West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer ac cused the Russians Friday night of trying to delule 18 million East Germans with a meaningless grant of sovereignty.

In Berlin, the U. S. High Commission issued a report picturing the ruling Communist party in East Germany as still torn apart by rank and file opposition to its leaders as a result of last June's rebellion. These developments came on the heels of Thursday night's announcement by the Russians that they had boosted East, Germany to the status of a full sovereign state. Western diplomats and the State Department in Washington labeled the.

proclamatipn a fraud which in no way relaxes Russia's grip on tier Rhine-land satellite. Adenauer speaking to reporters at Rome's Ciampino Airport en route home from a swing through Greece' and Turkey called the Russian proclamation an did trick "of the sly Soviet politicians to bring more delusion to the East Germans." He declared the Russians had tried the same strategy several times before, adding "everybody knows what 'sovereignty' means to a satellite country." In 'its report on the East German Communists, the High Commission said the party's strength has been sapped badly by internal dissension on the eve of the fourth party congress opening in East Berlin Tuesday. The report said the Communists' boss, Walter Ulbricht, claimed 1 14 million members in his Socialist Unity party. But, it added, Ulbricht could only rely on a "faithful core" of 000 to 200,000. ide should, be added to Tyler's water supply as a means of combating tooth decay.

Society officials said the statement covered the group's action Tuesday night wherein the Society "endorsed" the use of sodium fluoride and also covered Dr Nichols' statement that the Society had tried to avoid the issue. The statement reads: "The Smith County Medical Society feels a public responsibility in answering the question of fluorine in public water supplies only as to whether or not its use is injurious to the public health. "Since the American Medical Association, after careful consideration and recommendation of the Council on Pharmacy, Foods and Nutrition, endorsed the use of one part (of sodium fluoride) per million parts (of water) in public water supplies for the prevention of dental caries, the local society issued its statement which has been publicly announced. "Dental evaluation should be done by the dental society. We feel our responsibility to public has been fulfilled by this action." At a special meeting Tuesday night, the society "endorsed" the use of sodium fluoride at a ratio of one part per million.

It also advised Dr. Nichols of this action by telegram. Dr. Nichols had previously advised the society of his speaking engagement in Tyler and was told there would be no oojec-tlonSi However this was before his subject was known. Members said they thought he would speak on food, his usual subject.

(Morning Telegraph Staff Photo) Butter Processors Dumo Hinson Submits Guinea Pig' Gas Tax Bill AUSTIN, (JP) The house revenue and taxation committee approved Friday another natural gas tax bill by an 8-7 vote. It was understood that this bill was intended as a vehicle for a court test on taxing the transmission lines carrying gas outside the state instead of a revenue-raising measure at this time. Both house and senate quit Thursday for the. weekend and will reconvene Monday for the third week of the special session.

The. proposed teacher pay raise main reason for calling the session will come before the house appropriations committee Wednes- day. Gov. Shivers has recommended a natural gas tax and increased beer and franchise taxes to pay for the teacher pay raise. The bill he wanted, including a tax on the production of natural gas, was ap- proved by the house revenue committee Thursday.

The bill getting narrow approval Friday was by Rep. George Hinson, Mlneola, and carried a tax of l-30th of 1 cent on each 1,000 'cubic feet of gas delivered from the ground under long-term contracts. It is known as a dedication tax. Both tax bills now go to the house for action. Hinson said his tax would raise only 114 million dollars a year in new revenue; but it was only a nominal tax for testing in the courts.

The Supreme Court last month declared unconstitutional a tax that Texas had levied on natural gas, aimed at the pipelines carry- See HINSON, Page West Reports 100,000 JL Government In a move to prevent a tempo rary shortage from developing in retail and other markets during the changeover period, the department is allowing processors and distributors to sell butter to it through March 31 at the current support price, retain possession of it, and contract to buy it back April 1 at 60.5 cents a pound in the Midwest and 61.25 cents elsewhere. Repurchases will not be permitted before April 1. however. The same arrangement has been made for cheese, with the government paying 37-cents a pound up to next Thursday and selling it back for 35 cents. Officials said this procedure is necessary because, otherwise, processors would sell all their butter and cheese to the government before April 1, in order to take advantage of present prices, and after April 1 there would be a severe shortage in retail markets.
