Tightrope Walker Swings Hand-Over-Hand On Cable To Freedom In West Germany BERLIN (UPI)-An East Cer man tightrope walker told today how he inched to safety along a high-tension cable into West Ber lin in the near-zero darkness of a night during Christmas week. Horst Klein, 36, felt free to tell "his story because the Communists are believed to have discovered and blocked his hazardous escape route. Klein broke both arms and suf fered other injures. A West Berlin fireman eventually rescued him. half-frozen, from the icy waters of a border river. He spent some time in a hos pital, but has now been dis charged. The daring German said he dis covered his spectacular csca route by chance. He was trying to find some way In slip past lied guards on the ground when he ran into a power pole in the dark. Under cover of darkness, he scrambled up the pole until he could sec the cables leading across the border. "I knew I must not touch the cables while I was still holding the mast, or I would be electro cuted," Klein said. "I sprang out ward and caught huld of a big porcelain insulator. "I saw the border below me. Searchlights were shining, but I was in darkness. . . Hand over hand, I began to inch along the cable." When his hands stiffened in the 12-dvgree cold, Klein managed to sw ing up into a sitting position on the cable. He slid along toward the next power pole, he swung from an insulator and jumped to the metal frame of the pylon to rest. Then he resumed his toilsome progress. He nearly reached the next pole before his strength gave out and he fell to the ground, breaking his arms and knocking himself out. Snow and darkness concealed him both from the Reds and from West Berliners who would have rescued him. Although lie was already in West Berlin, he was still within PAGE 6-A IIKRALD AND NKWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. .Sunday, February 3, 1963 i 4 if . ' .
