Reds Glad Adenauer Is Retirinq MOSCOW (UPI) - A sigh of relief will come out of the Krem lin next month when Konrad Ade nauer steps down as West German chancellor to be replaced by Dr. Ludwig Erhard whom the Rus sians consider relatively more realistic and flexible. 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 occasion ally to former West German War Minister Josef Strauss. The Soviet villification of Ade nauer leached such extremes as branding him "another Hitler" and questioning his sanity. It has been long felt and said here that prospects of improve ment in Soviet-German relations and East-West relations generally were virtually nil during Ade nauer's tenure of office. .Soviets Waiting, Watching By contrast, Soviet officialdom has been extremely cautious with regard to chancellor-designate Er hard. The Russians are following their customary practice of "watchful waiting" until the new leader takes office and they can assess his policies and intentions. No official expression of opin ion on Erhard may be expected until sometime after he has as sumed his new responsibilities. Meantime the Kremlin has prac ticed a measure of "quiet diplo macy," and tried to reach Er- hard's ear indirectly. Only a day after his return from Yugoslavia this month Premier Nikita Khru shchev quickly arranged to re ceive Thomas Dehler, visiting German vice president of the Free Democratic party and vice chairman of the Bundestag. Obviously aware that Dehler would report to Erhard without delay, Khrushchev and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko brief ed him fully on the current So viet stance on Germany. Western Interests Expand Similarly, earlier this summer Khrushchev rolled out his plush est red carpet for West German industrial statesman Hans Boitz, the so-called ambassador plenipo tentiary of the powerful Krupp interests. Bcitzs visit here re sulted in an expanded agreement for the construction of Krupp chemical plants in the Soviet Un ion and was followed by the es tablishment of the first post-war private West German commercial office in Moscow While the political Soviet-Ger man debate has continued una bated in bitterness, commercial relations have improved stead ily of lale. As witnessed by the conclusion of a $200 million agree ment for the construction in Kiel of fishing vessels for the Soviet Union. Although the Russians cling to the classical Marxist view that social and economic realities rather than personalities deter mine the course of history, they do not entirely disregard the role of individuals in shaping events. They 1iave not tended to ignore Adenauer's personality and ap pear to be pinning some hope on tlie prospective new West Ger man 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 differ-, once in the quality of Soviet-Ger man relations.

