Chancellor Adenduer Is ReuIist
Pilot Of Germans Ship of Sote Expects to Push Through
ControctuoI Agreements With West in Few Weeks
Constantine Brown:

BONN. Germany (By MaiD.--
Germany's Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer believes that life be-
gins at 10. He is 76 years old,
has piloted the difficult course
of the new German republic
through heavy waters, and
aspires to achieve for his
country equal rank with the
other free nations before he
relinquishes the helm. This
task will require his remaining
In Office for q second term Of
four years.
The German elections will be
held next June and Adenauer
once more will be a candidate
with fair prospects to be re-
elected. He hopes to retire for
the "rest Of his days" at 81.
This unfailing optimism has
contributed to q large measure
Of his success in plotting Ger
many'S ship of state.
The main task confronting
the chancellor at this time is
the ratification by the West
German parliament of the con-
tractual agreements signed by
the Allies last May. The op-
position and a number Of his
own supporters in the Bunde-
stag have been baking because
of the French insistence on
separating the coal-rich Saar
permanently from the German
republic. Adenauer intends to
negotiate with the French as
long as possible. In the mean
time he has convinced most of
his critics of the necessity to
ratify the two contracts not
later than the end of this
month.
Adenauer'S main argument is
that now and in the future Ger
many must look to America for
cooperation. Since the Amer
ican Senate ratified the peace
agreements months ago there
is no reason why Germany
should not do the same. The
actions of the parliaments of
the other NATO countries with
whom Germany hopes to CO.
operate are their own business
and do not affect the decisions
Of the Bonn government to,
have Herr Adenauer's signature
honored by the representatives
Of this republic.
The new lease on political life
which Adenauer has now gained
is due in no small degree to the
death of his most bitter oppon-
ent. the Socialist leader Kurt
Schumacher. an able leader and
q spell-binding though vitrolic
speaker.
The premature death of Schu-
macher left the Socialists with
out leadership. The recently
elected chairman Of the party,
Erich Ollenhauer, is a good Or
ganizer Of unions but not a par
ticularly inspiring personality.
The spokesman Of the Social
lists in the Bundestag will be

Of his friends familiar with the
American campaign describe as

Candidate Eisenhower Declines
General Puts Visit to Press Car Off the Record After
Revealing inclination Not to Discuss His Finances

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 1o.-Gen.
Eisenhower sauntered into the
press car Of his train last Sun
day. accepted a beer, replied in
answer to questions that he was
not then inclined to discuss his
personal finances in public, sud-
denly put the entire visit of the
record, and retired to his private
car.
About a week before, his press
secretary. James Hagerty, had
been quoted as saying. "Since
there now seems to be a public
interest in his financial situa-
ton the general will get his
records together and. am sure,
will issue o statement later"
This was the day after Gov.
Stevenson had disclosed his in
come tax returns for the last
10 years.
Intensive effort by the re-
porters aboard the Eisenhower
train-this columniSt wasn't
has failed to dislodge this inter-
esting story. Their Illustration
is further compounding their
generally unsatisfactory rela-
tionS with the candidate.
Reporters may beat their
wives, hack at the jug, and dis
play similar anti-social tenden-
cies as individuals, but there
are very few who do not run a

