Oklahoma Plans
Recount of Vote

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 26
(AP)--The Oklahoma State
Election Board was to meet to-
day to iron out details of a
recount of votes in Tuesdays
Democratic primary runoff for
Governor.
Raymond Gary called for the
recount yesterday after official
returns showed him trailing
w. P. Bill Atkinson by 449
votes.
Mr.. Gary, a former Governor,
emphasized he was not alleging
fraud, but though enough hon.
est mistakes may have been
made to change the outcome.
Unless there is a reversal OF
the tally at the end of the re-
count, Atkinson will face Re-
publican nominee Henry Bell
mon in the general election in
November.

The Civil Aeronautics Board
threatened Southern Airways
yesterday with possible loss of
its operating license unless it
resumes efforts to settle a q
year-old strike dispute with the
Air Line Pilots Association.
The decision was described
as the first Of it's kind. The
airline. which serves 60 cities
in the South from its head
quarters in Atlanta, has con.
tinued to operate with non.
union pilots. f#aflt
The airline said today in At
lanta it will appeal the ruling
either through the CAB OIL
through the courts. Such an
appeal likely would delay the
30-day deadline set by the
CAB.
The Pilots Association has
accused the company Of trying
to break the union, and Govern
ment officials were known to
feel that if Southern succeeded
in ousting the union it might
open up a whole series Of labor
troubles on the feeder airlines.
The CAB ruled, 3 to 2, that
the airline was guilty of unfair
and illegal bargaining tactics
in refusing to accede to the un-
ions demand that substitute
pilots be dismissed to make way

Speedup Plan
The Republican plan would

Senator Case estimated this

Puzzle in Adenouer Government

made considerable capital of
the case.
Oberlaender now has been
returned to favor by Ade-
naur after a Bonn District
Court ruled it did not have
enough evidence to convict
him of atrocities. Chancellor
Adenauer then publicly con-
graduated him and restored
him to a position in the gov
ernment. He is in charge of
a committee which will ad-
minister the Oder-Neisse ter
ritOry if it is ever returned
to West Germany by the
Russians and the PoleS-a
most unlikely event. and a
job with no foreSeeable fu-
ture.
Die Welt" perhaps the
most influential newspaper
in West Germany, has de-
plored Adenauer'S decision.
Oberlaender is one of a great
many former NaziS whose
presence in the government
is an embarrassment to al
most everyone.
1t is true, of course, that
many ex-NaziS are complete
ly loyal to the present West
German constitution. They
sincerely have enounce
their former association. But
Oberlaender, perhaps unjust
ly, perhaps not, has always
been suspect. AS one of the
original Hitler men. he SUBJ
scribed paSsionately to the
murderous Nazi racial theo-
rieS. He was an officer in the
brown-shirted storm troopers
that committed so many
atrocities during the Hitler
years.
The Communists, of course
welcome the Adenauer deci-
sion. Oberlaender has be-
come a symbol that Commu-
mist propagandists use to
sustain their charge that the
Adenauer government is Nazi
in spirit. 1t is not. Adenauer
was himself imprisoned by
Hitler. But why he insists on
having the dubious Oberlaen-
der around is a puzzle-and
a danger.

Grating us officially while at

intellectual citizens, when,
while you are giving us the
cold shoulder, you are
showering the YugoSlavs with
nearly 50 billion in the mis-
taken belief that you will de-
tach them from Moscow. And
you are now courting and
flirting with the USSR in the

promises which you m u S t
know it will never keep. You
give tens of millions to Po-

whose governments are as
ruthless relationships as
those in Russia and China.
What can your objective
be in making this differen-
tiation between governments
such as in Portugal, where
the people enjoy most free

one of the few Jewish sur
vivors of the massacres in
Lemberg. The West German
newspaper Die Welt made it

said that he was l8 at the

that he and about 500 other
Jews had been arrested ano
made to run the gantlet"

Most of she captiveS. he

en- to death with dubbed
rifles. Not a shot was fired.
He himself. he said, had been
clubbed and had fallen to
the ground. The bodies of
two other men fell across
him. Later, when a Jewish
working party was sent to
remove the bodies, he was
assisted to escape. Goldberg
also said that he had seen
some 200 political prisoners
murdered by the Russians a
few days before the brutal
killings by the pro NaZi
Ukrainians. Prof. Oberlaender
was the commander of the
Ukrainian regiment.
The outcry from Germans
in East and West Germany
forced Oberlaender to resign
in 1860. The Social Demo-
cratic Party was one of the
strongest critics, calling OBJ
erlaender "a disgrace to de-

The Senate is expected to
pass a Scaled-down version Of
the administrations emergency
public works bill Monday.
Democrats and Republicans
have not been able to get to-
gether Oil a compromise, with
the result that each group has
drafted alternative substitutes
for President kennedy's origi-
nal bill.
The odds are strongly in ia
vor of adoption of the Demo-
cratic substitute, in view of
their heavy majority of GA to
So seats in the Senate. With
such a majority, it is not likely
there would be enough cross
ing of party lines to pass a
Republican plan in an election
year.

Theodore Oberlaender was
one of the more ardent Nazi
leaders. Adolf Hitler early
won his loyalty. Oberlaender
was one of those who par
ticipated in the abortive Mu-
Mich beer-hall plot in 1928
when Hitler's a tier mpt at
revolution failed. Mr.. Ade-
nauer's liking for him, and use
of him, long has been one of
the mysteries of that inflexi-
BILE old man who has done
so masterful a job with West
Germany.
The skeletons in the Ober-
laender closet have always
made a noise. In 1860, an
East German court indicted
him on a charge of having
commanded troops that COM
mitted mass murders in the
Southern Polish city of Lem
berg CLwow) in 1941. A West
German investigating COM
mittee was accused. by East
German sources, of having
been corrupted and bought
off.
So warm was the contro-
versy, the committee ended
its deliberations without a
conclusion. Oberlaender was
compelled to resign from the
Adenauer cabinet. He made
sweeping denials. 1t is posi-
BILE, as he claimed, that some
of the evidence was forged.
But he could not deny that
he was in Lemberg in l94l.
He claimed, however, the
massacres were the work of
retreating Russians and that
not a shot had been fired
by his pro-German Ukraini-

soon as the ice was broken,
he asked me, why do you

the head of state in Spain

tator Franco and those be-
hind the Iron Curtain as

1t was a poser indeed, and
I had some difficulty in
answering. I reminded the
professor that neither Presi-

speeches qualify Prime Min
isters Salazar or Franco as
dictatorS.

quaintance went on to probe.

a great differentiation be-
tween the regimes in Portu-
gal and Spain and those in
Moscow, Warsaw and Bel
grade. For the Iberians you
have only brickbats; for the
Communists only flowers"
he said.
The reason he asked this
is that there is individual
freedom in the Iberian Pc
ninSula. There is freedom of
worship; any foreigner can
come and go without political
interference and without a
passport visa. There are no
irksome currency exchange
regulations, and the farmers
