a matter, in plain truth, of Israeli
ideas coming forward when fresh
ideas were badly needed and
these ideas winning out over
others because they were superior
ideas. Always wary of taking too
much of the spotlight, because of
the relative smallness of the
country they represent, the Israel
delegates have tended to discour-
age over-publicizing their efforts
in the Korean affair, rather than
the opposite.
A good example of these points
is the latest delegation initiative.
For weeks it has been clear that
a new period requiring intensive
diplomatic activity to solve the
Korean problem had arrived. u.
N. military forces had returned to
the offensive, were moving back
up the Peninsula and the politi-
cally strategic element of the 18th
Parallel was back in the picture.
The last U. N. attempt to cross
the Parallel and conquer North
Korea had ended in fiasco. There
was no reason to assume that the
prospect in this connection had
improved.

oMony IFS ond'Buts' Involved
Tentative Agreement Would Give Germany Her Sovereignty
Yet Observers Doubt Can Be Achieved in Near Future

The foreign secretaries of the
United States. Britain and
France, after extended CONVEX
Sations with Germany's Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer. have
reached a tentative agreement
to give the Federal German Re-
public her sovereignty in
theory. There are so many
'bftsv and "ifs" involved that
some observers doubt that this
can be achieved in the near
future.
In spite of the friendly atmos-
phere in which the discussions
were held, the representatives of
France and Germany still stand
by their old positions.
Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman, supported by Secre-
taries Acheson and Eden, agreed
to a technical sovereignty. a new
diplomatic shibboleth. 1t pro-
vides that the occupation of
Western Germany would be
ended nominahy and the high
commissioners would become
ambassadors accredited to the
Bonn government, The Ger
man government would send
full -f1edged ambassadors abroad.
But all this is dependent on
Germany agreeing beforehand
to participate with important
military contingents in the
NATO force and also ratif1ca-
tion by the parliamentS of all
Western nations which partici-
pated in the defeat of the Reich.
Adenauer is willing to pledge
his country in the common de-
tense of the West but insists
that the German people must
have some tangible proof that
Germany's full sovereignty will
be established. Otherwise, he
says. the German parliament,
where he has only a question:
able majority, will not approve
the formation of a new army.
AS things stand, this limited
sovereignty would come into
effect only after the Germans
have pledged themselves to join

The complaint said the COM

rate for bricklayers in the Ann

was WSB's first important en-
forcement case, and officials said
payment of the higher rate had
an "unstabilizing" effect on wages
in the Ann Harbor area.

said that, when the contract to
build the hospital was first OBJ
tanned, he was unable to hire
bricklayers at the hour

to sit in on a conference to de-
termine what to do about it. He
said he received no reply from
the wage board.
Later, Mr.. Hedin said, he asked
WSB, by letter, whether he would
"be doing anything wrong" if he
