Wtdnesday, May 23. 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE KIWI Adenauer's Visits Dramatic Evidence of Rebirth off Nation Devastated by War Editor's not: This If th second In a series of three dispatrhes on the as toniialnf comeback of Western Germany. By JOSEPH W. GRIGG United Pre. Correspondent Bonn, Germany '.U.R; Early next month a ramrod stiff old German of 80 will board an air liner bearing the blue griffon emblem of the reborn German Lufthansa and wing his way across the Atlantic. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will be on his way to confer . with President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Adenauer's trip to Washington and his recent visits to Lon don, Paris and other world capi tals are dramatic evidence of the "German miracle," the re birth of a nation utterly de vastated by war and just 11 years later again one of the great' powers. Hardly a major international get-together is held these days without Adenauer or his chain smoking foreign minister. Dr. Henrich von Brentano, being called in for consultation. Von Brentano is the man pinpointed by Adenauer as his own succes sor some day. Admitted To NATO Almost 10 years to the day fter Nazi Germany capitulated, Adenauer's Bonn Republic was admitted to NATO as its 16th member. It also became a mem ber of the seventh nation West European Alliance. Today West Germany also is a member of the Organization for European Economic Coopera tion, the Strasbourg Council of SSMMSMMqfflSSienBSSSari gffiE3G3j So smooth it leaves you breathless I inirnoff ike maiest name a -VODKA 80 Proof Distilled fromgrain.Ste.Prerre Smirnoff fis.

It would be a member of the United Nations if its entry were not blocked by the Soviets. Last year an immense new foreign office building, costing several million deutschmarks, was completed in Bonn, over looking the swift-flowing Rhine river. It houses the 1200 offi cials master-minding the hust ling diplomacy of the nation that again has become a major factor in world politics. To the shiny new foreign of fice and the gleaming white chancellory building, the Sch aumburg palace where Ade nauer's own office looks out across the Rhine to the fabled Seven Hills, have come in the past year the ministers of many nations. Among them were the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Ireland, Belgium, Den mark, Greece, Yugoslavia. Tur key, Egypt, Ceylon, Iran, Thail and, Liberia and even little Ice land. To all Adenauer and Brentano put these points: 1. Come what may, West Ger many will remain a firm and loyal ally of the West. 2. German reunification must be in the forefront of any East West cold war settlement. Nazism Dead Adenauer never tires of tell ing his callers that these are two principles from which West Ger man foreign policy never will deviate. He also never tires of insisting that Germany is a re liable ally and that there is no danger of a rebirth of Nazism or of her turning around and mak ing a deal with the Russians. However, he warned in a re cent United Press interview that West Germans always will have to keep their guards up to defend their democracy against either leftist or rightist extremists. Western diplomats here share Adenauer's optimism that there is no serious danger from either .former Nazis . or Communists. The Supreme Court outlawed the only neo-Nazi movement that made so much as a ripple on German politics. And the tiny Communist party failed to win even a single seat in the Parlia ment in the last election. . West Germany's parliamen tary democracy, though barely seven years old, has provided this country with the most stable government of any European nation in post-war years. So it will be with head high will go, to Washington next and conferring from a position month to talk with the man who of great strength that Adenauer once would not even deign to accept Germany's surrender. Tomorrow: The rebirth of the German military.
