West Berlin
Levels Fence
In Gas Battle

BERLIN. Nov. 6 (AP).-WeSt
Berlin police successfully de-
Tended workmen ripping down
300 yards Of wire fence in a
tear gas battle today with
border guards of Communist
East Germany.
About $50 tear gas grenades
were thrown, but nobody was
reported hurt. The West Ber-
liners succeeded in removing
most of the fence, which was
about a yard inside the French
sector of West Berlin.
The fence had been put up
by the Communists long before
the August 13 closing of the
border to separate a railway
track in East Berlin from an
elevated track in West Berlin.
1t was later reinforced by an
other fence, entirely on the
East Berlin side. Recently. ac-
cording to West police, a refu-
gee was caught between the
two fences and hauled back to
East Berlin.
-Four West Berlin workmen
went this morning to take
down the fence on West Berlin
territory. With them went IL
West Berlin alert police and a
French Army officer.
Safety Catches Slip
Border guards on the Com
munist side ordered the West
Berlin workmen back. They
refused. Both sides slipped the
safety catches on their sub
machine guns, but there was
no firing.
/ The East Berliners began the
tear gas tossing, the Western
police said. Each side hurled
about an equal number.
The Eastern grenades have a
small explosive charge to pre-
vent them from being picked
up and thrown back. West
Berlin police said only about
one in four Of these actually
worked.
Romance Overcomes Bullets
East German police fired at
least four times on refugees
over the week end, West Berlin
police said, but II got through
anyway and there was no re-
port Of anyone being hit.
A West Berliner drove his
car through a hail Of bullets to
rescue his 17-year-old sweet
heart from Communist East
Germany.
He picked the girl up by pre-
arrangement on the Commu-
nist-controlled autobahn link
ing West Berlin with West
Germany and secreted her un-
der a dummy rear seat he had
built Of plywood. Halted by East
German police for a search of
the car at the Berlin check
point, he stepped on the gas
and crashed through the bar
rier at so miles an hour, The
rear window was smashed and
six bullets pierced the car, but
the couple reached safety un-
scathed.
West German authorities re-
ported that 5,366 refugees were
registered in camp during Oc-
tober. Most of them were peo-
pie already in the West when
the Communists closed the
border nearly three months
ago.

SHELTER
Continued From First Par


pare shelter before the fallout
arrived?
Forty eight hours after
radioactive fallout comes down,
it is only l per cent as hot"
or dangerous as when it fell?
Fallout is one of the big
gest potential killers in nu-
clear weapons?
BY this fallout, don't mean
the relatively small amount
coming from high air bursts of
nuclear tests. I mean the thou
sands of tons of radioactive
dirt and materials vaporized
and made radioactive by a
great burst near or on the
ground.
This fallout behaves like or
dinary dust, except it is hot"
There are ways to clean up.
brush or wash away this radio
active dust.
Know How Needed
You could build a $4,000
shelter, and yet allow fallout
to get in unless you knew
what you were doing.
Fallout will not mean the
end of all life on earth, even
if hundred of bombs we're ex-
ploded.
,All these facts,s They and.
other facts answer ''Yes" to
the many questions people are
asking, which all add up to
this; ss & .#
rs there really anything we
can do?'
II cannot tell you. there is
a simple, cheap way to protect
yourself If you are in.the very
center Of a target when it re-
lceives a direct hit NJ =.
But millions of us will not
be there.
And many thousands near
the center of destruction could
survive, with knowledge and
protection.
Your First Move
First. let us assume you are
caught in the most defenseless
position out in the open, with
no warning an attack is COM
ing.
The first sign is a tremen-
douS light, thousands of times
brighter than the sun or a
flash of lightning. There's no
mistaking what it is.
If you sense it, don't look at
it. 1t could blind you.
Throw yourself instantly to
the ground, and preferably be-
hind some protection. such as
building, the curb of a street,
a culvert. even a tree, anything
to put protection between you
and that flash. Lie as flat as
you can.
With the light, the first eff
feet is prompt or instant radi-
alton from the nuclear burst.
1t is X-rays and neutrons fly-
ing out in straight lines in all
directions from the burst. This
is NOT fallout. The X-rayS
and gamma rays travel about
1000 yards at most then dis
appear.
With this radiation, at the
same speed, comes heat. The
heat from a 20 megaton bomb
might cause second degree
burns at a distance of up to
Is miles. unless you were pro-
tected.
Mere Hole May Help
A hole in the ground could
save you from much or all
harm from the radiation and
heat. Thousands of Japanese
would have survived had they
known this in time.
Then. travelling at the speed
of sound, comes the blast eff
feet, made all the worse be-
cause it picks up all kinds of
objects and hurls them about
like missiles.
Hiding. making yourself
small, increases chances of sur
vival. The chances improve
the farther you happen to be
from the bomb center.
Survive this, and you have
probably an hour before fall
out arrives.
Why? Because it consists of
the nuclear ashes or Goals from
the burst, and sucked-up ma
terial. And it shoots up to 20
to 25 miles high. and has all
that distance to fall back to
earth.
