'Long-awaited day has arrived' By Ray Moseley eicago Tribune BERLIN East Germany on Thursday night opened both the Berlin Wall, the most dramatic and bitter symbol of the Cold and its border with West Germany to all of its citizens for the first time in 28 years. Thousands began streaming across to a delirious welcome in the West.

West Berliners, drinking champagne and cheering wildly, greeted the first East Germans to cross at Checkpoint Charlie and other crossing points through the 103-mile-long wall that was built across and around the city in 1961. They hoisted East Germans, including smiling communist border guards, to their shoulders and cheered them repeatedly. They hugged and kissed. They danced on the wall and used hammers and-chisels to break chunks of concrete from it as souvenirs. At Checkpoint Charlie, a crossing normally reserved for foreigners, East German police made no attempt to keep their own people from using it.

The West Germans sent special shuttle buses to the other side to collect jubilant East Germans for a trip to Kurfuersten-damm, the glittering street of shops in the heart of West Berlin. "Can you believe this is happening?" exclaimed Angela Eber-tus, an East Berlin clerk, as she and her husband strolled through Checkpoint Charlie early Friday morning. "No," he replied. "No, this must be a dream." The emotional scenes at the checkpoint, where more than 2,000 West Berliners gathered, were repeated at all 12 crossing points in Berlin. Early Friday, huge traffic jams developed in the center of West Berlin as the curious flocked to the wall.

Some East Berliners were reported to have climbed over the wall, unhindered by border guards, at the Brandenburg Gate, the heart of Berlin as it existed before 1945. There were similar reports of a human flood through checkpoints all along the East-West German border. "The long-awaited day has arrived," West Berlin Mayor Walter Momper exulted. "The Berlin Wall no longer divides Berliners." In Washington, despite almost universal surprise, the Bush administration didn't want to give anyone the impression it was gloating. "We are handling it in a way where we're not trying to give anybody a hard time.

LJLU By Charles M. Madigan There is no modern piece of symbolism, no barbed-wire border, no prison cell that carries more powerful meaning than the 103-mile wall that surrounds West Berlin, separating a small island of democracy from the stormy sea of communism around it.

It is 13 to IS feet high, made of concrete and topped in some places by razor wire. It has self-firing guns and booby traps, guard towers and spotlights powerful enough to illuminate every inch of the no man's land it circumscribes. At the height of the Cold War, it was the place that produced powerful images of what communism was actually like, from dramatic photos of border guards hurdling barbed wire to cold, black-and-white news pictures of victims sacrificed in a desperate run toward freedom. Since its construction in 1961, the wall has served as the final barricade for as many as 191 people who died trying to escape, according to estimates from West German human rights groups. Its existence was proof that, given the chance to leave, few people would opt for life in a communist world.

Getting out was worth risking everything, even life itself. nism trapped deep in communist East Germany. For the East Germans on the outside, it is an ever-present reminder that when a war ends, the spoils collected by the victors often include the souls of the defeated. More than anything else, geography and timing that placed them behind Soviet lines determined the course of their lives. Although updated and reinforced many times, the Berlin Wall is the product of another' era, when the superpowers were testing their strengths on a playing field still raw from the carnage of World War II.

President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev were in a bitter contest of wills in the summer of 1961. Kennedy was frustrated by the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba and felt Khrushchev had upstaged him during meetings in Vienna in June. He left those sessions full of apprehension about the Russians, who were insisting on their right to back "wars of liberation." Khrushchev was deeply con cerned about West Germany' growing military and economic power and its alliances with West ern Europe. The ailing East Ger See Wall, pg.

By Pat Widder Chicago Tribune NEW YORK When all the bloodletting is done on Wall Street this year, almost 50,000 fewer people will be gainfully employed in the securities industry than there were at the peak of the roaring '80s bull market. The layoffs these days, two years after the Oct. 19, 1987, crash, are taking on the attributes of Chinese water torture.

They just keep coming, a little here, a little there, prompted by the Street's continuing efforts to cut costs in an industry that has never recovered from the crash. This week, Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc. and Drexel Burn-ham Lambert Inc. confirmed they were letting more people go. Observers predict there will Be other cuts in the coming weeks and months.

On Thursday, Chemical Banking Corp. signed an option to move at least 3,000 employees to New Jersey. The bank, citing the high cost of New York real estate, said it will keep only a small headquarters1 in Manhattan. New York is expected to bear the brunt of the cuts, though the extensive networks of branch offices maintained by big firms have not been exempt. (Illinois, for example, is the headquarters of only about 30 securities firms, See Wall Street, pg.

Bayh issued an executive order that overhauls Indiana's waste management program by April, 1991 focusing on the growing tide of waste exported by Northeastern states to the Midwest. "In recent months, the national solid waste crisis has brought new and more serious threats to the well-being of the people of Indiana," Bayh said.
