6-X FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS. Saturday. Oct 17. lie Arms-Making In W. Germany litcredse BONN, Germany.

W) Arms-making la on the increase in West Germany, and American money and technical know-howalmost by accident are Riving it a bis boost. Just how far it will go remains to be seen. U.S. government officials say they are watching the development with interest and some concern. The defense ministry says it has no desire to see a major arms Industry grow up again in Germany bat adds It can't do anything to prevent Americans from spending their money and how they wish.

American and German industrialists agree that arms-making is not the major concern of American investors here. But, a German official said, "who can say where arms production begins and ends." The statement came from Rudolf Richter, director of the stock market division of the influential German bank. He and American experts agree there are three major factors in the ever-increasing flow of U.S. dollars into German industry: FIRM FOOTHOLD IN MARKET 1. Americans want to get a firm foothold in the European market, particularly in Germany, before the six-nation common market erects a formidable tariff wall against American goods.

2. American investors estimate their money can go further where production costs, particularly labor, are cheaper than at home. 3. Americans feel that West Germany is going to grow more and more important as an arms producer and that profit is to be had in the field. "Bat the latter point is essentially a by-prodnct of the first two," says RIchter.

American officials point out that the major area of U.S. investment in the field of defense production has been aircraft. U.S. money is going chiefly into the building of wholly owned subsidiary plants rather than in purchase of shares in Germany industry. The U.S.

Chamber of Commerce office in West Berlin reports there are now about 350 wholly owned American firms operating in West Germany and Berlin. There also are numerous firms in which Germans and Americans share ownership. The number of these could not be learned. SIMILAR GROWTH IN FRANCE A similar growths of U.S. investment is reported in France, and.

to a lesser degree, in the other four countries of the common market Italy, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg. The German defense ministry is in a bit of a box. It does not want to let the impression get abroad, particularly in the Communist world, that Germany is once again to become a war arsenal. At the same time Defense Minister Franz-Josef Strauss says increased arms production will give West Germany more of a say in NATO councils. A spokesman for Strauss said yesterday, "it is entirely untrue that West Germany will develop a great arms industry with or the help of U.S.

capital." West Germany is barred by treaties' from producing the more powerful weapons of war. such as atomic bombs, battleships and long-distance missiles. But it can build aircraft, tanks, short-range missiles, sophisticated electronic equipment and the like. Many of these items are produced by companies which have their primary interest in civilian production. The biggest single military project in the foreseeable future is the production under license here of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, selected by the defense ministry as the new Luftwaffe's basic jet fighter.

The Germans plan to have about 300 of these aircraft but are buying less than a third of them in the United States. The others are being built under license at the Heinkel and Messerschmitt plants, former makers of German military aircraft in World Wars I and H. lit, IP alias Truman Ta Ik Films Replace CBS Quizzes TV Ban Criticized' NEW YORK, iff) "I am stunned.

Truman was in his second day of a Texas tour with the Osceola County sheriff's department for past three years. Tindall has returned to Ft.

McDonald their answer on his latest offer. The reply could take the form of a counter-proposaL It was noted that the union's new offer, paring down prior money demands about a third, would do-nothing toward meet ing the management demand for more freedom in changing work practices to gain economies.

The industry probably will want some concession here, even a token one. The union proposal of around 10 cents per hour in each of two years was designed to have an anti-inflationary appeal by concentrating the money exclusively in insurance, pension and other benefits for the first year. The second year's installment would be in a wage hike. Previously McDonald had been holding out for 15 cents per hour for each year of a new contract. Both sides operated under a 48-hour deadline.

They are scheduled to report back Sunday morning at an open hearing before the White House inquiry panel headed by George W.xTaylor. Taylor's three-man group is supposed to file a report Monday with President Eisenhower, after which the Chief Executive will be free to seek a court injunction that would halt the strike for 80 days. This schedule is subject to change, it was indicated, if the disputants appear to be getting i somewhere and need a little more leeway. But if a new deadlock develops it is clear an in junction will be sought before many days. NO COASTAL TAX? WOMAN HOPES NOT LONDON IUPI1 An elder ly woman has decided that income tax collection called "inland revenue" in Britain would be much more for midable if renamed.

