BONN, Germany.-YugoslaV
President Tito's strong public
backing for Poland's claim tc
the former German territories
beyond the Oder-Neisse has put
on indefinitely Q West German
move to re-establish relations
with the independent" Com
munist Gomulka regime.
Many In West Germany still
strongly favor the return Of
the Oder-Neisse territories ia
German administration and
fear any recognition Of Poland
would weaken Germany's claim
to them. The West German
Foreign once cannot now con-
tinue overtures begun in Bel
grade q fortnight ago between
the German Ambassador there
and the Polish foreign min
lister. who accompanied Party
Chief WladiSlaw Gomulka on
his state visit to YugoslaVia
last week.
Setback for West
Not only West Germany's
diplomatic move, but the whole
Western worlds drive to re-
orient Poland away from Mos
COW and toward the West has
been set back accordingly.
The United States has been
taking q leading role in seek
ing to accommodate q gradual
Polish reorientation toward
Western Europe.
West Germ ny, q prewar
customer for Polish coal and
other products now going to
the Soviet bloc, is expected to
play a leading part in bringing
Poland out Of the Kremlin Or
bit. She can pay considerably
more for the coal which Poland
mines, for instance, than Mos
COW does.
But before trade relations
can be re-established on q sig
niflcant scale, the West Ger.
man government Of Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer wants to set
up some kind Of diplomatic re-
lations.
How to do this while still not
prejudicing Germany's claim
to the territories beyond the
Oder Neisse, and while still not
arousing public opinion against
the idea have been under ac-
tive exploration in the West
German foreign ONCE.
Seen Gesture TO Moscow
Then Tito threw his monkey
wrench. on the first day Of the
Gomulka state visit to Bel
grade. The German AmbaSsa-
dor still managed to have an
exploratory talk with the Polish
foreign minister at q formal
dinner, but the prospects for q
swift move toward West Ger
man-Polish impeachment had
been spoiled.
In Bonn, officials are trying
to figure out why Tito did 1t.
The speculation they tend to
accept most readily is that the
Yugoslav president did 1t to
please Moscow. The Soviet Un-
ion could hardly favor q re-
orientation Of Poland toward
Western Europe.
The West German foreign

experts educated guess that
Marshal Tito arranged for his
move when he met with Soviet
Communist Party Chief Nikita
Khrushchev in Rumania re-
Gently.
There are other reasons Tito
might want to support Poland
on the Oder-Neisse territories.
He would be bolstering an in
dependent Communist regime;
he would be increasing his own
prestige as q spokesman for
the independent Communist
way; and he might have valued
the state visit by Gomulka so
highly that he made this con-
cession Just to arrange It.
Mr.. Gomulka repeatedly
made It q condition of his visit
that Tito state publicly his
backing for continued Polish

A debt Of gratitude is owed
to the Junior Chamber Of

Qualification

ThlS letter is prompted by
recent newspaper references
to the Fairfax County Coun-
ell on Human Relations in
connection with the Thorn
son committee hearings on
racial litigation. As president
Of the council, / wish to clar-
ify the objects and methods
Of the council.
Early this year. q handful
Of Fairfax County residents
became deeply concerned over
problems existing in our
county between peoples of
different racial. religious or
cultural groupings. And, per-
hapS more important, we
thought it was essential to
build constructive attitudes
now to avoid dissension.
strife or even violence in the
future when social patterns
come to q critical point of
change in our own commu-
nifty.
We believe that our APP
proach must be reasonable
and positive. that solutions
require intelligent study, with
q free and orderly exchange
Of ideas and views. We know
that legislation or judicial
decisions on such controver-
sial matters cannot be fully
effective without an atmos-
phere Of mutual understand
ing, trust and respect. We
do not believe that extremist
groups, emotional hysteria or
unreasoning infiexibiIity will
bring creative answers to such
complex problems.
The immediate purpose Of
the council, therefore, be-
came that Of bringing to-
gether residents Of the coun-
ty who. in good faith and
under the democratic process,
were willing to study intelli-
gently and calmly the many
facets Of our present situa-
ton and share these findings
and views with others.
Our long-range and pri-
mary purpose is to aid in
bringing about an atmos-
phere wherein those within
and among different races.
colors and creeds can come
to . better understanding Of
one another. based on q re-
spect for the inherent worth
and dignity Of every human
being.
Our methods are primarily
those Of study, dissemination
Of Information, recommended
tons Of voluntary solutions
through cooperative private
effort, the encouragement Of
free and orderly discussion
and to bring together those
who recognize the need for
application in daily living Of
the highest spiritual, ethical
and religious concepts we
affirm.
We are afiliated with the
Virginia Council on Human
Relations and the Southern
Regional Council, groups
whose aims and methods are
similar to ours. We have no
organizational ties to any
other group nor have we
sponsored or promoted any
racial litigation. Our officers

