East Germany Again Demands Air Control BERLIN (UPI) — East Germany charged today that explosives to blow up the Berlin wall are flown into the city aboard Western commercial flights "misusing” air corridors over its territory. It demanded the -right to control allied air traffic over East Germany. Such demands always have been rejected in the past. This one was contained in “Foreign Political Correspondence,” the official bulletin of the East German Foreign Ministry. The text was released by the Communist news service ADN. Russian jets tried to force a small private plane flying one of the air lanes to land last Tuesday. The new developments contributed to fears that the long lull in the East-West cold war over Berlin may be coming to an end. Today’s statement claimed again that no agreements exist covering Western use of land and air routes through the Soviet Zone into Berlin. It said explosives are flown in aboard Western commercial flights because they are not controlled by East Germany. “The transport of explosives shows that exercise of control by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) on the traffic routes to and from Berlin is necessary,” the bulletin said. A period of comparative quiet settled along the Berlin wall about the same time the Cuban missile crisis came to a head last fall. | It extended to the three air corridors between West Berlin and West Germany over Communist East Germany.

forming hypnotic and stimulant drugs which are subject to abuse.” Among these, the report included “the barbiturates, the amphetamines, and the so-called tranquilizers.” The report said that long-term prison sentences now meted out to all drug offenders, with no chance for parole or probation, should be relaxed for small-time peddlers and persons caught in possession of drugs but not selling themKennedy said the report “deserves to be read, discussed and considered by those interested in our nation’s drug and narcotic problems.” “It begins to open the door to understanding about users of narcotics and abusers of the law and suggests forcefully the dangers which confront the American peo-

pie in this difficult area," he said. The President promised in a letter to Commission Chairman E.

Election Victory By Daley Unimpressive WASHINGTON (UPI)— Mayor Richard J. Daley’s unimpressive re-election victory in Chicago pushed Illinois today into the list of potential troublespots for Democrats for the 1964 presidential campaign. Dalgy, chief of one of the Democrats' almost invincible big city machines, was re-elected Tuesday by less than 150,000 votes, a falloff of some 300,000 from his reelection margin four years ago. Illinois was one of the pivotal states which provided President Kennedy with his electoral vote majority in 1960. By polling 63.6 per cent of the vote in Chicago,

he was able to carry the state by a margin of less than 9,000 votes. Daley’s majority Tuesday was only about 55 per cent. Republicans immediately greeted the Chicago vote as evidence of success in their campaign to cut down Democratic margins in big cities. GOP National Chairman William E. Miller called the Chicago vote a “moral victory” for the Republicans. He interpreted the result along with the Michigan vote Monday approving a new state constitution. Gov. George Romney’s GOP state administration supported the new constitution and Democratic leaders opposed it, although the issue was too blurred to be regarded as a direct test of party strength. “These two tests clearly show

a disintegration of tha Democratic machine rule of two of our great cities, which were so instrumental in giving John F. Kennedy the presidency in 1960,” Miller said. The Democrats already are beset with internal party quarrels and other problems in the pivotal states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, which all have Republican governors. If Daley is slipping, as Tuesdays vote indicated, Illinois will be viewed as another cause for worry. Os these five states, Kennedy carried all but Ohio in 1960.