UPI Telephoto Viet Nam Leader Faced By COL. RAY CROMI.EY Newspaper Enterprise Military Analyst WASHINGTON NEA - One of the surprises of the South Viet Nam guerrilla war is that North Viet Nam hasn'tt aken advantage of the Diem-Nhu-Buddhist fight to launch decisive guerrilla attacks in the South. Reports now filtering out of North Viet Nam make the an swer clear. Red Dictator Ho Chi Minh has a crisis of his own. Ho is sympathetic to Russia's Nikita Khrushchev in the fight with Red China's Mao Tse-tung. But he is dependent on military iad from Mao. Ho's North Viet Nam is wracked by a continuing food shortage. It has taken most of the government's efforts to cope with it, and it has been handled very poorly. Food sotccks are at low levels. The last good harvest was in 1959. The 19B0, '61 and 'IB har vests were bad. The early 1963 harvest has been extremely poor. Js-r cao? lAO KAY AHG 1 . HANOI Jjjyp SIEN NIMH tINH U NORTH I "ILES I Apong 1 0 100 1 yH01 "-VEX '! SOUTHEAST (L-) SOUTH (0 Small College Thrives On Student NEW YORK (UPI) On a small college campus in north western Illinois, permission was granted one day to a co-ed to bring her goldfish bowl to the gymnasium examination center. A male student brought his in spirational painting to the same exam because he "couldn't be without it." And in dozens of oilier ways from the serving of beef stroganoff and charcoal- broiled steaks on campus menus to a faculty that has not asked (or a raise in almost ten years small 1280 students) Shimer College of Mount Carroll, III., has built an extraordinay repu tation. , A high school diploma is not a requirement for admission to Shimer and students who have tailed at other colleges also may be admitted. Y'et this four-year, fully-accredited institution (it grants a bach elor's degree) is not lacking in education qualification. Not all of its professors hold degrees themselves, but the old county seat town of Mount Car roll boasts a "community of scholars" where intellectual in- quirey is mast stressed. Dr. F. J. Mullin, a university of Chicago-oriented educator who has been president of Shimer since 1954, believes that ' Individ ualitv should be allowed to ':e its course. On a trip to New York. Dr Mullin said Shimer's goal is that all of its students, regardless of future field of specialization should have a basic understand ing of the humanities, social sci ences and the natural sciences the three major areas of human knowledge. Too early specialization in one area leads to neglect in others, Dr. Mullin said Many physicians he said are "not as well-educated as many of their patients." Sperlnl Sciences Important Dr. Mullin said that he did not 0 . This fall's harvest will be anoth er bad one. So food reserves arc at a critical point. The outlook is bleak. Rations, already very small, are expect ed to be cut further. Deaths from starvation are high. Ho has taken a series of re medial measures, some intelli gent, some desperate. But they have not worked satisfactorily. The ogvernment has construct ed ambitious irrigation systems, developed new agricultural land the foothills. Thousands of peasants have been pressed into compulsory "volunteer labor, Workers on the collectives have been told they can cultivate pri vate plots on the side and sell what they raise for whatever they can get. Collectives have been told they will be paid higher prices for what they produce above tho norm Meanwhile, "better" agricultural machinery has been manufactur ed and supplied to the co-opera tives. Factories, offices, schools and barracks have been ordered to grow food on land around their buildings. Further, each city work er has been ordered to produce 22 pounds of food. That amount has been deducted from his ra tions. In one last esperate step early this year, most of North Vict Nam's high agriculture of ficials were fired. The net result: cultivated acre age has increased radically, but output has failed to gain. The population, however, continues to grow by 3'i per cent a year Unlike Communist China, North Viet Nam does not have the funds to buy food on the world's mark et. Indistrialization is limited and its growth has been slow. Foreign exchange income is insignificant. North Viet Nam began as a food-short country. But experts Individuality want to "de-emphasize" the teaching of science and other highly-trained skills but simply wanted to point out that speciali zation should never be at the ex pense of the social sciences. The early entre program at Shimer is designed for students who can demonstrate (by college entrance board examination) that they are "ready" for college be fore completion of four years of high school he said. The most important function of a college today is to give pur pose and meaning to life, he said. "In so doing it should im part knowledge imaginatively and consider seriously the significant problems of the age. It should impress upon the student Die worth of a rigorous intellectual approach which seeks rational answers to man's difficulties.

Damage With Crisis say that the basic problem is that Ho's advisers were Red Chi nese. They pushed through the Chinese system of collectives which killed peasant ambition. The government decided to build industry by squeezing the money from agriculture. Officials forced the peasants to sell their products to the government at low prices. The peasants quietly revolted, cut back production and hid pro duce. They have, in effect, bn carrying out slow but efficient sabotage. 1 'f . -!

He figured out a method to repair hydraulic system pump compon ents which the airline in the past had been throwing away. At last accounting, this little idea had saved United $94,957 which earned young Mr. Williams $9495. The case of Willie Williams is cited as an example of a grow ing U.