Free Inspection Of
Poultry Is Slotted

The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has announced that il
will start inspection of poultry
without cost at approved plants
about May l, 1858 Legislation
passed by the last session of Con-
gress authorized inspection of
poultry moving in interstate
commerce or in designated major
consuming areas.
The purpose of the inspection
service is to assure consumers a
supply OF. Gle an, disease-free
chicken meat. Inspection will
be on voluntary basis until Jan.
/, 1859. After that it will be
mandatory.
At the present time some plants
are receiving federal inspection
service, but must pay for it on
a fee basis.

period, July /, 1857 through June
80, 1862, are urged to re-record
them at once with the Mississippi
Livestock Theft Bureau.
Many have failed to re-register

All brand owners who do not
have a current certificate are
urged to send in the re-recording
request with the $500 registra-

Rain Cuts Cotton
By 500 Millions

Adverse weather since Sept /
has reduced Mississippi's cotton
crop. by 100 million dollars. The
cotton crop - particularly in the
Delta's heavy production area
where the harvest was less than
half completed = suffered a body
blow from the weather.
The rains kept the farmers
from getting into the fields to
gather the cotton and knocked
bolls to the ground and caused
boil rot, lowering the grade. The
fall rains were disastrous because
much of the cotton was planted
late and some re-planted, result
ing in late maturing.
On a statewide basis, only So
percent of the crop had been
harvested by Nov. - smallest
percentage as of that date since
1913. Other effects of the rain
have been to delay the corn har-
vest, delay oat planting and
grazing and virtually destroying
the bean crop in vegetable areas.
The only favorable aspect of
the rains is that forest fire danger
has been reduced.

Detention Law
In Virginia Hit
Indefinite Holding
Of Boy Challenged

An Alexandria attorney is
contesting a Virginia law which
allows a juvenile to be COM
mitted to training school for
an indeterminate period.
A test Of the law was initi-
ated yesterday by Paul Peachey,
representing a 15-year-old boy
who has been committed to the
State Training School by Juve-
nile Judge Irene Pancoast. The
boy has a record Of truancy
and incorrigibility.
Plans Court Appeal
Corporation Court Judge
William P. Woolls overruled
Mr.. Peachley's argument that
the law is unconstitutional
The attorney said he would ap-
peal the decision to the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Peachey argued that the
only limit put on an indetermi-
nate sentence is that it can't
exceed the Juveniles 2lst
birthday. He said this was a
violation of due process"
He further stated that 80
DAYS after a boy is committed TO
the training school under an
indeterminate sentence. the
Judge loses control over the
boys detention. The punish
ment then is based on his SUBJ
sequent conduct with the We'll
fare Department which oper-
ates the training school, he
said.
No Limit Set
He said the 1850 Juvenile and

is unconstitutional because 1t
does not set a limit to punish

thority to an administrative

Its action thus was contrary
to plans Of the Maryland State
Roads Commission and the
National Capital Planning
Commission, which three weeks
ago gave unanimous backing to
the present study bounds.
The District Highway De-
partment already has signed an
$4,000 contract with the Clar-

ton to make the study. Its aim
will be to find a possible route
to connect a proposed inner
loop hig hway in downtown
Washington with the express
way at a point some 5 miles

Under present plans of the
Maryland roads agency, the
federally financed interstate
highway would run along a

more Parkway toward the west
side of Baltimore. Yesterday,
however. the suburban plan
ners urged that its point of ar
rival here be east of the park

Residential Areas Involved
This, they said, would avoid
passing the highway through
heavily populated residential
areas of both Washington and
Prince Georges County and
bringing additional truck traffic
there.
William c. Burrage, the COM

he believed most of the traffic
using the projected roadway
would come from East of
Baltimore because of the new
