Flier Held As Pawn In Berlin Tug Of War

The Allies refuse to negotiate with East Germany while Khrushchev suggests reopening talks on German unification. Mackin, 27, bailed out after fuel loss and was detained two days before admission of his capture.

Pioneer’s Return May Add Data From Space Mission

It should fall to earth about 3 p m Sunday, returning through a different magnetic field region to yield data. Director William Pickering notes angle and speed issues may reflect one or two errors, but valuable radiation data is expected if tracking stations operate well.
