OREGON Fast Rising Politico Chosen West German Defense Minister (Editor! nolei Thli month Kai-Uwa von Hunl takes office Woit Gorman de fense mlnlitor. Ho will bo responsible for Western Europe's largest NATO rmod ferco. Ho inevitably also assumes key rolo In Gorman politics and some sao in him a possible fuiura chancellor.) By RICHARD H. GROWALD United Press International . Frankfurt, Germany - IUPU -Shortly after being picked as West Germany's next defense minister, Kai-Uwe von Hassel joined some friends in Kiel for a single glass of white Rhine wine and a lot of talk. "When the country needs you, you got to go," said one friend jokingly. "That's right," replied Has sel, not sensing the humor. "When the Fatherland calls, personal aspirations become secondary." Close friends say the re mark sums up Hassel's career - strict devotion to his coun try coupled with a sense of being a man chosen to play an important role. This Is a quality he shares with the man he is succeeding, Franz Josef Strauss. But there the likeness ends. The Ba varian, beer-drinking Strauss roars like a bull, ranges in speech-making emotion from belly laughter to biting sar casm. Strauss can ba and often has been tactless - and this helped bring him down. Smooth Manner Hassel, clearly the product of a north German back ground, Is a smoothie where Strauss might be called a toughie. He has served since 1934 as Prime Minister of the State of Schleswig-Holstein, that cold, wind-swept north ern neck of Germany that leads to Denmark. Its people tend to be as stiff upper lipped as the British, and deeply in grained with the sternness of their Evangelical Lutheran church. This is not the Ger many of carefree beer festi vals and lederhosen (leather shorts). Hassel's Is a land of hard work and few words. Hassel is a rara man In Western politics who speaks Swahlll. He was born April 21, 1913, at Gare, Tanganyika, a pre-World War I German colony. Educated In Schles wig Holstein, where the names Kal and Uwe are not uncommon, he returned to East Africa In 1935 where his father had been a pioneer, big gama hunter, and captain in the Kaiser's territorial army. Hassel went to work as an assistant coffee plantation manager and was running miopias commercial planta tion department when World War II began. Returning to Germany, the future defense minister served as an army signal corps lieu tenant and was captured by the British in Italy at war's end. Upon release he went back to Schleswig-Holstein to work as a clerk In an office that handled the refugees from Soviet - occupied Ger many. Ha look an interest in Oregon State Man To Receive Award For Industry Work Corvallis-An Oregon Slate university professor, Dr. James d'Argaville Clark, has been named winner of the nation's highest award from the pulp and paper Industry. He will receive the Gold Medal award from the Techni cal Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry in Febru ary. Presentation will lafce place at the 4R!h annual meeting of TAPPI In New York. Clark has been granted about 45 U.S. patents lor In ventions which range from a tiny food spoilage Indicator lo a 3,000-ton particle board press. He Is especially recog nized for his research Into the fundamental properties of pa per and pulp, and is chairman of TAPPI's standards com mittee. A Visiting Professor Clark has been visiting pro fessor in the OSU department of chemistry for the past two years. He started his career in 1923 s apprentice engineer for a paper mill In London England. He became first sec retary of the paper testing committee of the British Pa- permakers association In 1928. , In 1930. Clark became an engineer for Mead Corpora tion of Ohio and later engin eering and technical manager for Scott Paper company, Pa. During World War II, he de veloped liners for food ship ping cases, and wrote or re vised the packaging and pack ing sections of almost all the U.S. Army specifications for foods and rations. In 1947, ha was honored by the Chicago section of the American Chemical Society as one of the "ten best" In the field of cellulose. . More Is spent by music lov ers in the U.S. In hear con certs' than by sports fans to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Konrad Adenau- er was forming. And the CDU was looking for bright young men. Fast-Rising Politician Then 33, Hassel caught the eye of party leaders and they groomed him for politics. In 1947 he was elected mayor of his town, Gluecksburg. By 1951 he was a member of the state legislature and deputy party chairman. He developed talents as an administrator. and became noted for his macnine-like mind - a cold earnestness that made mole hills of mountainous desk work. Hassel spends little time talking about the broad as pects of grand strategy, "but he makes darn sure no battle is lost for want of t, nail," a colleague said. A senior armed force officer who knows Hassel said, "the trouble Is you can never tell what this man really thinks. I have seen him addressing a housewives' meeting at Neu muenster (a town halfway be tween Hamburg and Kiel). He was brilliant. The women were crazy about that good looking, six foot tall man who spoke with such earnestness and sympathy about their problem. 'That same night I saw Hassel addressing officers at the Armed Force Staff col lege at Hamburg. He was speaking to West Germany's military brains. And again the man was brilliant. The offi cers did something they rare ly do. They applauded wildly. Sometimes I think Hassel is awfully slick." Returns To Capital In 1954, after a brief stint as a rank-and-file CDU par liamentary deputy in Bonn, Hassel returned to the Schleswig-Holstein capital of Kiel as prime minister. His dark blue, gray and black suits, his plain tie, and his low- pitched voice suggest his con- servatlveiiess. But they hide his energy and trigger like actions. During the disastrous Schleswig- - Holstein floods this year, Hassel ran rescue and rehabilitation operations like a general in the field. He hopped from dike to dike by helicopter. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and joined other volunteers piling sandbags against the surging waters. Told two years ago that his state's vital Baltic Sea coast line lacked proper defense, Hassel thought about it for about five minutes and put in a call for a U.S. Marine bat talion. Told his state's civil de fense was almost non-existent, he overnight organized what is regarded as one of West Germany's best. "He amazed us," said a military officer present for the Hassel civil defense plan ning session. "Hassel is a civilian with what little ex perience he ever got as a second lieutenant. But he sure knew how to handle the situa tion." Hassel's administrative abil ity and fusslcss efficiency prompted Chancellor Aden auer to name him a party vice chairman. This helped make 4U Aari .hairiH nnri h nr. man one of a cluster of men picked as possmie iuiure chancellors. As CDU campaign manager in last year's general election, Hassel severely attacked West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, the Socialist standard bearer and a man who joined the Norwegian underground dur ing the war against the Nazis. "I am calling myself a Ger man and I am ready to share and carry the fate of the Ger man people and the Fathiir land," Hassel said. "I am bound to this vow in good and in bad days. I am not re noui cing my people or my nationality for personal and other advantages (as, he im plied, Brandt did). I could not leave the German 'Schicksals gemein chaff (communal or common fate) if it seemed to hold personal dangers for me Wow!

