The East germans have been giving More people permission to leave said Interior ministry spokes Man Hans gun Thor Kowalski. Kowalski refused to speculate on the reasons for the increase in escapes. But Rainer Hildebrandt chairman of a West Berlin human rights group said escapees often say they iad no future in East Germany. There seems to be a prevailing conviction that despite some fundamental changes for the better such As More opportunities for Short visits in the West democratization and free movement cannot be expected he said. Ironically Hildebrandt says a West German practice of quietly buying the Freedom of several thousand East Ger mans each year May also contribute to the escapes. The risk of having to wait for an indefinite period of time to emigrate is larger than the risk of a failed escape attempt that ends in prison and the Chance of being bought out in eight to 18 months he said.

Still the number of East germans who flee across the Fence and guarded Border Between the two countries is Small. So far this year Only 85 have succeeded. Most escapees take a safer route through a third country such As Czechoslovakia or Hungary and Cross unguarded parts of those Borders into West Germany or Austria Hildebrandt said. Their escapes arc often unpublicized
