WORLD SPOTLIGHT

Skepticism Seen Menace ToE.GermanCommunism|}

The AP World Spotlight reports from Rerlin on a possible drive to bridle re- bellious writers ‘and artists in East Germany, It also re- ports on the elimination of the siesta in Chile and on the techniques of battle. in South Viet Nam.

BERLIN (AP)—Beat music, bare bosoms and .a brooding ballad singer” are targets’ in ‘East Germany. A drive to bridle rebellious writers and artists is expected to get into full swing

“ goon with stepped-up indoctrina-

thon and _a likely .reshuffle in party’s: cultural hierarchy. drive comes as West Ger-

mans are still trying to figure out what was really behind the recent suicide of Erich Apel, na- tional economic planning chief. Even some avowed supporters of communism seem gripped by

doubts as to whether the regime |

is on the right path.

Consequently skepticism is seen by ideological sleuths as the chief. current- menace to German communism. A young writer - singer has been exposed as representative of the skepti- eal group. He is Wolf Biermann, whose trademarks are a guitar, a stinging pen and a drooping moustache. Seaway

Biermann, whose Father was killed in the Nazi purge of Ger- man Communists, cannot be gauged by cold war cliches. He endorses the Communist. future but is critical of its present.

One of Biermann's broody bal- lads addressed to-party veterans @ves this way:

“The present -- sweet goal for you after all those, bitter years—is only a bitter beginnisig for me—it calls for a change.”’

tion: ‘‘He is for socialism, and |

for the new state, but he’s fed up with the state in Buckow.”’

The verses were published re- cently in West Berlin: No East

German publisher was willing to take the risk. | Biermann is particularly pop- ‘ular among younger East Ger- mans whose sophistication, some analysts feel, keeps pace with increases in the country's liv- ing standard. :

Such Biermann lines as ‘“‘in

jthe bunkers of my skepticism I |

‘am safe against the radiant bril- liance of the bigots’ have made the rounds in.other East Euro- pean countries among people disputing” the maxim that ‘‘the jparty is always right.”’

The East German party be- \came. alarmed, In:.1963_ it ousted Biermann from the party, where he held candidate or first-stage membership. Now it has ‘de- icided this was not enough. Erich Honecker, often called the crewn prince of party chief ‘Walter Ulbricht, has denounced Biermann and his like.

The* ballad writer, Honecker charged at a central committee meeting, has betrayed the Com- munist state and personifies “petty bourgeois skepticism \that is negating life.’ And Bier- mann’s “anarchist behavior: and ecynicism'’ were shared by other writers and artists.

The decree on the new system of ‘hours specifies ‘that bars and restaurants must close between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The mandatory 5 p.m. closing, \the abbreviated lunch period and the earlier .starting time add up to disaster for the res- taurant business, in the opinion of one owner. - “What ean we serve in a half- hhour?’”’ he e-sked. “A sandwich ‘isn't a Chilean _meal.That‘san American meal—and the Ameéri-

cans can live on it because they }>
