German Upper House
Stalls on Treaties, but
Adenauer Spurs Plan
By the Assoeioied Press

BONN, Germany, April "a
West Germany's Upper House
postponed indefinitely the rati-
fication of the treaties to rearm
today but Chancellor Adenauer
said he was going ahead to make
the main sections law anyway.
He said he would hand the
treaties which create a European
army with 100000 rearmed Ger
mans enrolled and make a peace
contract with the West, to the
West German President for sig
nature despite the fact they have
not been approved by the
BundeSrat, or Upper House.
The Bundesrat voted 20-to-18
to delay ratification until the
West German Supreme Court
rules on Socialist objections that
the European Army pact is un-
constitutional. The court previ-
ously had refused to rule on the
pact until it had been ratified.
Will Push Measure.
Chancellor Adenauer told a
news conference he had right
to go ahead and make the
treaties law because:
l. The popularity elected Lower
House had approved them.
2. The main sections do not
require approval by the Upper
House anyway. He will hold
back two sections which do re-
ouire it's approval. These deal
with financial support for the
troops.
3. The Bundesrat could not, on
its own request, get the legal
opinion it wants from the
Supreme Court, so there is no
use in waiting.
The Bundesrat voted delay as
ministers of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization met in
Paris and urged early ratifica-
ton.
United States Secretary of
State Dulles warned the NATO
ministers yesterday that unless
assurance was forthcoming by
June 80 that the army treaty
would be ratified by the six pro-
spective member nations, it would
be extremely difficult to get the
United States Congress to vote
much money for NATO defense.
West Germany's lower house,
the Bundestag, so far is the only
legislative body to have ratified
the army treaty. Chancellor
Adenauer had hoped the Bundle
srat would complete the approval
today and make his Parliament
the first to meet the American
wishes.
Court Refuses to Rule.
The Bundesrat vote came on a
motion by representatives of the
key state of Baden -Wurttem-
berg, which holds the voting bal
ance of power in the house. 3
The Supreme Court already
has refused to rule on the trea-
ties constitutionality until they
are ratified, contending that
without legislative action, there
is no ground for a court test.
Baden Wurttember's Govern
or, DR.. Reinhold Maier, moved,
however. that the government
and both Houses of Parliament
should join in asking the court
for the advance ruling.

Joe Adonis Indicted
On Charges Of Lying
AtKefauver Hearinq

Joe Adonis, nationally known
gangster, was indicted today by
a District grand jury on two
charges of lying to the Kefauver
Committee.
The true bill charges that
Adonis, whose real name is
Joseph Doto, perjured himself at
a hearing December IL, 1850. by
asserting he was born in Passaic,
N. j., and by claiming he was a
native-born citizen.
Assistant United States At
torney William Hitz said Adonis
was born in Italy in 1908 and
entered the United States six
years later with his mother and
three brothers.
Adonis is doing time in the
New Jersey State penitentiary at
Trenton for running a gambling
house.
He also faces a three month
sentence for contempt OF Con-
gress and is under indictment in
Bergen County, N. j., on charges
of perjury relating to a New
Jersey investigation Of water
front racketeering.
During the Kefauver Commit
tee hearings, witnesses rated
Adonis No. 2 among the Nations
criminals. Frank Costello. an
other alien who is also in Jail,
was ranked No. !.
KelIuver investigators charged
that the two men operated a
Nationwide syndicate with a
board of directors as efficient as
any corporation. and dealt in all
types of vice and crime.
The indictment disclosed that
Senator Kefauver. chairman of
the Crime Committee, personally
administered the oath which
Adonis is charged with violating.

must be the pace-setter in
NATO. 1t would be impossible,
he predicted, to sell Congress on
a faster rate of buildup in the
United States than was taking
place in Europe.
So far as he was concerned,
Mr.. Dulles added, Europe would
never be militarily defensible
without German troops. And the
could see no way OF rearming
Germany safely without inter-
grating her forces completely
within general European force.
He himself, said the Secretary,
was opposed to the recreation
OF a German national force,
which might once again men
ace the peace of the world.
Mr.. Dulles said he was not
satisfied with the rate of prog
ress that has been made to-
ward ratification of the six-na-
tlon treaty. But he added that

At best the injection of the

meeting Is certain to stir up
controversy and dissension at a
time when most people are
earnestly plugging the theme of
Western harmony. At the worst
it threatens the whole military
buildup which Western Europe
is trying to maintain.
