West Berlin Holds
Tunnel Betruyer

BERLIN, Jan. Ia. (AP). -
West Berlin police today an
nounced the arrest of a man
accused of betraying an escape
tunnel under the Communist
built wall.
He was identified only as
Erich o., 43, a mechanic sus-
pected of working for the Com
muniSt state security service
since 1860.
Police said he was sentenced
in 1858 to five years in Jail
in East Germany for SANDER
ing the Red state. The Com
lmunists suspended three years
of his Jail term when he vol
unteered to spy in West Ber-
lin, police said.
The mechanic tipped off the
East German intelligence serv-
ice about the construction of a
tunnel, thus preventing the
escape of a number of people,
police reported. They did not
disclose where the tunnel was
dug or whether any arrests
were made.

Four Soviet Jets
En- Route to Indiu

MOSCOW, Jan. IA (AP) AT
least four Soviet jet fighter
planes are being shipped today
from the Soviet Union to India,
informed sources said, and are
due in Bombay in about two
weeks.
The planes, of the NIGH
type, are reported aboard a
ship sailing from the Black Sea
port of Odessa. India has a
consulate in Odessa.
The planes we're to have been
sent last month under an
agreement which calls for the
Soviet Union to build a MIG
factory in India. The planes
now being shipped are for test
ing and training purposes. Ten
to is Indian pilots have been
getting MIG training in this
country.
Shipment apparently was de-
layed because of the Kremlin's
uncertainty as to how the In
dian Chinese border war would
develop. and how the shipment
would affect Soviet relations
with China.

Soldier Survives 2 DAYS
Adrift in Heavy Seas

NEWPORT BEACH, Calf.
Jan. IA (AP).-For 48 sleepless
hours the young soldier, adrift
on the Pacific Ocean in a
small, powerless boat, fought
seemingly unsurmountable odds
to stay alive.
Waves towering up to 8 feet
battered him. Wind gusts OF
up to so miles an hour drove
him nearly 40 miles out to sea.
His main concern, said SpI5
Gregory S. Morrison, 81, of
Oakland. Calf, was to keep
from being swamped. His mo-
tor had been torn off by a
piece of driftwood Friday aft
ernoon.
There were lots Of times
when I didn't think I'd make
it," he said. II had to stay
awake to keep the boat point
ing into the wind. That was
the only way to keep from get
ting swamped.
Bailed With Shoe
"Once the current was pull
ing one way and the wind was
blowing another. 1 just sat
there while the boat kept 60
ing around in circles"
He kept bailing, he said,
with an Army issue shoe"
Then yesterday the Canadian
navy frigate Beacon Hill, on a
training exercise, spotted the
l4-foot outboard and its salt
encrusted occupant.
II waved my paddle, jacket
and everything else that was
loose" said the slim, bespec-
tacled serviceman, an inexpe-
rienced sailing hand.
Unseen by Craft
Doctors found him tired but
not seriously harmed. No
search had been launched for
him because the firm from
which he rented the boat for
a brief fishing trip did not
realize the craft was missing
until just before he was found.
The weather had been calm
when he left.

coupling and tamped shots, he
said, will be to determine how
seismic waves react in envi-
ronments other than those in
which United States tests have
been conducted to date. All
tests in the continental United
States have been held either
in Nevada or New Mexico.
DR.. Bing emphasized ARPA's
position that the tests are not
designed to develop ways the
United States itself may be able
to obscure future underground
tests, but to find out the tech
niques and problems it may
have to deal with if the Soviets
should try to avoid detection.
Salt DOmes in Russia
The Russians have many
salt domes similar to those in
the MissiSsippi-Louisiana oil
regions, DR.. Bing said, but that
Is not the main reason Tatum
dome has been selected.
The problem, he said, is to
develop a cavity in a homogen-
eous material large enough to
have great decoupling impact
and yet within reasonable cost
limitations.
What the Acc and ARPA
will be able to do once they
confirm how well nuclear seis-
mic waves can be muffled is
another matter, DR.. Bing ad-
mitted.
No significant break throughs
were achieved as a result Of un-
derground tests in the past
year. he said, nor have any
non-semic techniques been
developed that might offer a
better chance for foolproof
detection.

Youth CORPS
Need Cited
ByHumphrey
BY the Associated Press

Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, said today the
need for a Youth Conservation
Corps is greater this year thar
ever before.
The first bill to be introduced
in the Senate after convening
Of the 88th Congress on
Wednesday was Senator Hum
phrey's measure to establish
the Youth Conservation Corps
1t is similar to legislation he
introduced in the last Congress.
This year, Senator Humphrey
said, his measure has been
given top priority by other
congressional leaders and by
President Kennedy and his
administration.
"The greater need for a
Youth Conservation Corps this
year is dramatized by the tragic
rise in unemployment among
young men," Senator Hum
phrey said in a report for
broadcast over Minnesota radio
stations.
Almost 16 per cent Of the
out-of-school teen-agers and
young adults in this country are
now unemployed. The rise of
unemployment among them has
been rising steadily in recent
months"
Establishment Of a Youth
Conservation Corps and put
ting young men and boys to
work on conservation programs
in the Nations forests and
parks can help to halt this rise
and put an end to delinquency
breeding joblessness, Senator

and may have jeopardized

put 81 men on the job to hunt
for empty bottles.
Pointing out that there are
1900 employees in the Wash

postal officials said that only
30 empty liquor bottles a day
are now being discovered, the
union declared this means that
less than one-third Of | per

Construction Planned
 To Start This Fall ..v

Palmer voters yesterday ap- proved the issuance of general obligation bonds to construct a sewer system for the city of Palmer, by vote of 169 to 21.
 The vote of eight to one in favor of the issue authorized the city of Palmer to spend up to $798,000 to construct n e W sewer lines, upgrade those now existing, purchase or construct an outfall, and build sewage disposal lagoons.
 However, the actual cost of the system may be less, if ap- plied-for federal grants are ob- tained, city manager Winston Gilchrist pointed out.
 Gilchrist said that Ralph Stephano, consulting engineer, began work this morning, and expects to have his plans com plete by July Is. The city man. ager today notified all agencies to which the city has applied

for grants of the voter approt'al of the issuance of bonds.
 If all goes well, construction will be started by Sept. IS Of this year." Gilchrist said. sThe system should be complete by early summer, 1864"
 The engineer estimates that 1t will take about four months to build the system, the man ager added.
 If we have a reasonable fall, we should get in a month to six weeks of construction before freezeup," he stated.
 It will be up to the contrae tor to decide where construc- ton will begin, Gilchrist said in answer to those who want t9 know when they can expec. sewers on their own property.

Signatures were not obtained from Will lard Johnson, Ralph Moore, and Merritt Long.
 Jenkins, who attended the city council meeting on June II, said that the road is design ed to last for 20 years, with a minimum of maintenance, and that if at future time the city of Palmer decides to install sidewalks, curbing, and storm sewers, the state will make the necessary changes.
