ShriVer Hopes
For Successor
BY the Associated Press

Peace Corps Director Sargent
Shriver refused last night to
discuss his political future. But
he said he hoped it wouldn't
be too long before someone
else takes over the agency he
has led since its inception in
1861.
Mr.. Shriver, appearing on
an NBC radio-televiSion pro-
gram. was asked how he would
respond if President johnson
were to ask him to be the
Democratic candidate for Vice
President next year. His name
has been one of several men,
toned as possible vice presi-
Dental candidates.
Il think that suggestions like
that are very flattering and
complimentary" Mr.. Shriver
said. But I also remember
that during this period of ma
tional mourning for President
Kennedy, President johnson
has asked everybody in the
Democratic Party to abstain
from political comment. !
would much prefer not to dis
cuSs political matters either
for other people on this
program"
Earlier Mr.. Shriver was
asked whether he expected tc
remain Peace Corps director
reasonably indefinitely in view
of published reports of his in
terest in such things as health
education and welfare. the Al
lance for Progress. and Latir
America. He replied:
I've never looked on the
Peace Corps as a limitation or
the type of work for MYSELF
I think I ought to continue tt
try to do this work as long a:
the President wants me to. but
I'm sure many others could d.
it equally as we'll and I woulc
hope it wouldn't be too far be.

UIbricht Raps
West on Visits

BERLIN, Dec. Is (AP).-
Walter Ulbricht. the East Ger
man Communist leader, today
blamed the West for failure
thus far to agree on Christmas
visits through the Berlin wall
for West Berliners.
Mr.. Ulbricht rushed a tele-
gram to the executive committee
of the West German Socialist
Party. This was an indirect
way of addressing Mayor Willy
Brandt, who is acting national
chairman of the party.
Negotiations still are going
on and it was not Immediately
clear whether Mr.. Ulbricht's
accusation indicated failure.
The bearded Red leader stands
to gain either way. If the two
sides agree, he could claim his
laSt-minute intervention was
responsible. If they fail to
agree, he is out early with a
blast against the West.
The Red regime proposed IL
days ago that West Berliners
with close relatives in East
Berlin be allowed to pass
through the wall over the
Christmas holiday. Nearly hall
a million West Berliners would
be eligible.
All technical details of issu-
ing day passes have been
worked out by negotiators from
each side. But final signature
was held up by reluctance of
West Berlin authorities to sign
a formal pact that could
amount to recognition Of the
Communist regime.

Hofer, the son Of q Tyrolian
tavern-keeper. led his countrymen
against the armies Of Napoleon,
which he defeated in four battles
before being captured and taken
to Mantua to be executed - in
chains, for fear lest the Herculean
mountaineer overpower his cap
tors at the last moment -.
The Tyrolians' present plight
may be traced back to the hag-
Cling which went on between the
European powers as the war Of
1914-l918 began, when the Italian
Government sought to make the
best bargain before joining one
side or the other. The Austrian
Government then offered Italy the
Trentin province, which had q
mixed population Of Austrians and
Italians, but refused even to dis
cuss Tyrol, or any part Of 1t.
England and France, meanwhile.
offered Italy not only the Trentin.
but also that part of the Tyrol
which lay South Of the Bremen
Pass, in case of Allied victory. IL
italy joined in the war against
the Central Powers.
The deal was sealed in 1915 in
the secret Treaty Of London, and
South Tyroi was duly delivered to
Italy at the Treaty Of Saint Ger
main, in 19l9.-in the teeth Of
the opposition by Woodrow VIII