According to the journal of the Society of Civil Servants, she refused to pay her tax and explained: "I am not liable to inland revenue as I live on the coast." WtATHlK NHM bia Broadcasting System nrpr fivpri Framer's statement fol lowed announcement in New Orleans by CBS Pres ident Frank Stanton that his network Is eliminating all TV shows involving awards of big money or expensive prizes. Stanton identified the shows to be cancelled as "The Big Fay-Off," "Top Dollar," and "Name That Tune." Since last year CBS has abandoned "Dotto," "The Question." "The $64,000 Challenge," and "For Love Or Money." An NBC spokesman said yesterday that NBC had no comment on the Stanton 'announcement, made before a meeting of radio and TV news directors. The American Broadcasting said it had no shows in the Quiz category. It said its audience participation shows consisted of stunts, music and comedy. The House investigating sub-committee, which has been concentrating on NBC's "Twenty-One" and other NBS quiz programs no longer on the air, is in recess until Nov.

2. The discontinued CBS "$64,000 Question" and 000 Challenge" also will come under subcommittee scrutiny. in New York, CBS announced that "top dollar" and "The Big Pay-Off" would be replaced by reruns of filmed TV plays, starting Monday. The shows had appeared during the day from Monday through Friday. Nothing was said immediately about replacement plans for "Name That Tune," which gives as much as $25,000 to a pair of contestants who can identify the music played.

Harry Salter, the show's creator and producer, said last night he did not consider the show a quiz, adding: "It's the only program where expert knowledge is not required. We play songs people have heard all their lives." CBS shows not mentioned by Stanton, and apparently to be retained, are "What's My Line," "I've Got A Secret," "To Tell The Truth," and "GE College Bowl." A contestant can win only $50 on "What's My Line." "To Tell The pays those who stump the panel a maximum of $1,000 to be divided among three persons. "I've Got A Secret" is a panel show in which a prize of only $80 is involved. SWar Urn TmiOTrtvrM i 0t. I7.l OCClUOf 'AA 40 'N Tj.

i School Tiff Didn't Need Taft-Hartley HOLLYWOOD It didn't take much negotiating to settle a dispute between "labor" pupils and man agement the principal at McNlcoI Junior High School. The ninth grade class, 325 strong, boycotted the school cafeteria Thursday. They were protesting a rule that they must sit at designated seats, rather than anywhere they wanted. Principal Earl Stabler did not have to resort to any outside governmental agency to help "mediate" the Stabler, who reported he was amazed and somewhat shocked at the dispatch with which the ninth graders organized, laid down the law. He told the pupils they could sit wherever they wanted once they had sharpened up on their table manners.

He said before ninth-graders used to sit anywhere but they lost that "privilege" when they began littering the cafeteria. INVOKED SEATING School officials, unable to pinpoint the offenders, then invoked the special seating. Both Thursday and Friday ninth graders brought their own lunches to school. But during the assembly called Friday the pupils apologized and admitted their position was rather untenable. The principal said the ringleaders in the abortive boycott truly a "secondary" boycott, were members of a group which charitably could be called not overly studious.

Old Vet To See 117th Birthday HOUSTON. Tex. Uft Confederate veteran Walter Williams apparently will reach his 117th birthday, his doctor says. Williams, last surviving veteran of the Civil War, fell ill with pnaumonia last summer and was on the critical list for weeks. Doctors at that time said death was only a few days away.

Democrats in the state already are split over his appearance. The Truman visit has renewed a bitter feud between conservative and liberal-loyalist factions of the party. The conservatives bolted in 1952 and 1956 to vote for President Eisenhower.

The liberal-loyalists of Dallas County stuck, with Democratic nominee Ad-lai Stevenson. But Truman refused to comment on that split or its renewal on his arrival here yesterday. He said he didn't even know Ed Drake, chairman of the Dal las County Democratic Committee, who claims he will lead the. boycott. At a press conference, Truman said didn't come here to talk about foreign policy.

