You think of the cliche about the Wall being a Monument to the failure of a communist system. B a r b e d wire on the other West Berlin. You wonder where the Rea Wall can be. Later you realize it s an undulating Barrier of Many faces. Much of it consists of the Walls of houses apartment buildings or Ries with the space Between them bricked in. The Wall itself erected in 1961. Stands 10 feet or so High and is topped with Etri bedded broken Glass or barbed wire. At key Points there Are Volo patrols and leashed police dogs prowl for would be Refu gees trying to set to the West against almost impossible Odds there Are also wide strips of open area with signs warning people in keep out. You guess that they re mined. Peering through the bran but this is less meaningful j Denburg Gale to thaa the r e a 1 i z a t i o n that be a crossing Point but now you of How quickly strikes Stark the confrontation is. Here in Berlin Between East and West. Itt a vague Way you feel you know More than before what the cold War is about. Here you arc at the epicentre a potential flashpoint should the cold War Ever turn hot. I came to Hie Wall from a different direction than most Western visitors. My View was mostly from the communist Side of the City which is re ally better than West Berlin far grasping How sinister the Wall is. Nevertheless i also had occasion to from the West Ern Side. Twice in two Days i had to make trips Back and Forth across the Border on the a Bahn. The elevated Railroad that still connects the two parts of the Cleft City. Many faces from the r a i 1 r o a d the Wall you see is mostly Ca Nal on one Side of which Are a to Man s Laad and Miles of Mitchell Copp fyn Ixa mind Contact is Ness Harold m.

Checkpoint Charlie one of the few remaining Road links is a Busy place. Each vehicle is checked through with Cus Toms immigration and other formalities just As in Border Crossings elsewhere. But to get the feel of what the division of Berlin Means to berliners it s Best to travel the a Hahn Stadt Bahn mean Ira Only of every Day in the East Ber Lin a Bahn terminal you cart witness heartrending scenes of berliners taking leave of loved ones before setting out for the other Side those taking part in these tearful partings Are old ple. Only retired East Ger mans with relatives in the Western sectors May visit the West. Travellers Are r e fully scrutinized by East German officials both going and Coin ing. This extends not Only to passport control but also cur Rency declarations and. For returning East berliners min Ute inspection of Luggage or parcels. Despite All the red tape and the problem of dealing with people often bewildered and emotionally overwrought the Border officials Click travellers through at a Good Pace. Impressed with this Triumph of Good organization Over a cumbersome system i made a note to the effect that Ger mans can t help being efficient even under the heavy hand of communism. Some time later i me toned this to a High ranking West German ing him to beam proudly. It was an indication that Ger Man National feeling transcends ideological barriers. Needed visas my reason for travelling Back and Forth was that the polish military Mission is in West Berlin and that s where my wife Joan and i had to get our visas for Poland which we proposed to visit after East Berlin we never did figure out Why such visas should be handled in the Western zone rat he r than by the polish embassy in the Eastern zone unless it s because West Berlin is where the Money Laden tourists Are. Our experiences with the a Bahn if not painful were no less difficult than those of Ber liners. Govt. Proposes Csc shakeup some hotels have a comfortable Charm. Some have a Brand new Shine.

The result was that we ended up in the ticket zone with no Means of buying our transportation. Finally the ticket taker an understanding w o or an took two used tickets off a pile and slipped them to us. Than As we walked past the wicket she graciously accepted them from us again. We looked for her e v e t y time we Well Artri the a Bahn after that hut she was never there. We owed the equivalent of about 10 cents. Packages checked we never brought anything of consequence Back with us Berlin but we often had the Chance to observe some of the things East Ber liners brought Back Small food p a c k a g e a chocolate sometimes cosmetics.

Once or twice my wife had her purse searched. But our most memorable experience came one when we returned together to East Berlin and were sitting wait ing for Wiir passports to be processed. Joan had placed her movie camera and Case on a table. Suddenly we became aware of a ticking noise. If it was t like the ticking of a take h for that in a room permeated with the atmosphere of the cold War. A uniformed official heard the noise and reacted with alarm. Who know what Emer gency measures m i g h t have been put into Force during the next few moments if tha tick ing had continued but Joan rising to the occasion calmly opened the Case and pushed a Button on the camera Back into the lock position from which it had slipped.

This Means that if the Pas Senger business were abandoned immediately then the immediate saving would be our projection and objective i is that by we will overtake the Short term expanses of and in the Early 1970s produce Complete break even or.
