LOWER TILLAGE COSTS
SOUGHT Agricultural engin-
eers at Iowa State University
report that they are testing farm
equipment designed to reduce
the power and costs required
for tillage operations. One
machine they have developed is
a strip tiller that uses the prin-
ciple of the rotary tiller. 1t
culivates a l0-inch strip pre-
ceding the corn planter. This
method approaches once-over
operation, which reduces the
time required for preparing the
soil for planting. The Iowa en-
gineers say that the use of the
strip-till operation reduces the
power required for tillage, cuts
operating costs and lowers the
machinery investment for till
age implements.

A Charter Member
Mr.. Ulbricht served three years
in World War I. When he came
back to Leipzig, he heard about
Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Lieb-
knect in Berlin, 100 miles away.
They had set UP a violent rev.
dictionary movement called the
SpartakuSbund and the 25-year-
old Saxon joined. In 1920, the
bund became the German Com
munity Party. Mr.. Ulbricht at
tended the organization meeting,
an important point for his flu
ture advancement in the party.
He was a crusading operator
from the first. Taking his. cue
from Josef Stain, he proceeded
to purge the party of Trotskyites,
news that got to the man in
Moscow. Stain was so impressed
he personally picked the Leipziger
in 1925 to unity the German
party. 1t consisted Of more dis
senting factions than closed
membership cadres. Stain or
dered Mr.. Ulbricht to GUST the
intellectuals and bolshevize the
German party. Obeying his mas
ter'S voice, he did just that, and

tary of the exiled Communist
Party. Mr.. Thalmann had been
arrested and thrown into Buchen-
valid, where he died in 1914.
Mr.. Ulbricht first took refuge
in Prague and then Paris. Mean
while, Hitler staged his dress re-
hearsal for World War II by
sending German volunteers" to
take part in the Spanish Civil
War. Mr.. Ulbricht was there, too,
on the other side. And again. not
as a fighter. Instead, he was a
political commissar, who from his
base in Albacete purged West
European anti-Stalin Commu-
niStS.
After Spain, he settled down
in Moscow with his girl friend,
Lotto Kuhn, in the Komintern's
Hotel Lux. OF the other German
Communists who fled to the So
Wet Union, 5000 were killed or
sent to labor camps. Mr.. Ulbricht
didn't interfere to help them. In
stead he plodded along at his
job, trying to do whatever Stain
wished.
Flown to Burning Berlin
In 1913, he was given control
of the National Committee for a
Free Germany, an organization
set up by Moscow to win over
German war prisoners, encourage
assertions from the Wehrmacht
and to incite the people of Ger
many to rise against Hitler. The
committee failed dismally in its
efforts, but it did form the nu-

They also were honored guests
at a gala New Years Eve party
at Camp Libertad, the former
Camp Colombia army base, and
provided bleacher seats January
2 for a mammoth military pa
rade which presented for the first
public view the Communist bloc

The tour members also were
urged, via a bulletin board an
nouncement in their hotel head
quarters, to notify their con-
gresSmen Immediately upon their
return home that a more under
standing attitude should be taken
toward Cuba, and full trade re-
lations resumed.
Ohio Salesman Impressed
A sampling of opinion among
the tour members taken on the
scene, provided these views:
"I've seen enough to convince
me this is one of the most pro-
greSsive and challenging social
changes to take place in the
Western Hemisphere since the
Civil War" according to George
Chamalou, a salesman from Ak
ron, Ohio. after seeing the Rev.
olution in action, I'm convinced
the Cuban people will shed their
last drop Of blood to defend their
gains"
Another Fair Play tourist,
Harry PETE, a New York City
children's camp director at that
time, found most impressive the
fact they're building fantastic
schools on the parts Of the is
land we saw and thousands

Mr.. Pertz also was impressed
by the construction of public rec

First reports coming back from
the SO United States college stu
dents now on a self-appointed
"fact- finding" month-long tour of
Communist Cuba indicate Fidel
Castro hasn't abandoned one of
his most effective propaganda
weapons, the gullible American
tourist.
A similar tour was conducted
in the closing days of 1860 and
early 1861. 1t produced prop
uganda beneficial to the bearded
visionary, and returned to the
United States some 400 persons
firmly convinced that Castro was
really all right, and the United
States all wrong in its attitude
toward him.
An earlier tourist-luring scheme
invoked was that Of the Cuban
Tourist Commission. This pro-
vided refund of half the air fare
cost to Cuba in pesos
to those visiting CUBA during the
year-end holiday period, during
which, of course, Mr.. Castro pro-
vided a mammoth celebration of
his revolutionary victory.
New US. Regulations Due
The break in diplomatic rela-
tons January 4, 1861, cost Mr..
Castro the tourist propaganda
medium. Apparently the Cuban
Student Federation and the Insti-
tute Cubano de Amistad con los
Pueblos, QCAP). the Cuban gov
ernmental organizations sponsor
ing the current student tour, have
been able to convince the SO in
volved that it's worthwhile to risk
fines and Jail sentences to view
firsthand the glories of the new
Cuba.

