East Germany Acts
To Bolster Economy

BERLIN, Feb. 6 (R.-Com-
munist East Germany-plagued
by a tagging economy-today
ordered its economic planners to
put new emphasis on efficient
methods and to give free enter
prise more rein.
Chief Economic Palmer Bruno
Leuschner complained in a d.
receive that international de-
velopments" during the last four
have upset and retarded
his country'S economy.
Essential imports from Po-
land and Hungary have been
Cancelled" Mr.. Leuschner said,
and added that blockade of the
Suez Canal has made it more
difficult to get raw materials. He
spoke particularly Of drastic re-
auctions" in shipments Of coal
and coke from Poland.
Mr.. Leuschner said private
enterprise still furnishes 20 per
cent of East Germany's national
income. and lit is necessary to
bring all of the inner powers
which we possess to the greatest
efficiency"
East Germany's private enter
prise consists largely of handi-
craft shops, small retail shops
and farms. All heavy industry
and major retail outlets have
been taken over by the State. but
about 80 per cent Of the farm
land remains in private hands.

The propane gas that triggered
the explosion and fire is an arti-

it was stepped up from a weaker
propane combination previously

The propane is shipped in

President in governmental af-
fairs. the President said, is what
the President makes it.
In connection with the con-
troversy over National Guard
training, the President said no
one quarrels with the need for
adequate training of the Guard
The only question. he said, was
what would be the effect on re-
cruiting for and enlistments in
the Guard. He said he believes
a full six months training to be
essential and that he would ex-
ert all his powers to prevent
a falling off in the National
Guard.
Mr.. Eisenhower was asked If
he favored a suggestion from
some members of Congress that
the six months training be split
into two three-month periods
with an interval. The President
insisted that the training should
be continuous fO.' the full six
months. pointing out that if it
was stopped at the end of three,
the Guardsmen would have to
begin all over to get into a state
of fitness for the final weeks of
intensive training.
A reporter wanted to know
how Mr.. Eisenhower felt about
Mrs. Charles E. Wilson's inter-
view in defense of her husband,
the Secretary of Defense. after
the Presidents mild rebuke of
Mr.. Wilson because Of his COM
ment that the National Guard
had been en- escape for draft
dodgers at the time of the Ko-
rean war.

replied he was too old a cam
paigner to be upset by Mrs.

hgiouS aspects of covenants
other than the one forbiddingl
sales to anyone without the con-
sent Of the developers. Presum-
ably, the Red Cross did not wish
to expose itself to misunder-
standing in this respect. in view
OF its character as a semi
public institution and of its
worldwide associations.
Later the Red Cross issued al
statement saying it had decided
not to purchase the property. but
assigned no reason for its action.
The Red Cross statement was
released in behalf Of E. Roland
Hartman, chairman of the
American National Red Cross. 1t
follows:
"After carefully considering
all the factors involved, the
American Red Cross has decided
not to purchase the property at
49l5 Glenbrook road NV.
1.-THE decision has been accept
ed by the owner Of the property.
Mr.. Henry w. Beardsley.
Funds Donated
Gen. and Mrs. Alfred M.
Gruenther plan to reside tenn
porarily in an apartment in
Washington.
1.-THE funds involved were
originally donated to the Red
Cross in 1919 for the specific
purpose Of buying a home for
the Red Cross president.
THE donations we're made by
Mr.. Henry P. Dawson and a.
group of 10 leading business men
and philanthropists Of that day.

the contract Of sale on the house
at 49l5 Glenbrook road NV. was
for $4,000. The Red Cross has

,sidered such an attack unlikely.
He said he believes the likeli-
hood Of any nation, possessing
the modern weapons of great
mass destruction, using them
aggressively grows less every year
as the understanding grows that
any such operation would be just
another way of committing sui
eide.
Wont Discuss Sanctions
In regard to the Middle East,
Mr.. Eisenhower refused to dis
cuss the possibility of applying
sanctions against Israel if they
should be voted by the u N. in
case Israel fails to withdraw
from the GAIA Strip and the
Gulf of Aquaba area as de-
manded by a recent U. N. resolu-
ton.
While he would not want to
speculate on future actions, the
President said, this country is
committed to support of the
u. N. This remark was in line
with Secretary Dulles statement
yesterday that this Government
would have to give serious con-
sideration" to any U. N. call for
sanctions.
Asked about criticism in some
quarters that the U. N. had not
acted to protect Israel's rights
for passage through the Suez
Canal under Egyptian control,
the President said he hoped no
one would believe that the
United States is not trying to
protect and assure the rights Of
all in conferences concerning a
general settlement in the Middle
East.
Pointing out that Crown Prince
Abdul Ilah of Iraq and Lebanon
Foreign Minister Charles Malik
as well as King Saud now are
visiting in Washington, the Pres
ident said he was grateful for
the support of those three Arab
Leaders for United States efforts
to help keep the peace in the
Middle East area.
Oil Supplies CurtaiIed
Closure of the Suez Canal in
the Middle Eastern crisis has cut
of much OF Western Europe's
normal oil supplies and resulted
In efforts to help make up short
ages by increased oil shipments
from the Western Hemisphere.
| A reporter told the President
that planned oil deliveries to
Western Europe are tagging,
however. with some State regu-
Ilatory authorities refusing to-
authorize stepped up production
IN this country. He asked if the
President planned to do anything
about this.
Mr.. Eisenhower replied that Of
course there art certain presi-
dental powers under which he
could move into this field. But
he said he thinks the Federal
Government should not disturb
the economy except when it has
to.
Should Consider Interests
