BONN. Feb. / AP).-Chan-
cellor Konrad Adenauer, in a
letter released today, chal-
lenged Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev to live up to his own
words by granting the German
people self-determination.
The letter of more than 1000
words was sent to the Soviet
Premier on January IA.
Mr.. Adenauer reminded Mr.
Khrushchev that the latter has
often publicly proclaimed ad-
herence to the principle Of
self-determination for nations.
He said if Mr.. Khrushchev
followed this principle he would
bring to an end the worst in
justice left by the. war-the di-
vision of Germany and the ar
tiflcial isolation of its capital,
Berlin"
Referring to Mr.. Khru-
shchev's frequent demands for
a peace treaty with Germany,
Mr.. Adenauer wrote:
THE moment you give your
approval to the solution of the
German problem on the basis
Of self-determination of the
German people, the way to
conclusion of a peace treaty is
free and the Berlin question
solved by itself, without the
artificial construction of a free
city, a construction which in
our century has conjured up
only conflict and tension"
Mr.. Adenauer's letter was
one Of a series OF personal ex-
changes between the two states
men begun last August. Mr..
Khrushchev's latest reply was
delivered last Friday but has

DR.. Albert Bruce Sabin, identi-

years. plans to turn his atten-

Viruses-bits of life that
sometimes look like golf balls
under the microscope-have
been his research speciality and
he thinks they are linked with
cancer.
The United States Depart

$611,800 for a six-year research
program. .
That's the report today by
the University of Cincinnati,
where DR.. Sabin is professor of

In the last three years DR..
Sabin has been noted for de-
velopment of a live virus polio
vaccine he believes is superior
to the Salk variety.
His role as a virus expert has
made him a sometimes contro-
versial figure in polio study.
DR.. Sabin has titled at times
with Basil O'Connor, of the
national foundation. But the
foundation has steadily sup
ported Sabin research with more

a modest $1,000 grant in 1910.
