stories involving a monk who
had left the church. There were
seven reasons for that, he said,
but the first was that he was
thrown out, so there was no use
going into the other reasons.
There are all sorts OF reasons
against preventive war, includ-
ing moral considerations, the
President went on. But, he said,
when it lis SO completely un-,
thinkables there is no use, going
into them.
AS for the q. NJ, Gen. Eisen-

all major nations as members, in
which to discuss our differences.
He added that he clearly re-
allies that the u. N. has be-

our only hope is to improve the

: DR.. John said he was not a
Communist but politically inde-
pendent. He said he has dis
carded all secret intelligence
work and will not engage in it in
the East.
Only last week the West Ger
man government offered re-
ward Of 100000 marks-$119, 900
for information that would
clear up DR.. Johns sensational
disappearance. Asserting that he
was being held in the East
against his will, the Bonn gov
ernment also asked the three
Western Allies to appeal to the
Russians for his release.
DR.. John made his first public
appearance since he crossed to
the Red camp % days ago at an
elaborately staged press gather
ing in the East Berlin press CEN

was invited.
The press conference shaped

participated in the anti.Nazi
putsch against Hitler's life but
escaped repriSal by fleeing to
Spain. His brother was executed
for a part in the abortive plot.

anniversary of the putsch to

He mentioned specifically that

looks much better and he is
