On the instructions of worried West Berlin officials, workmen last week were stringing lines of barbed wire along its boundaries. There were fears that curious West Berliners, poking around in the ruins, might be crushed by the crumbling walls of the old Haus Vaterland dance hall, which stood near the station ruins, or blown up by unexploded bombs and artillery shells left there since World...
