RETI KX TO MOSCOW Ambassador Haas is in Bonn receiving instructions. He is due to return to Moscow within two weeks about the time Soviet leaders Nikolai Bulganin and Nik-ita Khrushchev will get back from a visit to Britain. Aiming his words at the Big Four and Canada, whose representatives are now discussing disarmament at a U. N. subcommittee session in London, Brentano told a crowded news conference: "We do not say we forbid you to make a disarmament agreement that ignores the Gorman Question.

We warn you not to do so." He argued that, unless Germany is reunited, a major cause of world tension will remain. RECENT DELAY The West Germans have recently made it clear they resent having been so long mere spectators on the sidelines of a series of international parleys that have brought their dream of national unity no nearer. Evidently Adenauer's government is 'now adopting a "do it yourself" policy. It is launching a diplomatic offensive to keep the German problem in the No. 1 spot on the East-West agenda.

Besides the approach to Moscow, Adenauer is going to the I'nited States in June to urge President Eisenhower to put a now spark in the drive for German unity. The Chancellor is also meeting with French Premier Guv Mollet early in after the French Socialist leader's return from a visit to Moscow. Brentano is to confer with British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau.

300 4th ALTOONA February Business In City Better Than Last Year's Business conditions in Altoona in February were mostly better than they were a year ago in that month, the bureau of business research at the Pennsylvania State university reports. New highs were reached in bank debits, telephones, building operations and motor vehicle sales while industrial power sales were the best since 1952. Although postal receipts were level with a year ago, street railway traffic showed a loss, the report states. General business in the leading areas of the state reached a new high with a 14 per cent increase over a year ago and a 5 per cent gain over January, the bureau notes. The index of general business stood at 169 in February as compared to 161 in January and 148 a year ago.

The index is based primarily on bank debits, factory payrolls, and industrial power sales and uses the year 1947-49 as 100. The big majority of business series in the state improved from January to February, the bureau noted, except for factory employment, which was unchanged, and building contracts, building operations, and department store sales, all of which declined. Unemployment was down 25 per cent from that of a year ago. All 10 leading manufacturing areas had better payrolls than a year ago. All had better hours and alf but Philadelphia reported better employment than a year ago.

I've got two boxes." Congressman Sikes (D-Fla.) who is heading Stevenson's campaign in Florida, stuck a Stevenson button on Kefauver and Kefauver tagged Stevenson with his button. Stevenson: "I'm glad to see you've been converted to the cause." Kefauver: "I congratulate you on joining the cause." Stevenson: "May the best man win Adlai Stevenson." Kefauver stuck around to shake hands with the school children and Stevenson continued his tour of Tampa's Latin Quarter.
