Moscow May Fire
Its East German Chief
BERLIN UP> — Officials and
commentators in West Berlin
speculated Thursday that Moscow
may soon fire its East German
puppet, Walter Ulbricht.
There was widespread belief
that East Germany’s spade
bearded chief of state would dis
appear from the scene in an effort
to make direct negotiations with
the East German regime more
palatable to the West.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
dealt Ulbricht a bitter blow in his
Kremlin speech Tuesday by
abandoning the Dec. 31 deadline
he had 9et for signing a peace
treaty with East Germany.
The peace treaty is the main
instrument for Khrushchev’s
threats against West Berlin. With
it the Soviet Union threatens to
turn over to the East German
Reds control of the Western al
lies’ access routes to West Berlin,
forcing them to negotiate with the
East Germans they have so far re
fused or fight their way through
if the East Germans try to block
their traffic.
“A peace treaty before the end
of the year” has been the keynote
of all East German propaganda
for months. It seemed almost as
though Ulbricht had staked his
career on it.
AF Reserves Can Apply

mer territories is being changed.
The Air Force said the regu
lation excluding Alaska and
Hawaii reservists was inadvert
ently continued in effect after
they became states.

Soviets Cancel Showing
Of Titov's Orbital Flight
BALTIMORE Uh—What would
have been the first public show
ing in the United States of Maj.
Gherman Titov's orbital flight
was canceled suddenly last night
by Russian Embassy officials.
Ten minutes before the movie
was scheduled to begin, Embassy
attache K. Novash rushed here
and picked up the film. He said '
only that it was “urgently need
ed in New York.”
The Russian Embassy earlier
had telephoned the Maryland
Academy of Sciences, which was
sponsoring the showing, and told
an official the movie was can
celed. The call came too late,
however, to stop a private view
ing of the film, which had just
been completed.
An Associated Press newsman,
who view last night’s private
showing, said the film included
scenes of the training of Titov
and others, and some views of
a rocket. The rocket’s full size
was not shown.
