Moscow U.R) An East
German delegation was flying
here today to meet Soviet lead
ers in a momentous conferenc
expected to discredit' West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer and seal the division of
Germany for years to come. '
The Soviets delivered a sting
ihe rebuff to Adenauer Thurs
day night when they bluntly
contradicted his claim to speais
for all of Germany and his asser
tion that only a peace treaty can
fix the final frontiers of Ger
many. " '
Informed sources said the So
viets also intended to give full
credit to the East German dele
cation headed by Premier Otto
Grotewohl for the release of
German war prisoners. Ade
nauer announced Tuesday he
had won the promise in four
days Of hard bargaining.
Aoreemeni Made Tuesday
Adenauer said Bulganin and
Communist Party chief Nikita
Khrushchev told him Tuesday
the Soviet Union would release
all German war prisoners cur
rently held in the Soviet Union.
This was a price he had de
manded for establishment of dip
lomatic ties. . - .
Announcement of their ver
bal promise was widely hailed
in the Western world as a vic
tory for Adenauer. But the sud
den switch which brought the
Fast Germans to Moscow was
seen as a resounding slap in the
face for the 79-year-old chan
cellor. Not Part of Bargain
Western observers here said
fhe Soviets would likely , dress
lip" the release of the prisoners
as an act of clemency following
appeals from East Germany
not as part of a bargain made
with Adenauer.
Such a move, observers said,
would not only discredit Ade
nauer at least in the eyes of
the Communist world but
would give an intense stimulus
to the East German government.
The impending double take
was considered a switch from
the "love everybody" policy
which the Soviet has pursued
since the Geneva Summit Con
ference last ;July, . and the
sources predicted it" may bring
orth considerable criticism
from the West. .

he was in jail.
Walter A. Rickett of Seattle,
Wash., who said he had "spied'
for American, Dutch and British
groups before sentenced to a 10-
year prison term.
Wife Released Earlier
Rickett s wife, Adle, was re
leased by the . Communists last
Feb. 27. She arrived singing the
praises of Communist China and
said she, too, had been a "spy,
Rickett, faced by a battery of
newsmen and photographers
after .,hs. relae(se, was asked
pointblank, "Are you" a spy."
"Well, I collected information
for the American consulate and
other organizations," he said.
: He ., added in an undertone,
Therefore I am a spy." ,
; Asked if he had been' "indoc

Soviets Desire Peace

"It may lead the world on
two possible paths,"-he told
press conference. "It may lead
the world to realize that it is
better for it to develop peace
fully, or it may lead to a return
to the old methods.
"But the free world, with all
watchfulness and caution, must
accept this Soviet need as
reality in world politics.",:

Benson Cites Plight
Of American Farmers
Washington (U.R) Secretary
of Aericulture Ezra T. Benson
charged today that "prophets of
gloom and aoom" are trying to
make a "political football" out
of the current plight of Ameri
can farmers."
Although he didn't mention
the Democrats, 'the secretary
aimed his comment squarely at
their claims that the Republicans
are -to blame for a decline in
farm prices, and income.
Benson told a news conference
he is "deeply concerned about
the problem but he deplored the
efforts of some groups to make
a political issue out of it.
"Farmers are in a cost-price
squeeze and it's real . . ." Benson
said. .
But he declared his firm con
fidence that American agricul
ture is basically sound and that
solutions will be found to cur
rent problems "despite what is
said by propHets of gloom and
doom and the political depres
sion that seems to be on."
Nearly $4,500,000 Worth of Timber Lost
In Siskiyou County Brush, Forest Fires
Yreka Nearly $4,500,000
worth of merchantable timber
was destroyed in the early-September
forest and brush fires in
Siskiyou county, according to
estimates made this, week by R.
W. Bower, supervisor of Klam
ath National forest.
Some 350,500,000 board feet
of timberonly slightly less than
the annual average timber cut
in the county, was destroyed, ac
cording to Bower's estimate.
Cost Not Included
These figures do not include
ti tramandou cost oi fighting
the blazes, which include mov
ing in thousands of men, tons of
equipment, and food and sup
plies. A detailed survey of the dam
age has been started, Bower
said, and will be completed in
about two weeks. Helicopters
are flying over the burned areas
to assist the survey. -Rain.
Helps ,
Fires are still smouldering in
some of the burned-over areas,
although the worst of the blazes
b,ave been doused by heavy rains
of the past few days. The fires
may oontinut hoi until a long,
drenching rain soaks the ground
and snags thoroughly, and for
esters pointed out that if there
is : another protracted period
without rain, some of the fires
could again flare up.
Rain Dance '
Credit for the heavy rains.
which had not been predicted by
the weather bureau, was given
by some to Zuni and Apache
Indian fire fighters, wno staged
a rain dance after they arrived
It lasted all one night and part
of the next day, stopping only

In Critical Condition
One man was killed and 18
other people were injured yes

Revolt Against CIO
Detroit U.R) A rebellion by
skilled workers against the CIO
United Auto Workers union to
day stirred walkouts at Chrysler
Corp. plants which the company
said might hamper the introduc

shortly after a local union
executive board suspended a
shop - committeeman and two -stewards
from their union posts
on grounds that they had joined
or aided a rival union.
About 300 skilled tradesmen
walked out at the company's
Vernor plant and soon were
joined by 120 workers at Chrys

The walkout at the Mack
Plant forced the company to

workers. '.
