Bradford (Canvriahi 1950 Br United Pren AiiocUtloni) Bonn, Germany, Apr. 4 '.U.R) A dramatic appeal for the forma tion of a parliament of Europe with power to act was made to day Dy tne uerman cnancenur, Dr. Konrad Adenauer, as the only means of preventing ann hilation of Europe through an other war. The appeal was made in an ex elusive interview with this cor respondent in his home perched high on a hill overlooking the Rhine river. A little farther downstream lay the famous Petersburg hotel now housine the allied high com mission for Germany, where the late Neville Chamberlain stayed durine his ore-Munich talks with Adolf Hitler that failed to pre vent the last war. All seemea ncRceful now. but the new chan cellor who has emerged as the most important leader of post war Germany gave me a grave warning for the world of the new danger to Europe. ITrrra Pnrlinmani With Germany lying divided into two parts and as a helpless prey to possible aggression, European parliament with real powers to act should be formed Electrical Workers To Ask $125 Pensions Plllshureh.

Professor Designs Chair for Comfort Delaware.

It is now on display in the uni versity's Lyon Art Hall and has won campus-wide approval ex cept for a few critics partial to the softness of overstuffed chairs.

Husband Finally Finds Seat Beside His Wife Omaha (U.R) An Omaha couple had reserved seats to a hockey game, but the husband turned his in hrcause of a busi ness appointment.

They pointed out to under takers that their duties are heavy enough on Sunday without the added burden of conducting funerals. with the greatest possible speed Adenauer declared. He empha sized that there is not a moment to lose. The second step should be to invite Germany as a full- fledged member of this parlia ment of Europe, he said. Emphasizing the seriousness with which he regards the inter national situation, Dr. Adenauer made important and significant revelations in a series of state ments which seemed likely to re ceive the closest attention of many governments and of world Dublic oninion- The chancellor indicated his belief the Atlantic pact alone cannot save Europe, and repeat ed the warning that Henri Queu- ille, then premier of ranee, made to me a year ago, that the occupation and destruction again of Europe cannot be envisaged on the theory that thereafter the American air force would de stroy Russia. Adenauer said that former German generals doubled whether the American air force could contain Russia within her present limits. No Common Solution "The European countries as the result of centuries of dis putes have not reached a com mon solution to their difficul ties," Dr. Adenauer began. "thus for example Britain aoes realize that her future stands and falls with the future of tu ropc. Likewise the big and small alulAfl will mil rVCOtl- nize that the United States can not and will not always help them. They must realize that their salvation lies in their own union and nowhere else. "Little do people realize that Europe's preservation is in the interests of the whole world. The United States does not fully realize that it profits from the intellectual, moral and spiritual preservation of Europe, and that this is even necessary and vital for America's own intellectual progress. "I don't mind saying that America should use its power far more with the Europeans who are resisting their own unifica tion. America should literally in sist that Europe provide for her own protection and well-being-This has not been done so far. Necessary for Peace "I view the future with ex treme seriousness. America's main purpose should be to make a power out of western Europe once more. Europe as a power certainly will not be a danger to 'One Dozen Roses' Brings Divorce Action Houston. Tex. (U.R) A few bars of music put a young couple divorce court ana Drougni about a child custody suit.

Koch snld he was insistent and his wife finally admitted having been unfaithful. It seems she spent the mgnt away from home and remarked to her date that the room was bare. So, just like In the song, he called up and ordered one dozen roses." Koch continued. Mrs. Koch denied all and was awarded custody of the couple's four-year-old son.

