The ADJ committee found
school supervisors eager to Crap
pie with the problem, modern
teaching techniques and many
new and fine texts for social
studies and civics classes covering
the history of the past 20 years.
But it also found that these inno-
vations meet great resistance,
particularly among the senior
teaching group. The authoritarian
spirit prevails in the schools and
most teachers approach the teach
ing of recent history with emba1
rassment so that, in effect, their
teaching stops with the Bismarck
era. In addition, the survey team
reported, perhaps half of all
teachers were once Nazi Party
members, even though some of
these may have joined in order
to keep their jobs. Teaching
about the Jewish prosecutions is

The Israeli German restitution
program, pensions and resolutions
for Jews in Germany and govern
ment subsidies for Jewish COM
munal services were instituted by
the Adenauer regime despite a
lack of outspoken support from
the German populace, the ADJ
group says. But the tragedy of the
Hitler period has been taken SER

by the German people, and Israeli
representatives advised the ADJ
group that Bonn authorities have
been not only corrected but help

With very few children or young

6. - Among Germans anxious
for a democratic nation, there is
concern over the reconstruction of
a German national army.
A prominent political leader
told the ADJ group: ''We need at
least 10 more years to eliminate
the spirit of aggressive militarism
that has dominated Germany for
a century before we can safely
have a national armed force that
will not seek to dominate our
political life" On the other hand,
armed participation in the Euro
pean Defense Community is re-
garded as providing the safeguard
of being part of European army
defensive in character and as an
essential in the face of aggressive
communism.
Mr.. Alison, chairman of the

territorial division that some of
the western allies were talking
about. Most specific of these-a
plan offered by Premier Laniel
to the French Assembly last
March-called for an extensive
Communist retreat to fixed
areas, leaving all important stra-
tegic points in French hands.
The Communist plan was a good
deal less precise. But as generally
understood. it involved yielding
at least the entire northern half
of Vietnan to the Reds, includ-
ing the French-held city of
Hanoi and the Red River delta.
Perhaps because of the obvious
difficulty of harmonizing these
proposals. the Communists have
recently leaned toward the idea
of political rather than terri
torial settlement. The most re-
cent reports hint at Red offer
for an immediate cease-fire, to
be followed quickly by elections
under neutral supervision in all
three of the associated states,
and formation of coalition
governments.
Communist strategy in this is
clear enough. They would be
gambling on winning virtual
control in Vietnam ,and of los
ing-at least for time being
in Laos and Cambodia.
From the Communist point
of view, this plan has many at
fractions. If their calculations
are correct, it would give them
quickly and painlessly the major
objectiVes for which they are
now fighting a costly war to
gain. It would also give them
a crushing propaganda victory
if the people of Vietnam voted
them into political power.
In addition, it would be very
hard for France to turn down

The blast could herald a con-

Republicans during the last cam

retary of State Dulles that the
United States had not suffered
defeat at Geneva, where Sec
retary Dulles was unable to win
immediate British participation
in allied united action" to save
1ndo-China from Communist
aggression.
Senator Gillette blasted the
administration with this barb:
Our Indo-China policy, what
ever it was. is non-existent
today"
The Iowa Senator, a member
Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. criticised the administra-
tion for not insisting on taking
the Indo- China problem before
the United Nations.
I'VE will live to regret this
failure to use the machinery of
the United Nations" he said.

Indo-China will have to come

not be the United States that
