Restoration Proposed
OF Lincoln House
IAf Soldiers Home

Restoration of the summer
White House used by Abraham
Lincoln on the Soldiers Home
grounds Is the aim of a group
that met here yesterday.
Capt. Edward Page CASTOR,
Of TITS Massachusetts, avenue
NV. national commander Of
the Patriotic Guard of America,
said a legislative proposal to ac-
complish this is now being
drafted. He said it will be intro
duced soon in Congress.
Capt. CASTOR said the summer
White House, now known as
Anderson Cottage and used as a
dormitory by some of the resi-
dents of the Soldiers Home,
would be restored as nearly as
possible to what it was when
MIR. and Mrs. Lincoln occupied it.
He said Illinois furniture of that
period and other historic objects,
some owned by the Lincolns,
would be placed in it.
Capt. Gaston-as part of the
program-envisions "in front of
the cottage a new statue of
Lincoln on the imposing scale
of the st. Gaudens monument
in Lincoln Park. Chicago" He
said a large mural, showing
Lincoln astride his favorite gray
horse and escorted by 80 or more
cavalrymen with drawn sabres on
Pennsylvania avenue is planned
for the main cottage room.

that West Germany accepts now
probably would not be enforce
able for long after the aging Mr..
Adenauer disappears from the
political scene. But the United
States is willing to take the adj
mittedlys terrible risk.
Under Edo West Germany
would have supplied IL divisions.
Under the budding new plan for
German rearmament, the Ger
mans would supply at least as
much. They would have to be
equipped with American weap-
ons. And by the time IL divi-
sions are completed, the allies
could reappraise the situation to
decide whether further expan-
sion was advisable. O.,
France stalls Again.
France additionally. has been
the big-army country Of Europe
The, other allies feel, however,
that French manpoWer is not
nearly sufficient in the present
world situation. This is due at
least partly to the fact France
has not recovered economically
or inspirationally the way West
Germany has since World War
III ended. - - '''S 81 '~
If France tries to stall Ger
man rearmament further, the
United States and Great Britain
will 60 ahead with the rearma-
ment plans even without the
French. The United States and
Britain feel that German re-
armament is urgent. They will
tolerate no long delay.
Even at the risk of offending
and losing the friendship of
France. the Anglo-American
diplomats will cautiously en-
brace the Germans who started
World War II just Is years ago
this month.

ban against the manufacture of
certain weapons in forward
areas that might be overrun by
sudden Soviet attack.
This, of course, would hobble
arms production in West Ger
many. But the restriction would
be = technically, at least - not
because the allies don't trust the
Germans, but because Germany
happens to be Immediately in the
path of any prospective invasion
from the East. d
Chancellor Z Adenauer could
present such a scheme to his
people and proclaim that West
Germany is, indeed, being treat
ed as an equal. And if France
has to swallow the idea of Ger
man rearmament, the restric-
tons on Germany could help
hide this bitter taste.
The United States still likes
the idea of putting Germany into
NATO. This group has an elab-
crate mechanism for inspecting
arms production, and checking
the overall efficiency of the
armies of the Ia member nations.
In the past, NATO inspectors
have been at work to prod the
member nations into greater
arms production, but the same
inspection machinery probably
could be used to watch out for
any clandestine weapons pro-
duction in Germany.
The statesmen gathering at
London have their own diplo-
matte and political aims. France
seems to fear; that West Ger
many may come to dominate any
small group that it joins. So
France wants Italy to join the
Brussels pact. If West Germany
does. France also wants to get
Great Britain to make as large
commitments as possible. This,
too, would help keep the West
Germany tail from wagging the
Brussels dog.
Election Issue Seen.
Domestic politics also will in
f1uence the London meeting.
Britain's Conservative govern
ment fears the Labor Party might
swing into position completely
opposed to Germany rearmament
and thus create an election
issue. This fear may encourage
Prime Minister Winston Church
ilpS government to tread softly.
Sir Winston, however, is said
to be walking in step with the
United States on this issue. Both

Mr.. Roberts several times has

Mr.. Venno and Mr.. McCrory
said they had come to Baltimore
to work on the case even though
they officially went on vacation
last Saturday. They were in
Baltimore for more than a week
in an earlier phase of the in-
vestigation. They have expressed
a theory Judith Ann was kid

she recognized her abductor.

Mr.. Roberts told Investigators
at the time of the Staying that
he was on a tour of Miami night
clubs with Mrs. Dorothy Law
renee, blond Baltimore waitress.
She is friend of the Roberts
family and had gone to Miami
with them to get divorce.
Judith Ann was stolen from a
couch on which she was sleeping
at the Miami home of her
wealthy maternal grandparents
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Rosenberg.
She apparently was spirited
away just before midnight in Mr..
Rosenberg's car after the keys
had been taken from pocket of
MS trousers IN q bedroom.
The car was found abandoned
about five hours later and Judith
AIMS body was discovered in an
other hour in a thicket on the
shore of Biscayne Bay. She had
been beaten on the head and
Strangled. There were signs of
a sexual attack but the Dade
County medical examiner said
later these injuries could have
been inflicted by other means.

the plot. Possibly she had recog-
nized her abductor.

Britain and the United States
accepted it. sss#
The scheme was to build a
single army Out of units contrib
uted by West Germany, Italy,
France, Belgium, the Neither
lands and Luxembourg.
These units would operate
under a commander representing
not a single nation, but the
entire group operating as Euro
pean Defense Community. Ger
man troops always would be
under the direction of the supra
national EDO.
France Rejects EDO.
The promising scheme COL
lapsed after what many Ameri-
can officials now regard as a
classic French stall-perhaps be-
cause the French basically fear
the Germans.
France first said she would not
ratify the edo treaty until West
Germany did. West Germany
did not ratify until the end of
1853.
Even then, however. France
delayed. All the while, the
United States had the impression
that French Premier Pierre
Mendes-France was for EDO and
would try to get it passed. On
August 80, the French Assembly
killed EDO, 319 to 264.
American official cried bitterly
that Mr.. Mendes-France had
lied to them and. when the show
down came. didn't try to win
French approval of EDO.
With his blood-presSure boil
ing, Secretary Dulles started to
find a substitute for EDC-that
| is, a scheme for rearming the
Germans with safeguards to pro-
tect Europe from possible Ger
man militariSm.
His first thought was to allow
West Germany to rearm as a
member of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Great Brit
ian thought it would be better
to have West Germany join an
almost-forgotten treaty that
Britain signed with France and
the Benelux nations in Brussels
in 1913. The results may be that
This prospect will be discussed
West Germany will join both

lie announcements of the states
men suggest that everyone has
a different idea about what to do
but there seems to be a large
area of agreement.
The cabinet of West German
Chancellor Konrad AdenaueI
has demanded that West Ger
many receive full sovereignty
and join the Western defense
system as an equal partner.
At first glance, that seems to
defy the Vests inSistance on
