Western officials said the failure of Soviet planes to show up in the- airlines across Communist East Germany meant only a temporary respite in the harassment campaign. They said they had no reason to believe the Russians had called off attempts to restrict allied air traffic. Balked at Demand The rebels reportedly have balked at a French demand that the Europeans should be allowed dual nationality - Algerian na tionality in Algeria and French nationality in France. The accord would make Al geria, which France has gov erned for more than 140 years, an independent soverign. state - be fore the end of the year. With agreement near, new ten sions swept Algeria where the OAS has carried out a campaign of terror that has killed near 900 persons since Jan. 1. Strikes and violence were reported from Al geria Saturday. the back of the neck by someone who apparently stood on a wall outside the villa and aimed through the bedroom window. Police said she told them she picked up Stog ncr's revolver after she saw he was shot. She said she saw a man who fled when he spotted the gun in her hand. The two American detectives ar riving Saturday were sent here by the Criminal Investigation Divi sion from U. S. Army headquar ters in Europe. They came to question her and two Congolese being held, Stogncr's cook, Pierre Mgoyi, and his nightwatchman, Jacques Simba. ; The Congolese chauffeur of Em bassy Air Attache Col. Ben Mat lick was. released after-questioning. Ask mite MOUl : Six times in the past nine days the Russians have demanded that Western planes be barred from flying at altitudes below 7,500 feet during certain specified hours. The Russian representative at the four-power Air Safety Control Cen ter in Berlin demanded that the corridors be "reserved" for So viet military flights. The United States, Britain and France rejected the demand as a violation of four-power agreements and sent extra military flights through the 20-mile-wide corridors. Russian MIG jet fighters shadowed the western aircraft, both military and commercial, and performed acrobatics dangerously near them. Western officials said the Rus sians did not renew the demand to monopolize the corridors Saturday. But they noted that flying condi tions were bad there were heavy clouds and high winds over Germ any. Communist East Germans, meantime, claimed the western al lies had no rights under the four power agreements to fly over East German territory to Berlin. The attacks on the vital western air traffic which broke the back of the 1948-49 Soviet blockade of fierlin came in editorials in the East Berlin Berliner Zeitung and The Young World, publication of the Communist Youth Organiza tion. - The western powers do not rec ognize Communist East Germany as a sovereign state and have re fused any dealings with it. The attacks were centered on the flights by commercial air lines to West Berlin, 110 miles inside the Iron Curtain. The Communists contended that the four-power agreements made no provision for such traffic. On the ground, three East Germ an border police, in uniform and carrying their machine pistols, fled to West Berlin this morning. West Berlin police also reported that two youths swam to freedom across a border body of water and had to be treated in a West Berlin hospital for exhaustion. Paul S. Hubbard Is Awarded Grant Paul S.

Property damage in Britain, Holland and West Germ any ran into the millions of dol lars. - One death wras reported in East Germany. There was no report of casualties in Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. Snowstorms, rains, high tides, strong winds and avalanches pla gued other parts of Europe, from Finland in the north to Switzer land in the south. Landslides also killed 15 workers in northern Iran since Thursday. The storm, spawned in the North Atlantic off Scandinavia early Fri day, battered cities in Britain, smashed dikes in Holland, sent rivers over their banks and whip ped up abnormally high tides in the North and Baltic seas. West Germany officially listed 50 dead Britain 11, Donkarm 3, France 2, and Sweden 1.

Hamburg, a city of 2 million was hit hard, with Viz suburb of Wil- helmsburg completely isolated by flood waters.

Other helicopters rescued 600 marooned, freezing residents from rooftops in the isolated town of Papenburg. Others dropped milk and butter on Wangerooge Island, which lies off Bremerhav- en in the North Sea. Two Air Force planes flew sand bags from Cellette Wittmundshav en, while nine others carried 130, 000 sandbags from Frankfurt to Bremen.

The two youths arrested refused to give their names, police said. They were jailed on charges of disorderly conduct for refusing a policeman's order to keep moving a requirement for White House picketing. The army of college students grew to 4,700 at mid-afternoon, one of the leaders said, just be fore a closing rally. About 2,000 were said to be on the White House picket operation at about noon before it broke up. It was said to be the biggest picket demonstra tion there in at least nine years. The arrests marked the only in cident during the two days of dem onstrations by students advocating an end to all nuclear testing in the atmosphere both by the Unit ed States and Russia. A "policy statement" by the students, call ing themselves the council for a "Turn Toward Peace" TTP, also called for unilateral disarmament. Sen. John G. Tower, R-Tex., who was among House-members and Senators visited by student delega tions, said in a statement that the youths were "in reality fronting for powerful liberal and left wing organizations." A rival youth group which fav ors nuclear testing and stiffer cold war policies by the United States counter-picketed the demonstrators. Members of the conservative "Young Americans for Freedom" YAF carried such , signs as "A test today will keep" the Commies away." The student marchers encount ered a cold shoulder at many congressional and government of fices where they sought to put over their theme that the United States should begin disarming re gardless of what Russia does. A delegation headed by Peter Goldmark, a Harvard senior from New Canaan, Conn., gained an hour and a half audience Saturday with two top officials of the So viet Embassy. Goldmark describ ed the session as "extremely in teresting." A Soviet Embassy spokesman said later the students "were pret ty critical of both sides." He also said they asked if a visit to the Soviet Union could be arranged by a two-man delegation of their movement to talk with Rusian youths. Male Superiority To Be Discussed By Di-Phi Senate Are women inferior? That's what the Di-Phi will bo debating Tuesday night at 7:30 in Di Hall, third floor New West. The first meeting of the Spring semester will feature a resolution by Di Senator Curtis Gans, of Haywood County, stating that men are infinitely superior to women. "The truth of this resolution is self-evident," Di-Phi President Ar thur Hays commented, "but we'll debate it just for the fun of it any way." Gans, in his resolution, states that women arc only useful for decoration and reproduction, and that most of the decoration comes from drug stores and continued reproduction seriously threatens the economic future of civilization. "Men," Gans commented, "are even partly responsible for the only claim that women have to creativity." The Di-Phi, the oldest debating society in the country, has invited the public especially the female public to attend and participate in the debate. "We know women can talk." Gans said, "now we'll see if they can argue intelligently' .Bans o
