For millions of Germans, the
most terrible war in history
is still going on nearly 15
years after it supposedly end

and children of more thai!
2,000,000 German soldiers
who vanished without trace
during the war.
The soldiers were not re

reported missing in action.
They simply disappeared.
The German Red Cross has
the names and descriptions of
1,000.219 soldiers who failed
to return home at war's end.
More than 1,000,000 others
remain anonymous, men sim

But officials say there ' is
little hope that more than a

Many relatives, the Red

to know at least how they
died.
The majority of the sol

of the $4,200,000,000 surplus

As a result, the Republicans
probably will be accusing the
Democratic - controlled Con

chances for the 1961 tax cut
for which the President held
out hope.
Democrats, of course, are
hoping to make political hay

heard from again.
Between 1953 and 1955,
Russia released over 20,000
former German soldiers under
various repatriation agree
ments. At that time, Germany
claimed the Soviet Union still
held up to 500,000 more.
The Red Cross believes to
day, though, there is no hope
that large numbers of Ger
mans will return from Rus
sia.
Officials say there is no
evidence to indicate that very
many of the still-missing sol
diers are alive in Russia.
The only survivors, the Red
Cross believes, may be a few
who married Russian women
after the war or some who hid
from the Russians and later
adopted Soviet citizenship.
Thousands more of the
vanished soldiers are thought
to have died during the fierce
fighting in Normandy in 1944.
The Red Cross operates a
special tracing service in
Munich. When returnees
come back - they are still
trickling in - they are asked
to study the service files to
see if they have any knowl
edge of the missing soldiers.
Several thousand German
wives of missing servicemen
have since remarried and it
still happens occasionally that
a soldier returns to find his

But some Democrats fear
the President's budget will
help the Republicans.
"We'll have all the special
interests demanding that we
reject the Eisenhower budget
proposals that hurt them," One
Democrat said. "Then, when
we do, we'll have members of
their groups criticizing us for
spending the surplus."
"Politically, the new bud
get is excellent," one Repub
lican said privately. "It holds
out hope for a tax cut next
year if if the Democratic
Congress does a lot of things
we know it's not going to do.
The recommended boost in
gasoline taxes and postage
rates won't hurt Republicans
because it won't happen. Be

i See No Postal Boost
Simply by taking no action
at all on Eisenhower's plea
for a penny boost in the cost
of mailing a letter and for
cancellation of scheduled re
ductions in telephone and
travel taxes, Congress would
eliminate $1,100,000,000 of
the projected budget surplus;
Legislators agreed that
postal rates would not be
boosted and many members
said it was doubtful that Con
gress would rescind the sched
uled July 1 cuts in communi
cations and transportation
levies.
Eisenhower's tax program
also called for extension for
another year of the higher
taxes levied during the Kor
ean war on corporation prof

Congress is certain to go along
with him on that.

Senate Group -Reviews
Nation's
Defense Posture
Washington - (UPD - Defense
Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr.
told Congress today that the
"clear balance" of military
power is "heavily in our fa
vor" despite a Soviet edge in
long-range missiles.
"There is no deterrent gap,"
Gates said in testimony pre
pared for delivery behind
closed doors before the Senate
Armed Services Committee. A
non-secret version of his pre
pared statement was made
available by the committee.
With the secretary's appear
ance, the Senate committee
launched its annual review of
the nation's defense posture.
As he testified in the Senate,
a House appropriation sub
committee made public a cen
sored version of testimony
given last week by Gates and
Gen. Nathan F. Twining,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
Says Attack Unlikely
Some of the secretary's
comments before the two com
mittees were identical. They
included Gates' blunt assur
ance that "the impression in
some quarters that the Soviet
Union has overtaken or even
outdistanced the United States
in military power is simply
not supported by the facts."
"It is the conclusion of those
who have analyzed this mat
ter that even a surprise attack
by all the missiles the Soviet
could muster would not suf
fice to destroy enough of our
retaliatory striking forces to
make a rational decision to
attack," Gates said in his tes
timony before both groups.
Stronger Forces in Korea
In a related development,
Army Secretary Wilber M.
Snicker said the U.S. may
strengthen its forces in South
Korea in line with a long list
of needs set forth by Gen.
Carter B. Magruder, U.S. com
mander there.
Returning from a three
week tour of the Far East,
Brucker also reaffirmed his
denial of any change in U.S.

