A West German Foreign Of
flee and Finance military dele
CATION headed by Fritz Won
Twardowski has discussed the
purchases with Defense and
State Department officials.
The arms purchases would be
in addition to an estimated 81
billion worth of tanks, artillery,
armored vehicles and warplanes
which will be given free of
charge to the West German
government.
Some of these gift weapons
already have been delivered To
the Germans under the Eisen-

aid program.
This equipment will be used
to begin training a West German
Army planned to reach IL divi-
sions. an air force of 1900 planes
and a small navy.
West Germany is being asked
TO pay for additional necessary
weapons because the State De-
lpartment believes that its ample
gold reserves make it able to
bear the financial burden.
The German delegation, after
nearly two weeks Of confidential
talks has returned to Bonn to
make arrangements for placing
orders with American factories

off a small New England town

its hinges.
With a freudian franknesS she
unveils the high-level brutality
and low-level squalor, the hidden
vices and Illicit romances, the
petty meannesses and quiet
heroiSm which she says underlie
the surface of any placid New
England town. She includes a
few love scenes that might raise
Ernest Hemmingway's eyebrows
or cause Kathleen Winsor to
blush.

She and her husband George
we're only II when they married
after graduating from high

a writer and turned out dozens
of short stories while he served
as an artilleryman overseas in
the second World War.

years she and her husband and
three children subsisted on $120

University of New Hampshire to

all the small New England towns
she had ever known.

Welfare statisticians explained
that Negroes as a group have
had incomes substantially below

and much of their employment
has not been covered by social
security. This explains why
about six times as many Negroes
as white persons, in proportion
to aged population, are receiving

The statisticians predicted,
however, that Negroes will gain

broader social security coverage

am. on New Years Day for a
bipartisan discussion of foreign
policy and national security
phases of the 1857 program.
The Presidents meeting with
Mr.. Brundage today was his third
or fourth conference with the
budget director. Mr.. Hagerty said
on final stages Of the Federal
budget as it affects various gov
eminent departments.
Meet at Pro Shop
Mr.. Hagerty disclosed that Mr..
Brundage flew here last night
and conferred for nearly 80 min
utes with Mr.. Eisenhower this
morning in the Presidents vaca-
ton Office above the pro shop
at the Augusta National Golf
Club. The budget director was
flying back to Washington this
afternoon.
Mr.. Hagerty said today's dis
cussion did not involve military
spending levels for the new fiscal
year. The Defense budget will
be taken up in a special con-
ference here Friday. for which
the President has called Secre-
tary of Defense Wilson and other
officials besides Mr.. Brundage to
Augusta.
The press secretary reaffirIned
that the administration expects
the 1858 budget, to be submitted
to Congress some time next
month, to be balanced. But he
refuses to discuss any figures.
Timing of submission of the
state-of the Union and budget
messages and the economic re-
port to Congress probably will
be set at the big bipartisan con-
ference on New Years Day.
Uncertain on Delivery
Mr.. Hagerty said he had heard
no discussion one way or the
other so far of whether Mr..
Eisenhower would deliver his
state-of-the-U Union message in
person. Except for his 1856
message, which was sent to Cap
Iitol Hill to be read because he
still was recuperating then from
his 1855 heart attack, Mr.. Eisen-
hover has made it a practice to
deliver in person this message
submitting his legislative re-
quests for the year.
His press secretary told Ques-
TONERS today he had heard
nothing to the contrary" when
asked if the President expects
Ito deliver his 1857 message in
person. But he emphasized that
definite plans would not be made
until New Years Day.