Harrah, the acknowledged king of the casinos, lives in a world of superlatives. He demands the finest, tlie biggest, the fastest, the most. If it isn't the best, he doesn't want it. This tall, slender, taciturn man applies this expensive philosophy to his business, and it has lifted him from a small-time bingo and card game operator to czar of chance in Nevada's wide open gambling industry. Ask him if he hauls $40 million a year to the bank from his glittering pleasure palaces at Reno and Lake Tahoe and he'll reply, "could be." He employs the largest work force in the state and spends millions for the iworld's largest restored automo bile collection, his racing cars and boats, and lavish entertain ment and promotion policies. Harrah, 52, once studied me chanical engineering at the Uni versity of California at Los Angeles. He quit and went to work (or his father who was op erating a "circle game," a game of chance similar to blackjack at Venice, Calif. Takes Over Game "The place wasn't doing too well." he recalls. "Dad wanted to close it, but I talked him into selling it to me." He soon had the club in the black, but it was closed periodi cally by the authorities since cir cle games were only "semi-legal." He migrated to Reno where the law gave stability to gaming In 1937 he opened a bingo game and within a few years became one of the top operators on ca sino row." But it was in 1955, when he set up shop at Lake Ta hoe, that business really boomed. Lake Tahoe had been a resort last year about 200 U. S. corpor ations saved more than $160 mil lion from ideas supplied by work ers. United's own reward system is fairly typical. It began a sugges tion program in 1940, paying back to employes 10 per cent of the estimated amount their ideas would save per year. The program was modest at the start. United "bought" 275 ideas which saved $44,6.10 that first year. The company now Is processing nearly 10,000 sugges tions a year, with one out of four accepted. Last year, UAL's sav ings from employe ideas amount ed to nearly $900,000. Some of the suggestions are in geniousboth in conception and in simplicity. For example, UAL's DCB's are required to re lease oxygen masks automatical ly in case of pressurization fail ure. United was testing the re lease mechanisms in actual flight because technicians said it was Accidents vering to get outlt of a parking space, bumped a small foreign car behind him.

Harrah noted the seasonal operations did well and seized the opportunity to buy one which nestled against the Cal: ifornia border, only a short drive from the heavily populated Sart Francisco Bay area. He applied Reno-style operat: ing methods to his new enterprise which in 1958 expanded into a new complex he proudly calls the finest and mo.-t luxurious casino in the world. "We had no idea of getting as big as we are," Harrah says. "We get lucky once in a while." Builds New Hotel Harrah recently announced plans to build a 23-story hotel ad jacent to his present plant. Oth ers are expanding or building new operations, and the once sleepy south shore is becoming one of the country's most popu lar pleasure spots. Harrah has spent a fortune on research to determine how to at tract customers and make them return. They are treated to neat attention-getting gimmicks such as colorfully uniformed, white gloved janitors sweeping up lit ter or wiping smudges from gleaming slot machines. In Reno, a plush carpeted pathway spans an alley between his two casinos, air curtains replace conventional doors, and passersby can hear the clink of silver dollars, the clat ter of slot machines and the dice dealers crying "it's a winner." "People generally are good and they gamble for the fun of it," he said. "I would say 99.9 per cent of them don't figure to win but they want a good time and hope they'll get lucky and pay for their trip." "It isn't fun to lose too much, though, and everyone should ad just himself to his own level of what he can afford to spend.",. impossible to stimulate prcssuri zation drops on the ground. A mechanic named J. H. North- ' rup came up with another idea. He took a one-quart tin can, some sealing compound, n vaccuum pump and a few fittings, hooked them up to the release mechan ism and re-created reduced pres surization. A Federal Aviation Agency test showed that the rude but effective device reproduced altitude conditions within 100 feet. Savings to United: $5,000 a year. Northrup's award: $505. Lead mechanic R. A. Hawkins heard a supervisor commenting one day on the time-consuming process of calibrating jet com passes. Planes had to be taxied to widely - separaled, predcter-' mined positions on the ramp. Hawkins simply drew a large circle with the proper compass points marked at each cheek po; sition. The idea saved the airline 15,000 gallons of jet fuel eacff year plus 400 man hours formerly- spent in taxiing the planes. Hawk ins got a check for $645. E. F. Piper, who supervises United's suggestion program,, says its primary goal is to cek employes to think about their jobs.
