Since the organization of the Federal German Republic, Ade nauer has been looked upon as Moscow's "Public Enemy No. 1" on the international scene a place he sometimes yielded in Soviet pronouncements only to the late U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and occa sionally to former West German War Minister Josef Strauss. The Soviet vindication of Ade nauer reached such extremes as branding him "another Hitler" Tuflle To Speak At Club Meeting Shelby Tuttle of the Fruit Growers League of Jackson county will speak at the noon meeting of the Southern Oregon Advertising club Oct. 7 at Kim's restaurant.

I was shocked to see my sister after a year and a half of marriage to Ed. She's only 20, but she's chain-smoking, twitchy and nervous, and looks middle-aged already. I'd seen her last as a pink and blooming teen-ager, happy-go-lucky and healthy. She tells me Ed makes her entertain hordes of his rela tives, including dozens of kids who mess up their home.

They have not tended to ignore Adenauer's personality and appear to be pinning some hope on the prospective new West German leadership. Not that they expect reorienta tion of Bonn's basic policy but they appear to be thinking in terms of changes of degree which may make a substantial difference in the quality of Soviet-German relations.

Erhard is reported to have close ties with the leaders of German industry who ha.e dis played interest in expanding economic relations with the Communist East. The Russians are firmly con vinced that German industrial ists wield substantial political power. As an economist who sometimes did not sec eye to eye with Adenauer on political problems, Erhard may prove to be more practical and more flexible, in the Soviet view, and may have somewhat different ideas on Germany's eastern policies than the outgoing chan cellor. Diplomatic sources here have also expressed the opinion that, I unlike Adenauer who consitlered himself his own foreign minis- ter. Erhard is more likely to give freer reign to Foreign Min ister Gerhard Schroedor who has already displayed more flexibility than his predecessor, lleinrich von Brentano.