Apr. 4 (U.R) The Red river of the north boiled to flood stage along the Minnesota North Dakota border today, as Arkansas and Oklahoma counted one dead and nine injured in tornadoes. Meanwhile, cold weather forc ed the nation s capital to stage its annual cherry blossom festi val without blossoms. A repeat was scheduled for next week In hopes there'll be some blossoms, then. Snow fell from upper Michi gan west to North Dakota, and showers or thunderstorms hit the central plains, the middle Mississippi valley and the Ohio valley as far east as Pennsyl vania. Authorities prepared to evac uate lowland residents at Moor head, Minn-, as the Red river neared an expected 22-foot level today. Emergency crews laid sandbags and manned 11 pumps at St. John's hospital in Fargo, N.D., across the river from Moorhcad. It was feared the high waters would flood the hospital basement. A new silica coating for light bulbs eliminates glare. Russia, and Russia would have no reason to feel herself threat ened. On the contrary, a strong and powerful Europe is neces sary for world peace. It will also permit the United States to with draw from Europe and at long last let her devote her energies to other tasks again, especially the great problem of aiding the far east. No lasting peace can be created by an understanding be tween Russia and the United States unless a strong and united Europe is a reality. "The European countries, tak en one by one, as a result of the emergence of world powers have become too weak decisively to influence high policy in the di rection of peace. Always Be Danger "In its present powerless and defenseless position. Euroue will always be a danger to the world. The European council must be come a European parliament that holds real power and lead ership- This is the first require ment. If all is left to the minis tries, the European assembly re mains only a forum lor nice speeches. But not much more Real Drogress can be made only through a real European parlia ment, not through bureaucracy, "Germany should be invited to such a parliament as quickly as possible. Too many people with one motion of the hand today in vite Germany to come in and with the other hand ask her to 'stay out.' Such gestures make no sense and do more harm than good." Portland Considering Smog Control Law Portland. Ore.. Apr. 4 (U.R) Preliminary draft of a proposed ordinance for control of "smog" in Portland was drawn ud today by a special committee appoint ed by Mayor Dorothy McCul lough Lee. Chairman J. Donald Kroeker said the presence of "fumes, malodorous gases and noxous acid vapors" in Portland's at mosphere had been confirmed by "a realistic layman's appraisal." During favorable atmospheric temperatures and air move ments, he said, most contaminat ing material is carried to the upper atmosphere and is no problem. Flying Saucers Actually Planes, Magazine Claims Washington, Apr. 4 (U.R) The magazine U. S. News it World ReDort said today flying saucers are actual planes, "soundly en gineered on principles developed by U. S. in wartime." The magazine said that "sur face indications" point to "re search centers of the U. S. navy's vast guided-missile project as the scene of present flying saucer development." , Has Background "That project has the scien tists, the engineers, the dollars, the motive and the background of early navy development of saucer-type aircraft," the maga zine said. "This likelihood will remain, despite any future denials by the navy front office, until secrecy is lifted on the big missile pro gram." The navy, in commenting on the magazine story, said it has no type of aircraft under construc tion resembling the flying saucer. The nearest thing to it, the navy said, would be the twin engine Chance-Vought XF-5-U-1 built two years ago and designed by Charles H. Zimmerman, then chief designer for Chance Vought. . Never Flown The navy said this plane was not successful and never flown. Nicknamed the "Flying Pan cake," the craft is now in stor age at Langley Field, Va., the navy said. It said a small, 3,000-pound model of the plane was flown by radio control, but could not have flown faster than 200 miles per hour. U. S. News, in its "real story" of flying saucers, said the "Fly ing Pancake was an early model" of fly saucers and said it had a maximum speed of 400 to 500 miles an hour. The magazine said the evi dence is that flying saucers are aircraft of a revolutionary type, a combination of helicopter and fast jet plane."

Scab Spray Advised For Pear Orchards Now is the time to apply the early pink bud spray to pears in orchards where scab has been a problem, according to C. B. Cordy, county extension agent for horticulture. There are a few areas where scab was a problem last vear and all varieties should be sprayed in those places, he said. All winter nelis should be sprayed because, according to Cordy, they seem particularly susceptible to scab. j He recommends two and a j half gallons of liquid lime sulfur j per 100 gallons of spray ior bartlett, bosc and nelis. Use of one and half pounds of ferbam per 100 gallons for anjou, cornice and seckcl is suggested. Where speed sprayers are used, eight gallons of lime sul fur per acre in at least 200 gal lons of water would be satisfac tory. With ferbam. seven pounds per acre should be used In a speed sprayer.
