Germany
Adenouer Loses Ground

West Germany voters got
their first chance this week to
show through the ballot box
their reaction to ratification of
the Paris pacts and the new
Russian move in Austria. The
result was a strong rebuff to
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
policy of strong alliance with
the West.
The voters of Lower Saxony
gave victory-but not clearcut
mandate-to the Social Demo-
Gratis, who bitterly fought AIDE
nauer on the rearmament issue.
The Socialists argue German re-
unifcation through negotiation
with Moscow should be West
Germany's main goal and that
rearming will hinder rather
than help its accomplishment.
Adenauer's Christian Demo-
cratic party lost nearly half a
million votes in The legislative
elections which sent SO Socialist
deputies to the new 161-member
state parliament. The Christian
Democrats dropped to 40 seats.

Policy for POWs

Hoping to avoid the kind OF
confusion which came after the
Korean War, the US. Army has
formulated a policy for its men
to follow in future conflicts
where capture means probable
subsection to brainwashing.
Outlined in testimony last
month before a House appro-
priations subcommittee and re-
leased this week, the program is
designed to prevent American
POWs from succumbing to Com
munist persuasive" techniques
-as the Army says many did
during the Korean War.
Avoid Capture
The first and most emphatic
point of the new policy is this
simple advice to US. GIs: Don't
get captured.

that the ground soldier is in a

Big Stick Reversed

Nearly a half century ago in
1907 President Theodore Roose-
welt dispatched a fleet of battle
ships on voyage around the
world to focus the attention of
the world On Americas fighting
proves.
This week President Eisen-
hover revealed plans for an
other grand globe-circling voy-
age, but this time the aim will
not be to brandish Americas
"big stick" before the peoples
of the world.
Floating Museum
Addressing the annual lunch
con of the Associated Press in
New York, the President told of
a project soon to be presented
to Congress for final approval.
It involves the design and con-
struction of a merchant ship
powered by nuclear energy and
equipped as a floating museum
to carry throughout the world
the message of Americas ap-
plication of atomic energy to
peaceful purposes.
The nation already has an
atomic submarine in service
and a second under construction.

Paris about the specific agenda
of topics to be discussed at any
conference with the Soviets.
They said this agenda, in his
view, should concentrate exclu-
sively on Eul opean deadlocks-

European security problems.
Russia would be asked to agree
in advance to the agenda, thus
ruling out any free wheeling de-
bate on Far Eastern or other I'M

Paris Meeting

The first concrete step toward
a meeting of the Big Four pow
ers will be taken next week
when Secretary of State Dulles
meets with British and French
foreign ministers in Paris on
May 8.
In announcing that date this
week, the us. State Department
gave no official word as to
whether the Big Four meeting
for which the Western Allies
will lay plans would be at the
foreign minister's level or higher.
This Immediately set off spec
Iulation by diplomatic observers
that earlier Western ground
rules for a conference with Rus
Isia, which specified meetings at
lower levels gradually leading
up to a meeting Eat the summit, "
had been modified.
Part of the ammunition for
this view was a remark dropped
Iby Russian Premier Bulganin
over the weekend in Moscow.
He told newsmen he was inter
ested in a high level meeting
but that they would have to
TASK Eisenhower and Eden about
the date"
A further boost for specula-
ton on the possibility of high
level talks came when President
Eisenhower disclosed he has
been in private correspondence
with Soviet Defense Minister
Zhukov, his wartime friend, and
that the correspondence holds
out some slim hope of better
ment in U.S.-Soviet relations.
Dulles repeatedly will propose

listers meeting in June.

Too Many Houses?
There also is worry that hous-
ing construction is moving too
fast. 1t has been in the midst
of an almost continuous boom
ever since the war, and is ac-
celebrating rather than leveling
off.
Despite these worries, the
United States seemed to have
turned the corner away from a
war economy since the Korean
armistice with no more than a
touch of economic jaundice,
although weapons production
and shipments abroad still lend
a military tinge to the picture.
The big question remained,
however, of whether The ma
chine had its wheels firmly on
the road, or whether it might
still be caught in bad skid.

posed to undertake major war
with little warning" He con-
tinued that it was the most
powerful land force in the world
and Gin an excellent state of
combat readiness" Ridgway also
stated it has been receiving
atomic warfare training.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining,
Ridgway's counterpart in the
Air Force, reported on the air
potential of the Chinese Com
munists. He said their rapidly
expanding system of bases
gives the Communists the abili-
ty to move in aircraft rapidly
from the Soviet Union"
"We cannot ignore their ca
pability to double or triple their
air strength in the Far East
overnight" he continued.
Reds Reduce Ratio
The screened record of the
proceedings also disclosed that
Communist ground forces in
Korea have been reduced to a
l " to l ratio of numerical SUI
periority over South Korean
and United Nations troops.
Ridgway told the legislators
that the Army is engaged in a
of intensive studies and
field tests to determine changes
in tactics required by nuclear
warfare.
He said these have not yet
been completed, but first results
indicate the necessity of dis

The index of national living
costs has now been steady for
four months, while individual
incomes have been increasing,
and people are spending the
money right and left. ,
New Prosperity
Some commercial experts even
began to worry lest the buying
spree be directed at stockpiling
of consumer goods by individu-
ais, which if true would bring
an eventual showdown.
The government said the boom
had not yet returned to some of
the smaller businesses, but that
they showed signs of doing bet
ter, too.
President Eisenhower pictured
a new prosperity for the world
brought about by atomic power
and the creation of new GUS
toners for American products
through loans and technical de-
velopment of other nations. BY
these means, he said. the dyna-
n1iss.l of the American industrial
complex can be maintaincd and
extended.
There were new signs OF wor-
ry, however, among the Dem
ocrats in Congress, some of
whom have seen their predlc-
tons of a new depression go
swry. The Senate Banking Com
mittee's Investigation of the
stock market having produced
no great signs of boom leading

in animals illustrates again how the
scientist coaxes nature to work for
him even when he doesn't fully
understand what makes her mecha-
nism tick. Vigofac, substance
tracked down by researchers at the
Pfizer Agricultural Research and
Development Center in Vigo County,
Indiana, produces gains greater
than any feed supplements formerly
available.
This unidentified growth factor
has shown remarkable results when
added to feeds already fortified
with antibiotics and the traditional
growth-promoting preparations. 1t
enables the farmer to bring poultry
and animals to market weight
faster. Since less time is required,
savings in feed are substantial.
Vigofac added to q basal chicken
feed ration sends the bird to market
a full week ahead of schedule. Used
in combination with Terramycin,
Vigofac increases weight gain even
more.
Hogs reach 165 pounds on sub
stantial basic ration such as corn
soy. Given the same ration plus
Terramycin, the animal hits 184.
And when the combination is forti-
fed with Vigofac, the same hogs
avoirdupois zooms to a robust 200
plus. Farmers report that the Ter
ramycin-V -Vigofac combination cuts
market time by % days. Just three
pounds Of Vigofac per ton of feed
formula will often do the job.
So far the agricultural scientist
has been unable to pin down exactly
how the Vigo factor works. It's
anonymity perturbs him and he con-
tinues to probe with the hope Of
uncovering evidence that may lead
20 even more startling discoveries
But the farmer looks at it differ
emily. He isn't really concerned
whether research can identify the
Vigo factor. He sees the results in
his barnyard. That's enough for him.
