MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, ML0FORD. OREGON TutBUAr. AUGUST to, 1963 A 3 By WELLINGTON LONG United Prii International Bonn -IUPD- West Germany's reluctance to sign the limited nuclear test ban treaty stem med from Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's fears that Soviet American aereements mav ho made on the basis of a for ever-divided Germany. It was the common strug gle against Oermanv that drew the United States and Kussia together, and it was a dispute about the division of the German spoils that drove them apart. Adenauer knows M o s cow would be perfectly satisfied to settle now on the basis of two German states - one with a freely elected pro-Western government, the other with a Communist regime held in place with Soviet bayonets. He has been nagged for years by the fear the United States would accept the two German states theory, too, if that appeared to be the only thing delaying agreement on issues of more direct interest to the American people. The "old man" of Germa ny always knew the question would become acute when and if the United States and Russia approach! a disarma ment agreement. It became urgent in fact with the" signature in Moscow of the partial, nuclear test ban treaty. The treaty is open to signatures of all states - and the East German regime was among the first to sign it. Adenauer contends, and his Western allies are on record as supporting his contention, that only a freely elected gov ernment can speak for Ger many. His is the only freely elected government in Ger many. The Communist regime in the Soviet zone of Germa ny was imposed on it by the Red army, which also main tained it in power through the workers revolt of 1953. The Western powers have insisted Germany must be re united by free elections throughout the country. The Soviet Union contends the two parts of Germany have made their choice, and that the two regimes are of equal status and should negotiate their differences directly. None of the NATO menv bers recognizes the regime of East Germany as legitimate and, by threatening diplomat ic sanctions, West Germany has managed to prevent the shaky neutral states taking up full scale relations with it But as the years have pass ed, the East German regime has nevertheless managed to improve its international stat us. It has established several trade missions in the Middle East. Africa and Asia, and managed to get their chiefs accredited as consuls general. In 1959, both the East Ger man and West German admin istrations were seated as ad visors at a big four foreign ministers conference in Gene va.

The Rus sians won't approve West Germany's application unless East Germany is allowed to join at the same time, and the Western powers won't ac cept that. Adenauer's concern over the nuclear treaty has been that finally the East German regime was going to be seated at an international conference on an equal basis with mem bers of NATO - and West Germany as well if she signed the treaty, too. Article three of the nuclear treaty says it is open to all states for signature. Article two says proposed amend ments to the treaty must be considered by a conference of all parties to it. An amend' ment requires the approval of a majority of all the parties to the treaty It is in these sections of the treaty that the West Ger mans have smelled danger. They feared that by simply signing the treaty, the East German regime would be at taining recognized interna tional status. The United States has in sisted this is not so, that a regime cannot win recogni tion for itself but that recog nition must be granted by an other. On the other hand, the U.S. Slate department has felt that if Communist China - a re gime it also does not recog nize - signed the nuclear test ban treaty it would do much to wipe out its Korean war record and smooth the path towards eventual entry of China into the United Nations. Bonn is aware of this thought, and is running scar ed. For that reason, Adenauer insisted on official American assurances that the East Ger man regime has not gained international recognition sim ply by signing the nuclear treaty. For that reason, he also wanted to make sure that any other disarmament step is linked to a step toward re uniting Germany by means of a free election. gray Relative Killed In Auto Accident Talent - Mr. and Mrs. Lu ther Cutburth, 101 East Main st., Talent, left for Springfield Saturday due to the death of their nephew, Delbert John son, in a automobile accident.
