Ingenuity Grows

Ingenuity has grown with it
Many have smashed their way
to freedom in comandeered
trucks, often under the hail of
East German bullets. Twenty
two daring types chugged
across the border into the
British sector in a stolen
armored train. Others have
turned up hiding in trucks OF
buried in coal in freightcars
and breathing through snorkel

Some have tried subtler
methods.

BERLIN
Border Guards Fiqht
Big Tear Gas Battle

The crowd hurled insults at
four Soviet staff cars driving to
FriedrichstraSse to cross into
East Berlin. The cars were
spat on. Men shouted pigs
and unprintable expressions al
the Russians.
Officials had wanted a silent
demonstration, but motorists
followed the suggestion of West
Berlin newspapers which told
them to sound their horns.
Wreaths Are Placed
In a broadcast carried by all
radio stations Mayor Willy
Brandt said: I'm this minute

Wreaths were placed along
the wall in memory of at least
81 people who have died on il
during its year Of existence.
One East German guard or
the wall marked the day BY
jumping across the barricade
to asylum in West Berlin.
About 1000 West Berliners
gathered along the wall neal
FriedrichstraSse, the crossing
point for foreigners. But police
kept them out of the last
stretch of street leading to the
United States Army's Check
point Charlie.

A People Divided

And so the wall that divides
Berlin is something more than
just a physical boundary be-
tween two political systems. 1t
is also something that divides
q people who think alike even
though they may not live
alike-parents from children.
wives from husbands, friends
from friends. Which explains
the uglineSs Of the gray con-
crete slabs cutting across the
heart of the city. And the
bitter hatred toward the men
who put them there. And yet
to an outsider, at least, the wall
at the start of its second year
Of existence is a thing that can
be viewed dispaSsionately as a
fact of life in Berlin and a
problem that cuts both ways.
To an American Army patrol
making a routine inspection in
the park area of Kleingarten,
it is simply part Of the days
work. Here the wall runs along
the far bank of the Tetlow
barge canal and special pre-
cautions have been taken to
discourage swimmers. Besides
the usual searchlightS and ma
chinegun towers, barbed wire
fills the entire area between
the wall and the waters edge.
In some places along this
favored escape route, the wire
has even been strung below the
surface Of the canal to trap
unwary underwater swimmers.
The American patrol of four
GIs and two officers wearing
helmets and bulletproof vests,
advances slowly and casually
across the bridge leading up to
the barrier. A few feet from the
wall the officers pause to stare
incuriouSly at East German
police peering out through
their narrow gunports. Nothing
is said. And the soldiers for
their part seem heartily bored
by the whole exercise.
In fact. since August 10, 1861,
when East German troops sud-
denly sealed the sector bound
airy between East and West |
Berlin. the feeling of crisis and |
danger has largely disappeared. !
One remembers the tension
OF those first days the tanks
and soldiers irH the streets of |
East Berlin the thickening
barriers at the crossing points
;. the headlong, last-minute
rush Of escapes the angry
crowds gathered at the border
the semicomic housings by
East German water cannons
:. the pompous speeches of
politicians the growing
despair.

escaped into the French sector
through a 60-foot tunnel that
had been four weeks in the

The mass escapes have al
ways made the biggest head
lines in West Berlin. The latest
of these took place on June 8
when group of IA East Ger

light spin on Havel Lake, in
weighed the captain and en-
gineer into consuming large
amounts of brandy, locked
them in a cabin and seized the
ship. The cruise ended happily
at a West German dock on the
River Spree after a series of
tense brushes with Communist
patrol boats,

Not all these adventures.
needless to say, have had a
happy ending. A very approx
mate total of known killings
along the wall stands today at
so and there have undoubtedly
been many other unadvertised
casualties among those making
their break for freedom.
Still, the continuing rate of
successful escapes suggests the
limitations of even the most
elaborate precautions that the
East German jailers can de-
wise. And the fact that a not
inconsiderable number of the
jailers themselves have Joined
in the flight is perhaps par
ticularly significant.

start asking questions. AS it
usually turns out the person
they find is a West German
policemen guarding the other
side Of the wall. Their ques-
tons normally involve living
conditions u West Berlin
rather than politics. Western
policemen are encouraged to
respond. And being older and
wiser men they often seem
tempted to throw in a bit OF
fatherly advice.
And so in its own peculiar
sinister way Berlin's wall con-
tinues to supply its daily ra-
ton Of headaches to author
tiles in East and West alike
But all things considered, per-
haps, the discomfort is greater
on the Communist side of the
line.

dictions voiced when the wal
