Jan. Chancellor Konrad Ad-
enauer tonight denounced the
latest Russion proposal for a
Big Four meeting as an effort
to bring Germany under direct
or indirect dependence on Mos
cow"
THE integration of the free
peoples of the West, including
Germany. is the clear and under
standable goal of our policy"
the 79-year-old Chancellor said
In a nationwide radio address
from his vacation retreat.

when this has been achieved can
We undertake fruitful negotia-
tions with the Soviet Union"
First Pubic Comment.
This was Mr.. Adenauer's first
public comment on the Soviet
offer to establish normal diplo-
matte relations with West Ger
many and to join in a Big Four
conference on reunification of
Germany If the Western powers
abandon the Paris treaties for
German rearmament.
His address was planned both
as an answer to the Soviet dec
laration and to the opposition
Socialists antirearmament cam
paign. Socialist Chairman Erich
+Ollenhauer has called on DR..
Adenauer to give serious con-
sideration" to the Soviet offer.
How can Herr Ollenhauer
make such a statement II he has
really analyzed the Soviet dec
laratiop?" DR.. Adenauer asked.
THE text is entirely clear and
unequivocal and we (the Bonn
governiment) will not accept
such proposals. We do not want
a divided Germany. We want
one Germany"
Ollenhauer Displeased.
Mr.. Ollenhauer, in q state
ment issued Immediately after
the broadcast. termed the speech
absolutely unsatisfactory and
negative"
For the first time the Soviet
government has conceded to the
Western powers and to the Fed
eral government international
control Of all-German elections" !"
Mr.. Ollenhauer said.
"Such international control
was tenaciously demanded by
the Western powers at the Ber-
lin Conference and was declared
the prerequisite to an agree
ment."
Mr.. Ollenhauer stressed it was
not a question of simply ac-
cepting the Soviet proposals.
"The Social Democratic Party
emphatically desires that the
Western occupation powers
should be induced to negotiate
over the meaning and the sig
nif1cance of these proposals.
Our party therefore demands
that the Federal Government
take the initiative and urge the
Western powers to bring about
clarif1cation of these questions
before the Paris pacts are rati-
fed"

Relatives of Americans Inn
prisoned by Red China appeared
yesterday to be looking some
what more favorably on a Chi
nese offer to let them visit their
loved ones.
One father, who had been
skeptical at first, said the idea of
trip to China now "looks good. ;"
Wives of two Air Force officers
held prisoner said they would be
more inclined to make the jour-
ney II they could go in a group
with other Americans.
The mother of another air
man, who with. her husband
already has announced intention
of going to China, said she hoped
other Americans would accept
the Chinese invitation because it
might hasten the release OF those
imprisoned.
Opinions Differ.
However, relatives Of others
among the II Americans in
prison continued to hold divided
opinions.
It was the mother Of Capt.
Harold Fischer. jr.. jet ace from
Swea City. Iowa. who expressed
hope that more kin Of the pris-
oners would accept the Chinese
offer.
Mrs. Fischer reafiirmed a pre-
vious, announcement that she
and her husband would fly to
China as soon as they could
make arrangements.
Then she added:
1--WE believe the Chinese Of
fer is made In complete good
faith and am not at all afraid
Of going in.
II think all (relatives) should
show a little confidence and
more Of q desire to make the
trip"
Sees Aid to Release.
Mrs. Fischer said she feels
reaction to the invitation might
well have a bearing on the re-
lease OF the prisoners.
She said she didn't think this
would occur while relatives we're
in China, but 1t still would be
wonderful to see her son and
ito know that he is physically
and mentally fit."
She said that eff Harold is
we'll, we are sure he can tolerate
imprisonment until his release
comes and we somehow feel 1t
won't be too long"
At Montgomery, Ala, Mrs.
John X. Arnold. jr. and Mrs.
Wallace L. Brown, wives of two
Air Force officers. said they
hadn't come to a final decision.
But they said they would be
much more inclined to make the
trip if they could go with group
Of other Americans. They ex-
pressed the feeling it would not
be wise for them to go alone or In

Civic Clubs Should Work For Yam Festival

held to discuss the possibility of or
ganizing a festival committee. This
would enable each club to participate
not only in the profit making aspects
but in the overall promotion of the
festival. There is enough civic energy
in Tabor City to make the festival
bigger and better. Too, the civic
workers have enough pride in the
progress of the community to con-
tribute spare time to keep the festival
alive.
If the joint civic sponsorship is re-
jected then we challenge one of the
clubs to carrying on the festival. Any
one of the many clubs could do an
excellent job and selecting one would
be no problem. Those not Interested
in joint sponsorship would simply be
eliminated as contenders.
Through civic club sponsorship and
careful planning the Yam Festival
could yield enough profit to enable
one or all of the sponsors to carry on
several outstanding community pro-
jects during the year.
Although the festival isn't usually
reeled off until the middle of Octo-
Der, time is important since to-
bacco season will soon be in full swing
and no one has time for festival work
until the last leaf is cropped and sold
This would mean that any work UNI
attended to before the leaf selling
begins would have to wait until the
latter part of September.
Ignoring the problem makes it
easier on the conscience but fails 20

talking and get down to brass tacks.

automobile owner did not suspect
this need.
Obviously, then, the only way a
driver can be sure his vehicle is in
safe operating condition is to check
and double check.
It's a very simple matter to check
for surface danger points. The driver
himself can do this. Excessive tire
wear, loss of brake efficiency, lights
that are not working properly, ana
other obvious danger spots can be
easily detected.
But no driver should be satisfied
with these surface checks. He should
have his car checked regularly by 4
qualified mechanic. On these checks
the following points should receive
careful inspection: Headlights, rear
and stop lights, brakes, tires, steering
mechanism, windshield wipers, NUT
