Bonn, Germany ': (U.R) The
birth of the new West German
army.,, will be a turning point
in post-war ' European history
; ; The Bonn Republic will have
only 500,000 men. under , arms.
Russia has more than 4,000,000
. But the significance of the
- new German Streitkraef te goes
beyond more - figures. ?;
' It means the re-emergence of
' a sovereign Germany. Behind
the West German armed forces
will be 50,000,000 vigorous, in
. dtistrious, free people, steeped
in proud military tradition.
'Future Menace Seen "
-;- Germany is already ' on the
; way . to being a world: power
; again. One reason why France
hestitated to agree to German
." rearmament is that it , foresaw
the day when Germany might
. r again overshadow Russia as a
military menace. . : -i
' West Germany- is .enjoying a
- remarkable boom.: Its ; produc-
tion,' its national income,, its ex
." ports are soaring. "
The index of .industrial pro-
,-duction, which was 179.7 in No
. Ivember, 1953, reached 202,2 in
November, 1954 . .V:
The volume of iorelgn trade,
which was . $8,280,000,000 in
1953, reached $9,960,000,000 in
.1954. . " " V
West Germany's : favorable
' trade balance in 1954- was $672,-

17,432,104 tons of raw steel,ll,

r Germany's steel production
I was arbitrarily restricted by the
allies from the end of World,
i War II until July, 1952, as a
security measure. The restric-'
lion was ended when the Euro

the Schuman Plan came into

" ' Russia had hoped to take over
alT Germany after the war'," by

jWould' put the Communists "in
power, and take with Germany
j the Ruhr steel and coal indus-
-"if Had that happened, Russia
Would have surpassed the Uni
fied States in production by 1960.

A Nichol's Worth of...
Comment On This and That
. ' ' . " By HARMAN W.' NICHOLS ':
' : Unitod Pntfl Futw Wti. . ! !
Washington - (U.R) When York policeman some more food
y
you get the law on you, you are
in a sorry mess. Particularly, u
f7? it happens to
'4 be the . New
It Police Depart-
fT (j. went-
It's hannened
f'4 before, and I
VJ should have
: Known better.
But this time
I wrote a piece
about a .-left-
Haxmon Nichols handed; p e n
mat lias . just - come out. : - .
' I quoted a lovely lady. "who is
right handed; about, the modern
southpaw quill.' Her name-was
Jerelyn Madison. She ' made a
count of hands, right : and ..left,
and found that there were a lot
more boy left-handers than girl
left-handers.1 - - -: "
The ink on the ' papers was
hardly dry before I got a sizzling
letter- from Sgt. Thomas Con
nors, also right handed, who hap
pened to be preparing an article
on left-handed cops in the New
York Police Department .
Battle' of '.S tatistica l -
" The maQ' has been' going back
and forth ever, since, with this
clown Tin the middle. The ser
geant asked Miss Madison what
she meant by saying that one out
of every ri6 persons winds up
and writes: port-sided? : '
"So far as I can find outi he
wrote the lady at Fort Madison,
only one out of every: 100
New York, policemen shoots left-
handed,'-. .: - : j
Miss Madison replied that she
was not counting shooting icops
when she did her research; She
was interested in writing . and
whether, a pen point should be
bent to the left or right for-leit-
handers ; -.. : . , .--...y.j,';
- The pen lady said she person
ally knew a lot of people, in
cluding a',.few , cops,, who ? can
draw; from a "hip or shoulder
holster with either hand. , ', :
. MAlso,": she. wrote SgtJ . Con
nors, "Many's the man or gal
who writes ; left handed . but
shoots pool or golf right handed,
and so there!". " ...
-' Miss ; Madison ' gave the Jew
man motion picture reaches' pre
war level . i . West Germany to
inaugurate ' first post-war. civil
air line about March 1 . . '. ;
j In tte first 10 months of 1954
German industrial production
increased ' nearly twice as : fast
as that of Great Britain, France,
Belgium ; ancF- the , Netherlands,
according to German figures- ,
-! As things are going, it should
not be many years before West
Germany is a real world power.
Then may come, the time for
a reappraisal, , possibly , some
what agonizing, of the relative
positions . of the . ; German . col
lossus and the Russian colossus.

.She said the University of Wis
consin, did some research - and
found that "there is no doubt
that, left handedness tends to
slow up a child's progress in
handwriting. The child finds
much to confuse him in a world
of right handed people." , . .
. Miss Madison and. the experts
at": Wisconsin can. believe that,
but I doubt 'it I have a left
handed daughter and she writes
a beautiful hand; when she feels
like it, and also fast t and .she
doesn't stand on her head, to do
it, either. ' ' : , . ,. ;
' Child psychologists say that if
a kid is born left handed, that is
nobody's fault and no cause for
alarm. Just let him be and don't
try to make him. right handed.
And Sgt. Connors, that must
go for policemen, too.- If they
aim straight and hit the target,
what difference does it make?
One bullet hurts as much as the
other, no matter what hand fires

X tell yu this: , , ,
The first time toe: put eyes on' the 1955
Buicks, we really raised a cheer. , ' '
To top the looks of last year's Buick the
car that moved Buick into the top three of
the nation's best sellers that was something.
That gave us two hits in a row, we figured
and it seems we figured right.
For with these stunning new 1955 Buicks,
we're getting even more noses pressed
against our: showroom windows than last
year and more folks coming in to look and
study and drive and buy.
