Adenauer's Election Prospect
Brighter After Soviet Blast
By PETER WEBB
UniUd Pres Correipondent
Berlin- iw Election pros
pects looked brighter today for
West German Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer as a result of the
savage attack made on him by
Soviet Communist leader Nikita
Khrushchev.
Western observers, who heard
Khrushchev lambaste Adenauer
during his recent East German
tour, believe the attacks which
ranged from comparing Ade
nauer with Adolf Hitler to warn
ing that he was leading Ger
many along the road to war
have virtually clinched the Sept.
15 elections in Adenauer's favor.
They believe the attacks,
couched in some of the strongest
language one head of state has
ever used in critizing another,
will boomerang in Adenauer's
favor among the West German
ectorate.
There is a school of thought
which be litres this was exactly
what the Soviets intended, as
they are unwilling at the mo
ment to negotiate with a Social
ist government over the reuni
fication of Germany.
, Bad Stand Clear
The Soviet leaders made it
clear during their seven-day
East German tour Aug. 7-14 that
they are determined to maintain
the division of Germany and to
back the east zone satellite state
with all their power.
Their eventual am is the
takeover of all Germany and its
incorporation into the east bloc.
In the meantime, attacks on
Adenauer as 3 "warmonger and
imperialist tool" enable the So
viets to claim that it is impossi
ble to negoiate with him, and
thereby to perpetuate the status
quo until they are ready to
make their next move.
Even before Khrushchev had
lashed out at Adenauer, the elec
tion balance had swung in his
favor.
Most political experts believe
that Adenauer will be returned
for his third successive term
since 1949, although perhaps
with a reduced majority.
Holds Absolut Majority
At present Adenauer's Chris
tion Democait party holds an
absolute giajority in the Bunde
stag (lower house) with 253
seats, compared to 153 Social
ists, 37 Free Democrats, 19 Ref
ugee party and tlee independ
ents. In the September election, at
least 494 stats will be contested,
exactly half of them by direct
election if? the 247 constituen
cies. The remainder will be set
tled by proportional representa
tion. Victory for the 82-year-old
chancellor will give him 12
straight years in office if he
completes the fir-year term.
This has been one of the main
election arguments by the oppo
sition Socialists, who claim that
12 years is too long for any one
man to govft-n the country.
Thejr theme is "It's time for a
change."
They also say his election will
end all hope of German reuni
fication, and expos? Western
Germany to a further period of
cold war.
In reply, Adenauer has turned
his big guns on the "Socialists,
vitually ignoring the smaller
parties, and lias warned in sev
eral major campaign speeches
that their victory in the elec
tions would mean the "downfall
of Germany."
Attacks Socialist Promises
He has Oattacked Socialist
promises that they would "re
examine" West Germany's mem
bership in the NATO pact, and
warned bluntly that a Socialist
government would take the
country down the road to Com
munism. Most of the campaign so far
has been fought on foreign pol-
'Shasta' Detonated
By AEC Sunday
Atomic Test Site, Nev. Wl
Adverse weather conditions ear
ly today prevented the Atomic
Energy commission from getting
back on schedule with the trig
gering of a small-sized nuclear
device.
Scientists were forced to post
pone ipr 24 hours detonation of
a devote, duhbed "Doppler," be
cause of strong winds and ft rain
storm at the Nevada Proving
grounds. The test was resched
uled for 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.
It was to be the second nu
clear explosion in two days. The
AEC Sunday finally fired its
oft postponed "Shasta" device.
The test had been postponed a
record number of 19 times be
cause of unfavorable weather
and technical problems.
The AEC had hoped to get
back on its summer test sched
ule by detonating "Doppler"
from a balloon 1,500 feet over
the desert. It was to be the 13th
blast in the series.
Sunday's shot sent a vivid
orange then purplish cloud
mushrooming 30.000 feet in the
pre-dawn sky. The AEC said
only "light fallout" resulted
from the blast triggered atop a
500-foot steel tower. The shot
released a power equal to 10,000
tons of TNT.
icy issues, all of them revolving
around the reunification prob
lem. The Socialists, led by Erich
Ollenhauer, say that only a new,
flexible approach envisaging
the possible withdrawal of West
Germany from NATO and the
negotiation of a European secu
rity pact can hope to wring
concessions from the Russians.
Adenauer, in reply, says that
only West Germany's alliances
with the Western powers save it
from falling into Soviet hands,
and that eventually the Soviets
will be forced by their own in
ternal problems to relax then
grip on the east zone.
At present, as far as foreign
observers can predict, most West
Germans appear to agree with
"Der Alte" (the old one) as the
chancellor is known.

Funds Made Available
For Survey Work in
Rogue River Basin
Washington, D.C. Congress
man Charles O. Porter (D.-Ore.)
announced this week end that
funds have now been made
available for every Army engi
neer examination and survey
which has been authorized by
Congress for the 4th Congres
sional district.
Porter was notified by Briga
dier General J. L. Person, chief
of civil works in the Washing
ton, D.C, office of the chief of
Army engineers, that allocations
have been made for all six sur
veys on the list for southwestern
Oregon, including three which
had not been included in the
President's budget request for
fiscal year 1953.
General Person described the
allocations as "tentative" be
cause of the fact that the Presi
dent has not yet signed the Pub
lic Works Appropriations act,
passed by both Houses of Con
gress more than a week ago and
sent to the White House.

unusual," said Porter. "The
President has 10 days in which
to act after passage of a bill by
Congress."
Largest allocation among the
six items is for the widely-discussed
"Rogue River and Tribu
taries Survey Report," a flood
control examination by the
corps of engineers. The alloca
tion for fiscal year 1958 for this
report is $40,000, enough, ac
cording to General Person to
complete the report. The total
expenditure for the report by
the end of the current fiscal
year was $70,000.
"The report is being awaited
by local interests in the Rogue
River area, most'of whom," said
Porter, "have agreed to abide
by its recommendations on the
type of flood control projects to
be constructed on the river."
Congressman Porter has also
agreed to modify his Rogue
River basin project bill, H.R.
9030, to conform to the engi
neers' report, when completed,
if it should conflict with present
provisions of the bill.
The funds for the Rogue River
survey completion were not in
cluded in the President's budget,
partly through an oversight on
the part of the corps of engi
neers, but a strong plea for the
additional funds was made to
the appropriate committees by
Porter and by other members
of the Oregon Democratic delegation.
