the

District meat wholesaler said:
"It's driving us crazy. We've
got to have prime cuts of beef
but it's difficult to get and the
prices are prohibitive. It's
reached the point where we
can't even get our markup on
meat any more"
A random poll Of housewives
in some suburban chain food
stores disclosed that the

women shoppers are well aware
Of the rising trend.
Mrs. Rubin Shulman of 1049
Ruatan street, Silver Spring,
paused in her buying to tell
a reporter: II intend to stock
as much as I can now at pres
ent prices on meat. After that
Wen go to fish and dairy
products"
Another woman, who said
she was a grandmother, de-
clared: "This situation makes
it difficult for little families
with fixed incomes. When food
prices rise. you have to give
up the extras like piano les
sons. You have to eat first"
One woman looked at the
meat counter of q store in
Langley Park and said: "Steak
is too high. I won't buy any
today"
Suppliers Fearful
A spokesman for one major
supply house said the rising
meat prices could bankrupt
some restaurants who special
ize in beef unless there is a
break in the market soon.
United States choice beef is
costing restaurants $2.65 a
pound by the time they bone it
and trim it and before it goes
on the fire for the customer.

SobIen Dies, Ending Battle
To Escape Spy Life Term

LONDON, Sept. II (AP).-
Fugitive spy Robert A. Soblen
died in a London hospital to-
day and escaped the life sem
tence that awaited him in a
United States Federal prison
for wartime espionage for the
Soviet Union.
Soblen, 81, died in Hillingdon
Hospital, where he had lain
unconscious since last Thurs
day. He had taken an over
dose of barbitJrates just before
he was removed from Brixton
Prison for deportation to the
United States.
DR.. Cyril Barnes, who was in
charge of Soblen's treatment,
told newsmen Soblen's death
was due not to the drugs he
had taken but rather to "ex-
haustion following commissions
and damage to the brain, pre-
Sumably caused by hemor-
rhage."
DR.. Barnes explained that
Soblen had taken a quick
acting barbiturate and "it had
been eliminated from the body
chemically "a hours before
death"
Wife Treated for Shock
Dr.. Barnes said Soblen's
wife, DR.. Dina Soble, q psy-
chiatrist like her husband, was
at his bedside when he died.
She flew to London and had
been at the hospital with him
since Friday.
Just before 10 am. Is am.
EDT), there was q severe turn
for the worse. I asked that
Mrs. Soble should be kept in
the room with her husband
as far as possible. She was with
him at the end.
Death did not occur sud-
denly. but came as his strength
gradually failed"
Later Soblen's wife was ad-
mitted to the hospital as q
patient. A spokesman said she
was being treated for shock.
The lymphatic leukemia
which Soblen claimed was kill
ing him was one factor in his
case, DR.. Barnes said, but eff
the overdose had not happened,
DR.. Soblen might have lived for
some years." Leukemia is can
Ger Of the blood.
Due to Exhaustion
The death was due to ex-
haustion following commissions,
after hemorrhage (which may
have been related to the leu
kemia," DIR. Barnes said.
"The leukemia was not in a
very advanced stage. He had
had the disease for three years
It was one of those which was
running a slow course. The
treatment he had had else
where in the past had been
very effective in keeping the
disease under control"
Scotland Yard homicide de-
tectives were called in to track
down the person who smuggled
the lethal drug to Soblen. Of
ficials at Brixton Prison hos
pital, where Soblen was held
for two months, established
that it was not stocked at the
hospital.
No official explanation was
given for the assignment of
homicide men, but one source
suggested a murder charge
might be filed under the sui
eide act, which deals with
criminal liability for completely
in another's death.
