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.”’ ‘FED UP WITH STATE’ Another one,’ about the thoughts of a worker in the) All this promises a revolution post. ‘‘They were laying. the imaginery village of Buckow, jin everything ftom drink ing ‘napalm right on the (barbed) teflects Biermann’s ‘own posi- jhabits to family life. wire,”” \ : j 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 }> eat breakfast.
