But a young companion lost his nerve at the last minute and- was seized by East German police.Plummeting 60 feet into a fire brigade's safety net, the boy was taken to a hospital for treatment for shock and bruises.West Berlin authorities said he will be placed in a children’s home until it is decided what will be done with him. Children of such tender age generally are returned to their parents in the East.The boy made his spectacular le*p in the Bemauerstrasse, where the houses on one side are Communist East Berlin while the sidewalk is in Western territory.The street has been the scene of many escapes. The boy jumped at almost the exact spot where an East German student was killed last November when he missed the rescue net and crashed to the sidewalk.Because of the numerous escapes the East German authorities turned the tenants out of the apartment houses, bricked up the windows, and placed barbed wire barriers on the roofs.In midinorning the two boys ■crawled through the barbed wire. ■They tossed small stones over the I parapet into the street betow. This | is the usual signal that somebody j plans to escape.Passersby alerted police, whocalled a fire squad with a jump net. The net was spread over the ! sidewalk.West Berlin police tixk post with rifles ready to give cover to the firemen tn case the East police opened fire. One boy stood up on the parapet, paused, then stepped out into space.The other boy also stood up on the parapet, but climbed down iagain and lay flat. Later Easi po-i lice were seen leading him away j through on opening in the roof.! During the night an East rail-'road policeman bolted to the West through a tunnel of the subway. Two civilians also escaped but how they did it waj kept secret.R«westun ViSc! aft prc ft
