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

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.
STRANGE HOBBY With his only tool a chain saw weigh
ing 10 pounds, Con Hanson of Grand Rapids, Minn., puts
finishing touches to his wood sculpture of an Indian chief.
Hanson started this strange hobby over a year, ago and now
his several ' multi-headed totem poles and various shaped
heads which , he has made. He never spends more than a
couple of hours on any one project. Critics say Hanson will
never become another Michelangelo, but then Michelangelo
never used a chain saw either. (UPI Telephoto)
Southern Bloc Vows
To Keep Fighting
Washington -UPD-Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell, field general
of the Senate's embattled
southern bloc, said Saturday
his forces will "fight to our
last breath" against the House-
approved civil rights bill
which the Senate considers
next week.
The Georgia Democrat said
in an interview that "we
don't like any part of this
bill" but that his Dixieland
forces will concentrate their
main fire on the administra
tion's federal voting referee
plan and a section providing
federal penalties for obstruct
ing court-ordered school de
segregation rulings.

Newspaper Unions
Set Portland Meet
Washington - (UPD Officials
of newspaper craft unions
Saturday scheduled a meeting
next Thursday in Portland to
study progress of the four-month-old
strike which has
idled some 800 of their mem
bers in that city.
William J. Farson, execu
American Newspaper Guild,
said one purpose of the meet
ing is to "implement plans al
ready made and to make fur
ther plans for the successful
conclusion of the strike."
Gadsden, Ala. (UPD A 16
year old crew cut Nazi wor
shipper confessed boastfully
Saturday that he threw a
homemade fire bomb at Beth
Israel synagogue Friday night
and spewed rifle bullets into
the terrified crowd. The boy,
Hubert Sherrell Jackson Jr.,
had told friends he intended
to kill Jews.
There are about 219,800
miles of railway line in conti

not include parallel tracks,
nor yard tracks and sidings.
A coastal orange is not as
"tough" as one grown in the
interior. Apparently the dry,
warm air of the desert influ
ences evaporation of the skin
which toughens it.
