threat must be met forcefully
and West Germany must make
its contribution to that end.
Nobody wants civil war with
West Germans fighting East
Germans. But there Is one
thing worse than war and that
is to be conquered by a foreign
power" Mr.. HeuSs declared.
The Bonn government limits
q President to two five-year
terms and when a movement
was launched in 1859 to enable
him to seek a third term, Mr..
Heuss himself put a stop to it.
He prided himself on being "a
citizen President" and felt two
terms were enough.
Served With Adenauer
AS President, Mr.. Heuss
served with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer the venerable states
man who in October gave up
his office to Ludwig Erhard.
Mr.. Heuss was not of Mr..
Adenauer's party, the Christian
Democratic Union, but was
elected first chairman of the
Free Democratic Party in 1913.
Even then he diSclaimed par
tisanship in politics and tried to
bring opposing factions togeth-
er.
Mr.. Heuss' FDP now forms a
coalition at Bonn with Mr.. Err
hard's CDU.
AS a journalist, Mr.. HeuSs'
career dates to the days Of the
last Kaiser, Born in Bracken-
helm, Wuerttemberg, son of an
old Swabian family of farmers,
game wardens and Protestant
clergymen, Mr.. Heuss moved to
Berlin after World War I. He
was then already a successful
editor.
From 1920 on he lectured at
the German Academy Of Politi-
cal Science. His 1882 book,
"Hitler's Way" caused him
disfavor with the Nazis Of
Adolf Hitler and in 1888 Mr..
Heuss was dismissed and his
books were burned.
After the collapse Of Hitler
Germany, Mr.. HeuSs declared
The Germans must recognize
the full cruelty Of the crimes
which were committed by Ger
mans"
Mr.. Heuss married Ely
Knapp, daughter of q WELL
known economist, in 1908. She
died in 1852 after a long ILL
ness.

Theodor Heuss Dies;
Headed Bonn Republic

STUTTGART. Germany.
Dec. Is (AP).-Theodor Heuss,
70. the first President of the
West German government that
emerged from the ashes of
World War II, died last night.
His physician son, DR.. Ernst
HeusS. made the announcement
at the family's Stuttgart home
where Mr.. Heuss dies from q
lingering illness that last Au-
gust required amputation Of
his left leg. DR.. HeuSs gave cir
culatory failure as the cause Of
death. His father had been IN
conscious since last night.
DR.. HeuSs said the ex-Presi-
dent never fully had recovered
from the amputation to halt
the spread Of gangrene, and Q
cold turn in the weather
brought on the last crisis.
Mr.. Heuss was IS when elect
ed by West Germany's first
Federal Assembly as President
in 1919. He was reelected In
1854 by the second Federal As
sembly sitting in Berlin, where
after World War I Mr.. Heuss
had served as city councilman.
Travelled Widely
A longtime Liberal Democrat,
Mr.. HeuSs formed an image as
Papa Heuss" in the presiden-
cy. The white-haired politician,
historian, journalist and author
was seen everywhere in the
country. He also Travelled wide
ly abroad.
In 1858 he visited the United
States and addressed Congress.
Speaking slowly in German,
Mr.. HeuSs then declared, "Nev-
er again shall German and
American soldiers fight each
other never again Will
Germany depart from the path
Of dem ocracy and
freedom it Is our sincere
resolve to be good and depend
able allies"
Concerning Russia. Mr..
Heuss believed the Soviet
