BONN (MP)-Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer agreed yesterday the West should pursue its diplo-
matic probe in Moscow to see if talks on Berlin are possible.
Agreement between the British and West German leaders was
announced in a joint communique after daylong talks. It was reached
despite Adenauer's comment Monday night he could not see that
that the probe in Moscow was getting anywhere.
In their first meeting in nearly a year, the two reaffirmed a de-

COMMUNISM:
Pentagon Group .To View
Military Indoctrination
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Defense Department set up a special
study and advisory committee yesterday to provide guidance in in-
doctrinating military personnel against Communism.
Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC), who has accused the Pentagon of
censorship and muzzling military leaders wanting to speak out against
Communism, promptly termed formation of the committee an admis-
sion of shortcomings.,
A special Senate subcommittee will open hearings Jan. 23 on
Thurmond's charges.
'Hurry-Up' Effort
Noting this, a Defense Department spokesman said the new group
is not a "hurry-up" effort to act before the hearings begin. "We share
with the committee the same con-
Pollock Hits
Romney Plan
The Romney reapportionment
plan is a "justification of the
status quo," Prof. James K. Pol-
lock (R-Ann Arbor) of the poli-
tical science department, delegate
to the constitutional convention,
charged Monday.
Speaking before a meeting of
the AFL-CIO's Committee of Po-
litical Education, Prof. Pollock at-
tacked the "sparsity" factor in the
formula presented by George Rom-
ney (R-Bloomfield) to the con-
vention. This provision guaran-
tees Senate seats to outstate and
northern counties even if their
population is slight compared to
the urban areas.
"The sparsity formula is good
advertising language, but I can't
go for it. It is not a compromise,"
Prof. Pollock declared.
cern" it has in this field, he said.
Thurmond saw it differently,
saying in a statement:
"In view of the forthcoming in-
vestigation-the facts for which
have already been assembled for
the most part-I am not surprised
that the Defense Department now
proposes to establish a study com-
mittee.
Hope for Results
"I sincerely hope that the com-
mittee's action will result in, im-
provements which have been vital-
ly needed for scome time. A study
committee is, of course, a standard
bureaucratic response to publicized
revelations of shortcomings."
The committee will hold their
first meeting Jan. 20 at the Pen-
tagon, with monthly meetings ex-
pected after that. Appointment of
a staff director, probably a mili-
tary man, and a paid staff is plan-
ned.
The committee's activities can
cover the entire range of subjects
involved in troop information and
education, not just indoctrination
against Communism.

At Sukarno Place
JAKARTA OP)-The question of
war or peace with the Netherlands
over Dutch New Guinea will be
decided by President Sukarno
"within a week or 10 days," In-
donesia's foreign minister said
yesterday.'
But in the meantime, govern-
ment sources said, Indonesia
would not object if United Na-
tions Acting Secretary-General U
Thant moved to get negotiations
started and sat in on the talks or
designated Thailand and the Phil-
ippines to participate.
Sukarno's delay in reaching a
decision on war or peace was made
known as United States Ambas-
sador Howard P. Jones called on
him at Merdeka Palace in an ap-
parent effort to calm down the
belligerent tone sounded by the
Indonesian president on a four-
day speechmaking tour of South
Celebes.
Grenade Tossed
Jones accompanied Skarno on
the tour, during which a grenade
was tossed at the presidential mo-
torcade Sunday.
Sukarno said "Dutch hench-
men" were behind this fourth at-
tempt on his life in four years.
He escaped injury, but 4 persons
were reported killed and 27 in-
jured.
Foreign Minister Subandrio told
reporters after a meeting of the
national defense council that
"within one week or 10 days we
will have arrived at a conclusion,
and will have the certainty wheth-
er steps in the diplomatic field
with the Dutch can be of help in
solving the West Irian (New Gui-
nea) issue."
'Vague Attitude'
Because of the "vague attitude
of the Dutch," he said, there was
no' sign yet that diplomatic ef-
forts would solve the dispute.
Since independence in 1949, the
Indonesians have been contending
that Dutch New Guinea should be
turned over to them. The Neth-
erlands contends the territory is
not properly part of Indonesia
and that the native Papuans are
not Indonesians.
