TEN (LA.) NEWS-STAR APRIL 1,1953 Germans Impressed By Tyro Diplomat BONN, Germany Janies Bryant Contnt, atomic scientist and famed educator turned diplomat, is making a hit with the Germans and winning unusual attention from the Russians as the new S. high commissioner in Germany. Tun months after taking over toughest overseas diplomatic assignment, the quiet, scholarly Conant is emerging as the second most imporiant man in Germany. Germans and Americans here alike are saying that Doktor is just what is needed for this strategic post at a decisive juncture of European history, Pro-Western Germans are frankly looking lo Dr. Conant and to Chancellor Konrad No.

1 man in West lead West into close association with its neighbors as a first step tow ard European unification. The Germans were awed when they first learned that the renowned Dr. Conant of Harvard and atomic energy fame would represent the new Eisenhower administration heie. The reaction among most Western diplomats here was: It's a long road from Boston to Bonn and what does he know about diplomacy and European rivalries and the enigma of the German character? These first doubts have quickly turned into low bows of respect for the slender 60-year-old six-footer who wears horn-rimmed glasses. Dr.

Conant has amazed and charmed the Germans with his drive and easy-going informality. He has been accorded respect and attention from Russian representatives in Germanv instead of the usual reserve. Within one week after taking up his new post, Dr. Conant had: conferred with all the top American officials in Bonn and visited his British and French colleagues of the Allied High Commission and Gen. Vassily Chuikov, the Kremlin's emissary in Germany.

1 In his first two months here Dr. Conant has roamed the country from Berlin to Munich and from Hamburg to Stuttgart, met hundreds of Germans. In his brisk quest for information, he has become known to the Germans as question To every German he meets, the hardy New Englander pumps out a stream of questions about the problems and future of Europe and Germany. Dr. Conant made a hit with thp Germans right from the start by talking to them in their own guage.

He speaks good German. In an interview, Dr. Conant told how he feels about his assignment: is a very exciting and challenging situation. The possibility of getting some kind of European unity is so Impressive. I am pleasantly surprised that literally every German I have talked to is for European unity.

Of course, the complications are at least as great as I had Dr. Conant pulls no punches In talking to, or about, the Russians. In a speech beamed to Communist- eontrolled East Germany over the American radio station in Berlin, he bluntly served notice that the Allies will stand for no tinkering with their rights in tfiis surrounded city. Next week Conant is flying back to the United States to be on hand for conferences with American officials. Joy Theatre Sold To M'Elroy Chain Thomas E.
