West Berlin
Has Heart Biz
AS Troubles
BY RICHARD K. oMALLEY

BERLIN R West Berlin is
city with heart as big as its
troubles.
It has been scared in hot war,
chilled and immobilized in the cold
war. But its people know only one
creed when trouble strikes: Keep
your chin up and help.
Thousands upon thousands of
East German refugees know that
now.
It may have been only days ago
that some of these refugees were
part of an anti-West demonstra-
ton in East Berlin, performing
dance of hate for their Russian
bosses. Today they are fed, housed
and advised by the West Berliners,
who know hardship well.
The East German Communists
warn refugees that they are being
lured to the West $50 that your
misery will be increased" Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
The Lorenz refugee camp in West
Berlin is good case in point
Lorenz had one of its biggest
plants in Berlin during the war. IT
manufactured electrical equipment
and still does.
The big complex of Lorenz build
ings in West Berlin was battered
by war, and up to a short time
ago. was mostly empty. Then the
Communists stepped up their ter.
ror campaign and East Germans
began streaming west. In January
alone. more than 5000 sought
safety in the Nest sectors Of
Berlin.
There are 1900 Of them living
in the Lorenz camp.
Compared TO many refugee
camps in West Germany. the
Lorenz complex is excellent. Ref

BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK Qa - The thorny
problem OF boosting our trade with
the rest of the world-without at
the same time hurting American
industry and labor-appears due
for an early go-round in Congress.
There'll probably be quite a
fight. They're choosing up sides,
as recent developments show:
l.. The President and congress
sional leaders confer on the ex-
tension Of the reciprocal trade
agreements act, due to expire in
June. This law gives the President
the power to cut U. S. tariffs with
in certain limits. 1t is roundly op-
posed by number of American
business groups.
2. Several other business groups
are stepping up their drives to
get the law exteaded--and give
the President more power to cut
levies.
3. Canada protests against some
curbs we place against importa-
ton of her products,
4. A United Nation study group
gets into the act with some free
advice to Latin America and Eu-
rope--suggesting they trade more
with each other, and less with the
United States. The U. N. report
says ''over-importation" Of U. S.
goods keeps other countries in fl
nancial hot water.
The drive to spur world trade
is two-pronged.
First, the argument Is that If
other nations could sell more of
their goods here, they wouldn't be
asking for so much direct aid from
U. S. taxpayers.
Second. if they sell more here,
they'll have more dollars to buy
the products of U. S. farms and
factories--and our exports from
both sources have been slipping
in recent months because our over
seas customers say they are out
of cash.
Two measures are likely TO be
pushed in Congress. One of the ex-
, tension Of the reciprocal trade
treaties--we lower our tariffs in
return for concessions made by
other nations.
The chief fight here win be over
the escape clauses in the law.
These permit an American indus
try to ask for higher tariffs if
foreign competition threatens its
survival.
! An example Of that: American
makers Of briar pipes are asking
for more protection tslthough tar
ifs on these pipes now range as
high as 70 per cent?. Americans
| say cheap labor abroad means
these foreign pipes can underseli
them, despite present high levies
Some business groups such as
the United State Council Of the
international Chamber Of Com
/ meree, headed by Warren Lee
/ PierSou. board chairman OF Trans
/ World Airiines-oppose retention Of
escape clauses. Pierson says they
often discourage foreign business.

found he spoke English. He
was the movie type of pilot all

We first thought we came
down in Leningrad but we didn't.
We flew right over it. It was
still soupy and we couldn't see

That depends on what Vet

decide after you have applied
for higher compensation and

From B. r. of Stamford,

that I was treated for in service
has been giving me a lot of
trouble. It never has been bad
enough to make me want to ask
the eVtS' Administration to ex-

be examined. How do I go about
making arrangements for this?"
Go or write to the nearest VA
