PACT APPROVED His answer to American Secre- tary of State Dulles' call for "clear | visible evidence" that the six- nation European defence army pact would be ratified by April 1 was a resounding 224-165 victory for the EDC in the German Lower House last March 19. His triumphs have been achieved at an age when most men have|-- Russians Curious As U.S. long since retired from the politial and diplomatic arenas. But, at 77, be left his homeland April 2 to come to the United States and Canada for personal conferences with President Eisenhower, Secre- tary of State Dulles, Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent and Canadian mab- inet ministers, His visit to North America will be the first ever made by a Ger- man chief of government. He will visit the United States April 6-17. At the invitation of the Canadian Government the German Chancel- Jor, will pay a visit to Ottawa April Dr. Adenauer was born in Co- logne, Germany, on January 35, 1876, the son of a middle class family. He studied law and eco- nomics at the Universities of Mu- nich, Freiburg and Bonn before re- turning to Cologne to practice law | and become a public prosecutor. | COLOGNE MAYOR He entered municipal service in Cologne in 1906. By 1912 "he had advanced to the post of deputy mayor and in 1917 Cologne made | him' its lord mayor. He held this post until 1933. Under his administration the present University of Cologne was founded, the famous Cologne fairs were organized and Germany's first sports stadium was erected. His abilities as an administrator and public official were quickly and widely 'recognized. Prior to 1918, while still a municipal officer of Cologne, he was appointed to the Senate of the State of Prussia by Royal decree and during the years of the Weimar Republic (1919-1933) he attained the position of chairman of the Prussian State | Council. Through his leadership in the council he exercised a power- ful influence in the Rhineland. In 1933, after Hitler's ascent to power, the Nazis compelled Dr. Adenauer to retire from politics because of his Jnembership i in the Catholic Centre Party's National Executive Committee, which was opposing the Nazi government. Dur ing the next 12 years of Hitler's government, he became, in his own words, "a very good gardener," Maile living in retirement near Col- POSTWAR OFFICES In May, 1945, United States Mili- tary Government authorities in Col- ogne appointed Dr. Adenauer a spe- cial advisor and a month later re- stored him as lord mayor, a pos tion he held until Octoer, Subsequently he became the first chairman of the Christian Demo- cratic Party, a member of the leg- islature for North Rhipe-Westpha- lia and a member and president | of the 'Parliamentary Councit: (Constituent Assembly) in nn which drafted and approved Pom constitution of the German Feder- | al Republic. Dr. Adenauer was elected Chan- cellor of the Federal Republic of | Germany on September 15, 1949, by the Bundestag (Lowes House). This is the chief executive office of the federal republic and Dr. Adenauer keynoted his philosophy of it in these words of his accept- ance speech: "The federal chancellor must be both a good German and a good European. I want to be both. I want to see a United Europe. Only then can my country be free. To do that we need the help of } the best Europeans of all...the Am- ericans." In March, 1951, Dr. Adenauer assumed in addition to his duties as chancellor the portfolio of for- eign minister. His foreign policy is well summarized in the state- ment of March, 1952: ' "In truth the situation is this: Gemany must be united with Europe or otherwise go under. This is not a matter of party politics, but rather one of national concern." More recently, in an interview about the effect on the western world of the death of Soviet Prem- ier Josef Stalin, he warned: "We must wait and see what time brings -- but we must not wait with our hands folded in our laps, No matter what happens on the other side of the Iron Curtain, on our side we must get on with things. The free world dare not just sit idle and Jook with fascin- ation at Moscow.' sions that occur on parts having the protective coating must be per- formed within a reasonable short time. It is recommended that repairs {be made only by those who are familiar with proper repair proce- dure and who use approved re- finishing materials. Dealers have complete instructions regarding this procedure.

