The wall is

symbolic of Communist repression and an affront to human

dignity.

And, even in the midst of emotional reunions of long-sep-arated mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, it must be recalled that the Communists built the wall to suit their own purposes and opened it for this brief season for reasons of their own. Thus, the United States and even West Berlin newspapers have felt it necessary to warn West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt of the risks he runs in any new

WASHINGTON UPI — An American Communist party plot to exploit what is described as a “drift toward the left” among the nations youth as uncovered by the FBI in 1963. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover told of the Red youth scheme in his year-c n d report to Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, released Thursday. He also noted the FBI’s investigation < f the assassination of President Kennedy and of the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers in Mississippi. Hoover said that last October delegates of the Communist Party U.S.A. met in Chicago “to lay the groundwork for a new national youth organization aimed at exploitation of what the party describes as a “drift toward the left among young people.” He said the party's general secretary, Gus Hall, stipulated that the youth movement “should avoid the appearance of a Soviet-style organization; however, it should not tolerate antiSoviet or anti-Communist party thinking.” Pope Will Fly To Holy Land VATICAN CITY UPI — Pope Paul VI today devoted himself to prayer and preparations for his “journey of search and hope” to the Holy Land Satur-

day.

The 66-year-old pontiff, who began his reign little more than six months ago, will be making history in many ways on his three-day pilgrimage to the places Christ lived, in what is now Jordan and Israel. He will be the first Pope to visit the Holy Land and the firet to fly. He will be the first to leave Italy since 1812.

PRATTVILLE, Ala.

PHOENIX, Ariz. DPI — Sen. Barry Goldwater, under pressure from thousands of supporters of his conservative views, today announced he will seek the GOP nomination for the presidency in 1964. PHOENIX, Ariz. UPI — Sen. Barry Goldwater, popular figure of the conservative element, is scheduled to announce his political plans for 1964 today and there are strong indications he will become a Republican candidate for president. Goldwater, silent to d»te about any presidential aspirations, called a meeting of Arizona Republican leaders here at 11 a.m., MST 1 p.m., EST, and said he would disclose his decision regarding 1964. He chose as the setting for his announcement his $100,000 home in the exclusive Camel-back area on a hilltop overlooking the city of Phoenix. Even before the Arizona Republican announced his decision most conservatives looked on him as their main presidential hope— a man against “me-too-ism” with the Democratic party and a rugged individualist with a strong flavor and authentic background of the Old West. Wheat Sales To Russ Reported KANSAS CITY, Mo. UPI — The Soviet Union is reported to have purchased $30 million worth of U.S. surplus wheat in the first such sale since the late President Kennedy’s authorization last Oct-

ober.

Sources in the grain industry here said Thursday night that Continental Grain Corp. made the sale. Last week in Washington the Commerce Department issued two export licenses to Continental for sale of $40.6 million worth of wheat to Russia. At the time the licenses were issued officials said they were “hunting licenses” for use by Continental if needed, and did not necessarily mean that the sales had been concluded. Continental spokesmen would not immediately confirm the reported $30 million sale. If the reports on the transaction are correct, it would mean the first break in the long negotiations for sale of up to $275 million worth of wheat to Russia. Thelma Marcum Died On Friday Mrs. Thelma Lorene Marcum, 58, Greencastle R. 3, died at the Putnam County hospital early Friday morning. She was admitted to the hospital on December

JOHNSON CITY. Tex. UPI— A cut of $100 million in the postal deficit in fiscal 1965 and a reduction in Post Office Department personnel during the next six months was announced today by Postmaster General John A. Gronouski after a conference with President Johnson. Gronouski told reporters that the economies were ordered in compliance with presidential directives to keep government employment and spending to a minimum. The postal deficit in the current fiscal year ending June 30 is expected to run about $650 million and Gronouski, without giving a final budget figure for his department for fiscal 1965 said he expected the deficit to run about $550 million in the new fiscal year. Part of this deficit reduction, however, will depend on whether the Interstate Commerce Commission approves a Post Office Department request for a $77 million increase in parcel post rates. Damage Is Heavy In Two Accidents Considerable property damage but fortunately no serious injuries resulted in two traffic accidents Friday morning, city police reported. Four vehicles were involved in the first mishap at the intersection of Liberty and Indiana streets. Officer John Vermillion reported. He said Richard Lee Stout, Greencastle Route 2, was going north on Indiana in a 1955 Chevrolet sedan. Mrs. Jean Saunders, Greencastle Route 1, was going east on Liberty. Vermillion said she stopped for the stop sign and seeing no one pulled out in front of Stout. His car sidswiped the front end of the Saunders car. It then bounced off and hit a 1960 Chevrolet belonging to William Huff, Greencastle Route 4, which was parked at the curb. Huff's car hit a 1959 Studebaker pickup owned by James Gofer. Both the car and truck went up over the curb. Vermillion said the Stout and Huff cars were total losses. He estimated the damage to the Saunders auto at $700 and $50 to the truck. Young Stout was arrested for reckless driving. The second accident occurred at the intersection of West Walnut and Market streets. Vermillion said Thomas M. Collier, Martinsville Route 1, was backing south on Market across Walnut in a 1959 Chevrolet sedan. His car was hit broadside by a 1961 Ford sedan being driven east on Walnut by Leon Dunn,

city.

Damage was estimated at. between $400 and $500 to Dunn's car and $250 to the Collier automobile.
