Police Fight Tommy-Gun
Duel Over Refugee
BERLIN (AP)—East and West Berlin police fought a tommy-gun duel
across the Spandau Canal in midtown Berlin Sunday over a refugee
trying to escape to the West.   The refugee was fatally wounded.
Gunfire from the East Berlin police felled the refugee before he
could get through the barbed wire on the east bank of the canal and
be was carried away by Communiil border guards.
The East German interior ministry announced later he died in a
hospital.
It was the second gun duel in fiv.=> days. An East German border
guard was killed and another wounded Wednesday in an exchange
of fire with West Berlin police who were protecting a 15-year-old
boy swimming to freedom. The boy, badly wounded, made it to the
West side.

Punch

LONDON (Reuters) - A
hook • nosed, hump-backed,
bendy-eyed villain celebrated
his 300th birthday in Britain
during the weekend by
screaming and shouting, beating his wife, murdering his
child and outwitting his captors as he has done all his
life.
He is the immortal Punch,
beloved hero of the Punch
and Judy puppet shows which
have delighted children
throughout Britain and Europe for generations.
This weekend was the 300th
anniversary   of   his   first  recorded   appearance   in   Britain, when Samuel Pc'pys, famous   17th • century   British

Franco Blames Strikes
On Communists And
R. C Priests
By HAROLD K. MILKS
MADRID (AP) - Gen. Fran-
cisco Franco laid part of the
blame on Roman Catholic priests
Sunday for strikes and political
unrest in northern Spain.
But he charged that the Soviet Union is the real culprit
with a spending campaign of
"hundreds ot millions" for propaganda, intrigue' and agents in
Spain.
"We are the country in which,
and only through our own effort, communism was defeated,"
Franco told 12,000 Spanish Civil
War veterans. "And thus, if we|
don't want to lose' such glory,
we must resign ourselves to remain being the target of ils attacks." v     \
As for the p-iests. Franco
said. they, seem to ignore that
in Spain the church and slate
l-rnarch together. They are well
aware of their obligations and
duties, he said.
ENEMIES PROMT
Enemies of Spain profited
from the labor lioubles, Franco |
"", "because of the excesses
some    Basque-   separatist
priests or clerical mistakes of|
some hotheaded priests."
He did not explain what lie]
meant by separatist priests
clerical mistakes.
He said, however, the attitude!
of such priests d d not alter the!
fundamental harmony between
the church and state.
There was a possibility Franco
had in mind priests who had expressed opposition to his regime
and supported the northern
Basque region claims to independence.
Franco's attack on the priests
come after he s reported to1
have summoned Enrique Cardinal Play Deniel primate of
Spain, to his palace last Friday
and told him some priests were
speaking on political matters.

time.
FLOODGATES CI OSED
The flow was choked off suddenly Friday, and it appeared,
clear Communis guards had I
once again scaled off most of'
thc escape routes. Hong Kong
authorities seemed certain the
exodus had ended. Apparently
they or officials in London had
received an answer to the formal British request to Peking
earlier in the week to halt the
flow.
New Trial Looms
For Raoul Satan
PARIS (AP)- The French
lovernment Sunday abolished
the special high tribunal that
angered President dc Gaulle by
letting off Secret Army Chief
Raoul Salan with a life sentence.   ' j
The decision may clear the
way for another trial of the
much-decorated former general
in a regular court on new
charges arising s nee his arrest,
Created by de Gaulle himself
to deal with such cases as the
one against Salan, the special
tribunal had been expected to
hand him a death sentence as
it had his top Secret Army
lieutenant, former Gen. Ed-
mond Jouhaud.
But in a decision that shook
the government, the tribunal of
three high magis rates, two gen-
erals, two admirals and two
civilions, ruled Wednesday it
had found extenuating circumstances. •
SMUGGLED INSTRUCTIONS
French officials said Saturday
there is evidence that Salan
smuggled new instructions to

cell after his arrest. 1