Express. By REBECCA F. GROSS BERLIN (AP) -- The spectacle of 10 Westerners strolling through Brest-Litovsk this week drew cur- fous crowds of young and old. That was the last day in Russia for a {party of U. S. newspaper and radio | people who flew from Lohdon via | Helsinki March 31, a few days after getting word that they could have visas for a visit to Moscow. We had planned to return by air, by way of Stockholm. Then we learned we could get permission to cross western Russia, Poland and Eastern Germany by rail, with a stop of several hours at the Rus- sian-Polish border. The change was worth the extra time, if only for the sake of rubbing shoulders with the curious crowds at Brest-Litovsk a community of about 20,000. We crowded into three taxicabs and went to see the city hall, a couple of theatres, and a lovely little Russian Orthodox Church topped by blue bulb spires. The entourage of cabs attracted some attention, especially as the camera- | bearing passengers popped out at] | every stop to photograph the scene. |We had been told by the tourist manager that picture-taking was | permitted. We had taken pictures | without explicit limitations every- where we went except inside the Kremlin walls and at .the Stalin automobile works in Moscow. After we dismissed the cabs we | walked through the business dis- trict, visiting what appeared to be the largest store in the city. A series of connected shops, each with its own door opening to the street, this store was crowded with people within two minutes alter some of our party walked into the shops. When we went in, the place was almost empty. The purchase of a few dolls had not been com- pleted, however, before it was so jammed with people that one could scarcely struggle to the counter to Streets add another border for a five-inch doll. The doll, which had a rag body and a plastic face, cost seven rubles ($1.75 at the arbitrary ex- change rate used by Moscow). When we departed, the store emptied at once. When we moved into another street, stopping en route to take pictures of well- bundled children who eyed us with round-faced curiosity, the crowds followed and overflowed into the street. We identified ourselves to the {of the magneto and the timer, {the garageman looked down his {crowd as Americans, and several spoke to us in Russian, German, {and English--the last from a wo- {man who said she was a school | teacher. An old lady who spoke German was much interested in the fact that we were Americans, Her re- action, as translated by James L. Wick, of Niles, Ohio, leader of our group, was to assure him that things would be better in the U. 8S. 'after the revolution." There were a good many sol- diers walking around the town. They, too, took a lively interest in our activities but none inter- fered with us in any way. The attention we attracted at Brest-Litovsk on our way out of Russia was more noticeable and unanimous than in Moscow. We arrived at Moscow at night lin a Russian plane in which we flew from Helsinki. |" Waiting for us at the huge air- port was a delegation of high-rank- | ing Russian officials. { | Customs formalities were neglig- !ible. The bags of about half of us were opened but the . inspectors barely glanced into them. Coming out we had only one dif- ficult episode as the train carried us over the borders of Russia into Poland and from Poland into East Germany. Inspectors opened a few bags at Brest-Litovsk, but not many. Polish inspection was made when the train was a.few miles out of Brest-Litovsk. It resulted in the removal of film from several cam- eras. Leaving Poland and entering and leaving the Soviet zone of Ger- many was not difficult, not even to the opening of a bag. | WASHINGTON --- Washington swallowed . the entire Maryland | city of Georgetown when it was made the capital of the nation, but to this day has never been able to digest it. Congress, writes William A. Kin- ney in the April issue of the Na- tional Geographic Magazine, went to extreme lengths in trying to make the entire District of Col- umbia one big unified community. A unique enactment in 1895 not only legislated Georgetown out of existence, but wiped out all its old street names. The law lasted until September |22, 1950, when modern citizens of |the old deep-water river port had | the satisfaction of seeing it repeal- | led and Georgetown re-established under its own name, even though | it still remained officially a part | of the District of Columbia. The original street names -- Bridge Street, Fishing Lane, Pomander Walk and the like -- are going back again on the lamp posts un- der the modern Washington letter and number designations. RIVER SILTED UP The Potomac, writes Mr. Kinney, a staff member of the National Geographic Society and a George- tonian himself, is no longer as deep as it used to be because of silting Washington's Georgetown 'Wins Fight For Survival and lowering of the water table in! | the Washington area. Where square rigged Indiamen with cargoes of silk and jewels from the Orient used to anchor in a deep bay, there is now only dry land travers- ed by a shallow creek. The creek is Rock Creek, known to millions as the pleasant little stream meandering through beauti- ful Rock Creek Park, picnic ground par excellence next door to the Washington Zoo.

