Measured hope" in Big Four meeting ut Geneva, Dulles

I he doesn't expect spectacular results" he does. think that he and the British. French and lSoviet foreign ministers will make concrete progress to- ward unification of Germany within a framework of Euro pean security"
 He said he also looks for definite progress on increased contacts between east and west on clearing away some of the misunderstanding that seem to have arisen over the dis armament issue.
 In touching thus on all four points on the Geneva agenda, Dulles shied away from using the word optimism
 ''But any results at all," he said. would mark an advance on most. if not all, of our pri- or conferences with the Soviet Union"
 Dulles leaves for Europe Friday, after Ibriefing congress ional leaders of both parties on the Geneva barley in Wash ington tomorrow.

 With the doctors continuing to report that Eisenhower is making satisfactory headtway without complications Dulles said that he found "very dis tinct evidence of more vigor - more vigorous health" He said the presidents mind was as vigorous as it could be at their last meeting and "this time there was more evidence of physical robustness.

.JUry's verdict
 awards nothing to CharIes TuengeI

JUNEAU (H) A A jury today declined to award Charles Tuen gel of Sitka any damanges he said he suffered in a plunge Nov. l, 1851 down the base ment stairs of the Sitka Com munity hospital.
 Tuengel, 69, an unemployed barber, had asked $68,700.
 The jury took five hours to reach it's verdict favoring the defendants. the City of Sitka and the National Board of Pre- lbyterian Missions. The verdict was given at the opening of dis trict court this morning.
 Neither counsel for the plain tiff or Judge Hodge had any comment on the verdict.
 Tuengel's plunge occurred when he had gone to the hos pital to cut at patients hair. He claimed he had been misdir ected to the patients room by the nurse in charge, that the basement door was not identif jed by sign and that the hall was poorly lighted.

he was guilty Of a bribery charge

! German soldier in war, he said,
would be to fight the Russians,
And to do that he would have to
be tougher than he was in the
last war-tough enough, in fact,
to rival his Russian opponent.
Another outspoken critic is
Maj. Friedrich Won Stulpnagel,
who observes acidly that armies
are not designed as schools for
citizens. The purpose of the
army is to prepare for war in de-
fense of the nation. Let us stop
kidding ourselves, says the major,
that the German soldier is going
to spend his two years in bar
racks, concentrating on the i'm
provement of his health, on
sports and other praiseworthy di-
versions. Tomorrow. just as yes
terday, the soldier must be pre-
pared for a mission which
involves not only the gravest risk,
but also unlimited trials which
he must bear with inf1exible cour-
age.
FavorS Discipline.
Even in peacetime, he con-
tinues, the job is to take citizens
and make soldiers out of them
not to try to turn recruits into
impeccable civilians. Reformers
who would like to place military
instruction within an essentially
sporting framework miss the
point. Because the risk the SOL
dier runs is not to fail in a COM
petition. but to lose his life. The
same goes for discipline. Here
again one must think only of
wartime conditions. The rela-
tionship of subordination cannot
pc wholly accepted in combat
unless the soldier has been
marked with its imprint in time
of peace.
Differences like these are not
easily reconcNed. And, although
the prophets Of a democratic
army seem to have the inside
track at this point. they are
having no easy time in whipping
up popular enthusiasm for their
kind of military service. The
youth Of the nation is frankly
skeptical Of efforts to humanize
the Wehrmacht. Its attitude is
that of a mouse watching the
trap being baited.
Even the American example
is not wholly reassuring. Films
like From Here to Eternity"
and the "Caine Mutiny" have
made a powerful impression by
revealing something of the seam
ier side of American military
life.
II don't know if it is a true
picture" one German told me.
But / can tell you that even
under Hitler German soldiers
would never have stood for such
brutality"

cratic framework. But. so far,
it has been an uphill fight.
This frank fear of the Ger
mans of a military revival Is
perhaps understandable. AS the
wife of an allied diplomat put it:

holic being urged to take Just

puts it this way:
"Seven years ago I was told
by the French that I was a war
criminal. If the Americans had
not helped me I would have
been IN very serious trouble.
Today certain people are COM
ing to me and suggesting that
I should accept a new military
command-get out and be a hero
again. Personally I believe that
it's rushing matters. Now I have

