CONS AN1iNE BROWN
Adenuuer's Role at NATO

Before Mr.. Adenauer COM
mits his country TO bases for
American or German manu-
featured missiles Of all types,
he Is said to be asking for
definite assurances that the
United States viii not fall
asleep again. Der Alte Herr
(the old gentleman). as the
German statesman Is called
by his own people. is reported
TO have expressed his as
constituent at the failure Of
America--the greatest power
In the world-to realize the
Importance Of missiles until
1t is almost too late.
The missiles launched by
Hitler were primitive and In
accurate. II was fortunate
that he did not realize their
Importance earlier. For had
he done so ne might have
frustrated our efforts to de-
feat him. Yet, Mr.. Adenauer
complained. In the face Of
our knowledge we started
thinking about this new ter
rifying modern weapon be-
latedly and allowed the USSR
TO steal q march on U.s.. For
this reason Mr.. Adenauer
welcomed the opportunity TO
have frank conversations with
the other leaders in the grand
alliance. He told them his
people wanted him to ascer-
tain whether the principal
members Of the coalition are
waking up and ready to
make real efforts. or whether
they want TO continue their
past make believe prepara-
tons based on the strategy Of
World War II and the Korean
campaign.
Mr.. Adenauer Is reported to
have assured his friends that
Germany Is willing TO make
all necessary sacrifices. even
at the price Of abandoning
for the time being unity with
East Germany. But he wants
all other partners to adopt
q realistic policy - the only
one which can contain the
enormous political-military
advances Of the Muscovites.

being expressed by the Amer
lean delegation at the Paris
meeting that Germany may
hesitate to permit intermedi-
ate missile bases on her ter
ritory.
The reaction TO Soviet
Marshal Bulganih's letter
threatening all our allies with
dire consequences" II they
permit missile bases on their
territory has caused more Of
a stir In Germany than In
France or Great Britain, since
II Is known that the Russians
can install such bases In East
Germany and Poland. More
over, the Germans seem TO
suspect that the Muscovites
have these weapons while 1t
will take at least another
year before we can produce
them in sufficient quantities
TO supply them TO our allies.
The trend OF thinking
among the Western European
members Of NATO Is that II
Germany does not agree to
missile bases they, too. would
hesitate.
Mr.. Adenauer's stand seems
TO be that Germany Is will
ing to take the same risks as
the major members Of NATO.
But he sees little use. since
his country Is unlikely to be-
come involved in brush FIRE
wars, TO spend the taxpayers
money on ground forces. He
would like q green light from
the allies to start building
guided missiles. These were
created during the last war
by German scientists who
later impaired their knowl-
edge to the Americans and
Russians. The 10000 German
scientists taken away from
their homeland in 1o45 by
force or tempting offers have
laid the groundwork for the
present spectacular Soviet
advances In know-how and
military technology.
