Willy Brandt, born the year the first World War started and now lord mayor of West Berlin, is the chosen instru ment of the challengers. Although the top candidate of the Socialist opposition in the elections tentatively sched uled for September, Brandt is soft-pedaling criticism of Adenauer's policies. Instead, Brandt argues, pol icies suitable for the '50s are unfit to meet the problems of the '60s. He says younger men must be given the reins of power, and that he is the logical suc cessor to Adenauer, who so far has refrained from naming an heir-apparent from his own party ranks. Adenauer has countered that the Socialists are untrust worthy. If they are elected, he alleges, the whole western de fense alliance so painfully erected during the last decade will come tumbling down He accuses the Socialists of switching from outright oppo sition to conditional support of national defense only in order to win a national elec tion. Once they win, he alleg es, the Socialists will revert to form. Smart Money Most of the smart money says Adenauer will rack up his fourth conservative vic tory - if he stays healthy. At years end, the old statesman suffered a setback precisely that field. Al though he opened 1960 with a state visit to Rome and the Vatican, and followed it up in the spring with another tri umphal tour of the United States from which he went on to Japan, last year closed with the chancellor being iforced to cancel scheduled visits to Paris and London because of a cold. The reaction of other gov ernments to Adenauer's de cision to cancel the visits demonstrated the key role the German plays in European and world affairs. Within hours of the can cellation announcement, the scheduled summit meeting of the European Economic Com munity (EEC) nations wjs postponed. Without Aden auer, there appeared little point in holding the session.

SP 3-6763 disappointed. London looks to Adenauer as the continental leader most able to resolve the feud between the EEC and the British-led European Free Trade Area. Adenauer is given much of the credit for taking some of the steam out of that feud dur ing 1960. But the dispute is far from settled, and 1961 is the year which determines whether there are to be one or two European trading zones. Po litical leaders say if the issue Isn't resolved by the end of 1961, the gulf between the two will be so wide as to be almost unbridgable. Treasurer Receives Check From State The county treasurer has received a check from the sec retary of state for $141,608.96 for the quarterly payment of the county's share of motor vehicle registration, motor fuel tax, fines for violation of motor vehicle laws and motor carrier fees.
