Daring Rail Engineer Leads Friends to West Escape
In Berlin a rail engineer and 24 companions hijacked an East German train, speeding to West Berlin at 60 mph. Harry Deterling, 28, said shortages and pressure made life in East Germany intolerable. Seven passengers not involved chose to return to the Communist area. An East German locomotive later pulled the escape train back toward the East. The escape, planned to thwart a track block, occurred smoothly.
