Grainger Measures Taken By West Berlin To Aid Refugees By Joseph P. Fleming By Joseph P. Fleming BERLIN — (UPI) — West Berlin authorities have cut red tape to speed the processing of thousands of East German refugees streaming in this isolated Western outpost. As hundreds pour in daily, authorities are chartering commercial planes to augment regularly scheduled flights for getting the refugees across the 110-mile strip of Communist East German territory to West Germany. West Berlin officials considered cutting from four days to two the time it normally takes to process the refugees. Officials said they had a "battle" on their hands handling the throngs in West Berlin's Marienfelde Refugee Center. Refugees, fearful that conclusion of a Soviet-proposed peace treaty will slam shut the "emergency exit" to the West, are pouring into West Berlin at near-record numbers. More than 18,000 East Germans have fled their homeland this month alone. More than 20,000 Germans mixed politics and prayers at the Protestant rally. The meeting originally was planned for both East and West Berlin, but it was confined to the Western sector when the Communists outlawed the assembly on the ground that it supported "militarism." A large number of refugees in recent days slipped across the border to attend a huge Protestant religious rally in West Berlin. The U.S. Army announced Wednesday it was reorganizing its troop command in West Berlin, giving more emphasis to training its combat-ready 5,000-man garrison. Western allied forces in the divided city are vastly outnumbered by the Communists who have 22 crack Soviet armored divisions in East Germany, bolstered by seven divisions kept under arms by the Communist East German regime. The exodus of refugees from East Germany forced officials in Stuttgart to reopen five old refugee camps in the state of Baden-Wuerttemburg. Six other camps in West Berlin were being utilized as initial refugee living quarters. Refugees undergo stringent debriefing by separate teams of Americans, British, French and West German officials in West Berlin. Then they are flown to other more permanent camps in the German Federal Republic. While at Marienfelde, the refugees — many of whom left their homes and jobs to escape to freedom — are huddled five and six in a room and they sleep in double-decker bunks. Their food is prepared in a central kitchen and they eat breakfast and dinner in their rooms, lunch is served in a huge dining hall. "Though the camp is filled," and conditions are not always ideal, said August Koehler, a camp official, "we never get any complaints. They are satisfied with everything we do for them. They are quiet and orderly and, above all, thankful. "Now that children are on vacation, we are prepared to use school buildings if the flow of refugees continues as it has in the past ten days." U.S. Accused Of Contest Fix BERLIN — (UPI) — East German Communists yesterday accused the United States of rigging the Miss Universe Contest to spur the flight of East German refugees to the West. The official communist youth newspaper "Young World" said Marlene Schmidt, 24-year-old German electronics engineer, was chosen Miss Universe at Miami Beach Saturday only because she fled to West Germany from the Soviet Zone a year ago. It said the United States hoped that other East German girls would flee to the West in imitation of Miss Universe. ... Books in Review ... By Calder M. Pickett Professor of Journalism VIRGO DESCENDING, by Thomas Duncan. Doubleday, $3.95. Solveig Skovgard enters Pete McCabe's life in 1935 when she comes to Santa Fe as the winner of a writing contest. She is beautiful and dynamic, and Pete instantly falls in love with her and becomes absorbed in the fascination of her Virgin Islands background. Being in love with Solveig involves not only a good deal of love-making but also a bit of ghost-writing, for Solveig is a four-square, 99.9 per cent fraud. She can't write her own name, but only Pete and a few other people learn this as she soars upward to fame and fortune. "Virgo Descending" has some of the feel of "What Makes Sammy Run?"" Pete McCabe is no Al Mannheim, but he gets used as badly. He's a jerk who knows he's a jerk all the time. He writes the most banal of western novels, always thinking that underneath it all there beats the heart of a Hemingway. Pete caters to the least common denominator in American readers, but one wonders as he reads this novel if maybe Thomas Duncan doesn't do almost the same thing. All that Pete has is his integrity (admittedly, that's quite a bit to have). He has no real ability. Does Duncan? He tells an absorbing story and some of his comments on the American scene are wry and telling. But this book fails to hold the reader as it should. Could it be that we have heard the story of Sammy Glick too many times, and I'amour in the bedroom gets a bit dull to read about so often? THE GREAT DEPRESSION, edited by David Shannon, Spectrum (Prentice-Hall), $1.95. Not the least of the novelties of this worthwhile collection of documents on the depression is the fact that practically everything here is the story of the person who was being called, in 1933, "the forgotton man." David Shannon has assembled case histories that present a vivid picture of the days when not only the economy but the human soul was in a depressed state. He tells the story through governmental reports, newspaper articles, interviews by social workers, and personalized reminiscences. First comes "Crash!," the events of black Thursday and tragic Tuesday 1929. Hoover spoke of prosperity being around the corner, men began to sell apples, there was a brisk trade in shoe-shining, some people tried to get jobs in Russia, and women slept in the parks of Chicago. The lot of the farmer in the depression follows, and the story of relief, which many were too proud to take. The depression produced wanderers, and these occupy a section, ending with a chapter from Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." Shannon then describes how the depression hit the middle class, what it did to education, how it stirred talk—and action—concerning revolution. He concludes with a set of case histories—ex-businessmen, urban Irish, urban Jewish, and a totally deaf couple. What a contrast to the 1920s, which helped to produce this sorry decade! There is little pretty to recall from the 1930s, and this book, dark and grim as it should be, might be good reading for the young people today who think being followers of Goldwater is the real way to be a revolutionary. THE HAMLET, by William Faulkner. Modern Library Paperbacks, $1.25. In this 1940 novel—which is in a way a loosely connected series of short stories—Faulkner gave to American literature the Snopeses—the thin, washed-out, evasive, crafty, immoral, barn-burning Flem Snopes. Faulkner had been telling us previously, in "The Sound and the Fury," about the decline of the old South and the rise of a new South in which a Jason Compson accommodates himself to the standards of the backwoods. That decline is described further in "The Hamlet." There are near-classic episodes and characters in this novel. First there is Flem, and second there is Eula, lush and lovely and lazy, almost symbolizing southern decadence, the Eula who is lusted after by all the neighborhood lads and finds herself with child—almost as though it were all an accident. Eula is from the Varner clan, the Varners who slowly give way to the Snopeses. Then there are the spotted ponies that Flem brings in from Texas and that cause such excitement in Frenchman's Bend. And there is the inarticulate Ike Snopes, who spends a long hot summer chasing a cow, for which he has a deep and abiding affection—which is one way to put it. Here is a novel only occasionally bogged down by Faulknerese, one that is likely to become a modern American classic. PILGRIMS IN PARADISE, by Frank G. Slaughter. Permabooks, 50 cents. Lusty, busty and gusty, here is what readers have come to expect from Frank Slaughter. It's the story of how a doctor shepherds Cromwell era pilgrims to the islands of the Bahaman group. There is a wild plan to attack Cuba and the Spanish stronghold, and the doctor is contrasted with his fanatical brother. There is also, of course, sex. BANDOLEER CROSSING, by Frank O'Rourke. Ballantine, 35 cents. Not a bad western novel, this a "High Noon" in reverse, the story of a law man who gives up the Texas Rangers to become a rancher but first has to clean up the country. The climax involves his failure to take a man alive.
