With Soviet pressure rising and a separate East German peace in sight, the Reds sealed the hatch after years of lax border controls and a flood of refugees. More than two thousand people fled daily at the peak before the closure.

Plane Dismantling After Hills Landing Near Harrison
A Dallas architect’s fight plane made a forced landing Sunday in a mountain clearing near Harrison Arkansas. Pilot Matt Howard and passengers Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weaver walked to a house, were transported to Harrison, and left for Dallas Monday. The Piper Commanche is stuck in a 60 foot long clearing and likely must be dismantled and hauled out by truck. The motor failure at 7000 feet and short landing space left the craft damaged only slightly, with no injuries reported. The recovery faces rough brush and distant roads as Howard searches for a way to extract the plane.