Expect Conflicting Testimony
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D
Wash.) proposed when the
Senate hearing opened that
Congress seek the critical
views of Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor, retired Army chief of
staff.
Jackson, a Washington
Democrat, is a member of 4"ie
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee which began an in

space policies of the Eisen
hower administration.
Testimony was certain to
be the subject of conflicting
stands in the forthcoming
presidential campaign.
OCEAN DEPTH
San Francisco-The average
depth of the Pacific ocean
is about 15,180 feet. Its total
area is computed to be in ex
cess of 70 million square
miles.
"Constant hammering away
by the Oregon delegation and
state interests has finally done
some good," Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger said.
Inclusion of the item in the
budget was an "important vic
tory in the seven-year fight
to crack the administration's
embargo on new starts in the
Northwest," he added.
Said Inadequate
Sen. Wayne Morse said he
was pleased that "during an
election year the Eisenhower
administration has at long last
recognized, though inade
ly, the importance of this
highly meritorious project."
Rep. Charles O. Porter said
it was "about time the admin
istration recognized the great
economic importance of start
ing this dam."
But in addition to citing the
Oregon Democrats' efforts on
behalf of Green Peter, Porter
also credited the state's Re
publican governor, Mark Hat
field, with an assist.
Salem-fflPB-Gov. Mark Hat
field said today he was pleased
that President Eisenhower
had requested $1,400,000 to
start Green Peter dam in Ore
gon. The request was contained
in the president's budget mes
sage. Hatfield said that while
each Oregon project for which
money was recommended was
important "perhaps none ex
ceeds the start for Green Peter
as a sharp realization by the
national administration that
this is an investment in Ore
gon's future."

Eisenhower Supports EM
To Preserve Seashore Areas
. By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special)-Presi-dent
Eisenhower made an ap
peal to congress Monday for
legislation to preserve some
of the nation's scenic shore
lines within the national park
system. . ..
Without mentioning the
Oregon dunes or any other
coastal area recommended by
the park service, the presi
dent told congress in his an
nual budget message:
"Before it is too late we
should take steps to preserve,
for public benefit, part of the
Lava
effort to save nearby Warm
Springs resort Monday.
20 Feet High
MacDonald said he would
build one earth barrier 1,500
feet long and a second barrier
1,000 feet long. They will be
20 feet high and 50 wide.
The dikes will be used to
divert a giant river of lava
which threatens this village,
beach houses at Puna, and
other populated areas.
Quinn made his plea to Ei
senhower Monday night after
a two-hour inspection tour of
the stricken area. He said the
lava flow, which is 30 feet
deep in some sections, has
covered 180 acres of farm
land.
"It has fanned out like
pie, ahd each time it encount
ers an Obstacle it sends out a
finger of lava," the govern
or said. "We're concerned
about those fingers-off-shoots
that could head toward pop
ulated areas."
Trees Ingited
The Volcano Monday burst
through 2,000-foot-long earth
dikes hastily constructed to
protect the Warm Springs
area, site of many South Sea
Movies, and molten rock ig
nited trees and picnic tables
neat the cluster . of warm
pools.
There were no reports of
injuries but damage was esti
mated at more than $500,000.

Government Bans
Use of Pesticide
Washington - (I'PD The
government today banned use
of a pesticide widely used on
most food and some feed
crops after it was found to
leave residues of a poisonous
chemical byproduct on the
crops.
The Food and Drum Admin
istration forbade farmers to
use the pesticide Heptachlor
and a product produced
through the weathering pro
cess called Heptachlor - Ep
oxide. The potent pesticide is
used on about 34 fruits and
vegetables - including apples,
pears, and potatoes - and six
or seven forage crops.
The FDA said its action was
based on new evidence that
Heptachlor-Epoxide has been
found on crops treated with
Heptachlor. The new data
also showed, according to the
FDA, that residues of the ep
oxide also appears in meat
and milk when meat and
dairy animals have been fed
forage crops treated with
Heptachlor.