Three weeksago Sukarno order-
ed his forces to be ready at any
time to invade the jungles and
swamps and take them by force.
His delay in actually ordering an
invasion, however, is believed to
have the purpose of giving inter-
ested outside parties an opportun-
ity to bring Indonesia and the
Netherlands together for talks.
Departure from Stand
The report by government
sources that Indonesia would agree
to Thant sitting in on negotia-
tions was a departure from the
previous stress on bilateral talks.
The Dutch already have said they
would prefer having the negotia-
tions in an international frame-
work involving either the United
Nations or individual outside na-
tions.
Apparently, however, the Indo-
nesians were prepared to accept a
move by Thant only if the diplo-
matic situation justifies it. Gov-
ernment sources did not spell out
this condition, but heretofore Su-
karno has' insisted that the Neth-
erlands agree beforehand to In-
donesian administration of the
territory.
Hare Denies Plans'
For Primary Race
LANSING (R) - Secretary of
State James M. Hare said yester-
day he has no intention of op-
posing Gov. John B. Swainson in
a Democratic gubernatorial pri-
mary election this year. Hare, who
lost the Democratic nomination
for governor to Swainson in a 1960
primary, said "you won't find any-
one running against the.Governor
in the primary this year."
the freedom and viability of West
Berlin."
No Mention
The communique made no men-
tion of tactics to be adopted should
the Moscow effort fail. British of-
ficials in London had reported
Macmillan was bringing to Bonn
a new United States-British idea
to settle for a status quo agree-
ment, even if only implicit, should
the probe fail.
The communique disclosed that
Adenauer offered aid to Britain in
meeting the financial burden of
maintaining the British Army of
the Rhine. It did not disclose the
amount of aid but said it would
include "additional purchase of
arms in the United Kingdom on a
considerable scale."
The final details of financial
aid will be worked out by a com-
mittee representing both coun-
tries.
Broad Agreement
West G e r m a n government
spokesman Felix von Eckardt said
the two leaders had agreed broad-
ly on the final amount of aid but
declined to give figures.
Informed sources said the aid
would be continued as long as
Britain kept its army in Germany.
The financial drain on Britain
from maintaining the Rhine Army
has been a sore point between the
two nations. The agreement was
in line with Adenauer's announced
intention to try to strengthen al-
lied unity.
Stern Claims
'Money Pool'
Significant Aid
By JEAN TENANDER
The 'money pool' announced
Monday by the International Mon-
etary Fund has been pronounced
"very significant" by Prof. Rob-
ert Stern of the economics depart-
ment.
Although Prof. Stern said it
could not be regarded as a "pan-
ecea for all world financial prob-
lems," he felt it would definitely
serve a function exceeding the
capabilities of the present pool.
The new lending agreement is
composed of ten industrial coun-
tries including the United States.
These member nations will be able
to make use of the currency when
they are troubled by a serious
problem in their balance of pay-
ments. Commitments to the fund
will be equal to $6 billion, $2 bil-
lion of which wil be contributed
by the United States.
The pool will be more important
than the existing arrangement be-
cause it is designed to deal with
short term money movements be-
tween industrially developed coun-
tries, Prof. Stern said. It can an-
swer the type of problem most
frequently arising in the countries
of Western Europe, the United
States and Japan.
The advantage to the United
States of such a large pool of
available money, Prof. Stern ex-
plained, is that with these funds
the U.S. will be able to buy up
dolars foreign banks are selling
during periods of low interest
rates in this country. By having a
large supply of foreign monies
available, serious pressures on the
American dollar and balance of
payments can be averted.
Bonn Rejects
Soviet Tactic
On, New Talks
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Nikita Khrushchev, choosing a
time when West Germany is being
asked by her allies to do consider-
able soul searching, thought he
could throw a monkey wrench in-
to the act, but got his ears pinned
back instead.
Khrushchev, not very precisely,
apparently w'as trying to leave the
impression in Germany that if
Bonn would enter into unilateral
negotiations for disarmament and
neutralization there might be a
chance for German reunification.
