East
HKKUN (AF)-T- he
Cerman Foreign Ministry tonight called the lifting of seven
refugees from Steinstuecken
by U.S. Army helicopters an
"act of organid kidnapping"
and a violation of East German
sovereignty.
t German refugees
The
Steinstuecken
into the
district, a part of West Berlin that
is surrounded
ty East German
territory, and weie lifted out yesterday by the helkc pters.
The hamlet has become a symbol of Western rights in West
Berlin. It has only 200 inhabitants
and is 700 yards beyond the borders of the Western sector.
A I'.S. Army spokesman said the
helicopters were en a routine visit
to the hamlet and agreed to fly
the refugee out. Had they attempted to reach the main part
of West Berlin by road they would
have been caught by Communist
police.
"Only because cf the utmost restraint shown by the organs of
the German Democratic Republic
was a serious incident avoided."
an East German Foreign Office
spokesman said.
The East German Foreign Affairs Ministry Hated that the
overflight of East Germany by the
helicopters bad clearly violated
l ast Germany's "air sovereignty."
Tie spokesman asserted that
"the people mho initiated this will
have to bear full responsibility for
euch provocation."
A spokesman frr the U.S. mission in Berlin said merely "We do
have the right to fly over territory within Berlin air space and
this was well within it."
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, President
Kennedy's special representative,
flew by helicopter into Steinstuecken only a day after taking up his
new duties here. A few days later,
the I'.S. Army took three military
I olicemrn by helicopter into Steinstuecken for duty there.
The East German Foreign Ministry claimed the names of the persons flown out by the Americans
"are well known to us."
Steinstuecken is one of the points
v. here refugees are still getting out
of East Germany.
East Germany is tightening the
security belt all aloiiK her
border with West Germany, an
inofficial Western intullijjcnce
agency reported.

Syrian Army Officers Revolt

BEIRUT, Lebanon, (AP) Army officers revolted in Syria yesterday in an apparent bid to tear
the region loose from its union with Egypt.
Scraps of information reaching this neighboring city, indicated some fighting and great confusion. In Damascus, the Syrian capital. The revolutionary command proclaimed the city under
curfew.
The country appeared divided, with the West
and South rallying to the rebels and the northern
districts around Aleppo standing firm in support
of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's United Arab
Republic.
In Cairo, Nasser, betraying deep emotion, declared the upiising more serious than even the
invasion of 1956.
In a broadcast, he spurned all ideas that he
might "Join the enemies of nationalism and announce the dissolution of the United Arab Republic."

He ordered the mechanized,
of the Egyptian army in Syria, about 15.000 strong,
to crush the rebellion.

Urged To Support Vlea

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y., (AP) The United
States and Britain proposed yesterday that the
U.N. General Assembly throw its weight behind
President Kennedy's call on Russia to resume
talks on a nuclear test ban treaty.
The two Western powers introduced a resolution asking Assembly endorsement of the need

f

for completing action on a treaty providing adequate controls to prevent cheating.
It was the latest development In an East-We- st
race to present conflicting disarmament proposals
to the
Assembly. Yesterday the Soviet
Union brought in its detailed stand including a
demand that the test issue be submerged in overall disarmament talks.
The Assembly itself went Into recess until
Monday. Delegates and U.N. personnel attended
an afternoon memorial service in the assembly-fo- r
Secretary-GenerDag Hammarskjold, whose funeral will take place in Uppsala, Sweden, tomorrow.

Nixon Runs For Governor
WASHINGTON AP) Most Republicans welcomed Richard M. Nixon's entry into the gubernatorial scramble in California. For a different
reason, so did California's Democratic governor,
Edmund G. (PaU Brown.
A View that Nixon still may be in the battle
for the 1904 Republican presidential nomination
despite his vow not to seek the role was expressed
by Brown and by Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York.
Rockefeller, who may seek the GOP presidential
nomination himself, said he couldn't eliminate
Nixon from the picture because a draft will always
be a possibility. Nixon's statement did not close
the door on this.
Brown, predicting he will whip Nixon for the
governorship, told newsmen:
"I welcome the opportunity to confront Richard
Nixon in a campaign that once and lor all will
retire him to private life."

