Saturday, May 27, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Saturday, May 27, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Berlin traffic treaty unites split BERLIN (A') - East and West Germany took- a long stride toward normalized relations yes- terday, signing the first state treaty ever initiated by the di- vided Germans since they be- came rivals in the postwar era. Afterward the two chief nego- tiators strongly hinted t h e y would take up cessation of shoot- ings along the Berlin Wall and the minefields on the inner Ger- man dividing line in a next round of negotiations. West German State Secretary Egon Bahr and his East Germ- an counterpart Michael Kohl signed the first all-German trea- ty regulating traffic by road, rail and waterways inside the divided country. Attached to the treaty was a letter from East Germany prom- ising visiting rights to W e s t Germans. The letter said East Germany for the first time would allow its people to visit the West in emergency cases such as births, deaths and illnesses. East Germany also promised to give West German citizens 30 visiting days a year in the Com- munist state. There was speculation in East Berlin that East Germany want- ed West German guarantees against refugee flight as a con- dition for liberalized application of the promised freedom to visit. To halt defections, the Com- munists built the Berlin wall in 1961 and mined the East- West frontier with order to guards to shoot to kill. Kohl announced he and Bahr 1214 s. university CAAM P U Theatre Phoni_ 668-6416 WINNER OF 5 ACADEMY AWARDS INCLUDING "B-ST PICTURE" 20TH CENTURY FOX PRESENTS THE FRENCH CONNECTION IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF AMERICAN THRILLERS.

He emphasized that such a treaty would have to be on the basis of internation- al norms between equal and in- dependently sovereign partners. Bahr avoided giving direct re- cognition to East Germany in the traffic accord which takes ef- fect after confirmation by the two parliaments. The traffic treaty was the second pact Bahr and Kohl have completed. After -last year's four-power Berlin Accord by the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, they worked out the details on visits to East by West Berliners and eased ac- cess traffic controls by the East Germans. These take effect after a final four power signing in West Berlin June 3. Von Braun resi gns post WASHINGTON (P) - Dr. Wern- her von Braun, pioneer rocket expert, announced yesterday he is resigning from the U.S. space agency to join private industry. Starting July 1, von Braun will become a vice president for engineering at Fairchild Indus- tries, which is developing ad- vanced scientific satellites f o r launch in 1971 and 1975. He retiresfrom a desk job brainstorming space buses and moon cities for the National Aeronautics and Space Admin- istration, where his title is de- puty associate administrator for planning. The reasons for his departure aren't clear. He said in a brief printed statement that he wants to 'help implement some space projects I feel are of particular importance," but didn't say what they were. Von Braun, born 60 years ago in Wirsitz, Germany, is a giant in the history of military and peacetime rockets. Before his 33rd birthday he had developed the V2 rocket bomb for Hitler. At the end of World War II he evaded capture by the Soviet Union and came to the United States, where he be- came a citizen. In this country he built mili- tary rockets and later the Saturn DANDELIONS STAR IN THE KITCHEN Harried homeowners decided long ago that "it you can't beat 'em, eat'em!"

Searching for a rubber substitute during World War II, federal researchers experiment- ed with the milky sap found in the plant's stem, a type of latex. When the war ended, so did the experiments, with a final verdict that making rubber from dandelions was impractical. The dandelion's use as a food has a more successful history, according to Eric Nelson of Soy- bean Cellars, - a local organic food store.
