Gov. Egan Says He’s For
Domestic Peace Corps
JUNEAU —Gov. Egan said he
thinks a domestic Peace Corps
would be “immensely beneficial in
starting sizeable elements of Al
aska’s population on the road to
greater things.”
Noting that the Peace Corps pro
gram has been a decided force in
strengthening and maintaining the
free world, Egan said:
’It is no more than good logic
that we should extend the same
helping hand and the same oppor
tunities for improvement to those
in our own nation who have sim
ilar problems.”
Egan said there are areas in
Alaska where citizens of Indian,
Aleut and Eskimo origin, as well
as other rural residents, need the
help and training that a domestic
Peace Corps could provide.

jAerialist Escapes
East Berlin Sliding
On Power Cable
BERLIN W — It was quite a
feat anyway.
Sliding along on the seat of his
pants, an East German trapeze
artist fled over the heads of Com
munist border guards into West
Berlin on a power cable.
The cable normally carries 110,
000 voltage — but West Berlin
police said it long had been out
of use when Horst Klein, 36, made
his escape Dec. 27.
But Klien did not know that at
the time.
Klien said he “could hear hum
ming and had tickling sensation in
my seat”—but apparently this was
psychological because the police
spokesman said there was no pow
er in the cable.
A professional trapeze artist,
Klien was banned from appearing
in East German circuses because
he was an outspoken anti-Com
munist.
“I couldn’t live any longer with
out the smell of the circus in my
nostrils,” he told newsmen.
On the night of Dec. 27 he
climbed a steel power pylon on
the Communist side of the Berlin
wall and leaped to the big porce
lain insulator on the cable.
What was running through his
mind—and probably gave him the
sensations he reported feeling —
was “If I touched the tower and
cable at the same time, I could be
turned to ashes.”
From the insulator, Klein eased
himself down onto the cable and
slid 70 yards on the seat of his
pants to another insulator, then he
jumped to a second tower.
Klein was above the beams of
the border searchlights.
Past the second tower, he slid
another 30 yards. In an effort to
lower himself into the Western
zone he missed a handhold and
plunged 40 feet to the ground,
only a few feet beyond a clump
of bushes marking the border.
Klien came to three hours later
and shouted for help. A woman
heard him and called West Berlin
police.
In the fall he broke his arms.
His story came out after it ‘be
came know that the East Berlin
police had learned of his escape
route.
