They said West Berlin police shot across the wall only after they had been attacked by sev- eral East German _ border guards. The attack followed a success- ful escape of two guards over the wall' and police here said the East Germans may have been pretending they were shooting at their fleeing col- leagues to avoid punishment for not having noticed the escape.

'Tt is worth hoping that the policy is all that gets buried," said the Canadian-born Gal- braith, an adviser to the late president John F. Kennedy and "I don't think I've been in such good health in my life," Mr. Pearson said. "In fact my _ conscience bothered me during the winter when some of my colleagues had the flu and I had no dif- ficulties at all." He would like to trim his weight to about 165 pounds from his present 175 but doubts he'll make it. He envies his wife, Maryon, who enjoys salads. With his taste for candies and pies, he finds dieting "too much of a gastronomical sacrifice." The irregular hours of his job have forced him to give up team sports. "If-I made a date for golf, O'Hagan (special assistant Richard O'Hagan) would tele- NGS LULU gt phone with something that needs to be done." But at Harrington Lake--the official summer home in the nearby Gatineau Hills provided for prime ministers--he enjoys tramping in the bush, fishing and reading. "And I have the life-saving ability for complete relaxation." Even at his Sussex Drive res- idence or at the cottage, about two-thirds of his reading time is occupied with government Papers, memoranda or eco- nomic reports. During the re- maining third he is an avid reader of military history-- especially the First World War --and shares with Opposition Airliner | Leader Diefenbaker a keenness for political biography. During trips out of the cap- ital he takes along paperback novels, He has read most of the James Bond books. He relaxes with television and the Satur- day night hockey games are a regular event. He said his most 'emotionally satisfying" experience as prime minister was adoption of the Canadian flag, the maple leaf. "When I'm abroad, I feel proud whenever I see it." He said he disagrees with those who say the British North America Act should be scrapped in favor of a completely new constitution. We should build on what we have."

'TWO CLERICS ASKED TO JOIN PLAYBOY CLUB, WRITE TIMES LONDON (AP)--Two high Anglican clerics disclosed in letters to the London Times Friday they had been invited to become members of Lon- don's Playboy Club. Lord Fisher of Lambeth, formerly Archbishop of Can- terbury, got an invitation by mail to apply for 'a charter membership." He retired as primate of the Church of Eng- land in 1961 and will be 79 next month. Rt. Rev. Frederick Cockin, April 9 "I wrote on the same day asking the promoters what positive service to the national economy the club would render and whether it would not attract members of its staff away from more pro- ductive forms of national service."

Dr. DeBakey said the device, part of which is imbedded in the 'patient's chest, should lead to developments aimed at in- creasing the heart span of hun- dreds of thousands of heart pa- tients. Two six-inch tubes, about an inch in diameter, were attached to the patient's heart to provide a by-pass of the left ventricle. The dome-topped pump, at- tached to the tubes, will permit the ventricle to rest or "'re- cuperate"' sufficiently to take over its usual job of doing most of the heart's pumping work. Dr. DeBakey hopes the pump will have done its work within a week or 10 days. Then jit will be removed without major sur- gery. Mrs. DeRudder said she had not known her husband had been operated on until report- ers told her.
