A Motive Of Homburs
He grew up In the busy seaport
City Of Hamburg, where his 85-
year-old father has owned and
managed q haberdashery all hts
life. His long legal training gave
him a special appreciation for the
precise and sometimes legalistic

late Secretary of State Dulles,
with whom Ambassador Grewe
worked in the early stages of the
1958-59 Berlin crisis.
When Mr.. Dulles made his last
trip to Europe in February 1853,
Ambassador Grewe recalls, he was
already plagued by the heavy alb

did he believe he had it.
Aware that his health was an
important factor in DR.. Adenaueris
foreign policy planning, Mr..
Dulles informed the Chancellor
in Bonn that he did not have
cancer, as the newspapers were
then speculating. AS soon as he
returned, Secretary Dulles entered
Walter Reed Army Medical Gen.
ter for the checkup which was to
disclose that he did have cancer
after all.
Ambassador Grewe remembers
with melancholy admiration that

Philippine Election an Inspiration to Democratic Processes

tic Garcia and Macapagal see
eye-to-eye on foreign policy. 1t is
largely a question of the "outs"
wanting to get in, and the "ins"
wanting to stay in.
And, for this reason, the Phil
ippine elections may not get all
the attention they really deserve.
There may, of course, be a few
bullets flying. There usually are.
The Filipino temperament is a
fiery one. There will probably be
some bribery, some votes bought
