U. 5. Pledges Return
OF $50 Small Ships
To West Germany
By Gornett D. HorneF


The United States plans to
return to West Germany $50
small ships which were conf1s-
Gated after World War II.
This was disclosed as Presi-
dent Eisenhower and West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer prepared to wind up to-
day three days Of conferences
here aimed at strengthening
American friendship.
A communiQue announcing re-
suits of the conferences was ex-
pected to be issued late today,
after the final session scheduled
for the White House at 1890
pm.
Aid for Refugees.
officials reported that a semi
final meeting between DR.. Ade-
nauer and a gorup of American
officials headed by Secretary of
State Dulles brought these de-
velopmentS late yesterday:
l. The West German Chance1-
lor was assured of sympathetic
and friendly consideration of
his plea for aid in meeting the
relief needs of thousands of
refugees flowing into West Ger
many from behind the Iron
Curtain.
2. American officials promised
to look into the matter of grant
ing pardons to some of the
more than 800 German war
criminals still imprisoned under
United States custody.
1t was at the end of yester-
days meeting that DR.. Adenauer
was told the $50 vessels assigned
to the United States as repara-
tionS after the end of World
War II are to be returned to
Germany.
Ships Rented to Germans.
Of1cials said the vessels,
valued at approximately 500
million when new, actually have
been used for the benefit of the
German economy for some time.
They have been rented for Ger
man use for nominal fees.
The new arrangement will
transfer title Of the vessels back
to the Germans.
The vessels involved were said
to be mostly small coaStwiSe or
harbor craft, including tugs and
barges.
DR.. Adenauer brought up the
refugee problem, pointing out
that his government already had
strained its resources by spending
Sc billion in helping to care for
the refugees from communism.
He suggested American aid un-
der the Mutual Security program,
or possibly through an interna-
tional refuge loan.
He was told the United States
could make no specific commit
ments until after the entire for
eign aid program is submitted to
Congress next month.
Talks at Press Club.
DR.. Adenauer took time out
from the official discussions yes
terday to address a National
Press Club luncheon.
In response to questions there,
he said there must be free elec-
tions in the Saar to give the 800,-
coo people living in that area
say as to their future before a
settlement of the French German
dispute over the Saar can be
reached. @
He has promised American Of
ficials that serious attempt to
settle the issue with France will
be made soon.
The West German Chancellor
also told questionerS that he be-
lieves unification of all Germany
will be made possible eventually
by continuance of the buildup of
Western defenses. He said he be-
lieved a time will come when
Soviet Russia, in the face of
Western strength, will be pre-
pared to negotiate settlement of
such issues.
DR.. Adenauer. who arrived here

ton tomorrow for San Francisco.

Where are the ld-fashioned
men?" women will often ask me,
and, where are the old-fashion-
ed women?" men will just as
often ask.
This would probably perplex
men very much were it not for
a remark made by my grand
father, at the age of 81.
Don't ever listen to that stuff
about the good old days." he told
me. 1.-THE only good days are the
present days, but each generation
that comes along gets mad at the
present, and raves about how
wonderful the past was. The
modern young people that we yell
about today will soon be the old
folks who go on about how fine
everything was in the old days
"It's harder. though, on the
women" some women will tell
me. adding: 1--WE used to be ex-
pected to stay home and take

My experience, however, has
led me to believe that things are
just as hard for the men. Modern
business expects them to have
vastly more education of q spe-
cialized sort than they ever
needed before. Competition is
stronger, the pace is faster, and
the whole operation has become
much more complex. So many
workers are involved that no one
man can. at the end Of the day.

and the occasional individual
does. But venture to say that
our times demand no more resil-
fence, flexibility or adjustment
than any other times have. When
you feel like complaining about
our changing times, stop and
consider what a bore it would be
If you knew you were going to be
in exactly the same position, with
exactly the same things expected
Of you. every single year for the
rest of your life.
If you do this, you will find
yourself even beginning to well
come the changes. At least, while
there is change, there is hope!

Problems
Today

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I mar
ried recently. and we are now
living in my wife's home town
Several years ago she had Q
common-law marriage with q
fellow here, and it's rumored
that she had a baby by him
There are also several other men
here whom she dated. This
makes me very jealous, espe-
cially as I see these men con-
stantly. She says everything in
the past Is over and done with
and that she made a fresh start
when we. married. She certainly
is a wonderful wife to me, and
mother to the children Of my
first marriage. I love her very
much. and want our marriage to
be a good one, but I can't get
over the fear that she'll revert to
her old life. This is a small town
so I can't ignore things, and
refuse to be pushed out and
move away.

of your dilemma would be to

StropIess Look Out

Copeland of Pattulo feels
clothes this coming season are
getting a SD" treatment. She
feels that sleeve lengths are
undergoing great changes.
To her the long tight sleeve
with a decollete neckline is twice
as glamorous as any strapless
connection and in a fashion sea-
son where one sees SO much OF
glowing, rich velvet. opulent
jewelry trims. laces. fur accent
ing, one can't help but agree
with the way so many OF the
knowing designers are leaving
the fabrics alone in simple, but
striking designs to tell the
fashion story. Shots Of color
pick up the straight silhouettes
coming via big sashes in brilliant
reds or blue. A yellow-green
is a wonderful change on black
crepe or wool dresses from the
sad pale pinks and blues of the
past. At the Copeland showing
fashion editors saw for the first
time a silver jersey cocktail dress
whose surface shimmered beau
tifully and provided us with a
new fabric texture.
Most of the new things women
will discover are designed to
f1atter a woman's curve. Nat
uralness is the big factor. But

a number of the fashions that
have a "pellon" foundation
built into them. This interfac-
ing is the latest love of the gar
ment industry and gives SHAPE
where shape was meant to be

might think it would look better
in order to really put over" an

nent solution is to face the prob
lem and conquer it, but this. Of
course. Is the most difficult way
out. What you need is a long
discussion with a family coun-
selor, who can help you look at
the problem objecetively, point
ing out the obvious defects in
your own reasoning. Space per-
mits me just a brief survey
of these facts. You have abso-
lutely no complaint about your
wife's present conduct. She is
an admirable stepmother, a de-
voted wife and homemaker. She
admits her mistakes of the past,
assures you that marriage has,
as far as she's concerned, wiped
out every memory of previous
alliances, and opened to her a
new way of life. What you must
build up in yourself is faith in
your wife and confidence that
you effected the change in her.
Discredit rumors: you "have
heard" that she had a child be-
fore she married you, but it's
only a rumor. Settle the point
with your wife, not with Stran-
gers. The men she once dated
are probably married themselves
by now, and as oblivious to for
mer romantic leanings as is your
wife. When you see them, greet
them as you would any other
neighbor. Remember that prac-
tically every girl dated other boys
before she was married. Ro-
mances of the past cannot spoil
a marriage held together by
faith.

Of many suits, dresses and coats
he describes as q ''chalice" look.
In the department of amplifica-

fine in chiffon wool and at Her

makes the grade this season also.
