The Reds still shoot. Since the wall went up Aug. 13, 1961 the 14,000 East German Juards have used their weapons )99 times, have killed at least 55 persons fleeing to the West and lave thrown 1,898 tear gas grenades into the western sector of the city. The 1,750 West Berlin policemen whose beat is along the barricades have shot back 13 times, lilted at least two eastern guards in exchange Of fire and have thrown 1,625 gas grenades. Guards Escape More than 3,000 East Germans iiave escaped through the wall, including 427 guards in uniform.

PRINCE HIRO MARKS 5TH YEAR IN TOKYO TOKYO (UPI) Prince Hiro celebrated his fifth birthday today with a cake baked in his pal ace home by his mother, the commoner daughter of a floui mill executive. The kindergarten prince, hei: to Japan's throne received his relatives and friend in Togu palace, where he live with his father, Crown Princi Akihito, and his mother, Crown Princess Michiko. Hiro Is the only child of the crown and second in line to the imperial throne after hi father. Court attendants had plannet to drive the prince to the impe rial palace to pay his respects tc lis grandparents, Emperor Hiro tiito and Empress Nagako. Bu the visit was canceled becaus Prince Hiro is recuperating from a cold.

West Berlin police have seen 1,925 persons apprehended as they tried to escape. The figures were released by West Berlin Deputy Mayor Heinrich Albertz. He said that despite the shooting, he believes his police's "Operation Kindness" has been partially successful. Albertz, in charge of the West Berlin police, says that far fewer refugees are escaping these days because Red security has been tightened. Yet more and more of those who do get through are not wounded or shot at.

In exchange for cigarettes and chocolate, some East German guards give West Berlin police information about their units' activities. Some pass over their home addresses in hopes of becoming pen pals. Albertz fears that such letter exchanges will soon cease. Word has seeped through the wall that letters, to East German guards Fairfleld county branch of the must be opened and read in their Connecticut chapter, Natlona presence by superior officers. Multiple Sclerosis society, at the annual meeting recently in Southport Congregational church HIT-RUN CAR INJURES STRATFORD MAN, 82 An 82-year-old Stratford man was in "fair" condition but still on the danger list at Bridgeport hospital this morning with injuries received yesterday at about 6 p.m.

when he was ap-! parently struck by r. hit-and-run car on Broadbridge avenue in Stratford near the Stonybrook road intersection. Taken to the hospital after he was discovered crawling in the road by a passing motorist was 1 Anthony Pugllse of 857 Nichols avenue. Attendants at the hospital said he received head injuries. Police said Mr.

Puglise was apparently crossing Broadbridge avenue on his way home from a drugstore when he was struck by the car and thrown to the pavement. Attendants at the hospital said he received head injuries. The driver of another car, Anthony Fudge Of 475 Oceanvlew avenue, Stratford, saw Mr. Pug- list crawling In the road and notified police Police Mid there were no witneiiei to the accident. Take Care The West Berlin police must take extreme care that the recipients of the gifts are not seen by "comrades." If caught, the eastern -guards get stiff jail sen tences.

The majority of the eastern wall guards are chosen for their jobs only if they are married or have relatives in the Red satellite who could be made to suffer should they defect to the West. Albertz said wall guards who have escaped recently reported the East Germans plan to reinforce the wall and make It impregnable. A new section of concrete was just added to the 9-mile stretch already standing. Alberlz said the Reds evidently want to clear a 110-yard stretch of land along the frontier and dig a huge trench in it to hinder the flight of refugees. Behind (he trench will probably be a high barbed wire fence.

And a highway will run alongside the fence so motorized patrols cm move more rapidly.
