Adenauer Sees Peril
In Delayed Rearming
By the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, Mar. g.
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer declared tonight
that Stains death will cause
increased political unrest and
dangerous insecurity in the
world. But he urged the free
nations to combat this by speed
ing up their efforts for unified
defense against communism.
Mr.. Adenauer gave this broad
cast message to a country split
by an iron curtain forged by
Stain and which has for years
been a leading cold war battle
ground. Asked by a radio inter-
viewer what effect the Soviet
leaders death and a possible
struggle for succession would
have on world affairs, the chan
cellor replied:
"A heW leader in Soviet Rus
sia will mean a great new un-
known factor in the political
equation. 1t will mean in
creased unrest in the world. and
more dangerous insecurity than
before.
I'VE must wait and see what
time brings-but we must not
wait with Our hands folded in
our laps. No matter what hap
pens on the other side of the
Iron Curtain, on our side we
must get on with things. The
free world dare not just sit idle
and look with fascination at
Moscow"
For his part. Mr.. Adenauer
said. he is going to press for final
parliamentary ratification March
19 of West Germany'S treaties
to rearm and join the proposed
European army to help defend
itself and the rest of Free
Europe.

Poland Demanding
Danes Return MIG;
Pilot Not Important
BY the AssoeiGtsd Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
Mar. Sin a tough note to
Denmark, Poland today de-
manded the return of a
Russian built MIG is jet
fighter plane in which a Polish
pilot fed his Communist-ruled
homeland. Warsaw asked for
the pilot back, too. but said he
was not so important.
The daring air force lieu
tenant landed his plane-the
first MIG-15 ever to fall un-
damaged into Western hands
yesterday on a hazardouSly
short runway on the Danish
island of Bornholm.
AS he climbed shakily out to
ask for political asylum. the
blond, 21-year-old Pole-whose
name was not disclosed-kept
repeating three German words:
"Kommunismus kaputt - asyl
communism is finished -
asylum.
No Decision Reached.
The Polish note was delivered
to the Danish foreign ministry
this morning. by Polish Minister
Stanislaw Kelles-Krauz, who yes
terday demanded that the plane
be returned. Informed sources
said the cabinet discussed the
note at a closed meeting but
reached no decision.
MY government insists that
the plane must be returned to
Poland" KelleS-Krauz declared
I'VE want the pilot. too. but he
is not so important"
The Polish envoy described the
wording of his country's note as
very earnest, you could say
tough"
Plane Examined.
Danish and British air experts
from Copenhagen were giving
the plane a thorough once-over.
Within a few hours after the
plane Whizzed from behind the
Iron Curtain, these experts were
tearing the craft down to learn
its secrets.
A high political source said
the plane undoubtedly would be
returned to Poland.
LAS I see it," he declared, the
case is a simple one. There
seems no doubt that this pilot
is not a spy. When there is
satisfactory evidence that he de-
serves to be granted asylum, the
plane will beyond any doubt, be
returned to Poland"
The pilot arrived in Copen-
hagen today from the Baltic
island on which he set down his
speedy jet. Guarded by police
intelligence agents. he was
whiSked to police headquarters
for questioning.
He repeatedly told police that
his flight was not based on fear
that his safety was endangered,
but because conditions in Po-
land ARE intolerable."

