Vienna, July 12. The spy fever, which has raged in the Iron Curtain lands of Eastern Europe since the end of world war two, is going as strong as ever.

From the radio, the newspapers and the speeches of Ministers it can be gathered that trials are taking place almost daily of people accused of being sples. But in the provincial press, which is barely seen outside the borders of the country con cerned, such reports are even more plentiful.

OUTLOOK

FOR MANY

EAST REFUGEES

By Gary Levey

Berlin, July 12.

There are in West Berlin today some 37,000 healthy people whose prospects of a normal, happy life are so remote that many of them prefer to return to Communist-ruled East Germany, from which they fled, rather than continue to face a future without hope.

They are the "B class refugees," people whose reasons for fleeing from home are not considered suffi- ciently compelling to give them the A class grading of "recognised political refugees."
