Germany Sides With Big Three By GEORGE BOI'LTWOOD BONN, Germany 11 The Unit ed Slates, Britain and France Hluncd n peace contract Monday with Western Germany and Uicn welcomed tholr former enemy as a "new partner In Uie fight for peace and freedom." Approximately 600 persons crowd ed Into Bundesralsaal chamber of the upper house of the German Parliament lo watch the 40 mlnule cerempny that marked a dramatic milestone in the unceas ing struggle between the Western Powers and the Soviet Union over Germany. There was little Jubilation over the signing In Western Germany, where all nine states of the West ern Federal Republic turned down a government request to close Uic schools, and make the day a holi day. PRINCIPALS . Seated ' In leather chairs at a grey, velvet draped table were British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman, U. 8. Secretary ol suite Dean Acheson and Wet German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer,"- -1 --.r . ""TOer"iWl"thelr signatures 20 times ' lo the document in the peace contract, aimed at bringing 48 million Germans west of the Iron Curtain into the Western community of nations on a basis of equality. But the ministers were careful to stress that Uie documents need final approval of their parliaments belore Uie contract can be more than a scrap of paper. A companion act ' the Euro pean Army treaty to be signed in Paris Tuesday needs similar rutlllcation. Tills would bring 400, 000 Germans Into a million-man, six-naUon army. SHADOW The shadow of a scowling Sovi et Union and Uie realizaUon Ihr.t their homeland remains divided gave Germans little lo cheer about. Thcro were predictions In the West German press that the con tract might be rejected by the French and Uie West Oeiman par liament, where Socialist opposition to slRiitng has been most bitter. After Uie ceremony the four min isters met with newspapermen and declared both the peace contract and the European treaty have the preservation of peace and free dom aa their alms. At times they appeared to be speaking directly to Moscow when they declared their unanimous goal was to unite all Germany by peace ful means. Moscow has charged that the West Is sealing division of Ger many and sowing the seeds of World War III. UNHArPY FACT' Acheson said "the unhappy fact Is that Germany Is still divided. "The United States regrets deep ly the absence of those parts of Germany in the east. It would bave been a Joyful feeling if they were represented hero.' He said that since the war the Western powers had worked to es tablish freedom throughout Ger many. "The goal will not have been reached until there Is German uni ty in freedom and the United States will continue to work along this line," he added. Safecracking Suspect Held Bennle Gene Brlmage, 17-year-old Bakersfleld, Calif., boy, Is held In the County Jail on a charge of burglary, not in a dwelling, in connection with a safecracking at the Minneapolls-Mollne Imple ment Company office last Oct, 13. He was brought here over . the weekend by Deputy Sheriff Dal Reed from Bakorsfleld, where U10 youth had been held In a Juvenile home. Reed said the boy admitted he and a man, Gerald E. Simpson, broke Into tho company office and trucked away the safe. They peeled otf Uie bottom of tho heavy box and took approxl mutely $1700. Brlmage said he bought n car with his part of the monoy but couldn't koep up Uie payments nnd the car was repos sessed. The safe was dumped In a field on the C. J. Gober ranch near Hagcr after the robbery. Simpson Is now serving a term In an Adult Authority camp. In California.
