ment were on hand to greet
him.
Hundreds of West German
citizens went to the isolated
airport to cheer him.
A joint communique signed in
Moscow by Mr.. Adenauer and
Marshal Bulganin said only
that the agreement to ex-
change ambassadors will fur
ther the settlement of pend
ing problems affecting the
whole of Germany, and must
thus help the solution of the
principal national problem of
the German people-the re-
establishment of the unity of the
German Democratic state.
The two delegations also
agreed to set up committees to
work for development of Ger
man-Soviet trade.
Exchange Letters
In an exchange of letters with
Marshal Bulganin at the close
of the conference, Mr.. Adenauer
also put on the record what he
called German rights which we
cannot relinquish." In his letter
he insisted that the fixing OF
Germany's final border must be
done only in a final peace treaty
and that his government still
insists on its claim to speak for
all of Germany.
Before leaving for home, Mr..
Adenauer told a news confer
ence that in agreeing to estab-
lish relations with the Russians.
he had not abandoned any of
his governments ties and OBJ
legations to the North Atlantic
Alliance and the Western Eu-
ropean Union.

Like the Chinese Communists
who interrogated airrnen cap
tured in Korea, the interrogators
maintained they had all the in
formation anyway and only
wished to confirm the facts and
to notify relatives of the mans
whereabouts
Sometimes the interrogators
shouted in bull-like tones. These
were suddenly broken into soft
tones and then an angry shout
when the prisoner refused any
answers except his name. rank

accordance with the Geneva con.
Iventions.

the beating heat from two spot
lights as he knelt with his knees
on a piece of moulding, the face

Realistic Acting
There was a blood chilling bit
Iof realism about the acting even
though all in the demonstration
were professional instructors.

news photographers to this air
base followed publication of a
magazine story about the "Air

including one in which a young
lieutenant allegedly was reduced
to tears by the bitter glilling.
AS a result the officers were
questioned repeatedly about how

teered had been in the torture
gadgets.

that he knew Of no instances in
which q man had been confined

Other Phases Of Program
The interrogation course Is
only a phase of the overall proa

ldowned airmen not only what to
expect from their captors and
how to fcounter the questions
aimed at probing out military in
