New York Chicago Detroit Atlanta San Francisco Los Angeles Adenauer Realistic on A-Bomb Germany leaders have been realistic about weapons of war for generations.

Time was when the German general staff was regarded as the best. The fact the Germans lost the last two major wars has shot the general staff all to pieces, but their leaders of today still can appraise weapons. So, when Chancellor Konrad Adenauer urges a system to control the A-bomb as the first objective toward peace, he is entitled to consideration. The Chancellor feels that until some progress is made on control of atomic weapons, there is little use of trying to establish a clear atmosphere of peace in the world. All of which is part of the program to sell a rearmed Germany to the Allies.

As the next war, if any, probably will Information Bureau He resigned from the army after two years and took up the practice of law. Q. Is it easier to swim in deep water than in shallow? B.H. A. No, there is no scientific basis fos this popular belief.

The buoyancy of water is not increased with depth, and it is just as easy to swim in a depth of 10 feet as in 100 feet be fought on German ground, then the Germans surely should be rearmed. Nobody will deny they are good soldiers. Adenauer is concerned over the apparent determination of the Russians to stall along with peace talks, while they expand their military program. There is a suspicion that the Russian leaders are not expanding in a military way just for the purpose of conquest in the immediate future. They may figure a strong military setup is the best insurance to keep Malenkov and company in power.

Adenauer said, without elaborating, that he welcomes the attitude of the Eisenhower administration toward the problem of curbing nuclear weapons. "Without an effective system of controls, he added, the arms race between Communism and the "West will continue at a rapid pace and "then the armament race will ever increase the tension." He said he anticipated that "during March or the beginning of April, at the latest," the treaties to give West Germany a limited right to rearm would be ratified by the seven signatory nations. In reply to other questions; Adenauer said he is convinced that all Communist governments "have only a limited life termed it impossible for West Germany to maintain a By Peter Edson Washington (NEA) Nearly 100 trade association representa tives met quietly in Washington at the end of the year to dis cuss plans for renewing the long fight to end government competition with private business. There was no publicity on the meeting, before or after. Some of the business representatives present declared the luncheon meet ing, held in a Washington hotel, was completely off the record arid that there was no news in it.

No formal organization was perfect ed, no committees were appointed, no plans were made for future meetings, no resolutions were passed, no list of those present was kept. One reason given for this last fact was that many of the trade associations represented' are not registered as lobbyists on Capi tol Hill. Fearful of the lobby registration law, they did not wish to become involved in any activity that might later be interpreted as attempting to influence legislation. The mere fact that this number of trade association representatives could be assembled, however, indicates the extent of business interest in the subject. Among the industries represented were dairy products processors, food processors, warehouse operators, shipbuilders, electrical contractors, wooden box manufacturers, and so on.

Leaders in calling the meeting were Paul Courtney of the Associated Businessmen of America, Louis Fisher of the Paint, Varnish and Lacquer association, and Robert North of the International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers. Mr. North served as chairman. In all, the U. S.

government is now said to be in competition with some 135 private industries. Any formal organization of representatives of these business lines or their trade associations could, of course, exert considerable pressure on congress and the executive branches of govern ment. It is insisted, however, that no such pressure group will be formed as a result of the recent Washington meeting. The main purpose was said to be informing the Washington representatives of the various industries on current developments in the effort to get the government out of competition with private business. Reports will then be made to trade associations which will separately determine their own pol icies for future action.

In one sense, the Washington meeting of trade association representatives was held in some thing of a vacuum. Suspended some place in this vacuum is a new Bureau of the Budget bulletin to all government agencies, outlining a new pobcy on handling their activities which compete with private business. This new directive has been in preparation for months. It was supposed to have been issued shortly after election. Red tape delays and difficulties in getting the new policy approved by the department of justice and the cabinet have held, it up.

But it is now scheduled for issuance some time this month. Department of defense also has a new directive on this subject in praparation for early issuance. Most of the government's activi ties competing with private busi ness are now in the army, navy and air force installations. They include clothing manu facture and repair, ordnance and munitions manufacture, paint, rope and other military supply production, aircraft and automotive service and repair, post exchange and commissary stores competing with local retail merchants. In the last congress, a house government operations subcom mittee under Rep.

Cecil Harden (R-Ind.) ran extensive hearings and issued a number of reports highly critical of all government business-type activities. Just who will be on the govern ment operations committee in the new congress, and whether this field of investigation will be continued are not now known. Washington lobbyists naturally want to be prepared for any developments along this line. Four bills were introduced in the last congress to limit govern ment competition with private in dustry. One bill passed the house, but died in the senate.

Trade association representatives now feel that if they had exerted a little more pressure at the time, this legislation would have passed the last congress and been signed by the president So They Say Of this we can be sure and there is no more fitting place to say it than California hot heads will not thaw out the cold war.

Here is Winston Churchill, the sword of freedom when freedom's swords were few. Drew It is right for a woman to put her family first.

But that doesn't mean she should excuse herself from the obligation of doing things for others Certainly any woman is happier who spreads her love out to cover friends and neighbors and those in trouble than is the woman whose love never reaches outside her own small family circle And her family is better off, too. For the woman who is al ways ready to "do" for others brings a warmth and pride and happiness to her own family that These Days By Georjre F. Sokolsky Corliss Lamont, whose troubles upon this earth seem manifold despite his good fortune of having chosen a successful and wealthy father to sire, him, continues to battle a mystical and mysterious god whose ways are beyond his faith and imagination. In pursuit of such a struggle with the everlasting, Corliss has come up with "A Humanist Funeral Service," which seems a queer way of starting a new religious worship. One would imag ine that all things start with birth; for Corliss Lamont, ap parently, they start with death.

