political patterns should be created THESE AND other leaders in the movement are not united on methods whereby unity can be achieved. But all seek unity, and the stature of their names and ords is far greater than that of the somewhat shadowy figures who began agitation for unity in Western Germany. FINALLY, unification is to come gradually with Germany united in a federal system. The latter is Mueller's prerequisite to unity. To date, he has said little about the need for free elections in Eastern Germany, which Adenauer advocates.

In Mueller's view, integration of the Western German Republic into Western Europe ardently desired risky, he declares. The risk, he admits, is that Russia may seek political concessions in return for trade agreements. The second step after expansion of trade is an opening of limited negotiations between Western and Eastern Germany for an end of propaganda seeking to set the two German States against each other. while an opportunity for achieving unity exists. IN A NUMBER of speeches.

Nie moller has admonished members of his Evangelical Church to take interest in unification. Hurt Skiing HAMMOND ORGAN The movement cannot be separated from the radical right-wing organizations and the more extreme forms of nationalism in Western Germany. Unity is a goal claimed by both rightists and Communists alike. It is especially popular among refugees and expellees from the east. OF THE non-Communist exponents of unity in the west, Mueller probably is the most powerful in the sense that he has organized a following within a strong political party.

One of the reasons why Western Germany must seek unity with the east, according to Mueller, is that unemployment caused in large measure, he says, by Germany's partition will reach 3,000,000 next winter. Other reasons, Mueller says, are that United States financial aid will decrease rapidly in the next two years and that Konrad Adenauer will be finished as chancellor by 1952 because he does not understand the "real dynamism of the reawakening Germany." MUELLER, who repeatedly asserts he is neither pro-American nor pro-Russian, seeks an immediate expansion of trade with the German Communist State and Eastern Europe as a first step toward unity. This trade is essential but Evictions Begin for Slum Razing BY JAMES RANSOM Free Prrs Staff Writer The greatest mass evictions In Detroit's history will take place FRANKFURT, Germany The drive for reunification of Germany has assumed significant proportions. It now appears almost inevitable that the issue will be this year's major problem of internal politics in Germany. For the first time since formation of the German Federal Republic, unity is winning strong support from various organizations within the Republic's boundaries.

SOME Or' these groups are Communist front organizations. But many others are not and do everything possible to divest themselves of any traces of Communist influence. It is precisely because political agitation for unity is no longer largely Communist-in-. spired that its importance to the Bonn Government and to the Western occupation powers is j1 growing. The movement includes such personalities as Pastor Niemoller; Josef Mueller, 'Bavarian Christian Socialist leader; Andreas Hermes, a former min-, ister, and Dr.

Power Free Press Wire Services DES MOINES The National Association of Manufacturers proposed a program to halt what it called "increasing' concentration of power" in the Federal Government and restore proper balance between central and local powers. The program included several suggestions for reallocating tax resources and service responsibilities to the states. Claude A. Putnam, president, and Earl Bunting, managing director, of the NAM, formally launched the program before a conference of farm leaders, farm editors and others. EARLIER, Putnam had delivered an address titled "Let's Bring Government Back Home," at a session of the National Farm Institute.

The NAM called its proposals a long-range program. The program would reduce Federal taxation by some $9,900,000,000 below the amount collected in 1949, Putnam and Bunting said. The NAM officials said the steps the organization proposed would: Return to states and localities certain service responsibilities, including grant s-in-aid, which "can and should be handled by them." 2 Reduce Federal spending by eliminating services created -a i "it i'- i 1940, will cost an estimated $30,000,000. i Two thirds of those evicted will be eligible for public housing.

Kline struck back in a gloves-off debate. He branded the Brannan plan "something-for-nothing" bait to lure farmers into a "new despotism based on Government favors and Government con- trols." Brannan's controversial plan would keep farmers' income up by giving them direct production payments which would not affect market prices of farm products.

Brannan complained sharply of the Farm Bureau's "'negative abuse" of his program. He charged that its leadership had turned its back on the past, when it fought for agriculture's "equal opportunity and parity position with the other great groups." 3 5-Pc. Plastic Top Sets 3 5-Pc.
