By CARL HARTMAN BERLIN (IP) — The United States and its Allies will do all they can to keep road, rail and air routes open to West Berlin- but getting through the wall into Red-ruled East Berlin is a differ ent matter. West Berlin, 110 miles inside Communist territory, must get its supplies from the West. People living here want the right to move in and out freely. That is what is meant by the catchwords of “via bility” and “free access.” On the other hand, the Allies claim the freedom to move into East Berlin as a matter of right but it’s a freedom that’s full of holes already, and may disappear any day. For Berliners, it disappeared Aug. 13, 1961, when the Commu nists started to build the wall. For American civilians it began to dis appear last October, when East German border guards insisted on looking at their identification pa pers, even when they were in of ficial cars.

Adrian Adair Assistant Sport Editors Dale Baugh Photographer The United States sent in tanks to back up its rights. The Soviets brought in tanks of their own. That was hailed as a victory for the West because it showed the Soviets were still responsible for Berlin, but the Communists won the point about identification. The U. S. command simply ordered American civilians not to drive over in official cars. The right disappeared for Maj. Gen. Albert Watson II, the U.S. commandant in Berlin, last March. The Communists barred him after he had barred the So viet commandant from the U. S. sector. For Western military vehicles the freedom beg&n to disappear Oct. 6 — the day border guards blocked a British ambulance from going to aid a West Berliner shot on the Communist side of the wall. The West protested, but that was all. Other U. S., British and French military cars still drive through without question. Soldiers in uni form still stroll freely across the line. Busloads of tourists make regu lar circuits every day. Visitors from West Germany go in on foot by car, in subway and elevated trains, to rendezous with friends and relatives from the East. But all this is on Communist sufference. The only way to reach East Berlin from the West it through West Berlin. To em phasize their control of East Ber lin, East German border guards make close checks of all civilians. They insist on inspecting pass ports, search cars and make visit ors sign a statement of all money and valuables they bring in. The Western nations feel they can do nothing about this. They have had no real power in East Berlin since 1948. Some people wonder why the Communists don’t take a few more slices off the Berlin salami. They could bar Western military traffic entirely from East Berlin, or require foreign visitors to get visas in advance. These develop ments are often predicted. The Soviets may be holding back because they fear Western reprisals. The West could prevent the Soviets from coming to West Berlin to guard their war memori al or the Nazi war criminals in Spandau Prison. GARZA’S Restaurant GENUINE MEXICAN & AMERICAN FOODS 803 S.
