Formation of Parliament of Europe
By A- L. 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

and the leu-wing unuea electri
cal workers.
Professor Designs
Chair for Comfort
Delaware. O (U.R) Tired of
sitting in chairs that were de
signed to look at, 'William
Green, Instructor at Ohio Wes-
leyan University, has designed
chair for comfort alone.
The new chair is simply de
signed, composed of four pieces
of plywood, four rods and a quar-ter-nf-a-mile
of fisherman's net
twine.
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.
Green refused to name his
creation and many will approve
on reading the title of one of his
prize winning water colors
"The Iconography of Orinthol
ogical Piscatnlogy."
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. The wife
went to the game alone.
At the last minute, the hus
band found hp could go. He hur
ried to the game, bought a ticket
and crowded his way into the
Coliseum.
He sat down In the seat be
side his wife.
BAN SUNDAY FUNERALS
Arcadia, Fla. (U.R) Ministers
want to ban Sunday funerals
here. 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.
Charles Koch, a railroad
switchman, testified that he and
his wife were riding in the fam
ily car one day when he started
whistling. "One Dozen Roses."
My wife said, Money, please
don't whistle that song. It re
minds me of something that
would make you mad,'," Koch
told the court.
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. Ihe divorce
suit was left pending.
Silver Dollars Used

River Leaves Banks
On Minnesota Border
Chicago. 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."

sideration.' 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.
