Adenauer Deprived
Of Senate Majority
By Party Desertion
Bonn (U.R) Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer lashed out today
. at the "intolerable" desertion by
his nominal Free Democratic
allies which cost him control of
a key state and threatens to ham
string West German rearmament.
The Free Democratic Party a
member of Adenauer's national
coalition, line'd up with the op
position Socialists in North
Rhine - Westphalia , Monday t o
overthrow provincial Premier
Karl Arnold, a member of the
chancellor's Christian Democrat
ic Party.
Other Desertions Seen
Christian Democratic leaders
are alarmed over the prospect
the FDP may be plotting similar
desertions in other, provinces
which might wreck Adenauer's
pro-Western government.
The turnabout in North Rhine
Westphalia has 'already deprived
Adenauer of the two-third's ma
jority in West Germany's
ate" that he needs to assure
passage of key rearmament
amendments to the constitution.
-The Socialists are open foes
of rearmament ,and the Free
Democrats "might Jbe, willing to
junk West Germany's -crucial
contribution t western defense
in return for a Russian promise
to reunify divided Germany.
Socialists Opposed
The FDP opposes the Social
ists on most domestic issues, but
they favor the opposition pro
posal for a direct approach to
Moscow on reunification.
Adenauer told the German
Press Club here that "it is com
pletely impossible that the FDP
should support the federal gov
ernment but have another policy
in the states."

Steamboating Era Being Preserved !n Indiana Museum
Jeffersonville, Ind. (U.R)
Capt. James E. Howard puffed
on his pipe and answered the
horn of the squat diesel towboat
coming up the Ohio river with a
snort.
"Boats like her wouldn't have
made it 50 miles up-river in the
old days," he commented.
'-'The drift wood and snags
would have wrecked her propel
lers," the tall, wiry riverman ex
plained. "No sir, the river ain't
what it used to be."
Steamboating is in the blood
of Howard's family. His grand
father built his first boat in
1834 and established the, How
ard shipyard here.
Howard's keen blue eyes have
seen the last of the steamboats
disappear forever from the river
during his 80 . years. But he's
making sure the "golden age of
steamboating t on't be forgotten
with his museum here.
His grandfather and father
built many of the luxurious and
fast packet steamers that plied
the rivers of the south. The
Howard shipyard turned out
more than 2,500 steamboats in
its 121-year history, until the
government took it . over in 1943
to build landing craft for World
War II.
Builds Collection,:
Today Howard is busy collect
ing and filling the rooms of his
vast old "Victorian Gothic"
home here with the r,elics and re
minders of the steamboating era.
The museum includes cabin
furniture, anchors, bells,
whistles, boat models, a cabin
door from the famed Robert E.
Lee and pictures of packet and
cotton steamers.
- "It's a big job,"' he said, "and

haven't much time left. Steara-
boating days are gone but
shouldn't be forgotten. There
was an individuality about it,
a man built a boat and he knew
the river and all the people on
it
"When they'd bring a boat
back to the yards to take out
her engines and wreck her, I'd
pick up what I could from her.
Most of her fittings went over
the side into the river.. No one
wanted them anymore.
Why, I remember when the
wharf over at Louisville was
packed deck to deck . with the
packets and cotton boats. Now
all you see are coal and car
barges." . ' .
Howard is making slides to
present a pictorial history of
steamboating and recording a
running commentary on tape
about the boats and their cap
tains. He plans to offer .it to
colleges , and high schools.
"My. father," Howard con
cluded, "used to say, 'As long as
there's water in the rivers
there'll be steamboats running
on them.' Well, that was before
the gasoline and diesel engines.''
