CONSTANTINE BROWN
Paris and Bonn Reported Fearful
OF Reversal by u. S. and EnqIond

in Bonn and Paris by the
American-British notes to
Mr.. Khrushchev that the
United States and Britain
are forgetting that the burn
ing question for Western
Europeans is Berlin and the
future of Germany and not
the Elusive disarmament
mirage. German and French
political leaders are asking if
the London and Washington
governments intend to throw
in the sponge over Berlin.
Do the governments of the
English-speaking nations now
regard the German question
as secondary and intend to
chase the will-o'-the-w isp-
total disarmament-a matter
which has beer discussed and
negotiated for the last half
century without bringing any
tangible results other than
new wars?
Mr.. Adenauer, who is an
ardent admirer of America,
is reported to be seriously
concerned. He knows that
Gen de Gaulle is unwilling to
attend any meeting with the
Russians unless there has
been a basic agreement on
Germany and Berlin. The
German Chancellor is be-
lieved to have urged Gen.
de Gaulle to attend an in
eVitable summit to provide
Germany with a stanch de-
fender.
There has been growing
uneasiness, which this COL
umn has reported since last
August, among the rank and
file of the Germans over the
new" American attitude in
this East-Wes crisis. It has
been noted in the German
press as well as by dis
tinguished German visitors to
the United States that while
the administration shows
every intention to stand firm,
a rash of reminders to the
American people of Nazi hor-
rorS has cropped up recently.

Attorney General Hailed for Defense
Of Americonism Aquinst Reds
RALPH McGILL

An award of merit from
the National Association of
Manufacturers (NAM) seems
in order for Robert Kennedy.
Not in our time has any
American so effectively ex-
planned and so defended our
system as has the young At
torney General in appear
ances in Japan and Indo-
nesia. He did it the hard
way-by confronting Commu-
mist elements face to face and
letting the audience see and
hear the conformation. In
none was he bested. In each
he left the opponent discom-
forted.
We have had pedantic
stuffy and trite explanations
of American capitalism. But
in Tokyo Mr.. Kennedy was
superb.
The right-wing partisan
Republican voice has been an
unimaginative whine asking
that Mr.. Kennedy come
home. There was one G. o. P.
exception. Richard Nixon,
having met and tested the
Kennedy steel, came forward
with what was an all-Ameri-
can comment. He praised
Robert Kennedy for being
"tough-minded, quick, intei-
ligent, and possessed of a ire
mendous will to win"
Mr.. Kennedy was repre-
senting the American people.
He is, of course, the brother
of the President of the United
States. Because of this his
words inescapably took on a
quasi-official coloring. How
lucky for us that this is true!
1t made his success the more
impressive.
Mr.. Kennedy not merely
got into Tokyo. He was heard.

2of3Congress Districts
Found Mainly Urban

I437 congressional districts, 300
had populations more than so
per cent urban.
Rural population exceeded
urban in 1877 districts.
Republicans took a party
stand against the planned
Urban Affairs Department, say
ing it was unnecessary and
would put more power in the
hands of the Federal Govern
ment. The Republicans COM
bined with Southern Democrats
to kill Mr.. Kennedy's plan.
The Census Bureau study
showed that of the 300 con-
gressional districts in which the
urban population exceeds the
rural population, 207 were two
thirds or more urban. This
included 80 districts that were
100 per cent urban.
OF the 1877 districts more
rural than urban, Al were two
thirds or more rural.
IL Rural States
On a Statewide basis, the
1860 census data showed the
urban population exceeded the

Dakota, IS; South Carolina, Al;
South Dakota, 80 Vermont, 80;
West Virginia, 38.
The most urban of the States
was New Jersey, with 80 per
cent of the population so classi-
fled. More than four out of
five residents were living in
urban territory in five other
States: California, Sc per cent:

ROME.-Political and dip
lomatic quarters are arguing
the implications of the re-

The decision for the Ba-

by the cabinet in Paris after
discussing and interpreting

would consider a summit
meeting if the disarmament
dis cuSsi on s-to open in
March at Geneva-indicated
encouraging success, have
caused concern and surprise
in Paris and Bonn.
The matter of a meeting
between the chiefs of state
of the principal NATO pow
ers and the Kremlin boss
had been taken for granted
for some time in European
capitals. But it was also taken
for granted that the main
subject would be an equit-
able settlement (from our
point of view of the Berlin
question. Also a topic would
be the prospects for unity of
Germany and, only as a cor
ollary, the first steps for a
disarmament agreement. For,
after the German question
was solved, general disarma-
ment-both nuclear and con-

About 100 young Communists
were among 5000 students
who damned an auditorium
built to seat 1000. This, with
authorities unable to move,
created a situation ripe for
Communist agitation. Mr..
Kennedy shouted them down.
He demanded the Communist
spokesman come up and de-
bate. He held out the micro
phone. The Communists cut
the wiring, plunging the au-
ditorium into darkness. Fist
fights broke out. But Mr..
Kennedy kept talking. Lights
were restored. The Presidents
brother still was there, in
control of the podium.
Perhaps his best perform
ance, and the one that should
win him the sincere ap-
probation and admiration OF
all those who really care for

tenn, was one which pitted
him against the 39-year-old

cal left had one standard for

gary.

lion from $6.6 million by an
additional 100000 shares of

Authorized capital Of the

is stapled to each share of the

Directors have proposed that

the corporation be given au-
thority to issue any or all of
the new authorized stock with
out first offering the securities
to stockholders in proportion to
the number Of shares already
held by them.
1.-THE trust company and the
corporation believe that oppor-
tunities may arise in which they
may be able to exchange their
stock of "stapled" units in the
customa airy form for assets
which they could not otherwise
acquire on reasonable terms, "
said the letter signed by Robert
c. Baker, president of both the
bank and corporation.
Sometimes such opportuni-
ties are available only for linn
tied periods of time and require
immediate and unconditional
commitments which become
impractical if prior stakeholder
action must be taken each
time" the letter added.
1T is essential that directors
be free to enter into such trans
actions without first offering
such shares to stockholders on
a pre-emptive rights basis, it
said.
Therefore, the proposals au-
thorize the boards of directors
to so act when in their judge
ment such action will be of sig
nificant advantage.
1T is emphasized, however,
that the proposals presented for
your approval do not authorize
the elimination of pre-emptive
rights where a proposed issu-
ance Of stock is for the pri-
mary purpose of increasing
paid-in capital as distinguished
from, for example, acquiring as
sets other than cash."
The Controller of the Curren-
cy has given his approval to the
trust company having 100000
shares of authorized by unis-
sued stock. However, his specif-
ic approval would have to be OBJ
tanned in each instance before
any of the authorized but unis-
sued stock could be issued, the
letter declared.
