(UPI Telephoto) Iron Curtain, Once Imaginary Line, Now Fortified Barrier Br LEROY KELLER Berlin - IUPD - The "Iron Curtain", once only a Chur ehillian phrase dramatizing the ideological barrier sepa rating the Communist and Western worlds, today is a fortified line of barbed wire, steel and concrete running from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Prior to the Hungarian Re volt in 1956, there was one break in this long prison fence walling off the satellite peoples from their European brothers. That was the border between Hungary and Aus tria. The Soviets were power less at the time to prevent the flood of refugees streaming into Austria. Within a few weeks, how ever, the gap was closed. To day all along the hundreds of miles of what once was an imaginary line the refugee torrents have dwindled to a trickle. Physical Description Physically, the Iron Cur tain, except in city areas, is a hundred-foot wide strip of land along much of which has been built four barbed wire fences. Three of them are six feet high and the fourth is ten feet high and electrified. Land mines are spotted between the fences. There are passages throueh it. but they are sur rounded by alarm systems and rocket-flare warnings. Watchtowers constructed so that each is in visual contact with another are manned twenty-four hours a day to make certain no desperate citi zen from the Eastern area es capes. Apparently the Communists now envision this as a per manent barrier, for the wood en fence posts- are being re placed by concrete ones, and the wooden towers are being converted to steel. Always a Problem Berlin was problem for the Russians almost from the start. Before the blockade of 1948 people moved in large numbers back and forth across the line between the east and west parts of the city. Bar riers started to go up in that year, but were torn down when the allied airlift forced the Russians to give up their efforts to starve out West Berlin. As recently as 1950, 84.000 East Berliners still worked in the western part. In 1952 the Communists got tough again and established special con- Bob Hope Wins Leadership Award Hollywood -(UPD- Comedian Bob Hope, who tonight acts as master of ceremonies of the annual Academy Awards show, today received the Free dom Leadership Award from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge.

At the! same time they began to harass East Berliners work ing in the West. . Today there are. only six streets in all Berlin where it is possible to cross from east to west. And the number of East Berliners still work ing in West Berlin is down to approximately 28,000. The Family Council Editor'!

Harold J. -1 am an engaged man of 24 involved in a peck lying little girl." If the story she told is a complete fabri cation, it was only necessary to state that she had been mis taken. We will not presume to say which story is true, but we think Evelyn should be aware of trouble Just because of a I that her daughter could be sneaky, lying litte girl - my telling an untruth without 13-year-old niece, Doris. ' meaning to. This child is ouite I have been living with my brother and sister-in-law for the past year, trying to get a start in a new line of work. Recently I brought my fiancee to the house and my brother and sister-in-law were out. Doris (I thought) was in her room doing homework. I took my fiancee to my room, leav ing the door open, to show her some new records. The next day my sister-in- law said Doris had seen us engaged in intimacies. This is absolutely not true. My sister-in-law is terribly upset and I don't blame her. It's true we did a little mud necking, but is that a criminal offense? e Evelyn J. - My husband and I are doing our level best to bring up our three children with the proper standards of behavior. It isn't always easy in these days when they are subjected to such terrible in fluences from the outside. I want our home, at least, to be a center of clean living. My husband and I have al ways considered Harold a fine man and have held him up as an example to the children. Doris is crazy about him and his fiancee and has often said she hopes she'll be like her and gets a husband like Harold. What am I to tell my little girl now? It's hard to believe she would tell a lie like that. also find it hard to believe that Harold and his fiancee would take such liberties in my home. It's not like them. The Council: When two ordinarily upstanding indi viduals tell conflicting stories, It is probably safest to assume there has been a misunderstanding. Harold and his fiancee were wrong and foolish to remain in his room when there were no adults in the house. He should acknowledge his error and apologize to his brother and sister-in-law for this abuse of hospitality. We also feel Harold has weakened his case by refer ring to his niece as a ' sneaky, naturally very curious about the romance going on so close to her. She is also stimulated committed to their stories and there is little point in getting at the actual truth. What should Evelyn tell her daughter? She can tell her it is normal and natural for an engaged couple to kiss and embrace, but that it is wrong and foolish of them to induce in full physical intimacy. She can also say that nobody should jump to conclusions about others on the basis of a glance or word because it is too easy to make mistakes. E. H.
