Chancellor Adenauer's half Of
Germany that their Eastern
brothers will act illogically or
that the Communist regime will
turn on some new pressure which
will become the last straw to an
already angry populace.
Living conditions are some
what better in East Germany
than they were q year or two
ago. Stores have more goods
Though they are shoddy and ex-
pensive) and the people look a
little better. These added ma
terial things help keep the safety
value from blowing.
That doesn't mean people are
content. There is plenty they
don't like about life under COM
munism. Here are the main COM
plants voiced to Western in
vestigators. roughly in the order
Of importance;
Food. Wartime rationing con-
tinues in East Germany. And
what little food there Is is expen-
sive. Coffee costs four times what
1t does in West Berlin: oranges
four times: eggs double. Prices
can be compared directly. as
wages. expressed in East and
West marks are the same. Quail
Iity is more difficult to compare.
for despite the fact East German
food is more expensive. 1t is al
most always Of substantially low
er quality.
Housing. East Germany is five
to seven years behind West Ger
many in rebuilding. The Com
Imunists. IN fact. are just COM
Ipleting the rubble-clearing stage.
Clothing. People are somewhat
better dressed than a year ago,
but at a great price. Poor quality
mems shoes cost ga times as
much as a decent West Berlin
pair. 1t is still easy to spot an
East Berliner visiting the West
sector. He looks like a neatly
brushed tramp.
Working conditions. Workers
are paid a basic wage for fulfill
ing a norma certain quota
Of production. Most can over
fulfill and get a bonus. In
theory a worker can earn as
much as he is willing to work for.
But in fact, machinery break
downs frequently make it impos-
sible to meet the norm, and q
worker who tops the norm too
efficiently will find the norm
raised on him. There is a short
age Of skilled labor-so many
good men have fed to the West
so nothing runs very smoothly
in the East.
Liberty. The average East
German is too concerned with
hunger. cold and overwork to
protest loudly about his lost
liberty. It is only the intellect
uals and the students who seem
to worry about liberty.
Most Of the visible unrest In
East Germany is found in the
schools and universities. This is
one Of the most significant
aspects Of Communist lie. A
generation which has never
known freedom. which has
been carefully conditioned to

parts of Germany could easily
spill over into the Western area
and spark World War III. Both
Secretary Dulles and Chancellor
Adenauer have warned the East
Germans Of the danger Of a
revolt.
The experts here-the men
whose job it is to travel through
East Germany and quietly sound
out popular feeling-say there is
no present sign that an ex-
plosion is imminent. They say.
in fact, that there are several
good reasons why an attempted
revolt is out of the question.
But at the same time. these
experts point out that they have
been fooled before. One man,
just back from a swing through
the Communist zone. put it this
way:
I'VE were fooled by Hungary.
The elements Of revolt just
weren't there before it happened.
The same with Poland and with
Germany on June II. 1858.
There are several logical rea-
sons why the East Germans
won't revolt now. But people
aren't always logical and ra-
tional, SO we could be completely
wrong again"
Here are reasons there will be
no revolt in East Germany, as
explained by representatives Of
organizations continually prob
ing through this Berlin opening
lin the Iron Curtain:
First, Russia maintains "
crack divisions in East Germany,
a force stronger than all the
INATO armies combined and
strong enough certainly to put
down any attempted German
uprising-and the East Germans
know this.
Second, the lesson Of Hungary
shows Russia is ready to stop
any revolt with ruthless brutal
ity: while the West certainly win
not come in and help the revolu-
tionists.
Third. the 1883 uprising taught
the German people 1t doesn't
pay.
Fourth, Western leaders are
continually advising the East
Germans to be calm and patient.
Fifth, the East German Com
munist regime has become more
elastic and more skillful at
avoiding troubles in their zone.
These reasons should convince
the East Germans that they can
not and should not revolt. de-
spite their deep dislike Of the
Communist regime.
But there is still the fear in
