_7-TUXE MICHIGAN DAILY Soviets Let Convoy Pass; Koreans To Hold Crucial Election jA UT OBAIN Troops Reach. Berlin STOPPAGE: As See No Setback in Relations WASHINGT~ON tom)-The ad-v ministration yesterday blamed the Berlin blockade on a "genuine" Russian misunderstanding and saw no permanent setback to the widening thaw in the cold war. President John F. Kennedy got word at 7:15 a.m. (EDT) that the Russians had cleared the Berlin- bound United States military con- voy after a 48-hour delay. This ended an anxious Wash- ington vigil and feverish high level diplomatic activity aimed at preventing a local incident from flaring into a full-blown East- West crisis. Quiet Weekend In sharp contrast to previous tenseness, Kennedy joked at a White House Columbus Day cere- mony and took off for a quiet weekend at Camp David, Md. Secretary of State Dean Rusk flew to Cincinnati for a speech favoring relaxation of the cold war but warning that real peace cannot come without settlement of the long standing "important and dangerous" German-Berlin is- sue. High administration sources said the /convoy incident was touched off by misunderstanding of low- I , Becomes' New President Of Argentina BUENOS AIRES (AP)-Arthur U. Illia took over as Argentina's 29th president yesterday, promising a dramatic effort to regain the pros- perity, prestige and national peace lost in nearly a decade of political turmoil. In a heavily applauded inaugural address to congress, the 63-year- old physician promised Argentines more jobs and sounder money. He said his administration would use the United States- supported Alliance for Progress as the basis for development. But he said Argentina reserves the right to carry on an independent for- eign policy. Illia reiterated he would seek to nullify contracts with American and other foreign oil companies on the ground they were illegally signed by the government of Presi- dent Arturo Frondizi in 1958. In a show of support, the na- tion's military leaders were at Illia's side as he came to the national oongress for the swearing- in ceremony. level Russian officers at the So- viet-controlled check points at the entry to and exit from the 110- mile highway from West Germany across Communist East Germany to West Berlin. Not Customary The Russians apparently thought the 18-vehicle United States con- voy carrying 61 men and supplies was varying from customary pro- cedures. The United States, for its part, has kept its exact opera- tional procedures on the Berlin route a secret because the West maintains it should have no inter- ference with access to Berlin. Administration sources drew these conclusions from the affair; 1) There was no evidence that the Kremlin had reversed its pol- icy of seeking further East-West accords and deliberately instigated the Berlin harassment. Embarrassment 2) The Soviet military, particu- larly at the Berlin level, may suf- fer some embarrassment from the outcome but it is firmly controlled by the political leadership in Mos- cow. 3) Both sides showed a strong determination not to yield on the Berlin question. 4) The United States did not back down on its Berlin rights. United States authorities said it is all right for Soviet guards to check convoys to make sure that no impostors are riding along, but the United States made clear in its talks with the Russians that it stillreserves the right to de- termine its checking procedure. Basically Difficult 5) The Berlin dispute is still basically difficult and dangerous and a small incident could quickly mushroom into a crisis blotting out the laborious gains in East- West relations over the past few months. 6) The improved state of Wash- ington-Moscow dealings generally helped in this case because the two sides were able to talk it out in a reasonable atmosphere instead of shouting propaganda attacks at each other as in the past. Communications were carried out through normal diplomatic channels and were fast. There was no use of the special White House- Kremlin "hot line" set up last month for an emergency threaten- Ing outbreak of war.t On Tour Just what role Soviet Premier Khrushchev played is not known. He is reported to have been tour- ing the Russian countryside dur- ing the past two weeks and has not been seen in Moscow. Kennedy administration author- ities seemed anxious not to por- tray the result of the Berlin, in- cident as a backdown by the Russians in the face of a United States show of force. They said the diplomatic con- versations found the Soviets dis- posed toward an understanding attitude and the United States, for its part, did not try to inject political issues, such as threaten- ing cancellation of the United States-Soviet wheat deal. Instead the United States representatives stuck primarily to their version of the facts of the convoy stop- page. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko was said to have pro- fessed unawareness of the inci- dent when he was in Washington Thursday. United States authorities said the practice of GI's dismounting began in 1961 when a United States commander, who apparent- ly had not followed his instruc- tions too carefully, had told the GI's in his convoy to get out to be counted in order to save time. His convoy had been running be- hind schedule, darkness was fall- ing and he wanted to minimize delay at the Russian checkpoint, it was stated. Go Against Regulation Of Russians Blockade on Highway Ends in Two Days BERLIN (R) - Standing firm against mounting. tension, the United States forced the Soviet Union to back down yesterday and lift its blockade of an American army convoy moving into West Berlin.I Touching one of the more sen- sitive nerves in the cold war, the Russians imposed their blockade at 9 a.m. Thursday and held it until shortly after noon yesterday. Sixty-one American soldiers and their 18 vehicles rolled trium- phantly into this divided city. Troop morale was reported 'high. At one point, their commander said, they attempted to go through the blockade but were stopped when the Russians wheeled armor- ed cars across their path at the Babelsberg checkpoint, 1.5 miles from Berlin. Same Cars It was these same armored cars the Russians later withdrew. A second United States convoy of 144 men and 25 vehicles struck out 24 minutes later in the oppo- site direction on the 110-mile trip over the autobahn through Communist East Germany to West Germany. These troops were sent to Babelsberg yesterday to sup- port the incoming convoy. The Army announced they reached their destination without diffi- culty. In stopping the Berlin-bound convoy, the Russians demanded that the men dismount and be counted. This is a Soviet regula- tion which is applied to' small con- voys. Unilateral Act The West does not recognize the regulation and calls it a uni- lateral act unacceptable to the United States, Britain and France, who with the Russians occupy Berlin. "The soldiers did not dismount from their vehicles for a head- count by the Russians," a United States Army announcement said after the convoy pulled into their barracks in West Berlin. By CONRAD FINK Associated Press Staff Writer SEOUL-South Koreans vote Tuesday in one of the most crucial presidential elections in this na- tion's history. Democracy vs. authoritarianism is the issue. Seeking a popular mandate to continue his stern military rule is Chung Hee Park, a 46-year-old former general who scorns west- ern-style democracy and any "low posture" toward the United States. His strongest opponent is the Civil Rule Party's 67-year-old Yun Po-Sun, a former president and wealthy descendant of Korean no- bility who pledges Democratic rule and efforts toward closer ties with America. Behind the Scenes Watching closely are military officers who helped Park stage a coup May 16, 1961, destroying the only truly democratic government South Korea ever had. Voters go to the polls knowing these officers vowed to never again let civilian candidates rule. There is fear the ballot box decision could be canceled once more by the rumble of tanks in the streets. The United States, protector and financial patron of the nation, has a huge stake in the outcome. Foreign Aid More than $5.4 billion in eco- nomic and military aid has been pumped in since 1945, and 20,617 American dead and 103,284 wound- ed in the Korean War can be added to the cost. The State Department has crit- icized Park as repressive of his opponents but has not publicly backed any candidate. Many high - ranking officers among the 50,000 American troops stationed here express private sup- port of Park, arguing only he can defend the country against Com- munist North Korea. Confidence Despite surprising opposition strength, Park appeared confident the voters will give him more than the presidency. Close aides picture him as expecting an overwhelming vote that will constitute a blank check to map the nation's future. By his own definition, Park is a soldier and not a deep thinker. He has set forth three distant goals in his writings, speeches and in the actions of his military re- gime: 1) A political system with strong power vested in a single leader, in the. "guided democracy" style of Presidents Sukarno of Indo- nesia and Gamal Abdal Nasser of the United Arab Republic. 2) .State control of industry and business with emphasis on a crash program of industrialization. 3) Greatly reduced dependence on the United States and, hope- fully, eventual "third force" status for Korea in the East-West con- flict. Park charges past civilian gov- ernments with corruption and in- efficiency. He says he toppled the government of John M. Chang be- cause it could not control pro- Communist agitators. Two Regimes Yun was president under Chang and stayed in office 10 months after the coup. He was stripped of all power and finally quit after a quarrel with Park. Park does not deny opposition charges that he runs a police re- gime. Secret police are everywhere and he smilingly takes fascist- style salutes from school children who march by him with right arms extended. But, Park says, firm leadership is needed to save the nation from ruin. "We must follow principles more stable than those of a mere de- mocracy," he wrote recently. "We know all too well that Western- style democracy cannot be intro- duced to Korean society." Literacy Rate An estimated three million of the nearly 13 million eligible voters are literate enough to follow such ideological arguments-if they want to, which many don't. Yun, therefore, based his cam- paign primarily on two charges that arouse emotion in the poorest thatched roof cottage-that Park is a former Communist and that he is responsible for an economic crisis that raised consumer prices more than 60 per cent in a year. Park himself has not answered the charges of one time leaning to the Communist, although his supporters have denied them. Opponents Withdrawn One outspoken opponent, for- mer Premier Yo-Chan Song, was jailed on charges of slandering the government and executing three army subordinates 13'years ago. Song later withdrew from the presidential race to support Yun, as did another hopeful, ex-premier Huh Chung. When Yun's growing strength became apparent, he was warned publicly by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency that he was under investigation, on charges never specified. Park warned that those accusing him of being a Communist would be "strictly pun- ished" after the election. Park's own party, meanwhile, was doing well-financed spade- work in rural districts. His strength there is based on the fact that for the first time in recent memory government-supplied chemical fertilizer consistently has arrived on time for rice planting.

It's one of the few garments equally acceptable for casual or campus dress up affairs. As such, it needs the special atten- tion to details necessary to give your garment a completely correct look for campus wear. At Greene's, you can be sure 3-button jackets are properly rolled to the third button .. . (we even have a special retainer to hold the lapels in place.) Sleeves are always rolled. Tweeds and flannels all get an extra soft press to retain their natural texture. Of course, neces- sary minor repairing is done on all garments. Greene's customers expect and get these extras.
