BERLIN (AP) - Walter Ul-
hricht’s retirement from the di-
rection of East Germany’s rul-
ing Communist party raises
questions of major importance
about the future of the two Ger-
manys, but no one in the West
knows the answers yet...
Will tflbricht’s successor as
party first secretary, Erich
Honecker, take a softer stance
toward West Germany? The
Bonn government is likely to
probe cautiously to find out.
Will Soviet demands in the
Big Four talks on Berlin ease’
Some observers believe Ul-
bricht’s pressure on the Rus-

Will West German Chancellor
Willy Brandt's campaign to im-
prove relations between his
government and the Soviet bloc
regimes meet with more suc-
cessnow? Brandt’s government
had accused Ulbricht of block-
ing the desires of other Com-
munist governments for ties
with Bonn.
What will happen to the Ber-
lin Wall, one of Ulbricht’s most
conspicuouslegacies? Will West
Berliners be allowed more ac-
cess to relatives and friends in
East Berlin and Eait Germa-
ny? —
How will East Germans react
to the shelving of the Commu-
nist world’s most prominent
Stalinist? Will they be harder
to handle? ”~
Herbert Wehner, one of
Brandt's chief aides who knew
Ulbricht before World War II
when both were Communist ex-
iles, once predicted what would
happen when Ulbricht passed
from power: 7 ” '
‘At first the party leaders
will rally around the new man.
There will be an uncertainty
and there will be no quick ex-
periments. But after a while,
after they have seen if they can
handle things without Ulbricht,
who knows what they will do?
No one can tell.”
Ulbricht, the architect under
Stalin of the East German state
and a founder of the German
Communist party half a centu-
ry ago, resigned Monday from
his all-important party post.
Age was given as the reason;
he will be 78 on June 30.
The party Central Committee
named Honecker, 58-year-old
secretary for security and an-
other hard-liner, to be first sec-
re tar y-and created the new,
largely ceretnonial post of par- ,
ty chairman for the spade-
bearded, bespectacled old lead-
er. Ulbricht also continues to
be chairman of the state coun-
cil, or East Germany’s presi-
dent.
Ulbricht stepped down with-
out gaining his primary goal in
22 years of trying. He failed to
get his regime the international
recognition by the West-and
especially by West Germany--
whieh he squght so hard to ob-
tain. - ■ «
This alone indicated that Ul-
bricht no longer was able to
carry on. There was specula-
tion that he was too ill to con-
tinue, or that the Russians
helped ease him out.
As recently as March last
year, when Brandt went to Er-
furt for a meeting with the
East Germans, the East Ger-
man people showed their dis-
pleasure with Communist rule.
Despite intense police meas-
ures, there was an outpouring
of public sentiment for the
West German leader.
Ulbricht by contrast was the
most unpopular leader in the
Soviet Bloc, at home and
abroad. But the Soviet Uniorr
has about 20 divisions in East
Germany and it has expressed
confidence in Honecker. The
latter, who became heir appar-
ent through leadership of the
East German youth and then of
the security forces, has a tough
guy image of his own.
Honecker is hy birth a West
German, bom in the Saar. Re-
garded as an ice-cold tactician,
he was the No. 2 man behind
Ulbricht as head of the security
apparatus, with influence far
beyond that of Premier Willi
Stoph.
A Communist since the age of
10, Honecker spent World War
n a prisoner of toe Nazis.He
became a member of thoGom-
munist party Central Com-
mittee in 1950 after five years
