East Germans are fed up
and they are saying so out
loud. The widespread dissatis
faction .even had infected the
rank and file of the Commu
nist party.
To combat anti-wall feeling
the party has stepped up its
propaganda campaign to jus
tify what it calls its "security
measures on the state border."

The Lowest Form
Dick West's Practical Joke
Ends in Tight Grip Around Neck
It JsCtkwSCl
By DICK WEST
Washington - HOT - There
is no lower form of life on
this planet than a practical
joker. A man
who would de-
liber ately
play a trick
on his wite,
causing the
poor woman
to doubt her
sanity, is be
n e a t h con
tempt. But I
nest surely did
have a lot of fun doing it.
It all started with those
king size double yolk eggs
that a poultry association gave
away to members of Congress
last week to call attention to
national eeg month.
Somebody slipped me a doz
en of them and as I was driv
ing home that evening a dia
bolical plot began to take
shape in my twisfed little
brain.
I left the eggs in the car
until my wife had retired
for the night. Then I fetch
ed them inside, opened the
refrigerator and emptied
Iwo cartons of eggs that
she had purchased.
In their place I deposited
the double yolkers and
makes you say
look how big they
stealthily stole off to bed,
cackling to myself. The next
morning, as the dear woman
was preparing breakfast, the
trap snapped shut.
"Do you know anything
about these eggs?" she asked.
"What eggs?" I asked.
"These eggs," she said.
"They're not the ones I
bought.
What
that?"
"Well,
are.
"They don't look big to
me," I said. "They look just
like any other eggs."
"If you will compare them
with the eggs in that other
carton, you will see what I
mean," she said, testily.
Thanks io my cunning
and foresight, the other
carton also contained dou
ble yolkeri, and I now open
ed it for her inspection.
"Look." I said. "They're
both the sair. You must
be imagining things."
My wife whirled around
and without further comment
broke one of the eggs in the
skillet. Then she whirled
back again.
"This one," she said, her
voice rising, "has two yolks."
"Nonsense," I said. "I don't
know what's the matter with
you this morning. You cer
tainly are acting strangely."
She gave me a sort of wild
look and cracked another egg.
Two more yolks plopped into
the pan and she reeled back
from the stove as though stun
ned. -
As I watched in horrified
fascination, my wife broke a
third egg, this time giving a
pitiful little cry. I suggested
that she go lie down for a
while.
I was enjoying one of the
eggs and reading the paper
when she returned. Over my
shoulder she happened to see
an item about the poultry as
sociation's visit to Congress.
As I felt her fingers closing
in a vise - like grip around
my throat, I managed to mut
ter a muffled plea of clem
ency. "Smile," I said. "You're on
'Candid Camera.' "
East Germans, in letters to
their newspapers, at Communist-called
forums and at fac
tory meetings, are asking why
they can not visit the West.
They say they have friends
and relatives in the west and
want to see them.
The Communist propaganda
I campaign has failed because
u nas proviaea no ciear an
swers. East German Commu
nist leader Walter Ulbricht set
the tone of the campaign with
the remark that West Ger
mans with relatives in the
East could move to East Ger
many. The West Berlin newspaper
Tagesspiegel, in a comment on
the remark, said, "The keeper
has invited us to move into
his jail."
The discontent of East Ger
mans was disclosed clearly
when the newspaper Lande-
szeitung in the province of
Thuringia asked its readers to
write it on the theme "What
Would Make Me Happy."
After four weeks the news
paper appealed to its readers
to "think correctly politically."
It made this recommenda
tion, it said, because most of
the letters it received tied to
gether happiness and trips to
the West.
Guste Zoern, one of the
women agitators assigned to
make the wall popular, wrote
in the Communist magazine
Einheit that the campaign
was failing with women.
She reported, for example,
Salcm-fllPU-Senate President
Ben Musa quipped Tuesday
that Gov. Mark Hatfield's
friends "should give their
money to the Salvation Army
rather than wasting it on a
vice presidential campaign in
1964. He hasn't got a chance,"
Musa said.
