Kayser Urges Swap
.0fU, ). Zone Of Berlin

A suggestion that the American
zone of Berlin be traded away for
concessions which would strengthen
the American position in Europe
was made yesterday by DR.. Elmer
Louis Kayser, history professor and
dean of university students OF
George Washington University, at
the independence Day exercises OF
the Association of Oldest Inhabi-
tants Of the District of Columbia in
the Old Union Firehouse at Nine
tenth and H streets NV.
At the end of a talk contrasting
the Declaration of independence
with the Communist Manifesto, DR.
Kayser said:
ut might easily be the part OF
wisdom to consider giving Russia
control of Berlin on a sound basis
Of quid pro quo in exchange fol
concessions which would be fal
more advantageous to us ir
STRENGTHENING our position than
tenuous hold on a fourth of Berlin
enclave within a Russian zone.
Berlin with its Potsdam tradi-
ton reeks with an offensive Prus-
sianism. 1t would hardly be the
center around which we would want
to build the new democratic Ger
many, even if we controlled it ano
we do not. Frankfurt represents a
more wholesome tradition in Ger
man culture, a saner tradition in
German history. Around it we are
building a newer. and we hope bet
ter, Western Germany. Well miiht
we in good Yankee tradition swap
meaningless Berlin but only for
valuable concessions elsewhere and
when we wish it."

On October "a, 1774, less than q

ladies drew up covenant which
they signed to the effect that none

u. 5. Not StockpiIing
Uranium, Report Says;
Storage impractical

i The Nations stockpile Of critical
war material is growing bigger, but
it includes no uranium because that
raw material for atom bombs is
too difficult to store.
!: The Munition Board, in a report
made public last night said uranium
and II other strategic materials
pose problems Of storage such as
to outweigh the advantages Of stock
piling them"
1t defined materials to be stock
piled as those required for essential
uses in war emergency "the pro-
curement of which in adequate
quantities, quality and time is suf-
hciently uncertain for any reason
to require prior provision for the
supply thereof"
Principal American sources of
supply for uranium were listed as
the United States itself, Canada and
Great Britain.
Stockpiles "Out Of Balance"
The board listed 81 other mate
rails, ranging from agar to zircon,
''for which only stockpiling can in
sure an adequate supply for future
emergency"
''The existing stockpiles still are
badly out of balance, although the
situation has improved in the past
six months and is steadily showing
further improvement" it reported.
'"The present policy Of more aggres-
sively pursuing the objectives in the
case Of scarce materials will result
in decided improvement over the
next year."
The gross value of all 'stockpiIe
objectives" was listed now as $3,4O2,-
997 900. OF this goal only $597 ,OO0,-
600 worth was reported on hand,
with another s252 ,0OO, 900 'in sight"
The balance of s2,554, 900 900 is ito
be purchased"
Because of rising prices the report
limited that the dollar estimate for
the stockpile goal may have to be
| raised
Buying Setup Expedited.
National security now requires
accelerated stockpiling," the board
commented.
Described as "non-confidential
supplement" to an earlier conf
dent report, the document made
public last night gave no details
regarding amounts of specific ma
terials involved in the stockpiling
program.
Thhe board has tried to carry on
the program without upsetting the
civilian economy. It remarked that
national security now must come
first in view Of unsettled interna-
tional conditions. Purchase pro-
cedure has been expedited, it said,
to make is possible to snap up within
an hour or so any material coming
