Had he been caught In such forbidden for-bidden territory he would have been held as spy and perhaps executed. The congressman said he was escorted es-corted on the trip by a Russian officer of-ficer he had befriended while they were doing liaison work during World War II. Chatham told this startling story: He recognized the Russian. In civilian clothes, In a west-Berlin night club. "He threw his arms around me and we had a iood trlk. He asked if I would like to take a trip with him and I accepted'- Barked Way Through The next day the Russian took Chatham to the ' Soviet sector of Berlin, put on the uniform of a senior Red arny officer and took Jeep from the Russian motor pool. He barked his way through half a dozert check points, explaining his companion was a friend from one of the east European satellite countries. At an airfield completed only six weeks before, Chatham said he saw new Jet planes with swept back wings that looked to him as sleek and fast as the latest American types. - At another base there were about 20 tanks built lower than anything he had seen while In combat In both world wars about three feet high but armed with long guns. Chatham speculated that the tanks might be almost Immune to ordinary fire from weapons that could not lower their muzzles enough to aim at the low tanks. The drivers, ht conjectured, probably tie prone to operate the tanks. Russians Lse Faee Chatham said bis Russian friend gave him three personal opinions: 1. The Soviets have lost face In Asia over the Korean war. 3. The Kremlin drive to bring about Polish-east German friendship friend-ship under Communist rule has failed so far. 3. "Every one legged German would carry a gun against us (the Russians) now."

Age ef Metal .About 6,000 years ago, a band of adventurous Egyptians noticed a red-gold stream flowing from the rocks under their campfires in the Sinai desert.

King's Ghost Hovirs Ovtr ; Los Anftles Parking Plan LOS ANGELES, Calif.-The city of Los Angeles is having trouble because be-cause of a forgotten Spanish king. The city wants to build a 1,650-csr 1,650-csr garage beneath mldtown Pershing Persh-ing square. But the Spanish king when he deeded the land to the village vil-lage of Lot Angeles specified it was for perpetual use as a spot for siestas and for nothing else. No one challenged its exclusive use as f park until 1806 when the city decided to build a library and office building there. But property owner J. H. Spires dragged the Spanish monarch's skeleton into court and spiked the move. His majesty had said noting not-ing about a library-office building on the block square park. Spires contended successfully. The matter rested until 1947 when voters passed a city charter amendment amend-ment later, approved by the state legislature which said the area un- jder the square could be used for any suitable purpose that did not "breach the original conditions" or decreased benefits and enjoyment " taHthe public? " But city attorney Bourke Jones said this attempt to undercut the king's commands might not stand up under a nuisance suit. "Fortunately, about the only persons per-sons who might object are tree lovers, lov-ers, and their case would be a shaky one. The subterranean parking lot would change the face of the park venrTitUe."