In the foreword to this funeral service, he says: "There has long been a widely felt need for a funeral service centering around a non-supernat ural, humanist philosophy of existence. The humanist view, stemming from some of the greatest thinkers in history, rejects the idea of personal immortality and interprets death as the final end of the individual conscious personality. The philosophy or religion of humanist sets up the happiness and progress of mankind on this earth as the supreme goal of human endeavor." It is actually a beautiful frame for a departure from this earth but it excludes everything that even remotely related to the religions that are traditional among us, except for a few excerpts from the Epistles of Paul. Surely no one can object to starting a man to the afterplace of his non-being (Lamont does not tolerate a hereafter, a heaven or a hell, for that would be unscientific) with the first third of the second movement of Beethoven's Seventh symphony. Nevertheless, it does seem to me that the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord Is My Shepherd," comes closer to the heart of a mourner than a few lines from Ben Jonson's "A Pindaric Ode" or William Cul-len Bryant's "Thanatopsis," as beautiful as both are.

It is not only a matter of taste but of depth of emotion; it is not only a matter of cold thought but of warming feeling. What seems to be so stirring in this funeral service is not its contents but that it should be done at all. The atheist or agnostic who takes literally the "scientific" dictum of dust thou are, to dust returneth, that man is nothing more than a collection of molecules in a special form, a mammal who stands upright and talks his head off, is driven by the emptiness of his soul to turn to religious worship and rejecting the tried expressions of religious fervor among his own kind, turns everywhere for similar religious expression wherever he can find- it How simple it is, in a crema tion commitment, to give the soul of man to God for his mercy! However, Corliss Lamont, whose mind is tortured between the frigid materialism of Karl Marx and the sentimental humanism of George Santayana, rejects the Psalms but accepts and puts into his service this little slice of Sir Rabindranath Tagore: fire, my brother, I sing victory to you. You are the bright red image of fearful freedom. You swing your arms in the sky, you sweep your impetuous fingers Across the harp-string, your dance music is.

beautiful My body will be one with you, my heart will be caught in the Whirls of your frenzy, and the burning heat that was my life will flash up and mingle itself in your flame." Compare that exuberaticn at death with the comforting 68th Psalm: when ye lie among the sheepfolds, The wings of the dove are covered with silver, And her pinions with the shimmer of gold And when one is finished with Lamont's services for the dead, what actually has happened to Corliss Lamont is that try as he will to run from God, what he has only succeeded in doing is to return to God. Were it not so, why does he bother to bury his friends with music and poetry and prayer (which he calls meditation)? Why does he not cast the remains of his humanists on. the dustpile and have his molecules carted away to the set to sink in the ooze of centuries as forgotten at the flies of a summer day? Somehow the humanist sees the heaven and tries to reach it by song, as do we all in our moments of sadness and despair, when we, gazing into the blaze of a setting sun, exult in the glories of God. women who are so conscious of the needs of others that each per. son who knows them remembers them for some small kindness.

And these are the truly happy women for in doing for others they forget their own hurts and frustrations. In their concern for others there is no time for them to be overly concerned about them selves. In giving something of them selves to all whose lives touch theirs they enrich their own lives as much as they enrich the lives of others. That is why it is a great mis take for a woman to tell herself that she is so busy with her own family she hasn't time to do as much as she should do for other people. When a woman does that she is narrowing her own life and ac tually making a smaller contribution to her own family.

For in most homes it is the wife and mother who is responsible either for the family's reaching out to others or becoming a selfish little unit Put your family first, but make room in your life for others, too.

They can't have both quality and quantity. As one movie producer sees it: "What our industry really needs is fewer and better exhibitors." John Payne tells it about his six-year-old Tommy.

Jordan, M. D. Written for NEA Service Almost all of us who have colds ourselves can sympathize with the writer of today's first letter. Two of the people in our of fice have chronic colds. Of course, they cannot help this but they make no effort to protect others.

They go about coughing and sneezing constantly while bending over others at their Every effort has been made in a nice way to discourage them from doing this but it only incurs hurt feelings and reprisals if the person has a superior position. For myself, I usually contract these colds and thus spend the winter with lower resistance, loss of time and efficiency. Have you any suggestions? Reader. A It seems particularly thoughtless of anyone; particularly one in a supervisory position in offices or factories, to be careless about coughing and sneezing when they have a cold. It would help themselves as well as their colleagues if they stayed away from work when their colds were bad and at the very least avoided spraying others with droplets from a cough or sneeze.

I do not know what can be done about this except to try to help everyone to develop some feeling of responsibility for the spread of colds. I have heard that there is a new treatment available for the treatment of acne scars. Do you know anything of this? C. F.

In the last two world wars, Americans made gross errors by not taking over Berlin. The error was serious in World war because when the Allies stopped on the Rhine, they abandoned even that foothold, Hitler was able to expand with only his borders to worry about.

In the second war, we again failed to take Berlin, and have had a mess with the Russians every since. If world war III, ever comes, perhaps we will have learned the lesson that we need to take over the heart of enemy country.