the march of protest. The word
spread. Workers, farmers, house.
wives, everyone thronged the
streets Of Leipzig, Halle, Magde-
burg, Dresden, Erfurt, Chemnitz.
They shouted for butter not
guns" and for free elections.
Mr.. Ulbricht responded with Red
army tanks and armored cars,
followed by steel-helmeted Rus
sian infantry in open trucks. The
demonstrators had only stones
with which to meet the armor.
Their linked-arm attempts to
stand were moved down. The re-
volt failed.
At first it was thought that
Mr.. Ulbricht was through. Mos
COW sent investigating commit
tees, one after another. Mr.. III
BRIGHT met them with the argu-
ment that if he were ousted, the
people would believe they had
won after all, and would try
again.
Seen Stronger Thon Ever
Mr.. Ulbricht is stronger than
ever today. Recently, he declared
publicly what has been true for
many years, that the Council of
State, of which he is the chair
man, is the major governing au-
thority the Premier or his
cabinet. He is in charge Of the
military establishment, the courts,
judges and attorneys. However,
he is still plagued with economic
troubles. Wages are low, hours
are long, production is tagging
and prices are high for the goods
that are available.
The East German chief lives
in a modest one-family house.
It's located in a closely guarded
section of East Berlin called
Pankow. To get there, you drive

Berliner Strasse toward OSsietsky

live on MajowSki Ring, which is
surrounded by barbed wire and
before which there is a barrier
similar to those on the borders
of foreign countries.
AS the visitor drives up, he is
stopped by an armed guard and
taken on foot to a guardhouse.
The guard phones a comrade
lieutenant to check on admit
lance. If the answer / affirma-
tive, another guard acts as an
escort on the 10-minute walk. At
the house, still another guard
steps out and issues another chal-
lenge. Credentials are examined q
fourth time before the visitor is
admitted to the reception room,
to see his Russian excellency.
For Walter Ernst Karl Ulbricht
is Russian citizen. He obtained
his papers while in Moscow 16
years ago, and continues to hold
them.

the people of a nation. The free
world was stunned.
The question might have been
answered if the people of West
Berlin had seen Russia's No. l
man in Germany as he looked
over the barbed wire at the Pots
damerplatz gate two days later.
Sullen and angry West Berliners
were there and some might con-
ceivably have seen him. In a
light gray suit and cream-c olored
straw hat he could have been
easily spotted, but no one who
knew Mr.. Ulbricht'S character
would have believed he would ex-
pose himself to danger in those
supercharged days.
East Berliners at the corner of
the Friedrichstrasse and Inter
den Linden did recognize their
leader" as he sped toward the
Brandenburg Gate In his big
black Russian I'll limousine. IN
til the police forced the crowd
back, they cried "Pfui! Pfui!
Pfui"
Mr.. Ulbricht is easily recog-
nizable because of his goatee.
Those who have been face to face
with him remark most, however,
about his eyes. Those eyes, be-
hind rimless bifocals, squint.
They are no more imposing than
the rest of the features of the
man who looks more like a con-
fused small-town dignitary than
the dictator trusted with the front
door of the Communist empire.
To Look Like Lenin
The goatee, Germans say, is
sported by this little man to
make him look more like Lenin,
and also to hide a receding chin
that would make him look weak.
However. Mr.. Ulbricht is suave,
discursive and able to rattle off
the Communist line with fluent
Self-aSsurance. He's not flustered
at any time-at least outwardly.
Faced with a battery of television
and radio microphones and a fir
ing line of motion picture and TV
cameras, his stodgy figure re-
mains impassive and his stubby
hands avoid excited gestures. The
staid-looking little man who holds
control of the destiny Of II million
people, has full control of himself,
too.
He has come far from the day
70 years ago when he was born
to tailor'S wife in Leipzig. When
he was IA, Walter left school and
became a cabinetmakers' appren-
tice. He practiced his trade only
few years, but he still proudly
lists it as his occupation. It's i'm
portant for Communist leader
to be able to say he once was a
worker. Mr.. Ulbricht's sponsor,
Mr.. Khrushchev, as they posed
before television cameras at the
recent convention of the East

won new Red stars on his report
card in the Kremlin.
During this period, the party
tried to overthrow the young
German attempt at democracy in
Weimar by armed riots. Some Of
these violent uprisings rose al
most to civil war. Mr.. Ulbricht
helped foment the disorders. but
there is no evidence that he took
part in any of them. He followed
the dictum, Lets you and him
fight" At the same time, for
prestige purposes, he liked to
leave the impression that he was
often ION the barbados"
Elected to Reichstog
Nevertheless, by 1928, Mr.. u
BRIGHT won enough reputation in
the proper places to be given a
place on the Communist list of
Reichstag deputies. After his cleo
ton, he was grandly proud. On
one occasion, Ernst Thalmann,
the party leader, boarded a train
at Berlin railway station and
took his seat in a third-class
railway coach. Mr.. Ulbricht did
not join his colleague. He pa
raded to the plush first-claSs Sec
ton.
In the Reichstag from 1880 to
1888, when Hitler took over, Mr..
Ulbricht and the rest Of his party
were together on one thing-the
death of the republic.
In 1884, when Hitler had ban
ished his former fellows in crime,
Mr.. Ulbricht became the secre-

ing them right into Khrushchev's
arms" Mr.. Pertz declared. But,
he said, eff we change our at
titude and our policy. we can
still come out ahead"
There also were college students
visiting Cuba separate from the
Fair Play group, but at the same
time. Among them were five
Swarthmore pa College stu
dents, on a tour guided by one
of their professors. Sophomore
Miriam Feingold, quizzed as to
her impressions, en- route to her
plane for return to the United
States said: "It was very impress
sive, but we didn't have time to
see too much"
Another Swarthmore student,
who declined to identify himself,
said: tits fantastic what they've
done to benefit the people. The
government is really helping
them" A graduate economics stu
dent at the University Of Chi
cago, who refused to give his
name ito avoid trouble with the
government" was interviewed. He
had gone by train, not as tour
member, to Santiago, provincial
capital of Oriente province, birth
place of Castro'S rebellion. His
wife accompanied him.
What they saw "has certainly
been a revelation to u.s." the
youth declared. Their visit, he
said, had made him disappointed
with the State Department and
distrustful of the Pentagon and
the Central Intelligence Agency"
No Bosic Dislike of Americans
He also said he felt the United
States press lacks objectivity,
particularly with respect to re-
porting Cuban affairs.
This visitor, as did the others,
said he found no basic dislike
by Cubans of the American peo-
pie, only of the official United
States stand toward the Cuban
government. Yankee. mol" Isn't
directed toward the entire govern
ment, certainly not the United
States Department Of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare" the stu
dent said.
II think Americans should be
very concerned with what Cuba
means to Latin America, not to
the governments but to the peo-
pie. People who have seen wealth
will not put up with poverty.
Other Latin Americans look at
Cuba and ask when does 1t hap
pen to u.s." he said.

NoubEipuJink WElteEs
Soviet Premier Khrushchev last
week used the excuse of the 10th
birthday Of Walter Ulbricht to
visit East Berlin in an attempt
to counterfeit the highly success
full West Berlin appearance of
President Kennedy.
The goat bearded Mr.. Ulbricht,
the most durable dictator in any
Communist satellite country, re-
mains firmly fixed after Is years
in his post as First Secretary Of
the Social Unity (Communist)
Party and much of the outside
world still knows little of his per-
sonal history.
The canny Communist has
continued to sit, exuding conf
dence, in the gray concrete head
quarters on Prinzenallee in East
Berlin, while Moscow, Warsaw,
Prague, Budapest and Sofia have
suffered drastic and sometimes
bloody changes in their heads of
state. Cold-blooded, calculating
Mr.. Ulbricht has kept his post
though no one in his country,
even including the East German
Premier Otto Grotewohl, likes
him.
3 Million Quit 'Porodise'
Everyone knows how almost
8 million East Germans have
showed what they thought of Mr..
Ulbricht as they escaped from
the Red police state. Physicians,
jurists, lawyers, engineers, police
men, merchants, skilled workers
the kind without which no ma
ton can live-have fled to the
West. Today, to make up for
these lost workers. almost half
Of East Germany's labor force,
46.4 per cent, are women.
The Wall has held back the
flow, but it has not made the
people in the workers and farm
ers' paradise like their jailer
better.
The Wall was Ulbricht's own
idea, but he had Nikita Khru-
shchev'S permission. Before dawn
on August 10, 1861, the man who
rules East Germany with the
backing of % Soviet divisions
proclaimed that the borders be-
tween East and West Berlin were
sealed to movement of Berliners
either way.
With motorcycles clearing the
path, jeeps and truckloads Of
troops, followed by monster tanks,
rushed to the border on the east
side. At each main street, troops
dismounted and set themselves
up with guns at the ready. Other
trucks discharged barbed wire,
stone and concrete blocks and &C.
ment. Workmen carried on other
trucks hastily erected q wall 5
feet high that followed every turn
of the Emile line that divided
