BERLIN SWIFTLY RISING FROM BOMBED RUINS
(N.Z.P. A.—Reuter—Copyright.) (10 a.i11.) UOXDOX, Doc. 10. Berlin today is not the city that was smashed to the ground under the weight of explosives equal to !];') atom bombs, says the British United Press correspondent in Berlin.
It is beginning to rise again. The Theatres are crowded and there are queues at cinemas, night clubs turn away customers and restaurants in the less-damaged areas display menu cards listing as many as 30 dishes. Displays of clothing, jewellery, furniture and radios are of a quality and arrangement that they would not look out of place in Bond street. With merciless efficiency and commercial instinct unmatched in Europe, the Germans have been cleaning up Berlin. So intense has been the work of reconstruction that it takes a sharp eye sometimes to notice where buildings have been patched.