How would you like to be stranded In the path of a
hurrtcatie?
This was the experience of a UK student from the
Panama Canal Zone who was marooned in the middle of
(he Gulf of Mexico by Hurricane Carla while returning
lo school this fall.
Rochelle Head, a senior English major, spent two
Jays aboard a ship anchored in the Gulf of Mexico while
Hurricane Carla was lashing Texas and Louisiana 'with
Inrr violent winds.
The steamer, which Is called the "college ship" because so many college students return to the states on it
( ach fall, set sail on
Wednesday, Sept. 9, and should have
docked at New Orleans the following Sunday.
But Carla delayed the ship two days, causing the
trip from Cristobal, Canal Zone, to New Orleans to take
ns long as the trip from the Canal Zone to New York.
Rorhrlle said the first hint that things were not as
Chey should be came Friday. But the ship officials did
not think they would be more than two hours late getting
into port on Sunday.
"On Sunday, when we should have docked, the steamer only traveled 40 miles, and I think we were traveling

Rochelle said she was rather depressed during the
storm.
"But I rallier enjoy it now that it Is over," she
added. "I think it Is interesting to say that I was stranded in the Gulf of Mexico during a hurricane."
Rochelle was born at Conway, SC., but has lived in
the Canal Zone since she was l'i years old. She attended the Canal Zone Junior College for two
years before entering Douglas College for Women lu
New Brunswick. N.J., last September.
She transferred here last January because she did
not like going to a girl's school. Furthermore, the weather
was too cold In New Jersey, she added.
"I like UK much beter than I did Douglas College
because of coeducational education and coeducational
dorms. I requested to live In Bowman Hall, and I like
it very much. It is closer to my classes than the women's
residence halls.
"I find the students very nice and friendly."
After being graduated in June, Rochelle plans to
work on her master's degree in library science.
She wants to work in Europe with Special Services
after completing work for her master's degree. She
worked a year for Special Services while she was attending the Canal Zone Junior College.

Blazer Lectures

Needed: Student Interest
Kernel

The

cannot

stress

too

strongly the importance of every
University student and faculty member attending the Blazer Lecture
series this semester.
Because of the endowment made
each year by Faul Blazer, president
of the Ashland Oil and Refining Co.,
everyone at UK is afforded the opportunity to gain authoritative knowledge about major issues, past and
present.
It has been disheartening in the
past to observe the meager concern
displayed by students toward the
Blazer Lectures. We hope that this
year our "community of learners" will
take a more positive attitude and attend every lecture.
Some students have expressed the
hope that a more suitable place than
the Taylor Education Building could
be found for presenting the lectures.
We, too, have held this view, as has
Dr. Thomas D. Clark, head of the

History Department and coordinator
for the series. It is pleasing to note
that the first lecture will be held in
Guignol Theatre, certainly a more
comfortable and pleasant place in
which to sit and hear the lectures.
Dr. Clark lias dedicated himself
to the task of securing the most enlightened and capable lecturers available. He is to be commended by the
entire University community for his
work with the series.
First in the series of three lectures this semester will be Paul La
Follette, former governor of Wisconsin, who will speak on, "Roosevelt,
MacArthur, and the War in the
Pacific." La Follette was a U. S. Army
colonel in the Pacific during World
War II.

A Guest Editorial
Should any of the states, in the
present-daconditions, resume nuclear- weapons tests, it is not difficult
to imagine the consequences of this
act. Other states possessing the same
weapons would be forced to take the
same road. An impulse would be
testing
given to resume nuclear-arm- s
of any capacity, under any conditions,
and unlimited by anything. The government which would be the first to
y

s
tests
begin the
would take upon itself a heavy responsibility before the peoples. . . .
Should any side violate the obligations to which it has committed itself,
the instigators of such violations will
cover themselves with shame, and
they will be condemned by the peoples of the world. Premier Khrush-elie- c

