Team of Reporters Give Their Views
Qn Prospects of East German Revolt
(Editor's note: Are there
any prospects, today of an
uprising by East Germans
gainst their Communist
mailers such as the pathetic
outburst of anger and frus
tration that was crushed by
Soviet armor in June, 1953?
A team of UPI reporters,
including Wellington Long,
cheif correspondent for Ger
many. Joseph B. Fleming,
Berlin bureau chief, Frank
furt corresopndents Werner
Zwick and Karl Mack, and
UPI's chief European dip
lomatic correspondent
Karol Thaler, in London,
give their views in the fol
lowing dispatch.)
Berlin-iUPI)-If she is lucky,
the housewife in Erfurt, capi
tal of the East German "state"
of Thuringia, can go into her
state-run food store and buy a
kilogram (2- t pounds) of po
tatoes for 80 pfennigs (20
cents). But she'll have to be
very lucky either to find po
tatoes or get them at the price,
already doubled in recent
years.
The same housewife will
see few of the things she real
ly wants. On most days there
will be no eggs or cheese,
probably no milk. If there is
a little meat available she
may be allowed to purchase
350 grams about 12 ounces
for each member of her fam
ily. And it will have to stretch
over two weeks. The same
with butter (200 grams or
about seven ounces), if there
is any, or margarine. And
the same story with fish,
sausages, poultry, soup bones.
There is no official rationing,
Just an operating one.

Germany, though a little bet-1
ter in such "show" cities as
East Berlin and Leipzig.
Shortages
There are shortages of hard
goods, housing and semi-finished
products. Clothing is ex
pensive and of relatively poor
quality.
Though official East Ger
many figures are hard to come
by, some official publications
and official statements for
home consumption read like
"western propaganda."
A Communist politburo re
port issued as recently as June
29 described East Germany's
food situation as "serious,"
"complicated." and "extra
ordinarily difficult." In the
iame report, by Bruno L,eu
schner, chief of the East Ger
many planning bureau, there
we re such disclosures as that
1961-62 planning had called
for 250,000 more pigs than
last year but there were 1,
300,000 fewer.
In other aras, 32,000 new
housing units were realized
through June this year instead
of the 55,000 planned.
One area of near disaster
has been in agriculture. All
private farmers were forced
into kolkhozes or collectives
early in I960 and the first
year of this system was a
shocking failure. In addition
to the reported food shortages,
the statistical yearbook of
East Germany reported 1061
grain and cereal production
down by 24 per cent, almost
a fourth, from the previous
year.
By all reports the situation
in East Germany today is gen
erally as bad and in some
cases worse-than in the re-
volt year of 1953.
But will there be another
revolt?
"Jt is not possible for any
one to slate," reports UPt
Berlin bureau chief Joseph B.
Flming, "that there will or
will not be another revolt in
East Germany. No one pre
dicted the revolt of June 16
17, 1953. You cannot predict
things because they are spon
taneous. The 1953 revolt Just
exploded, without any plan
ning, with no real leadcrship
as was to happen In Hungary
three years later.
"The mood in East Ger
many today seems worse than
In the spring of 1953. There
have been West German press
reports of mutinies In the
army and of strikes in fac
tories. But most competent
observers here discount them.
What western officials, includ
ing intelligence groups, say
is that the recurring stories
of mutinies and strikes and
widescale passive resistance
are significant for what they
indicate: a vast hatred of the
regime. Yet no competent ob
server is forecasting revolt.
The impression one gels
from Easl Germany today is
one of hopelessness and de
pression, even among some

of hopelessness has thickened
in the past year since the
wall went up across Berlin
and stayed there."
UPI's chief correspondent
in Germany, Wellington Long,
also finds that a large measure
of hopelessness has taken hold
since erection of "the wall."
And Long in his report from
Bonn, the West German cap
ital, says observers there are
now pointing to the latest East
German feelings about their
Communist rulers.
"Here in Bonn," reports
Long, "there is a belief that

in space has the effect of sub-
duing many East Germans
who might otherwise become
restive. First, because it con
vinces them of Soviet superi
ority and, second, because
they think or hope that if
communism can achieve so
much in space it many even
tually improve things here on
earth "
Diplomatic correspondent
Karol Thaler, on the basis of
soundings among both eastern
and western diplomats, doubts
there will be an East German
revolt in the foreseeable fu
ture. "There is agreement that
the situation there is grim,"
Thaler reports, "and short
ages are becoming worse all
the time. But no one in a
position to assess the situation
closely looks for a revolt. For
one thing the East Germans
don't stand a chance and
probably know It. The Walter
Ulbricht regime has built a
powerful Communist police, a
strong militia, and army of
informers and spies. And
then, most important of all,
there are some 20 Soviet di
visions in Easl Germany with
tanks and jets."
Thaler agreed with his col
leagues that the Berlin wall
has been an added factor in
discouraging any East Ger
man uprising.
"Behind that wall in Ber
lin they not only feel more
isolated from the West than
before, but in fact are more
isolated. There is every indi
cation, further, that pressures
on the population have in
creased since the wall went
up on Aug. 13 a year ago."
Long, Fleming and Thaler
are agreed that Walter Ul
bricht, the tough East German
Communist boss, is a vital key
to East Germany's future.
"Western experts," says
Long, "believe if Ulbricht
were dropped that might
spark some sort of rising in
East Germany. But the Rus
sians know this, too, and so
they kept him propped up in
1953 and seem bound to keep
him propped up now."
Summing up, there are no
overt signs of simmering re
volt in East Germany and, as
Wellington Long notes in a
final observation, no one out
side East Germany is encour
aging one. He explains:
"The West is being careful
lo avoid inspiring or inciting
any '.ind of revolt in East
Germany. One of the com
plaints made in 1953 against
RIAS was that by letting
refugees and rebel leaders
from East Germany broadcast
from its studios, it helped fire
the revolt although it was
clear from the start that the
United States could not ac
tively assist it. Since then,
RIAS has been extremely
careful, in handling of news
for East Germany, to avoid
any grounds for charges of
incitement."