that does not go over with the
German workers. They admire
him as a gentleman" who Is
one of their party but rarely
understand his sarcasm and wit.
His admirers who have groomed
and selected him as the spokes-
man of the Socialists in the
Bundestag have failed in their
efforts to make him address
himself to the minds and even
the prejudices Of the people as
politics in this day and age de-
mand.
Under these circumstances,
Chancellor Adenauer expects to
have smooth sailing when he Of
fers the contractual agreements
to the parliament in the next
few weeks. Neither he nor his
party nor the opposition like
the French attitude in regard
to the Saar. But he and most
German political men feel
strongly that once the United
States Senate has ratified the
two treaties it would be i'll be-
coming for the Bundestag to
turn them down or delay their
ratification for an indefinite
period.
German politicians are often
realistic. especially after their
country has suffered hard
knocks. Unlike the political
leaders in Great Britain and
France, they regard the Russian
threat as serious either in the
immediate or near future. They
mean to do their best to con-
tribute to the strengthening of
the present military coalition.
For this reason, they quickly
agreed to integrate the IL divi-
sions they were asked at the
Lisbon conference to organize
for the NATO army at a cost of
over So billion to the German
taxpayers. There we're many
here who wanted them to be q
national army just as the Am
erican and British troops in
Europe are now. But in order
to hasten the organization Of
that force and also to show
their neighbors that they har-
Dor no aggressive intentions,
they agreed that the army-to-
reformed would be an integral
part Of an international force
under American command.

Billion Dollars Lost in Taxes
Truons Failure to Use Tot-HortIey Act in Steel Strike
Proves More Than Costly to Treasury, Study Shows
David L0Wrence:

II somebody took $500 million
in currency out of the Treasury
of the United States and burned
1t up, the American people
would boil over with indigna-
ton and demand that some
body be punished for such wan
ton destruction Of the taxpay-
ers' money.
Yet President Truman, who
by his failure to use the law
Congress gave him caused a loss
in taxes now estimated for the
steel industry and its workers
alone to be $500 million, is get
ting the cheers Of the populace
as he spends his time campaign
ing for a vote Of approval.
The actual sum lost to the tax
payers of the United States for
the year 1852 by reason Of the
steel strike is probably close to
a billion dollars. This means
that tax receipts will be deficient
by such an amount and that the
Federal Government would have
been that much better off if the
President had averted the steel
strike. The American taxpayer
must sooner or later pay a bill
lion more in taxes.
Senator Byrd Of Virginia q
few days ago sought the exact
figures from the steel companies
engaged in the strike and he has
made available to this CORES
pondent the data he received. It
shows that $601.8 million of
revenue was lost by the United
States Treasury as a conse-
quence Of diminished profits Of
the steel companies, and that
approximately $50 million was
lost to the Government in the
withholding taxes from STEEL
workers which could not be col
lected because wages weren't
paid.
These figures, which total ap-

tractual agreements by the
Bundestag does not mean that
the present blueprints will be
translated into effective combat
forces. France and the other
Western European allies must
do the same before the German
army becomes q reality. But
Chancellor Adenauer intends to
keep Germany's skirts clean and
show the United States that
this country. If permitted by the
others. will keep her part Of the
bargain.
There are many experienced
observers in Germany who are
skeptical about the stand q
number Of Western European
allies might take in the event
of a Soviet military aggression.
The idea prevails in many parts
west of the Rhine that the pres
ent conflict Is one between
America and the U. S. 8. r. into
which Europe may be dragged
unnecessarily is not in the least
shared by this country for sew
eral reasons. One reason is that
Russia still occupies one third Of
Germany and does not intend to
let loose. The Soviet menace
also is considered here not as q
fight primarily between Ameri-
ca and the u. S. S. r. but q
struggle for preservation Of hu-
man freedom.
And the Germans Of today
have had their fill and the nee

ance with newspaper owners.
This is a circumstance that
must never be confused with the
job Of the working press. It is
generally believed around Gen.
Eisenhower that the sensitive
area on income-tax returns Is
not the general. but his run
ming mate. Senator Nixon. They
must act in concert. of course.
II they are to dispose Of the
matter as an issue.
The Eisenhower-Nixon situa-
ton was much more strained
than was generally realized at
the time. Some very sharp talk
passed between their respective
aides. Here. in the Senator's
State, the general has been
pleasant but not effusive about
him. This may in part be due
to the continued presence of
Gov. Earl Warren. who does not
like Senator Nixon and privately
did not approve Of his expense

Another story still buried in
the Sunday conference Is Ke's
version Of whether he did or did
not delete a reference to Gen.
Marshall at Senator McCarthy's
request In Milwaukee. They had
some conversation about Gen.
Marshall, nothing much. It Is
still a contradiction Of Senator
Mccarthy.

press car as the Valley of the
Shadow.