(CP)--Caribou Smith, who claims | to be perhaps the only living origi- | nal member of the famous Buffalo | Bill wild west show of frontier | days, recently celebrated his 93rd | birthday at his home here. The secret of long life, he says, is in the words of a toast--'a long life 'and a happy one." Caribou says that if you live a happy life you may be sure of a long one. Born in Yakima, Wash., in 1860, he ran away from home at the tender age of 12, He crossed the Sombie river in swimming- his pony behind, or 4 spent his first ir yay from home in a friendly Indian cam Fioin there he started a long ri e east.

I have seen this situation de- velop. There used to be an equality: of progress between me and tech- nological advancement. The rey radio I ever had, I made it. first automobile I had, I could crawl under it and fix it. For a good number of years there was a& pace that we both -- progress and I -- maintained neck and rg i, LESS INFORMATION But then I began to notice a. reluctance on the part oy manu- facturers to include me in thaif affairs. They began withdrawing for secret conferences into a corn- er, and looked over their shoulders at me as if I didn't belong any. more. And I didn't. There came an automobile, one year, and 1 spoke: and nose at me and said those terms had been discontinued. From then on I gradually dropped behind, un- til today there are a great many things I don't know about. The specialist thus came into be- ing. Once upon a time we farm- ers could do anything, and if we brought in extra help it was mere- ly to assist us in some task we knew perfectly well how to do. But today I am always running to the telephone to get a specialist' to come and do something that I don't know how to do, something that pertains to my own private; domestic affairs and which I ought to know about, and which I would know about if the manufacturers would let me in on things. We have a great number of cofi- traptions on the farm today that. operate in secret. I have some- thing of a handy potential, myself, and like to know how things work, There is nothing about these cons trivances that I couldn't manipu=: late if I knew how, and the main' reason I don't know how is be- cause of the printed instructions: the manufacturers send out. CAUSE CONFUSION They seem designed on purpose: so I get confused. This makes me call a specialist, and the kingly ransom involved in securing such a service appalls me. The special. ist, it seems, is protected in his monopoly by the company that' makes his gadgets. The other day I set about the simple task of putting up a hot- water unit heater, with thermal controls. In the old days I used to get out the parlor heater and fit the stovepipe together, and made ' out first rate. The job, as far as home comfort goes, is precisely the same job as setting up a hot- water unit heater with thermal controls. Well, reading the printed instruc- tions that come with a hot-water unit heater with thermal controls is equivalent to earning a degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I didn' understand a word of it. I was thus a pawn in the hands of the modern system, and was all set to call in the specialist and pay him good money: for something I ought to be able. to do myself. SPECIALISTS BUSY But the modern system hasn't allowed for a lag in country af- airs. All the specialists are earning' big money in more urban places, I guess, and we are left with the. general run of tinkerers and puts | erers who combine the job of spew: i clalist with all the other things a service man has to do out in the country, A man who is retained to | install hot-water unit heaters with: | thermal controls is no good to us around here unless he can put a' steering quadrant in a tractor or' weld the crank on a milk separator betimes. I set up my hot-water unit heater" ih thermal controls all by my-. se! The wiring of the switch for the two-speed motor was 'complicated by the instructiohs, but I got it: after four fuses blew out, and then: I had to wire the feed through an aquastat. Frankly, I don't know- at I'm talking about any more: bier you do, but this latter is a doohickey or jigger, which cuts off the Jan unless there is heat. That's ou won't get a blast of cold [5 That will fell you in your tracks. {But for some reason, my reward was a heating system that blew cold air all the time, and shut it-* self off as soon as there was heat. I decided that the aquastat was. back-end to, and needed reversing: It turns out, of course, that this was precisely so, and nobody but a specialist would know it, and that's the point at which I was supposed to give up. MEANING CHANGED Althoug today the word 'plaid': is generally understood to mean a certain type of pattern in cloth: it was used originally to identify a cape or shawl worn by either men or women in the Scottish Highlands, sExs the National Geographic So- ciety.
