Care for Aged
Dirksen Indicates
Push for Bill OKd
By Finance Unit
BY J. A. OLEARY
Star Stan Writer

Liberal Democrats in the
Senate are at work today on a
new medical care bill they hope
will enable them to keep their
platform pledge in favor of the
social security system.
They began drafting the new
measure after word got around
that a combination of conserva-
tive Southern Democrats and
Republicans have a good chance
Of mastering small majority
in favor of letting each State
write its own medical care plan
with the Federal Government
paying a substantial part of the
cost.
Dirksen Sees Gain
After today's weekly con-
ference Of Republican leaders
at the White House, Senate
Minority Leader Dirksen said
the bill reported out by the
Senate Finance Committee goes
a long way toward meeting
the Presidents objection to the
social security payroll tax
approach.
The committee bill follows
the House plan of State con-
troll. but with more liberal Fed
eral aid.
Senator Dirksen did not at
tempt to say whether the
President would sign the bill
as it stands, but indicated
Republicans generally would
support 1t.
Senator Gore. Democrat of
Tennessee, a supporter of the
social security approach, said
this will be "a hard. close fight, "
and added: &
"A tie vote is not beyond the
realm of possibility"
Nixon Would Figure in Tie
Vice President Nixon, the Re-
publican standard-bearer, could
cast the deciding vote to break
a tie. and if Senator Cores
forecast should prove correct
the two presidential nominees
would be pitted against each
other on one of the major issues
Of the campaign.
Senator Kennedy of MaSsa-
chusetts, the Democratic flag
bearer, and his running mate,
Senator johnson of Texas,
have both described as made
quate the proposal which calls
only for Federal grants out of

Rise in Crime
1870 Gain Noted
Here in 6 Months
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Stan Writer

Serious crime in Washington
during the first half of 1860
surged upward at an even
faster rate than the startling"
increase noted in cities across
the Nation, the FBI Uniform
Crime Report showed today.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
termed it startling" that police
in cities of more than $4,000
reported a 9 per cent crime in
crease as compared with the
first half of 1859.
In Washington, however,
serious crime for the six-month
period increased by 1871 per
cent over the same period of
last year.
Over the same span, crime in
Washington's nearest big city
neighbor - Baltimore - de-
creased by IL per cent.
Arlington, the only other
Washington Metropolitan Area
community included in the
Uniform Crime Report, showed
a 1868 per cent increase in
serious crime. Offenses rose
from a total of $50 in the first
half of 1859 to 736 in the first
half Of 1860.
Sharp Upward Trend
Mr.. Hoover noted that the
sharp upward trend in serious
crime nationally during the
first three months of the year
became more rapid during
April, May and June. This was
also true in Washington, where
serious crime for the first three
months rose 11.4 per cent above
the first three months of 1859
and 1871 per cent for the six
month period.
Nationally. the upsurge was
led by a 13 per cent increase in
robberies, followed by a IL per
cent climb in burglaries, an 8
per cent increase in larcenies
OF more than $50. a 6 per cent
increase in murders, 5 per
cent rise in forcible rapes and

Congo Police Seize
u. n. Staff Officers
Raids Made
On Homes
And Hotels

LEOPOLDSVILLE, The Con-
go. Aug. 16 (AP) ).-Premier
Patrice Lumumba's Congolese
police swept through Leopold
vile homes and hotels today,
arresting Europeans and United
Nations personnel.
U. N. Undersecretary Ralph
Bunche intervened personally to
obtain the release of two U. N.
officers the Congo police picked
up. The police said the officers
were Belgians camouflaged
under U. N. uniform"
The Congolese police even
raided the residence housing
most of the U. N. personnel
and Offices and made several
arrests. Shortly after the police
left, a Gordon of U. N. troops
from Ghana with fixed bay1
onets was thrown around the
residence.
Mr.. Lumumba made his show
OF force some IL hours after
U. N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjjold left for New
York to get a Security Council
ruling on Mr.. Lumumba's de-
mands that U. N. troops en-
force the Premier's authority
Throughout the turbulent Congo.
Demands U. N. Help
Mr.. Hammarskjold decided to
return to the 11-nation Council
for new instructions after Mr..
Lumumba in a series of three
bitter letters said he no longer
had confidence in the secretary
general. The fiery Congolese
leader presented demands for
sweeping U. N. help in putting
down dissidentS against his rule
and creation of an Asian
African commission to take
over Mr.. Hammarskjold's su-
pervision of the U. N. effort in
the strife-torn area.
The rowing police questioned
scores of persons wearing U. N.
armbands and searched their
rooms.
U. N. officials said at least
10 U. N. personnel were being
held by the police.
Near the central postoffice a
Congolese patrol halted a car
with white U. N. military per-
sonnel. While their documents
were being checked, a menacing
crowd of Congolese gathered
around, shaking fists and
screaming insults.
Tension in the capital grew
steadily.
White Evacuation Asked
There was a feeling in the
Congo capital that the precar-
ious relationship between the
Lumumba government and U. N.
CongoleSe operation was COM
ing to a boiling point. The Pre-
mier's leftwing advisers have
been demanding the evacuation
of all white troops from the
Congo-U. N. as we'll as Belgian

the U. MS policy here.
Mr.. Lumumba left his heav-
lily guarded residence this
morning followed by two truck
loads of steel-helmeted Congo
lese soldiers and two jeeps
mounting machine guns. Aides
said he went to confer with
President Joseph Kasavubu,
the head of the opposition
Abako Party who in recent
weeks has virtually disappeared
from public political life.

