California Swing to Right Suggested
As One Explanation for Tactical Shift

for airing their very conserv-
ative views. but his attack
on Kennedy policy is equally
spirited.
Opinions differ about why
he did it. Californians sug-
gest it is due to sharp swings
to the Right by the Young
Republicans of the State and
the Republican Assembly,
chiefly businessmen. who
were Nixon's original Spon-
sors. California reporters
are now writing that he will
have a hard fight for the
party nomination next June.
He would not be the only
politician alarmed by Right
wing strength in the State.
Democrats also are alright
ed, and they are wondering
how to keep their campaign
keyed to State issues rather
than having to run against
communism, Nehru and the
United Nations.
Inconsistency, Of course. is
nothing new in the Nixon
spectrum. He is one of the
few leading politicians in the
United States whose chame-
leon qualities are by now
taken completely for granted.
1t is rarely that anyone
bothers to compare pa S t
Nixon attitudes with his cur

vor Of communism. This is
because the brainwashing at
tempts of the early SOS did
not take. Dupes and fellow
travellers are nonexistent.
1t is becoming obvious to
anyone making an effort to
study modern Germany that
the Germans do not want
war of any kind. But it is
also a fact that they will
defend their country and risk
its great prosperity if they
must-even alone if nec-
essary. There are no pickets
demanding peace at any
price and the abolition of
the nuclear bomb, as are Of
ten seen in America. Britain
and. to a much lesser extent,
in France.
Socialism, that is to say
social progress for all levels.
is rapidly increasing, and is
to be found not only in the
German Socialist Party but
also in the Christian Dem
ocratic GROUP. But there is
no subversion-outside the
thousands of paid spies-and
no weakening of the national
structure of the country be-
cause of confused and ill
digested ideologies. from
which SO many free countries
are suffering.

BONN.-The German Sc
curity Service estimates that
there are $4,000 individuals
In West Germany who are
spying for Russia. Two hun
dred a week are caught, but
more come from East Ger
many. Czechoslovakia, Poland
and the USSR.
The German security is
competent, according to
American officials here. but
it is handicapped by lack of
manpower and leniency of
the courts.
The staff is dedicated to
the task, but it is small and
must work up to 60 to 10
hours a week. The small
size is not due to a short
age Of competent agents or
a lack of funds. Bundles Re-
public leaders fear that an
adequate increase Of this Sec
ret service might cause shouts
of "Gestapo." not only from
the enemy but also from al
lied nations, where some news
media already are joining
their voices to that of the
Communist states that Ger
many is tending once more
toward militarism and NaZ-
ism.
While even the originators
do not believe these accusa-
tions, the Bonn administra-
ton and the Bundestag are
concerned that an increase
in security personnel might
give foundation to the
charges.
Also, the laws make it
difficult to punish spies. Six
years ago the Third Republic
drafted laws dealing with
espionage. but for the same
reasons as above they were
purposely drawn to deal len
iently with the culprits. The
courts lean backward in favor
of the accused. and the max
imum sentence is 10 years
Imprisonment.
Only once has a heavy SEN
tence been passed on an in
dividual. 1t was in the case
of Bundestag member Fran
eel, a Sudeten German who
had settled in Bavaria from
Czechoslovakia at the end
of the war. AS a member of
the Socialist Parry, he was
