denauer Says West
Prepared To Fight
COLOGNE, Germany (UPD
West German Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer said Saturday
night the West was prepared to
use force and the West German
Army to defend its access rights
in the latest Soviet blockade of
Berlin. -
"The incident of the'autobahn
to Berlin was extraordinarily
serious," Adenauer said.
The chancellor, who retires
from office this week, was re
ferring to the Soviet holding
of a U.S. military convoy at
gunpoint for nearly 48 hours on
the highway route between West
Germany and West Berlin. The
Russians . abruptly ended the
new blockade without explana

Earlier at Wunsdorf, the
West German armed forces
paid homage to Adenauer, who
created them from the ruins
of postwar Germany. The chan
cellor told them they had kept
peace in the world.

Old Man Only Interested
In Curlews As Pie Filling
For no reason we could under
stand he seemed proud that he
had eaten so many of those
long-legged birds of the snipe
family in "curlew pie.
"There were millions of cur
lew at the time," he said. "We
could go out on a tidal flat or
a marsh and bag a score or
more in a couple of hour's time
I have killed three at a single
shot, he related.
Like those omnivorous h u-
man feeders of the nursery talcs
who ate four and twenty black
birds baked in a pie," this old
gentleman was not particularly
interested in any biological facts
about the marsh birds, known
as curlews. He, like so many
folks, thought only of satisfying
his appetite.
He wasn't interested at all
that a close relative of the birds
he ate was the so-called Eskimo
curlew which once inhabited the
northern tundras in uncounted

thousands or that uiey were
killed, sometimes merely to sat
isfy some morbid gunner's idea
ot sport, today, trie bsmmo cur
lew is gone. Only a few mount
ed specimen's remain to gather
dust in museums.
Reminiscence
What stated the old "curlew
pie" eater's gastronomic rem
iniscence was on the day we
visited the "city of the long
legs" where half a hundred Hud
sonian curlews were probing the
mud of a tidal-flat, seeking
snails and worms. The long
downward curved bills were
carefully being plunged into the
soft mud, each bill as clever in
its operation as a pair of forceps
in the hand of a skilled surgeon,
except that the birds' bills were
delicately sensitive. Each is
equipped with a series of com
plex nerves, capable of select
ing or rejecting, even while the
eye of the bird couldn't see what
the bill was touching.
The old-timer, the eater of
"curlew pie," cared not at all
that the Hudsonian curlew, simi
lar probably to some he used
to cat, nests in Alaska. Some
are even beyond the Yukon Riv
er, but plentiful in many coastal
regions while on their long
yearly migrations.
Watching the group of curved
bills busy at their mud-probing,
we yielded to the temptation of
distrubing the flock, just to en
joy the spectacle of their pe
culiar method of wing-manipu-lation
when they again come to
rest on the farther end of the
mudflat. Every bird, on alight
ing, lifts both its wings grace
fully above its back, then they
are folded gracefully and gently,
and the mud - probing begins
again.
Relatives Came
While we watched, a large
flock of relatives came alter
nately flapping and gliding in;
great white birds with black-
tipped wings. These, the white
ibis, are often referred to in
the area as the Spanish cur
lew, and probably also formed
the meaty portion of many "cur
lew pies."
The old-timer was not im
pressed with the arrival ot these
graceful birds. He watched them
only as something good to cat

News Machine Has Major Place in Goldwater's Office
By A.. ROBERT SMITH
Mall Tribune
Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON - Sen. Barry
Goldwater's office here has
taken on the appearance of a
political command post.
Goldwater had installed in his
Senate oitice suite a news
ticker," or teleprinter, by which
he and his staff can obtain up
to the minute reports of what
is happening all over the world
and even all over Washington,
D. C from the wires of United
Press International.
Various government agencies,
embassies, and private business
offices as well as newspaper of
fices in Washington buy this
same news service, but prob
ably the only other individual
politican in town who goes to
this expense is the president.
That chattering news machine
symbolizes the Goldwater effort
to stay on top of what is going
on, to have a ready comment for
reporters on the latest develop
ment for today s edition when
the news is breaking, and to
maintain his current status as
the front runner.
Good Press No Accident
For while Barry Morris Gold-
water won't admit that he is a
prcsidental contender, he is get
ting the best press probably ever
accorded a junior senator from
a state that only ranks 35th in
population in the whole nation.

