Go Home From Berlin
Allied OfficioIs PIeod With

Fear Arrest in East
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, June 2.-West Berlin
authorities pleaded with 270 blue
shirted Communist youths today
to return to their homes in the
Russian zone. They refused to go.
They came to Berlin for the
Whitsun march of 100000 Ger
man Communists, took one look at
the Western sectors and were con-
verted.
The orphans of the march, en-
camped in the British sector, told
city officials this afternoon they
(A) do not want to return to the
East and (B) they could not
safely go back now anyhow be-
cause of their disobedient flight
The West German authorities
were non-pulsed. They said only
about 10 per cent of the blue shirt
deserters can be classified, even
by stretching the imagination, as
"persecutees" and entitled to
haven in the West. A special COM
mission was appointed to examine
each case.
Worry Over Returning Home.
The Free German Youth de-
serters were plainly disappointed
and in some cases worried over
the prospect of returning home.
A 16-year-old boy from Halle
told a West German official:
You know very well that we
can't go back without being
arrested now for political un-
reliability.
A young woman teacher from
Thuringia declared:
Il will not go home. I have
decided to start a new life in the
West. I'll find a way. It is better
to risk something than knowingly
run into certain arrest"
All the campmates agreed that
West Berlin's full shops, cheap
bananas and oranges and tasty
cigarettes exceed all expectations.
Their camp took on a bobby sox
flavor.
A blond lad of II proudly dis
played a loud necktie, featuring
a jazz trumpeter. 1t contrasted
strangely with his faded shirt,
wornout shoes and sloppy pants.
Girls Adorn Blouses.
Two buxom girls adorned their
blue blouses with Americana made
handkerchiefs with red dots.
A 10-year-old boy asked:
Can you tell me whether it is
true that communism is to take
the place of imperialism every
where in the world within the
next two years?" He said that
is what he had been taught at
school.
Another one boaSted few
