Newspaper Page Textv. 13,000 Held in Political Jails By West Germans Bonn- (UPD -Thirteen thou sand political prisoners are in East German jails for crimes that wouldn't even rate a fine in a western state, West German officials report. Their "crimes," All-German Affairs Minister Ernest Lem mer said, range from threat ening to close a business house because it was losing money to refusing to Join a Communist farm collective. "Whoever dares to publicly criticize the state (In East Germany)," Lemmer declared, "goes to jail." "Just one example of un numbered cases," Lemmer continued, "is that a barber ohnn nwnflr In .Ttieterboi? who said during a discussion that If prices didn't change he wnulH hnvD in rinse his shoD. He was sentenced by a court In Potsdam to lour montns In 4ol1 fnr 'nttpmntion to DreS' sure the government in an effort to attain egoistic goals.' His license to operate a barber shop also was vim drawn." Afenrrilniz to Socialist OP' nnaltlnn nnrtv HnClimentS.

The bookkeeping for this work is lancy, ana indicates the prisoner earns a basic ' uoa of IRA marks (45) month. But after deductions, the prisoner has left only 15 marks ($3.60). If he is on his good be havior, he Is permitted ; to snnnd the monev in a SDeclal commissary, to suppement regular rations, which the So cialists described as mainly bread and soup, witn a coupie of slivers of sausage twice a week and boiled potatoes on Sunday. As an inducement, prison ers are promised their sen- tannaa will h raHtirprt hv one day for each two days they work-on condition they over- fulfill their I'work norms" by 141 per cent.

The women, she said, slept In their underclothing and, as cellB were overcrowd ed, many bedded In dirty blankets on the cement floors. Once every . fortnight, they were allowed to shower. Attempt to Fie Many of the prisoners were sentenced for attempting to flee to West Germany. Thereon hangs one of the best bits of gallows humor ex-prlsoners have reported. The tale has it that a gov nrnmont man from East Ber lln Inspecting an Insane asy lum asked why a certain mo rose party had been certified. "He tried to lice East uer mnnv" was the reDlv. "But that doesn't make him crazy." the Inspector mur mured. "But this one," came the answer, "tried to escape to the Soviet Union."

What most of them don't notice Is that all the lottery vendors are blind. The dally lottery, which pays 250 pesetas for one pe seta If you win ($4.17 for 1.7 cents), is a means of letting blind people with no other talents pay their own way in the world. Admittedly they don't have an easy time of it out on the streets come rnln or shine, but they can make enough to live on and take the load off their relatives. In all of Spain there are 18,000 blind persons. In the capital city of Madrid there are 1,500 sightless people. For many of them the lottery !s their only means of survival. The lottery was founded and Is sponsored by the Na tional Organization for the Blind. Both the organization and the lottery began In 1938, near the end of the bloody civil war. The cycle of a vendor's life starts In the evening at 8:30 when he goes to central head quarters to pick up the cou pons for the next day. At the same time he also returns the unsold coupons of the pre vious day and collects his per centage for the tickets sold. One Peseta Each ticket is sold for one peseta (1.7 cents) and the man's profit depends on a cer tain minimum set on him by the organization. For instance, the smallest minimum is 120 tickets per day and is fixed on a vendor living alone with no one to support. The mini mum goes up as the number of dependents increases. The blind man is given a profit of 40 per cent on his minimum and 20 per cent on any additional sales. He can sell as many tickets as he wants to during a day. Aver ago sales run from 300 to 400 a day, bringing the seller a profit of around $50 a month. Each man is assigned a cer 21 49c tain area and a good part of ' his active life is spent walk ing up and down that part of the city soliciting his trade. The coupons are about the size of a book of matches and have a red number printed In the center. The numbers start at 1 and go up to 1,000. Many duplicate numbers are sold to gether and this Increases the value of the prize. No. Vh tin 51 2'i tin 29c No. 2V Number Drawn 5 for $1 4,n 89c 5 for $1 N t,n2 39c 'jar 19C Every night except Sundays and holidays at 8:30 the lucky number Is drawn at one of the offices of the National Or ganization for the Blind. Three metal cages filled with little wooden balls are spun around and from each one a ball Is taken. Each ball counts as a digit in the winning num ber and when three zeros come up, the number is 1,000. The radio and the press an nounce the number and each coupon with the number is worth $4.17. Also the holder of a ticket with the Inst two digits corresponding to the lucky number receives 40 cents. Local Man Owner $100,000 War Bill Frank Crowcll, 324 Haven st., was prompted to write the mayor tf St. Petersburg, Fin., this week because of the fact that he has a Confederate States of America $100,000 bill. The Florida mayor, appear ing on the television program "To Tell the Truth" this week, reported that he was a col lector of Confederate money. The Confederate money Is worth dollar for dollar among collectors, he said. Crowell enclosed a photo static copy of his $100,000 bill with the letter to see if the Florida man will ask for the original. The Medford res ident said that he has had the bill for 35 years. It originally belonged to his grandfather, the late Alvin Crowell, who lived at Jack sonville. The grandfather, Crowell said, had a plantation in the south, and came to this area with some $280,000 In Confederate money, which was worthless as legal tender. $ 1 World's Tallest Sign located in Texas Wichita Falls, Tex.-diPD-Where Is the tallest known sign In the world?