accident of Goldwater's person
ality, his singular appeal for
staunch conservatives or his
slashing jibes at the Kennedy
administration.
Not satisfied with his own
natural ability to articulate,
Goldwater has recruited a staff
of professionals in the art of
communication, all ex-newspa
permen, to help keep his band
wagon rolling in the right direc
tion.
"We don't have a lawyer on
our staff," said Theodore J.
Kazy, Goldwater's administra
tive assistant.
Kazy, 34, is a 1952 graduate of
the University of Arizona school
of journalism. After graduation,
he worked as a sports and lea
ture writer on the Arizona Re
public, the conservative Phoenix
daily newspaper. Goldwater
hired him in 1959 to fill a staff
vacancy and three months later
made Kazy his No. 1 aide.
"I'd never been active in pol
itics before," Kazy said, "and
now I'm right in the middle of
it."
No. 2 man is Tony S. Smith
Goldwater's press secretary for
the past three years. Smith is
a veteran of more years in
Washington than the Senator.
He went from a wire service re
porting job in Pennsylvania to
the Washington bureau of
Scripps-Howard for the Pitts
burgh Press, where he became
acquainted with the late Rep.
Richard Simpson (R-Pa.), who
headed the GOP congressional
campaign committee. Smith
went to work for that campaign
organizaton, from which he
moved to Goldwater's office.
Another Reporter Hired
Last week Goldwater hired
another ex-reporter, William
Flythe, who worked on the now
defunct Washington Times
Herald before its sale to the
Washington Post. Flythe, who
is Smith's assistant, also work
ed for the GOP campaign com
mittee. The task of writing most of
Goldwater's prepared speeches
falls mainly on Smith. The same
is true of writing the three-timcs-weekly
Barry Goldwater
column which has been syndic
ated by the Los Angeles Times
since 1959.
The column is purchased by
an average of 175 newspapers,
Smith said, and the last weekly
report from the syndicate show
ed 11 new clients trying it and
one dropping it. But when, and
it, the senator throws his hat
formally into the ring, the syn
dicate plans to drop the column,
Smith said.
Smith maintains that the
column and the speeches "all
come out of this office." mean
ing they aren't ghost-written by
outsiders, and that they are the
net product of Goldwater's
thoughts and convictions, which
he dicates on a home dictaphone
in spare moments or expresses
to his aides in office confer
ences. By now Smith is skilled
in the art needed by an aspiring
national politican, the art of
fashioning words and phrases
that give their man's ideas
punch and political appeal.
In a prepared speech on the
nuclear test ban treaty, for ex
ample, Goldwater said:
"In favor of it, after all is
said and done, is a hope, usually
described as a faint glimmer,
that this may be the first step
toward easing tension in the
world. It is difficult, if not im
possible, to argue with a hope.
It is an emotional thing and
arguments appear harsh in its
soft gentle glow. The more fra
gile an illusion the more rude
must seen the attempts to shat
ter it."
And talking to a GOP group
in New Jersey Goldwater spoke
of the growth of the party as a
"truely national party," due to
its gains in the South.
"On the other hand there is
the declining vitality of that
strangest creature in all poli
tics, the mutation that has re
sulted from the marriage of
big-city Democrat political boss
es to ivory tower Democrat so
cial reformers. Evolution, don't
forget, works two ways. While
the dinosaurs were dying, high
er forms were breathing new
life. And in all American politics
there is no more dinosaur-like
creature than the big city ma
chine of the Democrats."
Measured By Mailbags
A measure of Goldwater's ap
peal, beyond the rising popular
ity ratings he gets from public
opinion polls, lies in the mail
bags which are carried into his
office daily. Kazy said the sen
ator received 12,000 letters on
the test ban treaty, 90 per cent
against it, and over 1,000 tele
grams, only 16 of which urged
him to support it. An average
day's mail is 500 to 600 letters,
Kazy estimated.
Goldwater, in short, has moun
tains of daily evidence that he
speaks for thousands of Ameri
cans, assurances that he is right
on the issues, and plans to try
for the presidency.
A visit to his command post,
where the news ticker chatters
out the details of the world's
troubles and where the skills of
communication and public rela-1 evident that it is only a matter water from openly declaring his
tions savvy appear to have the of awaiting the most appropriate intention not to disappoint his
highest priority, makes it seem time that deters Barry Gold-1 followers in 1964.
