Bonn to Puppet GrotewohI

with the 1ull support OF MS Social Demo-
cratic opposition, Chancellor Adenauer'S gov
eminent at Bonn has given the right kind of
answer to the Communist East German regimes
latest proposal to discuss the holding of free
elections" throughout the partitioned country.
The answer is fiat mo-" without any "ifS,"
"butS" or "maybes," and it could not have been
otherwise.
This is so because the proposal-which
amounts to nothing but repetition of old
propaganda previously rejected by Bonn-is
entirely unacceptable for a number Of obvious
reasons. The most important of these is that it
runs absolutely counter to the Anglo-French-
American move inviting the Kremn to join in
an autumn meeting of the Big Four Foreign
Ministers to discuss first steps, including free
elections" toward the Identification of Germany
under a single and genuinely independent
government.
Fully aware of this invitation, and I'M
doubtedly on instructions from Moscow, the
East German Red regime of Premier" Grote-
wohl has asked instead, that the Big Four stay
out Of the picture and that his and Bonns
representatives meet by themselves in an effort
to work out an agreement on staging country
wide vote. In reply. emphasizing that the
decisions on such a vote can be reached only
by the occupying powers the Adenauer govern
ment has said mo" not merely for that reason
but also because the Grotewohl setup is simply
one of the KremlinS phony fronts. AS such, it
does not have the slightest right to speak for
the people of the Soviet zone, and hence 1t Is
in no legal position to negotiate on anything.
The illegitimacy of the Grotewohl regime
is of course undeniable Unlike the Bonn gov
eminent, it has not been put into office by q
free vote of the people. 1t exists solely as
Moscow'S creature and agent-a puppet tyranny
forcibly imposed upon the East Germans and
incapable. by itself, of governing them or sur
viving their RIGHTEOUSNESS. Certainly, as q
spokesman for Dr. Adenauer has said, 1t would
have long since collapsed If Soviet armed
forceS-which have once again moved into the
Red sector of Berlin to control the FESTIVE
maSSeS-were not on hand to save 1t from being
overthrown. Yet it is this thing, this political
fraud that has proposed meeting between
itself and West Germany's legitimate authorities
to discuss the issue of free elections"
Needless to say, such proposal-which has
come directly on the heels Of the Vests call
for a Foreign Ministers meeting-would not
have been made If the men of the Kremlin
had. not ordered it, The development thus
suggests that their response to the invitation
is likely to be negative because they are afraid
of free elections" in Germany and have no
intention at this time of agreeing to any other
steps designed to reunite the country as q
truly independent land associated with the
Atlantic community.
It seems significant at any rate, that the
East German Communists have acted as they
have Immediately after the Anglo French
American bid to Russia. The Adenauer gov
eminent has responded in exactly the proper
way. If there is to be any answer to the Vests

swer all these questions con-
corning some of our more
common plants next week..
Last week l asked if you
were confronted with a
blooming buzzing bundle Of
confusion every time you
sat down to rest. Even tho
you might not have thought
of the new baby in your
home as such I am sure that
you will agree this is just
about the best description
that could be bestowed on
the little darling. This term,
incidentally, 1 picked up
from one of the sayings of
one of our prominent psy-
chologist I can't remember
just who now.
To you new and expectant
mothers, I hope the term
was not taken too seriously
because even though baby is
buzzing and confusing it is
blooming into one of the
most precious creatures on
earth and you are by now
beginning to rely on your
own common sense as to do
away with the confusion bit
by bit, but there are still a
great number of problems
to be solved, Grandma, sis
ter, neighbor and friends
seem to know all the ans
wers and you seem to be in
their estimation the dumbest
mother on earth. Don't feel
this way. Be happy in your
new adventure. Baby under
stands one thing from the
beginning of it's little exis-
lance and that one thing is
love from you and only you
can give it. Don't let the
various bits of advice YOU
receive keep you so busy that
you don't get a moment to
coddle it a bit.

a visiting nurse to come TO

Knowing how to make precision
parts for automatic washing ma
chimes may not be absolutely neces-
sary in order to bake q chocolate
cake but it helps according to For
rest M0reland, a foreman in the
largest washing machine factory in
the world. The difference is that he
only bakes as hobby.
Moreland uses practically the
same efficient assembly-line meth
DDS for gathering cake ingredients
as he does for turning out the vital
and precise mechanism of Whirl-
pool washing machine. The final re-
suits IN each case are proud ex-
ample of craftsmanship.
In the nearly 80 years that Mr..
Moreland has been associated with
washing machine manufacture he
has learned the secret Of precision
in quality production. In his own
kitchen he follows the same
methods.
A chocolate cake starts at one
end with an empty bowl. AS it
moves along the kitchen assembly
line" toward the oven, proper in
gradients are added from nea. wall
bins and shelves. While the cake is
baking the "sub-assembly" job of
preparing the frosting goes on.
Here is one of Mr.. Moreland's
Secrets" on how to remove cake
that sticks to hot tins: Apply a
cloth soaked i'm cold water to bot
tom of hot pan. The cold causes
pan to contract and loosen cake

sions might create a morale
problem.
Many airmen were reported
wondering what would happen to
their careers in the service if.
in a future war, they were cap
tured and were unable to hold
out against torture. This is par
ticularly true with air crews of
the Strategic Air Command
which in wartime operates long
range bombers deep over enemy
territory.
Proposals Considered.
Proposals being considered in
clude:
/. Make it known that air
crews are in possession of no
information of real military use
to the enemy and that any state
ments wrung from them would
be pure propaganda.
2. Provide them with only the
bare, essential informal tion
needed for a particularly mission.
Keep from them all information
relating to future operational or
strategic plans or any detailed
technical data.
3. Amend the regulation
which has its source in the in
ternational rules of land war;
fare-that prisoner shall give,
even under compulsion. only his
name, rank and serial number.
The theory is that if a man has
no information of value, he
should not be bound by a rule
which can be seized upon as an
excuse for torture.

"We were made to stand with

approximately four and a half
hours. AS a result of this ex-

he's getting too old to take care

Sergt. Carey H. Weinel of
