Adenauer Retiring
To Seek Presidency
Chancellor
Accepts Bid
Of His Purty

BONN, Germany, April Z
(AP).-Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer today agreed to run for
the presidency Of West Ger
many, q decision that means
his retirement from active poll
tics
The surprising decision was
announced by Eugen Gersten-
maier. president of the Bundles
tag or Lower House of Parlia-
ment, at a news conference.
Mr.. Gerstenmaier said the
ruling Christian Democrats.
who nominated Mr.. Adenauer,
have yet to discuss their choice
for his successor as Chancellor.
The post of President III West
Germany is largely 3 cere-
monial one.
Would Leave In July
The S3-year-old Adenauer,
the only government chief
postwar Germany has had,
himself presided at a meeting
Of a special committee set up
by the party to choose q presi-
Dental candidate.
Mr.. Adenauer's decision
means that he will retire from
active politics next September,
when the second term of Pres
ident Theodor Heuss expires.
Mr. HeusS cannot run for a
third term. This means Mr..
Adenauer will be at the helm
through the East-West foreign
ministers and summit meet
ings on Germany expected this
spring and summer.
Ludwig Erhard, the Eco
nomics Minister, is considered
the most likely choice of the
Christian Democrats to sue
coed to the CHARACTERISTIC.
The sudden turn of events
caught West Germany by sur
prise. 1t was known that Mr..
Adenauer had urged Mr.. Err
hard to accept the presidential
nomination while the Chan
cellor prepared for the fed
eral elections in 1861.
Serving Third Term
Mr.. Adenauer is serving his
third term as chancellor and
had been expected to seek a
fourth.
1t was considered possible
that Mr.. Adenauer might con-
tinue to play an important role
in formation of West German
policy, particularly in the for
eign field.
Informants pointed out that
while the constitution bars the
President from partisan polit-
ical activity it does not keep
him from sitting in cabinet
meetings and exerting infiu-
ence within inner ranks of the
government.
Asked whether Mr.. Adenauer
would influence foreign policy,
Mr.. Gerstanmaier waved a
copy of the constitution and
said reporters might seek an
answer themselves.
Mr.. Erhard. lory-poly one
time professor has been the
architect of West Germany's
economic revival from the ashes
of World War II.
Erhard Heir Apparent
Mr.. Erhard has been West
Germany's Economic Minister
since Mr.. Adenauer picked him
for the post in 1949. His pro-

Job|ess Drop
By387,OOO
During March
Figure Still High;
Employment Up
To 63.8 Million
BY LEE M. COIN
star stan Writer

Unemployment dropped by
3S7, 000-much more than nor
mal-to 4,S62,000 from Feb
ruary to March, the Govern
ment reported today.
Total employment also i'm
proved substantially, rising by
100000 to 63.S2S. 900. the
Labor Department said.
Despite the drop in unem-
ployment, the total of jobless
workers was at the highest
level for March in more than
a decade, except for March.
1858, when $4,000 workers
were unemployed.
The corresponding report for
February showed employment
at 62,722, 900 and unemploy-
ment at 4.749.000.
Idle Rate SIS Per Cent
Adjusted for seasonal influ-
ences, the unemployment rate
last month was So per cent,
down from 81 per cent in Feb
ruary and z per cent a year
ago. according to the report.
The $4,000 decline in un-
employment was the sharpest
drop between February and
March since 1850.
Government officials, obvi-
ously eIated by the improve
ment in the job picture, held
a special press conference to
emphasize the good news.
Employment statistics were
released earlier than usual be-
cause the AFL-CIO viii hold a
rally to protest joblessness at
the National Guard Armory
here tomorrow. The purpose
of the rally is to exert pressure
for legislation including lib
eralization of unemployment
compensation - which organ
lied labor contends would pro-
mote economic growth.
Factory Work Week Up
In addition to emphasizing
the overall gains registered
last month, the Government
noted that the average work
week in manufacturing rose to
40.1 hours in March-up is
hours from a year ago and
equal to the progression level
two years ago.
The longer work week and a
slight gain in average hourly
earnings raised average weekly
pay of factory production
workers to a record high of
1882, from $88 in February.
Unemployment reached a
recession high point Of 1924
600 last July. The highest
seaSonally adjusted rate of
! joblessness during the recess
sion was 7.6 per cent last
August.
Release of the employment
statistics was preceded by an
unusual ruf1ie of publicity
drums. The White House yes
terday disclosed that the fig
ures would be very good, and
Secretary Of Commerce Strauss
issued a statement last night
promising other economic indi-
Gators will show major gains
Normal seasonal expectations
would have pointed to an un-
employment decline of only
about 100000, instead Of 387.-
900, between February and
March.
Rise in June Seen
Seasonal factors, assuming
there are no other influences al
work, would result in a con-
tinued decline of unemployment
during the next couple Of
months, a rise in June, then q
drop to slightly more than Z
million unemployed next o.

of the Bureau of Labor Stats

conference.

Dewey Short
Touts Battle
Near Home
BY JOHN w. STEPP
star star Writer

Mention Wilson's Greek to
even . Civil War devotee and
you1l probably get q stare as
blank as the plains of Missouri.
But. Dewey Short. Assistant
Secretary Of the Army. knows
about Wilson's Greek. His
home town, Galena, Mo-, is Just
q few miles from there. And
an Uncle George" Short owns
farmland where part Of the
battle Of Wilson's Greek was
fought August 10. 1861.
Speaking as a devotee. Mr..
Short made an hour-long pitch
before nearly 800 members and
guests Of the District Civil War
Round Table to give the battle
the recognition 1t deserves on
the broad and bloody canvas
Of the war.
In terms Of other battles
around other creeks like
Antietam and Chickamauga,
whose names have heroically
echoed through the century,
the fight itself at Wilson'S was
not much.
Five Hour Fight
As Mr.. Short pointed out,
only $4,000 men were engaged
In all. The tactics were any
thing but neat. The soldiers on
both sides bore more resem-
blance to rabble than soldiery.
The fighting lasted only five
hours.
But the officers and men had
unbounded courage and they
knew how to shoot. When the !
smoke had cleared, the Union |
forces were retreating toward |
Springeld, Mo-, and the Con-
federates were so shot up they
had to fall back into Arkansas. |
This left all Of Missouri in
Union hands. Mr.. Short ex-
planned, and Gin the final anal
ysis this loss Of Missouri at
Wilson's Greek proved fatal to
the South, for Missouri con-
trolled commerce in the entire
Mississippi Valley above Vicks-
burg"
The Assistant Secretary was
introduced by Benjamin M.
Mckelway, editor of The Eve
ming Star, who quoted from
early accounts Of the battle as
they appeared in The Star. He
noted one Of the stories was
completely erroneous in claim
ing q Union military victory.
But, he added turning to Sec
retary Short. it was based en-
tirely on an official report by
the War Department.