Postpones Action on
kenilWo1h Bridge

A House District subcommittee
today heard testimony on four
minor bills. only one of which
was controversial, but postponed
action on all of them until an
executive session is called.
The controversial measure is
one authorizing the Potomac
Electric Power Co. to build a
railroad bridge at Kenilworth
avenue NE. to bring coal to its
Benning plant. It provoked
strong support and opposition,
similar to that presented recent
ly before a Senate District sub
committee.
The bill was approved by the
Senate District Committee
When called up on the Senate
floor it was objected to and re-
manned on the calendar for fu-
ture consideration.
Testifying for the bill were
James Francis Reilly. attorney
George Bisset. vice president. for
the power company, and Irving
Bryan. assistant corporation
counsel, who said the Commits
sioners had no objection to the
bill. Public Utilities Commits
sioner Robert Mclaughlin sub
mitted a letter approving the
measure.
Opposed by Capital Transit.
Opposing the bill was John B.
Ecker, vice president of the Capt.
tai Transit Co. who said elimina-
ton of the company's track on
Kenilworth avenue would SUBJ
stantially destroy Capital Tran
sits business in this area"
j. Mayo Rector, president of
the East Washington Railway
Co., told the subcommittee if the
transit company's tracks were
eliminated the railway company
would be deprived entirely of its
present, service of hauling coal
for the plant.
Samuel Harrison, deputy di-
rector of highways, explained
with the use of a large map the
commissioners plan for Develop
ing Kenilworth avenue as a part
of the new road pattern to bring
both the Annapolis freeway and
Baltimore parkway into the Dis
trict. Elimination of the Capital
Transit Co. tracks on Kenilworth
avenue, he said, is part of the
plan.
Witnesses Okay Bills.
Three minor bills which al
ready have passed the Senate
were approved unanimously by
all witnesses before the subcom-
mittee. The three Senate bills,
identical with measures intro
duced in the House, would mod
ernize the charter of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co.; modernize
the life insurance law. particu-
larly relating to accident and
health policies; and amend the
insurance code to permit a life
insurance agent to sell accident
and health policies without TAX

Action Urged on Bill
To Permit Hospitals
To Accept Addicts

Representative Miller, Repub-
lican. of Nebraska, today urged
the House Commerce Commit
tee to set an early date for
hearings on his bill to give the
Public Health Service hospitals
authority to accept dope addicts
committed from the District for
compulsory treatment.
The compulsory hospitaliza-
ton bill, which was strongly
urged by The Star, won Con-
gressional approval and went
to the White House earlier this
week. ..-
Now, the authorization bill is
needed, DR.. Miller explained, to
make the disqualification bill
work. ..
DR.. Miller told newsmen he
found Commerce Committee
members impressed with the
Importance of the Public Health
Service measure.
Under present laws. the Pub
lie Health Service can't hold
District addicts unless they are
sent to it's institutions after
conviction of a crime. They
can accept-but not hold-vol-
untary patients from the Dis
trict. Addicts committed under
the disqualification measure
would not be voluntary patients.
nor would they be there because
they had committed a crime.
That, DR.. Miller said is why the
Public Health Service needs au-
thority to admit and hold them.
At sponsors day hearing
before the House Committee.
DR.. Miller said a number Of
States are interested in compul-
sorry treatment of addictS and
the authorization bill would ap-
ply to all of them, as well as the
District.

Europe. $100 million: from mill
tary aid to the Near East and
Africa, 500 million; from

The cut in the Special
weapons" fund and on ocean
freight correspond to cuts the
Senate Committee made, but the
Senators made no cuts in straight
military aid to Europe or the
Near East.
Both committees left intact
the more than 81 billion of mill
tary aid for friendly nations in

the fight against communism in
Indo-China, and the $250.5 mil

Montgomery Council
To Hold Hearings
On Budgets Tonight

| The Montgomery County
Council will hold a public hear
ing tonight on the proposed
health. welfare and public safety
budgets.
The hearings will begin at 8
pm in the Circuit Courtroom,
Rockville. -.-
The chief controversy is ex-
pected to be over the $316,562
budget recommended for the De-
partment of Health by former
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr.
DR.. V. L. Elliott, director of
public health. had asked for
$408,149 for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /. some Is per cent
more than received for the pres
ent year. Mr.. McNayr slashed
the request below last years
$324.567.
The chief target of the Nc
Nayr economy ak was funds for
salaries, which the former county
manager cut by $4,000.
Mr.. McNayr granted the We'll
fare Board its full request of
$257,551, which was only about
SIT, 900 more than was received
by the board this year.
For the department of public
safety, Mr. McNayr recommended
$1,044, 1926 This was $4,000 less
than the department received
this year and some $66, 900 less
than requested by Director Ar
thur E. Miller.
The McNayr budget provides
no appropriation for civil de-
fense. He recommended similar
action last year, but the council
overruled him and allotted $780,
600 for this Office.
Although the McNayr budget
recommended no cut in police
personnel or salaries requested,
it made no provision for putting
the police on a half
day week, as had been sought
earlier this year by Councilman
Harold F. Hammond.
