East German wall bolstered as refugees flee Berlin
In Berlin, East Germany dispatched over 1,000 workers to reinforce a 25 mile anti refugee border wall with trenches breasting works and pillboxes. The move followed weekend escapes by 20 to 54 East Germans and came as officials reported threats against riverboat escapees and delays for U S students on a People to People exchange visit. A border incident saw youths seized near the western edge while a girl described threats sent to refugees in West Berlin camps. Officials probe the harassment and identify possible communist agents involved.
