Unity mEurope

European unity is q mar
riage of convenience, not a
love match" Belgian Foreign
Minister Paul Van iceland
pointed out here last week.
The European nations are not
moving toward integration be-
cause they are enthralled by
the deep-blue eyes of their
neighborS, but because they
have to stick together in order
to maintain their way of life.
Last week, the lower house
Of the German Parliament
faced up to the loveless liaiSon
and voted for ratification of
unity, 224 to 165. The treaty
will have tougher shedding
in the upper house, but
an adverse decision there could
be overridden by the Bundles
tag. Then it will be tossed to
the Federal Constitutional
Court to see If it squares with
the Bonn constitution.

With the stream Of East
German refugees into the
Western sectors of Berlin now
assuming flood-tide proper
tions, Chancellor Adenauer's
West German government
continues to broadcast appeals
to their Soviet-dominated
countrymen to remain in East
Germany, lest their places be
taken by Asiatics imported
from Outer Mongolia or Soviet
Central Asia. Even the Com
munlst-controlled East Ger
man government-apparently
alarmed-made promises of
amnesty" to all escapes, yet
they pour across sector and
zonal boundaries in increasing
numbers.
Up to a short time ago,
refugees from the East were
of the middle and upper
classes. Then, recently. high
government officials started
fleeing purges within the gov
ernment. Simple folk like
shopkeepers, laborers, farmers
and white-collar workers
Joined the exodus as national
ization of business and agri-
culture was stepped up.
The latest to start showing
up in the refugee lines are
young men - the cannon
fodder who would have to man
the rifles in an expanded
Peoples Police"
IdeoIoey Secondary
A study of thousands Of case
histories supplied by escapes
both from East Germany and
other Iron Curtain countries
reveal that ideologies as such
play a minor role in the deci-
sion to escape. However, un-
derlying each motive for
escape, no matter how much
each motive may differ from
all others, is a refrain common
to all: Resistance to the
regime.
Compared to the rest of the
Iron Curtain that hangs
heavily across Europe, Berlin
is still an oasis from which an
aerial journey to the free
world can be undertaken. The
people of Eastern Europe, or
of the Soviet Union itself, are

from Iron Curtain countries.
So far a total of $4.3 million
made available last April has
been used in this program.
The eScapee reSettlement
program aims to help the
escapes find new homes in the
free world. It is preferred that
they seek to settle in some
country other than Germany,
inasmuch as German refugees
from the Eastern zone already
create a problem Of integra-
ton. Nevertheless, if no other
country wishes to accept the
eScapee, an effort Is made to
integrate him in the German
economy, which, due to its
continuing expansion in recent
years, is able to absorb most
Of the influx.
Setup in Greece
In Greece the eScapee pro-
gram. operating through the
Greek Red Cross and other
humanitarian organiza t lions
such as the World Council Of
Churches, has a setup similar
to that in Germany. No at
tempt is made to integrate the
escapee into the economy Of
Greece, but all efforts are bent
to secure viSas to foreign
countries outside of Europe.
AS in the escapee centers in
Germany. the border-crosser
is furnished medical facilities,
is provided with expert coun-
selling by social workers and is
given an opportunity to enroll
in language training under the
direction of q language spe-
cialiSt from Johns Hopkins
University. About rs percent
of the people who intend to
resettle are taking short
courses in English, Spanish
and Portuguese.
Australia, Canada, New Zea-
land and some Latin Amer
ican countries are taking sub
Stantial numbers of refugees.

gee program. Those coming

Both Houses of Congress Are Working Diligently
To Get D. c. q Deeqdte-in the Other Chonber

All Congress is divided into
two parts and each would love
to see the District have a nom
voting delegate in the other.
That's the way the Delegate
situation appears at the mo-
ment.
First the Senate passes q
bill for a Delegate without a
whisper of dissent - because
the Delegate would be in the
House.
Then comes Rep. Abernethy,
Democrat, of Mississippi with
a bill for such a Delegate in
the Senate.
Commissioner Renah Ca
mailer thought it would be
nice to have a Delegate on
both sides. Commissioner F.
Joseph Donohue nailed the

the Abernethy bill:
