JULY 29, 1963 ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH 3 C. L. Sulzberger Duty Keeps Adenauer Active Still BONN IT IS RARE FOR THOSE WHO ATTAIN POWER to shed What habit easily, and Konrad Adenauer is no exception. It is unlikely that the effective and far younger men now taking over in Bonn would have actually managed to edge the 87- year-old Chancellor toward retirement had not time conspired with them.

Yet Adenauer, a stubborn, wily man, has succeeded remarkably in outwitting time itself. Still erect and agile, although now perceptibly diminishing in stature, the aged Chancellor remains also alert and active. He is in no way prepared disappear politically just because fate and politics have joined to move him from the Palais Schaumburg to his rose-gardened house at Rhoendorf. On the contrary, he write his memoirs, a project intendactos, with enthusiasm, and to try to exert an off- Adenauer stage influence as elder statesman to insure that his basic policies are continued by those who succeed him in the autumn. When Ludwig Erhard takes the chancellorship he will find a substantial shadow peering across his shoulder.

It is sometimes strange how men judge themselves. Most people, when assaying Adenauer's historical role, would say his greatest achievement was restoring to the Germans a soul and self-respect, building democracy from the wrecked Nazi charnel house. But Adenauer himself thinks first of other accomplishments. THE FIRST WAS HIS INSISTENCE at a private meeting of 20 Christian Democratic leaders in 1949 that their party form a conservative-liberal coalition and eschew any deal with the Socialists. He mistrusted the Socialists' attitude towards Russia.

Today he believes his earlier adamancy set the pattern for all future German policy including membership in NATO. Also he thinks the forging of tight treaty bonds with France was primordially important. The Chancellor reckons West Germany alone could never exercise world influence; but acting jointly with France it can. Adenauer is confident that democracy, which cannot be "taught like a catechism," has now been soundly and wholly accepted by the Germans and is threatened from neither right nor left. This acceptance seems natural to him "for, after all, I have been a democrat since my childhood." The Chancellor concedes with a wry smile that his life has followed a remarkably different course from that which he originally set himself.

He wanted to be a modest notary In the countryside, with a happy family, just enough money to get along and "not too much work-but we cannot control our wishes." SINCE 1949 WHEN ADENAUER took the helm he has met most of this era's famous leaders. For him, the greatest of these was probably Foster Dulles. "I hesitate between Truman and Dulles," he admits. "But I knew Dulles better. Therefore I would say he was the man." Approaching a generation more than the traditional biblical allotment of years, Adenauer is still extraordinarily vital.

Nevertheless, the venerable Chancellor is not afraid to contemplate the final end. "It is perhaps a gift of God," he concedes, "that I myself have little if any fear. I can think of death with equanimity." A devout Catholic, he does not pretend, to any personal conception of what death really human knows the answer. If I could tell you that--yet no one can. I cannot imagine that the soul, which is our life, can dwindle into nothing when death comes.

Somehow it must continue to exist. "MAN IS NOT PERMITTED TO KNOW HOW -but it must. The origin of life, life itself, is as much of a mystery as death. We are unable to explain either phenomenon ourselves." Bismarck, into whose era Adenauer was born, was known AS the Iron Chancellor. Adenauer, because of his impassive features, is sometimes called the Wooden Chancellor.

This more nourishing expression is well applied to the carpenter who built German democracy. Adenauer has not been a profound thinker who sought to impress upon his people any novel philosophy nor has he been guided by profound thinkers of the past. His strength is the strength of simplicity. Says he: "The highest commandment has always been that which others hand on to -to do one's duty." He has done it. Doris Fleeson Kennedy Underestimated Governors WASHINGTON KENNEDY'S GIBE at the Governors was 3 mistake of an unlucky venture for Democrats.

The Governors retaliated by voting against everything hours of their conference, including several progiven the circumstances, no sensible politician offered. Chairman Albert D. Rosellini had a real right to feel aggrieved. Whether White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger was "unaware" of it or not, Rosellini had conferred with the President's political aides at the White House just prior to the conference on the policy and plans then in prospect. An apparent decision was made by or for the President to keep hands off.

National Chairman John Bailey underscored Washington disinterest by failing to appear on the scene until Monday night after the first skirmish had firmly set the pattern for the which began and ended the Yet there was no secret proposed to make. Gov. Nelson channels to announce that he rights. It was abundantly clear for no other reason than the ambitions. PRESIDENT the final smarting in the final posals that, would have Rosellini Democratic leadership failures session.

about the efforts Republicans Rockefeller had gone through would make his fight on civil that his heart was in it, if low tide of his presidential AGGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CHAIRMAN William E. Miller of New York, had announced that he would caucus with Republican Governors before the conference opened. He added that he would be accompanied by Ray Bliss, the shrewd Ohio strategist and national committeeman who is credited with having snatched Ohio from Kennedy in the closing weeks of the 1960 campaign. Washington may have assumed that Republicans would not unite but divide into Rockefeller-Goldwater factions. It is always easy for an Administration enjoying the immense leverage of the White House to forget that one has no little enemies.

Anyway, they had the votes, they thought. As no Kennedy has been a Governor, perhaps there was some underestimation of the office and the institution of the conference. Also, the White House has some absorbing problems of its own these days, including that test-ban treaty. STILL, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPARENT that if the conference got off the beam somehow, a directing political Intelligence had not been alerted to get in there and pitch for the Democrats. Rosellini was not up to that job.

Leading Democratic Governors repeatedly told reporters they had heard nothing from Bailey or the White House. They stoically admitted they were getting their lumps at the conference but hoped it wouldn't matter much back home. The fact that conference was heavily covered by newspapers, with Western Union doing a rousing business, the apparently escaped their attention. The President can console himself that the Governors were not taking alarm at the new treaty. Many of them quietly confessed to believing that American women would favor it heavily.
