Some Germans Soy Weakness by West
Might Force Nation Into Soviet Hands

West Germans, within rifle
shot of the Russian armies,
are willing to face the music.
But there is a small kernel
of truth in what Mr.. Khrush-
chev said to Fanfani. In the
highly unlikely event that a
compromise" on Berlin and
the German problem is ad-
vocated and reached by
Washington and the other
Western allies, Mr.. Adenauer
will not remain in office
more than a few hours. Who
would succeed him is uncer-
tain, for even his opportunist
political opponent, Berlin'S
Mayor Willy Brandt, will
refuse to assume office. But
somebody will.
I sat on a bench in the
Bad Nauheim park one after
noon with two Germans, one
a veteran labor leader from
the Ruhr who had been at
one time, after the war, SYM
pathetic to the Communists.
The other was a younger man
the head of an important
local of the German auto
mobile workers in Stuttgart
and a political opponent of
Mr.. Adenauer.
I showed them the Frank
furt newspaper story and
asked what they thought of
it. Here in essence is their
answer:
Impossible. so long as you
and the other allies stand
firm in your decision to re-
SiSt the Russian preSSureS.
Berlin is to all Germans, re-
gardlesS of political affilia-
tions and sentiments, as much
a German symbol as our ma
tional flag. 1t is not only the
fate of two million Berliners
or of the IA million East
Germans who are slaves of
the Communist regime at
issue. 1t is the fate of the
whole of Germany and also
of the world which is involved
in this crisis.
1--WE know little about the
complexities of international
diplomacy other than what
we read in newspapers and
discuss at our union gather
ings. But we can tell you this
without fear of being wrong:
if the Western powers head
ed by America become pan
icky at the last moment and
agree to yield-even with a
face-Saving device-to the
Russians, there is no doubt
that before a few years had
passed Germany would come

Mexico May Get
Plane Hiiucker

HAVANA, Aug. 19 (AP).-
Cuba's Fidel Castro regime is
thinking of sending Charles
Albert Cadon to Mexico to face
trial for hijacking q Pan Amer
ican World Anyways DC-8 jet
liner over Mexican territory
August 9 and forcing the pilot
to land the plane in Havana
A Foreign Ministry spokes-
man said today, however, no
final decision has been reached.
Mexico last Wednesday asked
Cuba to extradite the 25-year-
old Frenchman.
Mexico and Cuba have a
criminal extradition treaty and
it is believed Cuba will return
Cadon to Mexico rather than to
the United States, which also
wants the sometime New York
painter and waiter.
Cadon went to Mexico from
the United States by bus shortly
before the hijacking. The plane,
with 81 persons aboard, landed
safely in Havana and was

The well-informed Rome
correspondent of the reliable
West German newspaper
Frankfurter Allgemeine re-
Gently reported that Soviet
Premier Khrushchev asked
Italian Prime Minister Fan
FAM if he was very sure in
whose corner Germany may
be in the future"
According to the account,
the Red boss warned dur
ing their siX-hour talk of
the destructive consequences
of fighting for Berlin and
added: 1T is quite possible
that Adenauer will one of
these days be sitting across
this very table from me and
reach a direct understanding
with the Soviet Union"
THE German industry
badly needs" Mr.. Khru-
shchev repeatedly continued,
the raw materials Russia
possesses as well as its i'm
portant markets. Through us
she may also gain access to
the important Chinese mar
kets."
This was, of course, clum-
sy propaganda talk to weak
en- the determination of the
Italian government to stand
by the NATO in the expect
ed showdown this fall. No
body in Allied quarters
doubts the sincerity and will
of the Italian government
to live up to its agreements
with the West, of which Italy
is an integral part. But Mr..
KhruShchev had in mind
Premier Fanfani's political
difficulties in a country
which still casts close to
three million votes for Com
munistS at election times.
OF course, any idea that
Chancellor Adenauer will go,
hat in hand, to Moscow to
seek economic and political
co-eX.Stence, is ridiculous.
The chancellor and the over
whelming majority of the
German people are deter
mined to face all conSe-
quences of a showdown and
to make all sacrifices-pro-
vided their allies stand firm
on what is now termed all
over Europe the Kennedy

to terms with the Soviet
Union. We may need some of
the raw materials of Russia;
our industry could use the
still virgin Russian markets.
But the Russians actually
need us more thar we need
them.
"Khrushchev and his eco
nomic advisers realize that
the renewed strength of con-
tinental Europe has its source
in the German economic re-
covery. If West Germany
could be enticed into the Rus
sian camp because of your
abandonment, there is no
doubt that some German
leader might sit across the
table from Khrushchev to
discuss ways and means to
bring about integration of the
two economies. That would
sound the death knell of the
free world.
I'VE German workers in
the West were on the verge
of becoming Communists and
were encouraged toward that
end even by some of the civ
ilian administrators of your
military government in 1945
and 1916. But we repudiated
communism because it is to-
talitarian. We learned our
lesson with Hitler who also
promised the millennium for
the working man. We are
now ready for the supreme
sacrifice.
But should you decide
that standing up to Khru-
shchev might be too risky,
there might be no other al
tentative for us. Agents from
East Germany have been
talking to our labor leaders
about joining the East and
the Soviet Union-practical-
ly on our own terms. We
have steadfastly refused.
"Russia's economic condi-
ton is bad, despite all the
Dragging in Moscow. They
may have rocketry know
how which their scientists
have learned from the thou
sands of German scientists
who were enticed or forced
into Russia at the end of the
war. But they need the Ger
man know-how to make the
recent Khrushchev plans into
reality. They cannot do it
unless the 81 million Ger
mans in the West join them.
That is impossible so long as
the Western nations remain
determined to defend their
freedom which is at present
