UNIVERSITY PARK PENNSYLVANIA Reopen Route To Hamburg, Senator Says WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans- 1 field of Montana proposed yester- i day the West demand reopening' of an access route from Hamburg as part of any agreement on Ber lin. Mansfield, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit-1 tee, said in an interview this is one of the "positive" actions the free world can take to keep negotiations with the Soviet Union on a give-and-take basis. Mansfield noted that the access route from Hamburg to Berlin had been open until 1957, iwhen the Soviet Union transferred control of it to the East Germans. Rather than get clearance from the East Germans, the Allies ceased to use the route and sent their surface traffic over the autobahn from Helsmedt to Berlin. Mansfield said Soviet control ov er the Hamburg route should be restored. He made it clear he was making the proposal for himself and not the Kennedy administration. He said he was searching for ways to counter the Soviet Union at the bargaining table, just as he had when he proposed last June the creation of a free city. thA "Animal Issue" IT'S DIFFERENT GET YOURS ( African to Attempt (To Receive Award ' JOHANNESBURG, South Af rica (AP) Albert John Luthuli, winner of a Nobel Peace Prize for his fight against South Africa's white supremacy policies, said yesterday he will seek permis sion to go to Europe to receive the award.