A man would know the value
Of his destroyed home to the

forgotten about the mort
gage. Boundary lines were
obliterated and had to be
reSurveyed. But meanwhile
millions of Germans and mil
lions of returning refugees
had to have money imme-
diately to rebuild the country.
Therefore the Government
made loans at once against
the aS-yet unverif1ed claims.
Naturally, the risk was great,
but the necessity was ines
capable. A new bank was es-
tabliShed exclusively for the
loans. The amazing fact is
that while the default figure
for all German banks during
this period is 1.9 per cent,
that for these war-loss loans,
no reasonable applicant for

been only 1.6 percent. Why
this has been so, no one can

FRANKFURT AM MAIN.

FRANKFURT AM MAIN.
That Germany still loves
music will not surprise any,
body. The month I am spend
ing here as the guest of the
Federal Government, how
ever, is showing me much
that I, even though my in
terest in music has always
kept me aware of Germany,
have never known before.
I and seven other Ameri-
cans are in Germany as part
of the exchange program of
our State Department and the
German Foreign Office. There
is one professor of German
from Oregon, a staff member
of Columbia BroadcaSting in
Chicago, a drama critic, four
heads = of department from
drama schools, and myself,
whose interest in theater lies
primarily in opera.
We have spent four days
in Bonn, where we met
leaders in several fields-po-
litical, educational, cultural,
specifically musical and the
atrical, and also of the musi-
cal tradeS-unionS. The COM
posite story is fascinating,
and if I do not mention the
many people who have spent
so much time and effort in
explaining Germany to Amer
lea. these men and women
will understand that I do
not want inadvertently to at
tribute to one what I learned
from another.
Wide Interest Range
The most winning aspect of
our trip, so far, is the re-
markable diversity of opinion
and approach, and the wide
range of interest among the
Germans we have metre
markable because one might
expect in a government
sponsored trip a government
nodded line of information.
In truth, our strong impress
sion is that the Germans are
interested only in interesting
us in a country of which
they are proud. 1t is not at
all an irritating kind of pa
triotiSm.
1t is a paradox that Ger
many, so old that we read
about her in Julius Caesar,
is now a very young country
again, and is not dissimilar
in some respects to the United
States of 1900. States rights
is a very lively issue, the
country is a true melting pot,
and there is a vigorous and
considered revaluation of all
values.

audiences attended even when
their country was becoming
a shambles about them
perhaps the destruction made
the theater even more neces-
sary. After the war, the
various military governments
were begged to re-license the
opera and legitimate stage
even before hospitals and
schools and churches were
re-establiShed. So genuine
was the need for theaters
that the occupation author
tiles, although somewhat be-
wildered by what they could
not understand emotionally,
acceded. There was, Of
course, a great shortage Of
fuel in Germany. Every
member of the audience had
to bring along with his
theater ticket three pieces of
wood or a canister of coal,
to heat the theater. The
theaters were Immediately
and always full.
The rebuilding of the the
aters was undertaken before
any other major reconstruc-
ton except that of bridges,
and there are now 1875 state
theaterS and opera houses in
Germany, in addition to
numberlesS private theaterS
and the usual complement of
movie houses. One govern
ment official in the Culture
Ministry remarked ruefully
last week, I'VE have now
plenty of theaters, but we
need $4,000 classrooms in our
schools"
Split in Radio Policy
There is a single television
program in Germany, which
originates alternately from
the stations of the II various
states, or Laender. A second
program soon to be estab-
lished is the cause of wide
spread controversy. The
present program is controlled
by the states, Chancellor
Adenauer wants the new sta
ton controlled by the fed
eral government. Even sup
porters Of Adenauer, many of
them. think this is a danger
Gus thing, to put so powerful
a creator of public opinion
into the hands of the party
in office. Adenauer, by the
way, although his party is
encountering strong opposi-
ton. and may not survive
next years elections, is
almost universally admired
and respected. He is called
Der Alte"-the Old Man
by everyone, and the friend7
illness of the epithet is en-
hanced by the overtone from
Faust" known to every Ger
man as the Gettysburg
Address is known to every
American. In Goethe's play
the devil speaks of God as
Der Alte."
German television comes
in for considerable adverse
criticism on the grounds of
content, but I can attest it is
far superior to ours tech
nically. The image on the
screen is sharper, more con-
trasted and less distorted.
German radio, however, is a
much more important enter
prise today than television,
which is in the same state of
national acceptance as it was
with us in about 1850. What
I have seen in a German
radio station I leave for a
