Hitter Declares Germany's Hope
(Lies in Armed and United Europe
The only hope for Western Ger
;nny is a united Europe a unit
ed, armed Kurope which includes
I'estern Germany, emphasized
lerhard Hitter, prof esse r at the
Iniversity of Freiburg, at a Slu
licnt Union coffee hour Tuesday.
He asserted that no negotiations
mid be carried on by the West
ern German government with Rus
lor German unity. West Ger
Hiy is too small and weak to be
to bargain with Russia, Ritter
plained. Only as part of a Euro
lan union could Western Gor
an make any impression on
iissia.
Hitter is the author of numerous
books on the Reformation, Renais
sance and Germany, and his writ
den biographical works on Luther,
LFrtderick the Great, the Iron
l-hanccllor Bismarck and others.
, present project, a history of
| lie resistance against Nazism,
lises out of his own resistance
work during Hitler’s regime. From
January 1044 to the liberation in
1945, the Doctor was imprisoned
by the Nazis as a political cr im
inal.
Neo-nazism, as Dr. Ritter sees
it, has its main attraction to ex
soldiers who feel that the "soldier’s
honor,’’ besmirched by the Allied
victory, must be repaired. But he
saw hope that a new German
army, integrated with the Euro
pean Defense community, would
cause this sentiment to fade away,
and thus the threat of a rebirth
of Nazism would be cut short.
A short, gray-haired man, Ritter
speaks English with a soft, but
marked German accent, occasion
ally lapsing into his native tongue
for a difficult word or phrase. His
talks on campus and in Eugene
have covered such subjects as the
roots of National Socialism, Lu
ther and Germany today, the po

iir ROTC Drill Event
Drill competition for schools in
“the Oregon state area with an Air
.Force KOTO program was initiat
ed at McArthur Court Tuesday
^ptcrnoon. The competitive pro
rum is planned as an annual
vent, Maj. N. N. Mihailov, assist
ant professor of air science, said.
The University of Portland drill
placed first in the meet, with
illamette university ranking sec
d and the University of Oregon
jim ranking third. Oregon State
liege, the fourth school eligible
r the event, did not enter the
arnament.
I'he three teams were judged
the basis of inspection of units,
damental drill, and fancy drill,
ore than 000 spectators, mostly
regon cadets, watched the drills.

Vhile the television field is ex

d. It will be the "young blood”

Offering advice to any aspiring
j vTVision directors in the audience,
liiman said the best way is to
£in at the bottom as a stage
And and gradually work up on
h production side.
"The impact of television adver
tisement will be tremendous, be
cause of a combination of eye-and
ear appeal,” Whitman said.
■Color television should be in use
within ten years—just about the
time television will need a new lift,
\Vhitman predicted.

litical altitude of German youth,
etc.
Touching on the last topic, the
speaker stated that he felt the
youth in Eastern Germany knew -
what the Communists were teach
ing them was "all lies.” He said :
the children viewed such tasks as I
writing papers on "Stalin, the Lib- j
erator of Europe” as pure non
sense. However, he admitted,
eventually the Communists might '
get a thoroughly indoctrinated
youth who would not question
their teachings.
In case of a third war, Ritter '
averred that there was no ques- j
tion but that the Germans would
fight with the Western powers.
Even in Eastern Germany, he
continued, only about 10 per cent
oi the people are Communists, and
many of these he pictures as "am
bitious people” who wanted to get
ahead politically.
Switching to the subject of Hit
ler’s rise to power and the special
role of the German military in al
lowing his rise, Ritter claimed that
the General Staff should be cen
sured mainly for not having “po
litical insight.”
The generals were won over by
Hitler's early attitude of respect
for them and his enlargement of
the army. Unfortunately, Ritter i
concluded, most of the generals did
not foresee that Hitler was mov
ing toward all-out war.
