Ths general feel ing ' among most 'American who : have traveled in Germany in recent years,' including wrijers for this N newspaper, "is that the 'foremost ; wish among the great majority' of ; fifty million West Germans is for reunification. :$!. -! This desire is so strong that it could conceivably' affect the ac-, - tions?:otj thp-'new sovereign nation in any ;f ield. The underlying dfcn ger $)-the jwestern democracies is that thp desire for eu.nificatipn with EastGermajiy will become; so strong among West, Germans that they will be willing to forego their obligations to the Paris Pact na tions as far as the alliance against aggression is concerned.; At present, and as long as Chan cellor Adenauer is alive, that' dan ger seems to be only a theoretical one. But Adenauer is, an old man. Even among West Germans talk is increasing, that the Chancellor . is too; old.". -' Many Germans can never forget that- President Hindenberg, at the time too old, finally asked Hitler to become Chancellor,, though at , an earlier' age- he would have been active-enough, turn the tide against ther Bavarian1 corporal. Hindenberg was then in declining health; he died shortly afterward. 'When Adenauer is gone, will West Germany remain determined to stick to its alliance with the West in spite of Communist bait of reunification in '.return for neu trality? That is a good question spotlighted by the Russian prop aganda campaign concerning Aus tria.: The Russians have moved quickly to give Austria independ ence in an effort to show Germans what might' come their way if neu trality is the pfficial policy of a re united Germany. It is tempting bait '' " Chancellor .., Adenauer has urged foreign ministers 'df several west- In , England recent , polls have given the Conservatives a scare. The Labor Party is not as weak an was . anticipated. The split which almost tore the party into two wings was ' skillfully healed by Clement Attlee, and the wisdom of Attlee's' maneuver is becoming clearer every day. !' , ; ! The latest tests, indicate the gen eral, election - scheduled -for the 26th of this month will be a horse race, and the Conservatives ar$ not sure-shot winners by any means. P. T.

This is a big order. Yet it woold has announced. ' Plans to hold the Institute at East Carolina Colleee in Green- ICHIWUBIU) ... , , , be highly desirable.

But his chances in this try, are probably slight for that very reason. president Eisenhower, by stick ing to his not completely clear stand onthe Quemoy and Matsu islands, might be vindicated if a meeting between the Chinese Reds and the United States is arranged and the Formosa crisis settled without war. . x The President might be vindicat ed if that question is partly re solved in' a Big Four Meeting, which, however, isn't probable. Nevertheless, the genuine concern among many Americans', and many of our allies, has been lessened in recent days by indications that the Chinese Communists and the Unit- Engaged E i J r ,(! ij ' "7TmV?4o be processed,, for, technical r mKfVtt Wl"0Dl graduates year are engioie to appiy ior tne type of technical school they wish to go to before enlisting.'

' Literally nothing grows so high, wide and handsome. Their life may range from 40 to over 4,000 years. Numerous redwoods of California antedate the Chris tian era and they are still growing vigorously, ' according to the Na tional Arborist Association.

Probably not more than two or three dollars for a small tree, if we are willing to wait for it to grow, and from 25 dollars up ward for one that will provide im mediate shade, depending upon its age and size. The whole earth has been pros pected for trees that will grow in the United States. Some 850 dif ferent kinds now grow within our borders and . serve., us , in, manv ways. Dwarf trees have been de veloped in order that we.may pick delicious fruits without even using step ladder, or for landscaping the low, ranch-type home. .