"The big thing is to leave

sponsibility. rather than try to
impose obedience. In peacetime

In war, we throw them on their
own and expect them to do q

Drilling of the close-order va
riety is out, as is compulsory
saluting to any but the soldiers
own officers when on duty. II
the planners have their way,
there will be an absolute min
mum OF paradeS and flags.
"All these things once had a
tactical Importance" they say.
When men fought together In a
compact group there was some
reason to train them to act like
machines. Flags then were some
thing to follow on the battlefield.
The main point of parades Is to
give a soldier a sense of his own
power. But in terms of modern
war, it's the wrong sense. When
the shooting starts, you are
alone"
One Of the most talked-up
schemes in the Diensteller Blank
is to have each company of en-
listed men elect a spokesman
among themselves to act as a
kind of liaison with the company
officers on such things as recre-
ational activities and discipline.
Training will Be Tough.
All this, say the War Office
spokesmen, is not coddling. The
recruits of the Federal Republic
will be put through a tough
training course, under the most
realistic field conditions that can
be devised. But there will be no
unnecessary hardship either.
"The important thing is to
teach these young people that a
good soldier can also be a good
democratic citizen" you are told.
1--WE must take the totalitarian-
ism out of the German Army and
get across the idea that people of
different political opinions can
get along together"
These theories about the new
German Army and the new Ger
man soldier have by no means
gone unchallenged. On the con-
trary, they are being attacked
from all sides and from within
the Defense Ministry itself.
In a recent speech to an asso-
citation of former war prisoners
one of the chief advisers in the
Diensteller Blank, ex-Col. Won
Claer, protested that it was about
time to stop talking about "citi-
zen-soldiers" and theoretical no

Prosecution Disputes
Matusow Testimony
|Of FaIsified Evidence
BY The Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK. Feb. PA for
rner Government prosecutor dis
putes the testimony Of Harvey
Matusow, self styled ex-Commu-
mist and FBI informer who says
he falsified evidence presented
at the trial of 13 convicted Com
munists.
David L. Marks, former special
assistant to the United States
attorney, testified yesterday in
a Federal hearing on a retrial
motion by the 13 Communists.
Mr.. Marks. in a hearing which
resumes today. described how he
met Matusow in December, 1851:
"An FBI agent reported to our
Office that there was a former
member Of the Communist Party
at Wright Field. Ohio, who had
information relative to the
(Communists) case. AS a result
several of us met him in au au-
tomobile on the East River
drive"
Cohn Was Present, He Says.
Among those present. Mr..
Marks said, was Roy M. Cohn,
then an assistant United States
attorney, who Matusow alleges
helped him falsify evidence in
the 1852 trial Of the 13 Reds.
Mr.. Cohn has denied the charge.
United States Attorney J. Ed
ward Hubbard asked Mr.. Marks:
Did you conclude that he (Ma-
tusow) might be used as a wit
ness?"
"Yes," Mr.. Marks replied. 1--WE
considered him as a probable
witness,
Mr.. Marks identified a memo
Evening star., 1955-02-24

randum dated December 81, 1851
which he sent to superior. In
it he announced Matusow would
be a witness and added that che
impressed me as being sincere as
well as intelligent"
During the prosecution Of the
case was there any information
which might have led you to
doubt Matusow's reliability as a
witness?" Mr.. Marks was asked.
"No. there was not" he re-
piled.
Mr.. Marks was the first Gov
ernment witness at the hearing
before Federal Judge Edward J.
Dimock.
Matusow Admits Lie.
Matusow, on the stand earlier
in the day, was asked by Harry
Sacher, defense counsel for the
13 Reds, "You did lie in respect
to the way you testified at the
elizabeth Gurley) Flynn trial,
didn't you?"
EYES," replied Matusow.
Miss Flynn was one of the de-
PENDANTS in the 1852 trial.
Mr. Socher then fold the court
"There is one element present
here. We have here a charge
that an assistant United States
Attorney (Mr. Cohn) partic-
ipated in the fabrication Of tes-
timony that was false. ;.
Even If we do not succeed in
getting all 13 defendants a new
trial, we would be satisfied If
we could even get a new trial
