J2 THURSDAY. FEBHUAHV 21. 1963 - MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOBD. OREGON Hdanauer Believed To Actually Oppose Britain in Common Market Rnnn -AIM)- The lone-sland lng doubt over Chancellor Ad enauer's true position to wards further expansion of the Common Market has sud denly erupted into something much more serious. . Suspicion has grown into practically certain knowledge that Adenauer really opposes British entry into the econom ic community and supports the idea only as long as the Scandinavian countries and perhaps Iceland are kept out. Adenauer's opinion was cit ed in an official, albeit confi dential, policy letter publish ed by the Schleswig-Holstein branch of his Christian Demo cratic party. The opposition Socialists got hold of parts of the letter and published them. Later the entire letter was made avail able by the Christian Demo crats. It contains some re markable passages. Minister Oustad The most important quotes Defense Minister Kal Uwe von Hassel as reporting Ade nauer's views on an expand ed Common Market. It reports: 'False' Pride Is Noted by Health Educator at OSU Corvallis - Most Americans take great pride in the na tion's advances in medicine and health - and well they might - but there is some "false" pride Involved at times, an Oregon State uni versity health educator cau tions. It is false, for example, to say that Americans live long er than people in other coun tries. People in seven other countries have a longer life expectancy at birth. And at age 40, males of 16 other na tions have a longer life ex pectancy. The truth is that millions of Americans, including thousands of Oregonians "know far more about health than they practice," Dr. C. L. Anderson points out in his plea for more attention to "building up and mainlaini g a high level" of health. Anderson is author of half a dozen books in the field ol health, is well-known in Ore gon for his television hygiene course, and is campus chair man for the new health Infor mation center formed at OSU to answer questions posed by health education teachers in junior and senior high schools. This month, he was featured speaker at the annual meet ing of the National Da'-y Council. Persons in Sweden have longest life expectancy at birth now, followed in order by Norway, The Netherlands. Denmark, Israel, New Zeal and, and England-Wales, and then the U.S. Interestingly enough too, all seven have higher per capita consump tion of dairy products than the United States, Anderson adds. In his call for more atten tion to good dally health prac tices, Anderson points out that more than 30 per cent o Americans between ages 35 and 65 have an "unsatisfact ory level of health though not ill"-that is. they lack vitality or arc "living in sec ond, not high, gear." Lack of activity, fnulty diets, and other "insults to health-' arc big health prob lems with many people. An derson continued. "Insults to health" include bodily injury, malnutrition, pollutant ef fects, lack of proper rest, ten sion, disabling defects, chron ic infection and failure to take proper care of infections or illness, and the use of pro ducts harmful to health in cluding smoking and alcohol. Dr. Millar to Talk Al Library Meeting Eugene - Dr. Branford P. Millar, president of Portland State college, will be the guest speaker at the 1063 din ner meeting of the Associa tion of Patrons and Friends of the University of Oregon Library. The annual dinner meeting will be In the Erb Memorial Union at the university Fri day. March 1, at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Millar, a scholar in the area of American and English ballads, will speak on "Georgian Nightingales: Kng llsh Broadsides and Ballad Mnngcrs of the Eighteenth Century." His address will be based on his own original re search on balladry In li braries of this country and abroad. Slide reproductions of broadside prints produced by Hogarth and Rowlandson and other lively print makers will illustrate Dr Millar's dis cussion on ballads. "The chancellor says: How is this Europe going to grow, what will this Europe's politi cal picture look like? Social ist Denmark Is to come in, Socialist Norway, Socialist Iceland, perhaps a Great Brit ain governed by the Labor parly. Socialist Sweden al ready is neutral, Finland as well. What is going to happen in Italy with right and left in the long run, no one can say. "The chancellor, therefore, is worried politically because, when all the others join, all of Europe could become a group suddenly influenced by socialism and with basic neu tralist principles. But we should also know that the chancellor certainly shares this opinion: 'If we can find a solution which brings Eng land to the continent without causing all the other accom panying signs, in other words that England's membership doesn't make law of the mem bership of Denmark and Nor way and so on, then I, Ade nauer, am of the opinion that England should come in.' " Said Miiquoled Von Hassel has worked overtime to deny he made such a statement In those words. He has said time and again he has been misquoted. "I just outlined the pros and cons as seen by the chan cellor," he has explained. But the government has been unable to deny anything. An official spokesman told a press conference that because the meeting at which Von Hassel spoke was confidential and because no minutes were made, the government cannot make a full comment. Adenauer himself has not said anything about the issue. The Danish and Norwegian ambassadors to Bonn have received denials from Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder but the matter by no means is closed. Serious trouble within the cabinet is certain and Bonn's ratification of the Franco-German friendship treaty probab ly will run into heavy opposi tion in parliament. Relations between Adenau er and his still-loyal lieuten ant. Economics Minister Lud wig Erhard, are being strain ed almost to the breaking point. Before the Christian Demo cratic letter became known, Erhard attacked Adenauer's European policies for the first time in 12 years of working alongside the chancellor. Chancellory aides let it be known that Adenauer would reply to this attack in a news paper interview. Later the in terview was published. But Adenauer made no reference at all to Erhard's broadside. The chancellor repeated his remarks, made earlier in a government policy statement that he wants Britain in the Common Market. He made no mention at all of the Scandi navian nations. Not too much fuss has re sulted from the Christian Democratic disclosures. Some observers are inclined to treat the affair academically. Adenauer is due to retire in the fall. His place will be taken by either Erhard or Schroeder. Whichever of the. two it is, both strongly back British Common Market membership and the entry of the Scandi navian countries as well. And neither of them is inclined, as perhaps Adenauer is, to take so much notice of French "Real George" 1958 T-BIRD 2 Dr. HT, V-8, Automatic, Paver Brakes end Steering, Air S9 1 QQ fifll Conditioning.