ON TOUR WITH GEN. Ell

other look, after an absence, at
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's
campaign at this stage before

AS for his campaign manner,
In the technical sense, 1t Is OBJ

more comfortable man now on
the political platform. He reads
his lines much more effectively
than when he began his new
career with whose jargon he
clearly was so unfamiliar. He
makes good use Of his fine. res

ing grin is a handy asset. both

OF late he has become adept
at tossing off the quick invec-
tive, lapsing into the more fami-
liar barrack-rooms style Of
speech. Into this he has been
provoked. according to those
who have followed him. by the
barrage President Truman has
been laying down against him
clear across the country.
Whether the Kansan will be
able to match the Missourian
in this particular department is
something we must wait to see.
There are nearly four weeks to
60, and Mr.. Truman does not
intend to let up on the Cen
eral. He is really serious about
that. as We who followed him
across the country learned.

the series of concessions and
compromises made by Gen.

Since then. on this trip. the
general has given his blessing If
conditionally, to Senator Joe

Such compromises cannot but
be corrosive.
What President Truman calls,

Taft G. o. P. Old Guard is the
most striking impression, when
taking another look at the Ell

juncture. It is manifest in the
tone and content Of his speeches,
especially on foreign policy. and
in his loose and ready use Of the
easy cliche. such as atheism"

can do without that. even as
campaign talk. It is not worthy
Of the general.
In it there is the fearful
drumbeat Of intolerance.
How Gen. Eisenhower has sue
cumbed to Old Guard influence
Is manifest also in domestic
policy. notably most recently In
his discussion Of his attitude
toward the Northwest's great
public power and reclamation
projects. as at Seattle.

Philip Murray. head of the steel

that the President made a COM

December 1851 pledging that
the Taft-Hartley Act would not
be invoked. Hence the President
gave away his leverage and the
Treasury of the United States

revenue through the mishan-
ding of the whole affair.
What recourse do the Ameri-

The only answer that has been
suggested is to hold the existing
administration accountable by
denying the party in power a
continuance in Office irrespective
of the merit Of the candidate
chosen to succeed an irrespon-
sible President. The opponents
of the Truman administration
are already saying that a vote
for Stevenson Is a vote for Tru-
man, and, of course, that's the
theory on which the President
is campaigning. for he is asking
for approval Of his record by
the voters on November 4 next.

proximately $3.50 million, do not
take into account the tax losses
to the Treasury from companies
that do not make steel but either
transport it or supply raw ma
terials for the steel companies.
Nor does it take into conSidera-
ton the tax losses to the Gov
ernment among companies that
fabricate steel.
Economists estimate that the
Federal Treasury lost in 1852 by
reason of the steel strike a mini
mum of 81 billion. The States
lost tax money, too.
Somebody has to make up the
lost taxeS-and it can't be the
steelworkers or the steel COM
panies. There was a loss In taxes
also because Of a diminished
profit among companies engaged
in national defense work whose
costs went up as they waited
for steel.
All in all, the steel strike was
not just damaging to the COM
panieS and the workers who lost
huge sums, but it put the big
gest dent in the Federal income
that any labor dispute has made
in our history.
Senator Byrd wanted to know
how much Of the loss in taxes
arose after the President re-
quested Congress to tell him
what to do and after Congress
had passed a resolution urging
him to use the Taft-Hartley Act.
The answer given the Virginia
Senator is that the tax loss was
just about half of the total reve-
nue. lost. because the request
from Congress came about half
way in the strike period.

time to invoke the Taft Hartley

The basic trouble seems to
be that the general still has to
learn the difference between

which the public Is entitled

Candidate Eisenhower has not
held q real press conference for