I came to talk about politics." CHANGES MIND But only hours later, after flying to Lubbock, he talked about foreign policy at length to a meeting of the Lubbock United Nations Association. He called the world organization the "best hope of mankind for deliverance from mutual destruction." He urged a permanent United Nations police force. He said the United Nations is the one place where disarmament should be dealt with. He took an indirect slap at President Eisenhower for conducting disarmament talks out side the United Nations. The former President said it was too early to tell if Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev's dis armament proposal to the UN was made in good faith.

He said he hoped it was no "grandstand play," however.

(JPI "We got home, woke the babies up and looked at them." A joyful Mrs. Charles Anderson said that was how she celebrated her acquittal on charges of armed robbery.

The attractive blonde, a 30-year-old mother of three, was acquitted last night after a federal court jury deliberated one hour and 50 minutes. Mrs. Anderson, wife of an insurance executive, was charged with the daring noon- hour holdups of two suburban savings and loan offices last year. The first office was robbed of $1,663, the second of 311 three months later. Mrs.

Anderson was arrested at her suburban home May 29, 1958 one week after the second holdup. Conviction on both counts would have brought sentences of 50 years in prison and fines up to $20,000. NEED FOR MONEY The government contended she needed the money to make up a shortage at an in surance company in Atlanta where she formerly worked. She said she made up the shortage five days after the first robbery with $1,689 her father had saved for her. Four employes of the loan association offices identified her as the woman who robbed them.

The verdict tore away the composure she maintained through the five-day trial. Tears streaming down her face, she stood up, turned to her husband and said: "Let's call Damon so- we can go home." Damon, 9. Is the oldest of her three children. "Thank you, thank you," she told the jurors as they filed past her out of the courtroom. 'COLD DEFENDANT Then to no one In particular she said: "This coldest defendant in the world Is a human being too." This apparently was a ref erence to U.

"We haven't fully decided what school she will attend, but my family agrees that no matter where she goes, we'll be much closer in Ft. Lauderdale than we would be in Santiago," he laughed. Wolfer, who was city manager at Tucson, before coming to Ft. Lauderdale in 1954, served as the city's administrative head for 16 months before 'resigning late in 1955 to accept his present post with the State Department. During his two-day stay here Wolfer talked with city department heads with whom he formerly worked and made a hurried but careful study of current administration pro cedures.

He indicated that he would make some radical changes in the present arrangement, but declined to elaborate as to what they would involve and how soon they would take place. "Let's just say there'll be some changes made," he concluded. Man Accused Of Ex-Wife's Slaying Freed CHICAGO IS) A jury of 10 women and 2 men took just 80 minutes of deliberation to acquit Duncan Hansen, 29, of a charge of murdering his former wife, Susan. Screams of happiness from the defendant's relatives friends filled Criminal Court last night as the jury foreman read the verdict to Judge Robert E. English.

"I plan to return to a. nor mal life, Hansen told newsmen who streamed toward him. "I want to see my chil dren very badly." Hansen has three children, and one of them, Nancy, 9, testified in his defense in a tense, dramatic appearance before a packed courtroom. The decision came on the 21st day of the trial, one of the most spectacular in recent Chicago courtroom history. Hansen, a tall, bespectacled part-time school teacher, was accused of slaying Susan Hansen, 25, May 24 in her South Side home a month after she had divorced him on grounds of cruelty.

'I'm afraid that my services won't be required, the doctor said. Wike estimated the cave-in occurred in the early-morning hours. "About 2:30, he said, "some of the boys in camp heard a rumble. But they didn't figure It was a cave-in and they went back to sleep.

Then when the day shift started to go to work they found the cave-in." The tlu-ee men were working a night shift, loading ore into cars. They weren't using explo sives. Wike said the cave-in was unexplained. "We never had anything like this before, he said. "A state mining Inspector was out here within the last 10 days to look the place over, and it was okay." It was estimated the cave-in covered about 150 feet of the tunnel.

"Boulders bigger than a car fell into that shaft," said one newsman who was at the scene. The three men below had no food or water, but Wike contradicted an earlier report that they probably had no air. "There should be air in there," he said. "Unless they're crushed they may have gotten to open areas and they could be getting air." Wike said an attempt would be made to pipe air into the tunnel. "We've got plenty of man power ana equipment, he said.

"The trouble is we can work only three men at a time In each tunnel because there's not much room."
