Big Three Will Study
West German Demands

BONN, Germany. Feb. 8 (P.-
West Germany's list of demands
for helping the free worlds de-
fense against Communist aggres-
sion tonight appeared headed for
study by the Big Three.
The Bundestag dover house)
voted approval by a margin OF
204-156 last night for a govern
ment plan eventually to recruit
German troops for the proposed
six-nation European army. 7
The vote was taken only on the
principle of the proposal and the
Germans attached stiff conditions
These include an end to Allied
occupation, full sovereignty for
Germany. an equal voice in West
eyn strategic councils and release
&C many German war criminals.
Allied officials predicted the
German demands will delay a
peace settlement with the Ger
mans and set back plans for
merging German troops into the
proposed European army.
These officials said the Foreign
Ministers Of Britain, the United
States and France. at their Lon
don meeting February 16, will have
to study the demands and. decide
on a common policy for bringing
the Germans into the Western
defense system.
The Foreign Ministers probably

A hero in the conquest Of
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is
retiring from the United States
Public Health Service to "help
fight cancer in the sticks"
He is DR.. Roscoe r. Spencer. So.
of 1920 Twentieth street NV. He
risked his life helping to develop
the first vaccine against spotted
fever, the tick-borne disease which
once was the scourge Of Western
Istockmen. While it is under con-
troll today, the malady still occurs
at times in virtually every State
in the Nation.
Although Spencer has a place
in medicines hall of fame for his
work on spotted fever in the early
t1920s, more than q third of his
81 years in the Public Health
Service has been spent in the
field Of cancer-both as a re-
searcher and as director of the
National Cancer Institute from
1943 to 1947.
Now, in his retirement" he'll
remain in the cancer field in the
role of Circuit rider" as he calls
it. through his native State of
Virginia, giving lectures on cancer
to family doctors in out-of- the
way places.
Will Act As MiddIeman.

Dr.. Spencer himself has had
first hand doings with some of the
wiliest gangsters of the germ un-
derworld. In his early days with
the health service he helped trace
sources of typhoid, and in 1919
he was the No. / trouble shooter

Out in the Bitter Root Valley
of Western Montana, where Rocky
Mountain spotted fever had been
taking a heavy toll since settlers
came in 1872. things were
different.
No one had any idea how the
disease developed. Natives called
this mysterious malady "black
measles" They believed 1t was
due to drinking melted snow
water.

United States Public Health

establish a monumental finding
that the disease was in some way
associated with bites by the tiny
ticks which infested the woods.

France Will Demand
Guarantees Against
Rearmed Germany
BY the A.soeio,ed Press

PARIS, Feb. 9.-Before giving
many more concessions to West
Germany. France is preparing to
seek American and British guar
antees that rearmed German
nation will not provoke war with
Russia.
The new French government
under Premier Edgar Faure has
such strong convictions on this
subject, it was learned today, that
it will risk prolonged debate about
it with its allies.
This position is an old one IN
the inner councils. but only now
is it being brought out by the
French as major reason for their
insistence on keeping firm control
over Germany's actions.
The French cabinet spokesmen,
Informed administration sources
said today, will make the govern
ment's position very clear Monday
when debate starts on approval
Of the principle Of the European
army. Into this army six nations
will bind all their continental
forces-Germany,. France. Italy
Holland. Belgium and Luxem-
bourg.
Yesterday by a relatively mar
row vote, the West German. re-
public approved = in principle =
entry into the European army.
This army scheme was devised by
the French as a means of prevent
ing creation of an independent
German army free to be used by
the West German government in
its own diplomatic maneuvers.
Monday. the French parliament
goes through the same operation.
although a vote is not expected
before Tuesday or Wednesday.
A spokesman said that in his
speech Monday Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman would take intol
account" the concessions wantedl
by Germany as a condition to re-
AIMING with the West.
The French want British and
American guarantees of support
IN the event Germany, havingl
drilled its new army along with
other member armies, might
choose to pull out and go its own
way. What France most fears now
Is that West Germany. in. a reck-
less desire to bring Russian-occu-
pied Germany back into the fold.
might seek to do it by force.

No Violation Found.
Those two aliens as well as Mr..

Ipreme Court mainly on the ground
that expulsion from this country
would deprive them of liberty and
property without due process of
law. and that it also would violate
their constitutional rights of free

having joined the Communist
Party prior to enactment Of the
1910 law. In every instance, the
Supreme Courts opinion today
found that such rights were not
violated.
The dissenting opinion, written
by Justice Douglas with Justice
Black concurring, declared that an
alien who has long lived in this
country and is "assimilated in our
society" must be treated as a citi-

liberty are concerned.

supported the United States dur

retary of State.
In 1912, Batista returned to
Washington for a state dinner.
He was the overnight guest of
President Roosevelt at the White
House. He addressed the House
Of Representatives and toured de-
fense plants. He had no trouble
settling down in Daytona Beach
when he fell into political exile
temporarily.
