Berlin Bubble Makes
Ersatz Mountains

BERLIN P) - Berlin, which
is built on sandy plain, as flat as
pancake, will have it's hills as
fast as Germans can pile up the
rubbish from it's bomb ruins.
In planning the Berlin of the fu-
ture, park planners have decided
that the city can best be cleared by
making mountains" of the derhis
and then planting them with grass,
trees and bushes. The huge Nazi-
built anti-aircraft towers scattered
throughout Berlin which are being
blasted to destroy their war poten-
tional will serve as a base for many
of the hills.
