U.S. Expected To Ditch Adenauer's Plebiscite Proposal Washington - (UPD - The United States is expected to sidetrack West German Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer's pro posal for a plebiscite in Al lied West Berlin but to chal lenge Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to hold a self-determination vote in Russian occupied East Germany. High officials said the feel ing here is that Adenauer's suggestion for a pre-summit plebiscite in West Berlin was ; ill-timed and would only prove' what is already known - that West Berlmers over whelmingly reject any change in their status which might leave them at the mercy of the Communists. Opposite Reaction A hastily arranged plebis cite just before the summit, designed only to reemphasize the obvious, might well react against the West, officials said. It could be interpreted and propagandized by the Kremlin as a gratituous slap at Khrushchev designed to poison the pre-summit atmos phere and jeopardize chances of progress there. The Allied call for a plebis cite in Soviet-ruled East Ger many probably will be pre sented to Khrushchev when he meets with President Eis enhower and the British and French leaders in Paris May 16, officials said. The ground work may be laid in prepara tory statements here and else where calling upon the Soviet leader to practice in Europe what he preached on his re cent trip to Asia - the right of self-determination for all non-sovereign peoples. Secretary of State Chris tian A. Herter, according to authorities here, told Ade nauer, during their meetings Section B Medford Pages 1-8 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1960 recently, of the U.S. plan to challenge Khrushchev on the issue. The secretary did not mention the possibility of another plebiscite in West Berlin, where the inhabitants voted 96 per cent anti-Com munist in a test election in December, 1958, just 15 months ago. Herter talked to Adenauer principally about East Germany, where the voters have never had an ob jective chance to vote on their future. As one U.S. official put it, Adenauer "seized the ball and ran clear out of the park with it" by suddenly propos ing that the Allies hold a pre-summit plebiscite in their sector of Berlin to reinforce their position for the summit meeting. The problems of German reunification, divid ed Berlin, disarmament and East - West relations are ex pected to be the main topics of discussion at the summit. Consideration Promised Surprised and somewhat embarrassed, the State De partment said it would give Adenauer's proposal "careful consideration." A quick check in Berlin, Bonn and other Allied capitals revealed Ade nauer had sprung his pro posal without the knowledge or support of Mayor Willie Brandt of West Berlin. And there was no real backing for it in the various Western na tions. American officials thus feel, with some relief, that they can let the Adenauer suggestion die - at least until after the summit meeting -unless the wily chancellor in sists on bringing it up again. In that event, they probably will plead lack of time to do anything before May 16. Question of Negro Spiritual Summarizes Lent Significance By THE REV. BURTON W. SMITH Pastor, Ballard First Lutheran Church. Seattle, Wash. Vrilten for UPI The haunting question of the Negro spiritual summar izes the spiritual significance of Lent: "Sometimes it causes me to tremble . . . Were you there when they .crucified my Lord?" For centuries the church has observed the forty days before Easter as Lent. Medi tation on the death of Christ makes it a time of cross-examination. Man trembles before the drama of the ages. There's trembling in the knowledge of p e r s o n a 1 in- volwmemt. Scripture de clares: "Bruised for our in iquities." No longer spectators but participants we are mir g rored in the grim faces about Calvary. Could -we be there in the hypo-critical Judas, the self reliant -Peter, the crafty churchman Caiaphas, the va cilatytg Pilate, the disciples deserting when "the heat was on." Somewhere we are there. . . . recognizing our desperate need of divine forgiveness. We tremble. Do not overlook the pri mary person. He looms above human weakness. More than "the best man who ever lived" He is "the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" - the victor not the victim who does for us what we couldn't do. We tremble . . . not in fear, frustration, futility but in awe and adoration.