Some called him a hatchet man for that speech. A man of wide acquaintance but few close friends, Hassel breakfasts on a soft boiled egg, a piece of dark bread and a cup of coffee. "My wife has no trouble cooking for me," heh 'says. "I prefer fish to most everything." A man of self-discip'ine, he gave up a pipe and cigars on a doctor's suggestion 10 years ago. He drinks only an occasional glass of wine or beer. The new defense minister still lives in his family's home at Glueecksburg. The house is furnished in the simple "Scan dinavian modern" style. The Hassels have a son Joachim, 21, who plans an army career, and a daughter, Barbara, 19. A boxer dog named "Gang ster" completes the family. Hassel, an avid camera fan, is famed for his flower pho tography in German botanical circles. He also has an ex pert's knowledge of the birds in bird-rich Schleswig - Hol stein. Like many north Germans, Hassel speaks excellent Eng lish. His colleagues predict harmony between Hassel and his Washington, London and Paris allies but some think he will tangle with Foreign Sec reary Gerhard Schrocdcr.

But the creation of jobs for part-time nurses is helping to outwit cupid, according to a report in the American Jour nal of Nursing.

JANUARY 3, 1363 C 5 Bank Guard Symbol Of Political Unrest, Need For Protection the month, it was reported. Maximum daily traffic in November occurred during the Thanksgiving week end, It was noted. By DAVID NOTT United Press International Caracas, Venezuela - IIPII -In the glass and chrome banks of Caracas policemen sit among the typists with pistols at their hips, a bandolier of bullets, and a sub-machine gun across their knees. Banks here have been raid ed to the tune of over $18 million this year. Some of the bandits are common gang sters. Others, police say, ate young Communist fanatics ready to risk their lives and those of passers-by to swell party funds by armed robbery. The policeman is thus more than a guard; he is a symbol of political warfare, an ob trusively visible combatant in Venezuela's own battle against international Commu nism. Mortality Rate The battle has raged for al most the whole of the four years of Romulo Bclancourt's presidency. It is a history of violent propaganda, bomb ings, shootings, guerrilla ac tivity, street riots, and the rebellions in May and June of two Marine garrisons in which tanks and rocket-firing jets too part. This year alone, 47 died in street riots, 31 policemen were murdered, often machine-gunned in the back from moving cars, 40 persons were killed in guerrilla fieht- i"g and at least 120 persons I wore killed in the abortive I military uprisings. Noncthlrss, the government contends this battle is one Hint Ihe Communists have lost. The director of the counter terrorist campaign is the min ister of the interior, Dr. Car los Andres Perez, the most powerful man in the cabinet, a prodigious worker, and the radical opposition's most hat ed enemy. He says: "We have attacked the extremists with every weapon available. The Communists have been dom inated. Small incidents will continue to occur, but they can no longer mount disturb ances on a scale lo threaten the stability of lite govern ment." Leftists Suspended The extreme left parties -Ihe Communists and the Marxist Leninist movement of Ihe revolutionary left (MIR) - have been suspended from all political activity, their publications banned, their offices closed down. Last week 91 captured guer rillas, among them MIR con gressional deputy Fabricio Ojcda, were sentenced by a military court to a total of 1,534 years in prison. Dr. Gustavo Machado, the urbane secretary . general of this continent's most aggres sive Communist party, ac cepts these facts with a shrug. Says he: "Our morale has never been higher. We will fight t lie government on every front. We shall never relinquish our belief that Marxism is the solution to the stagnation in Venezuela's SODA CRACKERS Busy Baker soda crackers are just a whisper crlsper.

"The most telling factor In this struggle is that the party, for the first time in its 30- year history, has established solid contact with discontent- d elements In the armed forces. We, and the radical wings of all the opposition parties are far from being lone in our determination to oust Betancourt and his disaa- rous regime." Open War Policy Hard-hit or not, the extreme left maintains its policy of open war against the govern ment. So far in Belancourt s four years in office the gov ernment has won every battle. But from now until the gen eral elections of November, 1963, the political struggle will become increasingly bitter. Venezuela, immensely rich in oil and minerals, is a stra tegic salient in the cold war. Politically it is Moscow's de sired beachhead on the South American mainland. It is the scene of Betancourt's historic attempt to prove that demo cratic evolution, not revolu- lon, is the answer to Latin America's misery. His is the first legitimately elected gov ernment In the 150 years of Venezuela's independence to have- survived more than three years without being overthrown by violence. It is In Moscow's interest that he should not survive the re maining 12 . months of his term. Teutsch Named to Head Local Office Thomas L.
