...Helpless!" In Berlin the police did not, could not have interfered with the departure of the 15 because they knew all about them, knew that each girl is of age and legally competent to decide where she will go with whom...

There the Canadians assembled their planes and flew them towards Teller. They undoubtedly can jump the wall...
