fact that the long-awaited re-

started off on a rather sour note

beginning to cloud the interna-
tional air.
To some extent, perhaps, this
criticism is justified. Certainly
there is no denying that Ger
Imany's contribution to Western
defense" has not always seemed
as necessary to all Germans as
lit does to Gen. Gruenther and
Chancellor Adenauer. 1t is also
clear enough that German youth
shows a marked lack of enthu-
Isiasm for military service.
Army Inspires Fear
But these things in themselves
which, after all, apply to other
Western nations as well-do not
explain Germany's reluctance tc
rearm or the delays in setting
about it. One cannot spend mucf
time in Germany today without
coming to the conclusion that the
most important single obstacle tt
German rearmament is the feal
that this army itself inspires ir
the German mind.
Ironically enough, it is pre-.
cisely the recollection of what
happened last time" that is hold
ing up the show. All the plan
ming that has gone on-all thu

and reassuring words of theil

But nowhere, perhaps, does i
reach the proportions of ma

Germany itself.
There are good reasons fol
this concern. In terms of Ger
man history, the army and de-
mocracy have always been con-

Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee, today eliminated
himself as prospective chairman
of the bipartisan committee

CATION in protest over restrictions
he charged the Republicans are
trying to impose on the chair
man.
After describing the differ
ences that have kept the four
Democrats and four Republicans
on the committee from agreeing
to rules of procedure, Senator
Gore said:
Il have now reached the con-
clusion that the prospects of
such an inquiry might be en-
HANGED by the making of this
report and by eliminating my
self from consideration as pro-
spective chairman of the special
committee. I will be glad to
continue to work with my COL
leagues as a member of the
committee. subject to the will of
the Senate"
Centers Attack on Bridges
Senator Gore centered his at
tack on suggestions he said were
advanced by Senator Bridges,
Republican of New Hampshire,
that no investigation could be
started except by a majority vote
Of the committee, and that sub
poenas could be issued only by
joint action of the Democratic
chairman and Republican vice
chairman.
It has been assumed that Sen
ator Gore would be chairman
and that Senator Bridges would
be vice chairman.
Senate leaders delayed an i'm
pending vote on the crucial Farm
bill to let Senator Gore air the
conflict in the lobby committee.
1t was agreed that each member
of the committee should have 20
minutes to discuss the issue. This
could delay the Farm bill for
two hours or more.
johnson Indicates Action
Earlier Senate Democratic
Leader johnson of Texas had
indicated the Senate itself may
have to take a hand in the
dispute.
Meanwhile, a new difference
of opinion developed over
whether the George committee,
which investigated the activities
of lawyers for the Superior Oil
Co.. of California, in connection
with the natural gas bill. prop
erly administered the oath to
its witnesses. This legal question
grows out of the fact that
Charles w. Steadman, counsel,
swore in the witnesses.
Charles l.. Watkins, Senate
Parliamentarian, cited a section
of ths United States Code which
says members of Congress may
administer oaths to committee
witnesses. He took the position
that when a statute enumerates
those who perform a function, it
excludes those not enumerated.
Ordered by George
But Robert A. Collier, a men,
Der of the legal staff of the
George committee, pointed out
that the oaths were administered
at the express direction of Sen
ator George, the committee
chairman.
He pointed out that when

A double bombshell was ex-
ploded in the Maryland roads
conspiracy trial in Rockville to-
day with the appearance of Ben
DuPre, long missing former State
Roads Commission engineer, as
la State witness and the an
Inouncement that he has been
promised immunity.
The announcement brought an
immediate attack from lawyers
for the two Washington real es-
tate men charged with conspir-
ling to defraud the commission
by land manipulations.
Defense attorney Joseph B.
Simpson charged that Mr.. DuPre
lis wanted that bench war;
rant has been issued for him -.
that he is fugitive from JUS
Itice." He moved that a mistrial
be declared Immediately. The
motion was overruled.
The court room was electrified
when Deputy States Attorney

that DuPre would be the States

Ousted From Job
DuPre was ousted last summer
from his Roads Commission job
for allegedly passing conf1den-
tial information on new road
locations to land spectators. He
disappeared in the early fall and
repeatedly fled to his native
Mexico.

DuPre's whereabouts has been
a large question mark in the case
ever since. Today's disclosure
was the first hint he had been
found.
| But States Attorney Alger Y.

DuPre had returned from Mexico

Defense attorneys Joseph and
