Most of East Berlin is in ruins
or Is run down through lack of
repair. The rest. the showy part,
is like a slice of Moscow rather
than Berlin.
The helpful Russians built a
double row of model apartments
in the best Soviet style along
Stalinallee and invited good
party members to live there.
The living is pretty good, all
right, but it only rubs in the
painful contrast between the
war-shattered homes of the av-
erage workers and the pleasant
apartments of the Communist
upper classes.
Actually, the feeling in East
Berlin is that of emptiness. Vast
square blocks have only rubble
piles to offer for a skyline. And
the streets seem weirdly empty
Of people and autos. There is
never a parking problem in East
Berlin.
Red Soldiers Sightseeing
There were no Russian SOL
dierS on the streets during the
week, but on a Sunday they
were brought in by the truck
load to sightsee. The mecca was
that tasteless Soviet memorial
to its war dead called the Gar
Gen of Remembrance. Flat
faced. stocky peasant lads
scrubbed. shined and shaved un-
til they were sore, wandered
past the statues and marbled
columns obviously fascinated by
the memorial to their older
brothers who had taken Berlin.
They were fascinated, too, by
the tourists from the decadent
West who thronged the Garden
on that Sunday.
The tourists had been told not
to snap pictures of the soldiers
(they're military installations, "
technically and the soldiers ap-
|parently had been told to ignore
the civilians. But both soldiers
and civilians played little game
with their ceAleras that gave
each a souvenir of the other.
The trick was to aim the cam
era at a statue-fair game for
both sides-and fiddle with the
lense setting until a person from
the other world walked into
view. Then the picture was
snapped, accidentally" preserv-
ing a picture of he enemy fol
the folks back home to see.
Twin Thoughts of a City
When walking through East
Berlin this reporter had two
thoughts:
cts a tragedy that a once
fine city, containing all the skills
and energy necessary for a new
life, should be held crushed to
the ground. an innocent victim
OF the cold war"
And. This is a police state.
IT ! do the wrong thing or fall
victim to some Red cops whim
I have no protecting mantle of
civil rights to wrap around me. :"
The Berliners are thinking of
these things, too. So they, like
the government workers in Bonn.
|are goaded continually to seek
|reunif1cation of Germany and
to end the nightmares imposed
on them

CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. July
ga wild black stallion who
has eluded capture for five years
in his adjoining AsSateague Is
land Stomping grounds, awaited
breaking today at the annual
Chincoteague pony penning and
auction here.
Black Magic is what the native
cowboys" dubbed the stallion
who has played hide and seek
with them since he was born
appearing and disappearing like
magic into the woods and marsh
areas of nearby Assateague. In
winter, they say his coat is JET
black. Yesterday, summer sun
had bleached him to a reddish
brown.
This year Black Magic's luck
ran out and when the once-a-
year wranglers herded Their
catch of wild ponies over the
channel separating Assateague
from this Eastern Shore island
the stallion was in the lead Of
the largest roundup in the ira
ditional events history. There
were more than 200 wild ponies
in the herd including stations
mares and a bumper crop OF
foals. Trailing Black Magic
closely was his own herd of eight
mares and a number Of colts and
FLIES.
The ponies swan the 8OO-yard
distance across the inlet to
Chincoteague in about Is min
uteS, setting another record of
almost twice the distance COW
cred in past years since the
landing point was moved this
year to another location.
Thousands of Spectators
1t made a thrilling sight for
thousands of spectators lining
the shore and inlet in boats as
even tiny foalS, some a Scant 3
weeks old, made the swim while
whinnying wildly and sticking
close to their mothers as bar
nacles to a boat hull. One touch
ing incident stealing the show
was the plight of a very young
colt that fell far behind the
others. The mother stuck with
him and when she began to fall
ter, the stallion swan back and
nudged her along from the rear
with his head. The little family
finally reached shore long after
the herd.
The wild pony swim each year
is a highpoint opening the ira
ditional penning and auction
sponsored by and for the Chin
colleague Volunteer Fire Depart
ment. Some Is cowboys, all
members of the department, ride
herd on the ponies. But while
their wrangler antics are called
for only once a year, the men
ride their own horses Western
style year-round.
Following the swim, the ponies
we're rested, then run through
the towns main street to the
corral on the fireman-sponsored
carnival grounds to await today's
sale. After the auction, where
they bring prices ranging from
SIS to 5000 or more, the fes-
tivities tomorrow will take on
the appearance of a frontier
rodeo with spectators and ma
tives alike vying for honors in
bareback pony riding and rae
ing.
10th Century Shipwreck
According to the story of the
ponies origin, their ancestors
were full sized horses that f1oun-
dered ashore in the 10th Century

since 1t was dug up In Fairfax
County 10 years ago. together
with two jars of jewels and
melted-down gold.
Five members of the royal
House of Hesse in Germany
brought the suit. They say the
$28. 900 came from sale of some
of the SIS million in jewels and
other valuables stolen from
Kronberg Castle in Germany in
1915 while it was occupied by
American troops.
Their claim is opposed by
Glenn v. Brumbaugh of Los
Angeles, a former Army cap
tain, who was defense counsel
for Col. Jack Durant and his
wife, WAC Capt. Kathleen Nash
Durant. The Durants were tried
and convicted of stealing the
jewels and served prison terms.
They are now living in Santa
Monica, Calf. He works as an
accountant. She works for a
swimming club.
Pay for Legal Services
According to Mr.. Brumbaugh,
Col. Durant assigned the money
to him as payment for legal
services beyond customary rep
reSentation at the colonel's
court-martial.
A deposition by Prince Wolf
gang of Hesse, read to the court
yesterday, charged that much of
the stolen loot is still missing
The Army previously had re-
ported that most of the stolen
valuables were recovered and re-
turned to the Hesse family. Two
big Army safes were required to
hold all the jewels, gold and
silver sent back to Germany in
1851.
! The deposition of Mrs. Durant
offered yesterday said she had
come by precious stones by vari-
ous methods" while she was at
Kronberg Castle. She added:
