He is leaving now for Ox ford University in Engined, for a year. His series of articles on im pressions of life in West Berlin has l>een distributed by the Uni versity News Bureau. Mr. Reston. a Morehead Scholar here, is on leave for a year to travel in Eu rope and attend Oxford. By JAMES B. RBSTON JR. WEST BERLIN-! live in a home of a German couple in a tiny village in West Berlin, and within the past few weeks I have observed the effect of the Berlin crisis on the nervous systems of i both the man and his wife. They show signs of what we sometimes i call "cracking up ” The pressure on these people is terrific and not without its toll. Shortly after the shutting of the j border, am) the outright show of military force on both sides of 1 the "Chinese Walt" the father in j the house in which l live had a i violent nervous attack It cur j tailed his normal actions for over a week. His trouble was partly due to | an overloaded law practice but when 1 asked the mother about the causes of the attack, she said openly and without hesitation, "That is Berlin." Later in the week, the pressure took its toll on her too She fell into a deep depression which came to a climax when she broke down into uncontitillable sobs, exclaiming that she was afraid the Russians were going to take Berlin. The Village Kohlhasenbrueck is a tiny vil lage on the outskirts of West Ber lin. made up, for the most part, of I large and typeially German hous es. inhabitated by relatively well ; to-do families, and connected to the busyness of hustling West Berlin only by a narrow, cobble stone road which runs through a mile of woods But there is a great difference 1 between this pretty little dorf and any other suburb of a large me tropolitan area: Kohlhasbrueck is a peninsula in Communist East ern Germany, enclosed since two wire fences each over seven feet high, tietween which the Com munist have rolled more barbed wire, in such a fashion that it is for all practical purposes impos sible to get through it. Behind this barrier, the Com munists have cleared a space of about forty yards, in what before hand used to lie very pretty woods, with old ami tall trees. Ironically enough, one of the larg est houses there, whose back yard terminates at the border is call ed "Waldhaus,” or the Forest House. The woods behind this fence are crawling with members of the ‘ Piople's Police," always hiding behind trees or in bushes. According to Communist propa ganda they are there to keep out the "western monopolistic specu lators, and other people who are trying to undermine the develop ment of socialism in the Ger man Democratic Republic,” but in reality their task is to prevent their own [>eople from escaping to the freedom of West Berlin, even if they have to shoot them ilt is interesting to note that while the fence was being built around Kohlhasenbrueck, four “People's Policemen” successful ly fled across the border ") Tension The ever present sight of barb ed wire, walls, and soldiers with ready machine guns, observing from their covers the every day actions of the people of kohlhas enbrueck has heightened the level of tension and depression over Berlin for the- free-living people here far above that of the normal West Berliner, who is not so c losely confronted with the instru ments of war and inclosura For example, for over two months I have been living with a Kohlhas enbrueck family who have twice lost everything that they owned, once during the war as a result of American bombs, and the sec ond time, when they fled to West Berlin from Potsdam, a town just outside of Berlin, now under Com munist administration, because they could not stomach the Com munist atmosphere. Since the closing of the sector border on the thirteenth of August, and the subsequent encompassing of Kohl hasenbrueck, the subject of leav ing the Berlin which they love so much and going to West Germany has become a frequent topic of conversation. It was never discussed before the thirteenth. At the present time, they Still hold to the opinion that every West Berlin family which leaves is a victory for Khrushchev but nevertheless they seem to be contemplating now a move to the West not in the next year or so but maybe in five years. But the really fateful event in the near future which all the peo- D.A.R.

As soeu as it becom es apparent what the implications of such a treaty will be, the peo ple ia Kohlhasenbrueck are not going to be making any definite plans. Ther* is a joke which has be come especially popular here in the lath several weeks which re flects the overwhelming pressure under which the people of Berlin, including those in Kohlhasen brueck are living. A Western Ger man, visiting Berlin, sits down.in a beer hall next to a nervous Ber liner who is tensely fumbling with a glass of beer and smoking cig arette after eigarette. The West German leans over and says in a sympathetic way, “Friend, are you nervous about Berlin'.’" The Berliner nervously nods his head. -.“Well, friend,” replies the West German, "perhaps I can calm you down.