Webster's New Words
"Generation," says the dictionary,
is: "The average lifetime of man, or
the ordinary period of time at which
one rank follows another, or father is
succeeded by child; an age. A generation is usually taken to be about
33 years." So, at least, the definition
went in 1911, when the second edition
of Webster's Unabridged, or New International, Dictionary was published.
But events fly by ever faster. Whether
or not the printed wording (or count)
has been revised will not be apparent until later this month, when an
even newer, third edition is published; but the fact that a new edition
is to appear demonstrates that among
some dictionaries, or dictionary readers, a generation is now 27 years.
Since 1934, the language has
grown in all sorts of scientific, milidirections; 40
tary, and general-slanpages worth, for instance in the
g

addenda of new words prefacing the
latest 19(i0 reprinting of the second
edition. The news from the Webster's
editors, however, is that even with
these new words incorporated the
third edition will list fewer, rather
than more, words. The WX),(KH) entries
of a generation ai;o have been triitir
ined down one might aliiiOst sa
a total of 4"()HK). Do
abridged-t- o
words wear out or become obsolete
faster nowadays? . . .
In any case, "fallout" and
"
and
are now
fully admitted and sanctified components of the liing language; the
(and corrupting and inventing) peoples are now free to fuse
or fission a new set of neologisms,
during the jears over which lexicography's next generation extends.

Official Indications?

Possible Accord On Berlin Appears In Outline
By

JOHN

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP)
The rough outline of a possible
agreement to end the Berlin crisis is beginning to appear in
official statements, including President Kennedy's speech to the United
Nations.
This development indicates, as
some Western diplomats are saying
privately, that sooner or later Russia
and the Allied Powers will agree on
a compromise formula for opening
negotiations to see whether a deal is
possible.
What is highly uncertain is wheth-i- r
the formula can be worked out in
Western diplomatic talks now under
way with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Groin) ko. The talks could
produce accord in the next few days
if Premier Khrushchev is ready to
ease the tensions over Berlin a bit.
If he is not, the current efforts of
Secretary of State Dean Rusk ami
British Foreign Secretary Lord Home
will end in failure.
Should these preliminary discussions collapse, however, the prospect
is that some new effort to arrange
East-We-

negotiations will be undertaken later
in the fall. Western leaders seem privately convinced of this because the
alternative to a Berlin settlement may
well be a nuclear war.
Kennedy told the United Nations
that the Western rowers rfre determined to defend West Berlin "by
whatever means are forced upon
them." But he expressed confidence
that "firmness and reason" can lead
to a peaceful solution.
The President stopped short of
saying what kind of solution might
be acceptable to the United States
and its allies. But he gave some clues.
The United States, he said, is not
committed to any rigid formula, in
other words, the United States is
prepared to consider compromises
and concessions. There can be "no
perfect solution for either side in the,
dispute," the President added.
Kennedy said the United States
recognizes that Germany can be kept
divided by troops and tanks. His
guarded statement implied acceptn
ance indefinitely of the existing
of Germany. Such acceptance
could lead to Western accommodation
divi-sjo-

to communist authority in East Germany.
Khrushchev long has demanded
that the Western Powers recognize
the East German communist 'regime.
The implications of what Kennedy
said stop far short of full recognition,
but the foreign ministers of the
United States, Britain, France, and
West Germany Tiave talked oxer privately the possibility of accepting the
fact of Red rule in East CJefjiiany.
Kennedy said he believed an
agreement could be worked out w hich
would protect "the freedom of West
Berlin and Allied presence and access."

...

This comes close to the crux of
the matter because Khrushchev clearly xvants U. S., British, and French
troops withdrawn. But he also has
talked a great deal about guaranteeing West Berlin as a "free city" and
also guaranteeing access. Tin' gap between his position and Kennedy's
could be a subject of negotiation,
diplomats say, though he would have
to accept the presence of western
troops.
Kennedy also spoke about "recog

nizing the historic and legitimate inter .".its of others in assuring Europe i:i security." What he meant by
this was not explained. But it could
be taken by Khrushchev as an oiler
to discuss security problems, if, as he
has claimed, he is afraid of a resurgent Germany which might one
day be armed with nuclear weapons.
Khrushchev has promised East
Germany a peace treaty by the end
of this year. Kennedy said the Western Allies are "not concerned" with
that. He said it would only be a
"paper arrangement the Soviets wish
to make with a regime of their own
creation."
Thus in the U. S. view and in
the view of Allied governments the
peace treaty is not an issue. The real
issues arise over what Khrushchev
may try to do to West Berlin once
the treaty is signed.
One major reason the Western
Powers would like to get the Soviets
into detailed negotiations on the Berlin
