Dick Heller, Jr. Tells OfGermanßefuaee Camn

(Editor's note: ThU is the last iof a series of three articles with a West German camp for refugees from the Communist zone. In the first article I described our arriival at the Altenstadt refugee one of 12 receiving points'for refugees* in Bavaria. Yesterday I told of visiting the kindergarten and school.) .’< — J By CPU. DICK HELLER, JR. Pastor Ffcuser introduced m® to a fretkle-faced wisp of a man named Hans Kroenert. Ilans had fled from the east zone with his wife and three children, He told me his story. Hans came from Freiberg, near Dresden. He owned a mill that made paper for newspapers, and had been quite well-to-d<i. He was a member of the German SocialDemocratic party, the largest party of East Germany. When the Communists took over his country he refused to cooperate with them. He worked through his party until it was completely absorbed by the Reds. Then he was artested on political charges and sentenced tp 214 years in a political prison. There he worked long hours every day in a great uranium mine. He received for his' wife and children exactly ■53.50 a month to feed and clothe them, He got very little to eat. f Kept From His Job ?■ After he served his sentence he tried to get a job in a paper plant. He got a job, but when he refused •to join the “party,” he was fired. He could not get another similar job. Finally! he was driven back into the mines, the only place where he could get work. His health was broken by the hard work and unpleasant conditions. Then s'ix months ago the secret police started to work on him. Tirit they searched his home. When they found a piece of ordinary electric wire, they accused him of making fuses for bombs. He was thrown into jail, once for eight days, again for five days. In all. he was arrested 12 itimes in six months and thrown Into jail for varying periods of time. Finally the police called htni in and asked him if he would li|<e a job working with them, as an agent to detect workers who didn’t like Communism. This was i!n April. He told them that he wquld consider. ' He went home and gathered together his family. The next morning they dressed up fori a trip. Wearing Communist badges, boarded a train for Berlin! to take part in the May Day celebrations. When they got to East Berlin they crossed the border into West Berlin. They were so eager -to get to ■ West Berlin that they forgot to 1 take off their badges until they, i noticed the West Berliners ,starj ing at them. Os course you can imagine what would happen to I him and his family if they return- ! cd to ETtst Germany now. ! But i|ans and his wife pre happy again. They hav® spent ten weeks’|n the camp. Though they i have no money, they haVe packed everything they own into a small cardboard box. and are now ready to start life again in a free country. Thfy are 5 of the lucky 609 i who will settle near the Dutch border. Communiat Youths While we were taking pictures of the refugees, two children volunteered to tell us their story. They had been members • of the so-called Frei Deutsche! Junge (Free German Youth!, the Cominunistled youth group in the east zone. Compare their story with our own Boy and Girl Scouts. The children told us that from IJie ages Os 8-14 they were memI beT2 of the “Young Pioneers,” CompaTgjble to our Cub Scouts and Brownies. There are now mil--1 lion “Young Pioneers” who spend *1 ‘IM patronize Local ■■ ■ II i Business WI . 1 SHOP at HOME 1 • I ii. ' ■ jr I J I' 1 t ' WELCOME WAGON PHONE 3-3196 or 3-3946

two evenings a week in sports and in learning the ■works of Lenin, Stalin, Pieck, and Thalmann. Imagine getting ouir young people to read and study political books! On holidays these children gre separated from their purepts and churches and attend special meetings at camps in the country. They are trained to hate Americans because the Americans are the leading “Imperialist” power. In these camps they learn to shoot with bows and Arrows at figures of Eisenhower and Adenauer. Os course the parents can’t tell the children the triith, | because a slip of the child’s tongue in school would result in th® disappearance of the parents. the age of, 14 the children join the “Free German Youth. ’-’ The boy we talked to was 17 years old. He had been a member g’s a “circle” of 5 to 10 boys, like a patrol in a troop of Boy Scouts; While they practiced firing their i22*s op the range, or sang songs iri their clubhouse, their miiids were being prepared for Communist pgrty membership. When the Communist bosses found out that this boy was a member of the Junge Gemeinde (Protestant Youth Fellowship, now Outlawed) they forced him to become a “circle” leader, and promised him a good career in the people’s police (East German Army)/This would guarantee him good food, relatively high pay, and security for his family. He could no longer continue his education, because members of the Protestant Youth Fellowship were not allowed to attend schools. Rather than become a member of the people’s police, he fled to West Germany. i A girl. Inngard B ’ — (her father is returning to Saxony) came from a small country village. She was a meriJber of a group of 22 girls, like a group of girl scouts. She was also 17 years old. Her group met twice a week, on Wednesday evenings and op Sunday mornings, at the same hours as church meetings, to study politics and to fire .22 rifles. When I asked her if they sewed or epoked at the meetings, she laughed and said no, that such a thing was unknown for them. They studied only politics. • Her father was a farmer, and lowped a very small farm. The Communists told, him each year how each grain he must raise, and many head of livestock, to be delivered to them. This past year his share had been so high that he was unable to produce so much, and he fled w|ith his family to West Berlin/ However, the -Communist government, alarmed at the number of peasants who had fled to the West. . told him that if he would return, they would give him his farm back and ,he wouldn’t have to produce so niuch. Since this farm has been in his family for hundreds of years, he naturally was greatly at tached to it. So he is leaving his family secure in Western Germany and returning to the land of his fathers. We had now spent five hours in the camp, and it was time for us to leave. Most of the children of "i the camp were still standing around the jeep, asking for another ride. As we jumped into the jeep anil started through the camp gate, they stood waving and smiling at us, their thin frail faces reflecting the joy of new-found friendship. Evelynn Kingsley Is Awarded Trip 'Mrs. Evelynn Kingsley, local manager of Lord’s store, will leave this week-end for Miami, Fla. for a week’s expense free trip, as a reward for his work as recorder for the local chapter of the Women of the'Moose.
