There’ll probably be quite a fight.

O’MALLEY BERLIN ( — West Berlin is a city with a heart as big as its troubles. It has been seared in a hot war, chilled and immobilized in the cold war. But its people know only one creed when trouble strikes: Keep your chin up and help, Thousands upon thousands of East German refugees know that now. It may have been only days ago that some of these refugees were Part of an anti-West demonstra- tion in East Berlin, performing a dance of hate for their Russian bosses. Today they are fed, housed and advised by the West Berliners, who know hardship well The East German Communists warn refugees that they are being lured to the West “so that your misery will be increased.” Nothing » Dodge Cl.
