To Refugees

BERLIN, Dec. 30 (AP). -
Harry Seidel, 24-year-old for
mer bicycle racing idol in East
Germany. was sentenced by q
Communist court today to life
Imprisonment for helping
refugees escape to the west
through tunnels under the
Berlin wall.
The sentence meted out by
East Germany's Supreme Court
was the stiffest ever given to
a person caught and tried for
helping East Germans escape
Communist rule.
German leaders in West
Berlin and West Germany de-
nounced the sentence as an act
of terror reminiscent of the
worst days of Stain.
Mr.. Seidel, a former 1000
meter bicycle champion of East
Germany. fled to West Berlin
August Is, 1861, the day the
Communists began building
their wall through Berlin.
Six weeks later he went back
to East Berlin and helped his
wife and child escape. His wife

husband helped many others
escape after learning that hel
mother and five other relatives
were arrested following hel
flight.
Last October, Mr.. Seide,
promised his wife not to en-.
gage in any more TUNE

research-type Saturn rockets
during an atmospheric re-entry
test of an Apollo spacecraft.
The Saturn, designed to send
three-man Apollo vehicles to
the moon and back, will have
far more power than required
for a mere earth re-entry test.
So the heavy micrometeorite
satellite can be sent into orbit
as a by-product of the Apollo
re-entry trial.
The National AeronauticS and
Space Administration said the
great size of the satellite will

over the test announcement is
sued by the Air Force at Cape
Canaveral shortly after the test
a week ago.
That announcement said
the USAF air-launch ballis-
tic missile, Skybolt, completed
a successful test flight; that
| it FLEW it's full mission range
and "impacted in the target
area"
The version in some Penta-
gon quarters was that the Sky
bolt could not have "impacted'
because no re-entry nose CONF
was carried for impacting pur,
poSeS-and that If it had car
ried one the cone would have
landed almost 100 statute miles
beyond the predicted point Of
impact.
And the Defense Department
said yesterday a final report on
the tests results will not be
completed until mid-January,
Semantics may be involved
in this new wrangle over the
missile. Whole one school talks
in terms of a precisely pre-
dicted point, the other speaks
Of a target area. The former
reference is to a particular
point of latitude and longi-
tude. The latter refers to an
area which usually is rectangu-
lar and may cover scores OF
hundreds OF square miles.
The Defense Department last
August issued a memorandum
to all services and interested
agencies of the Pentagon as
guidance for the occasions
when missile test announce
ments should be made and
what they should say.
The guidance includes vari-
Gus forms Of announcements
to cover successful trials In
which test objectives. are met,
together with alternative forms
to provide for situations in
which failure occurs either in
launching or after launching.
The Air Force declined to
expand on its brief comment
that the test was successful
and produced all detectives,
But 1t seemed probable that
when the Skybolt rocket was

fired from a B-52 bomber the
intention was to test its capa-
bility to fly a distance such as
would be needed in combat
and to keep on course over that
range. There was nothing to
indicate that either of these

There also was a question
about the reason for the test
and who authorized it after
President Kennedy and Secre-

decided, as a matter of policy,
that the Skybolt program would
be dropped.
In reply to a question, the
Defense Department yester-
day gave this chronology

Britain wants to avoid destruc-
ton of the Tshombe power.
The British have a consider
able investment in Katanga's
rich mining industry. They have
an even bigger stake in the
neighboring Rhodesian terri
tories to the south. If an ad-
ministration hostile to British
interests ran Katanga, the out
look would be bleak not only
there but in the Rhodesias,
where this country still exer-
cises wide political and eco
nomic influence.
Throughout the chaotic, 30
month-old drama Of Congolese
statehood thhe Macmillan gov
eminent has been under stiff
pressure from business and po-
litical interests which want to
see Mr.. Tshombe's authority
preserved.
The conservative Daily Tele-
graph backed Mr.. Tshombe in
an editorial assailing U. N. and
United States policies in Ka-
tanga. The newspaper asserted
Mr.. Thant's order to remove all
roadblocks in Elisabethville was
"a declaration of war" running
truce prospects.
There are sinister reports
that the voice is the voice of
U Thant, but the hand is the
hand of President Kennedy, u
the Daily Telegraph said. Brit
ain, standing by and seeing Ka-
tanga trampled, must expect to
lose its last friends on the dark
continent. For in this rising
and foreseeable crisis, our lead
ers should have insisted that

Of fraudulent practices will
face interrogation at later
hearings.
The objective, Senator Nc
Namara said in a statement,
is to check on whether Federal
laws are strict enough to curb
abuses and whether the Gov
eminent should do a better job
of alerting elderly citizens to
sharp operators.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. 29.-United Nations forces
in the Congo have now come
face to face with nightmarish
problem: Must they clamp a
colonial occupation on Ka-
tanga?
This is the challenge which
opponents of a military crack
down had long warned would
follow a successful blitz.
The blitz has taken place.
Elisabethville, the Katang a
capital, is in United Nations
hands. The Katangese air force
has been virtually knocked out
United Nations troops are fan
ming out to seize remaining
centerS Of resistance-Kolwezi,
Kipushi, and Jadotville.
But the United Nations job
may only have begun.
Main Aspects
The challenge has two main
aspects:
/. Guerrilla warfare. United
Nations troops have not cap
turde any of the roughly SOC
white mercenaries believed to
be directing the Katanga army,
The mercenaries, and their
troops, have vanished into the
bush.
This could mean the Katan-
ga army has dissolved. But
United Nations sources doubt
it. They take seriously Presi-
dent Noise Tschombe's threat
to fight to the death with
traps, poisoned arrows, and
spears"
2. Scorched earth, Mr..
Tshombe long has warned pri-
vately that he would destroy
the public facilities of Katan-
ga-itS roads, bridges, hos
pitfalls, and above all its rich
mining installations-if the
United Nations crushed him
with military force.
The Union Miniere, the big
mining corporation Of Katan-
ga, has professed to credit this
threat and to be frightened by
it. Possible countermeasures
have played a major part in
United Nations planning for
months.
Now those countermeasures
will be tested, Mr.. Tshombe
warned today from a secret
hideout to which he had fled
that he will start total de-
struction" If the United Ma

An envelope possibly containing

Patrolman T. E. Martin found
the object on a sidewalk about