The strange, indirect memoran-
dum handed to the German am-
bassador in Moscow was obviously
designed to stir up trouble on the
eve of renewed British-American
proposals to German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer that West Ger-
many should soft pedal the re-
unification issue for a time to re-
duce European crisis.
The West Germans teach from
maps showing the "real Germany"
as unchanged from 1939, with
shaded areas showing Communist
occupation in East Germany and
the lands awarded by Russia to
Poland.
For Germans to grow up think-
ing that history will absolve them
of all payment for their Nazi mis-
takes is to be unrealistic, and
gives the Russians a certain basis
for hiding their acquisitive intent
behind a facade of pretended fear.
It keeps alive in Eastern Europe
and the Balkans the very real fear
which all these countries have of
German reunification.
A temporary acceptance of the
status quo is, then, something
which, if West Germany agrees,
the West can offer in the belief
that the Soviet Union would like a
way out of the Berlin crises.
The manner of Economics Min-
ister Ludwig Erhard in Washing-
ton ,and of Adenauer's reception
of British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan in Bonn, suggests that
there is no grave holdback on
Germany's part regarding an at-
tempt to create a less dangerous
atmosphere at this time, provided
the door is kept wide open for so-
lutions later.
At the same time, Khrushchev's
vague attempt to bait Bonn with
false hopes about reunification
and promises of valuable trade has
drawn nothing officially but horse
laughs. Whether the lure is suf-
ficient to influence less steadfast
elements among Adenauer's poli-
tical opponents and among the
German people remains to be seen.
U.S. Reports
Jobless Rise
WASHINGTON (lP)-The Labor
Department reported yesterday
that the tight job situation, while
improving, has discouraged a lot
of people from seeking work.
Secretary of Labor Arthur J.
Goldberg said at a news confer-
ence that employment declined by
882,000 in December to 66.5 mil-
lion, and unemployment increased
by 100,000 to 4 million.
Press Seeks
Red Official
VIENNA (M-Th whereabouts
of V. M. Molotov remains a mys-
tery.
Not even the Soviet Foreign
Ministry seemed to know where
he is.
That agency announced Mon-
day Molotov was resuming his
post as permanent Soviet repre-
sentative to the International
Atomic Energy Agency in Vien-
na and probably left Saturday.
No Trace
If he left Moscow Saturday, he
should have arrived here Monday.
Reporters a n d photographers
meeting trains and planes for the
last two days caught no trace
of him, however. Austrian police
said there was no chance he might
have crossed into Austria without
their knowledge. He would have
to show his passport like anybody
else.
Adding to the puzzlement, the
Soviet Foreign Ministry in Mos-
cow had two answers yesterday to
questions about its first report that
Molotov supposedly left Saturday.
One was that he would be leav-
ing next Friday or Saturday. The
other was that further investi-
gation was required and reporters
would have to call back today.
Buys Ticket
Unofficial Soviet sources in Mos-
cow said Molotov had bought a
ticket for the train that left Sat-
urday and the Foreign Ministry
reaffirmed that the old Stalinist
definitely was coming back to
Vienna-an announcement that
caught Soviet officials at the
Atoms-for-Peace Agency by sur-
prise.
If he made a stopover after
leaving Moscow, it would seem
likely to be in the Soviet Union it-
self.
Ever since Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev bitterly denounced
him and his colleagues of the anti-
party group at the 22nd Soviet
Party Congress in Moscow last
October, it was generally assumed
Molotov was on his final skid. He
was removed from his high post in
1957.
V. M. MOLOTOV
. .missing official
V. M. Molotov's return to his
diplomatic post in Vienna suggests
that Russian Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev has been overruled in
Moscow.
It indicates that the collective
'leadership of the party, touched
upon in Khrushchev's speeches to
the twenty-second Party Congress
last October, is a reality and that
Khrushchev is a sort of chairman
of the board.
By all the portents, Khrushchev
wanted Molotov and other mem-
bers of the antiparty group who
tried to overthrow him, including
Georgi Malenkov and Lazar M.
Kaganovich, placed on trial and
publicly expelled from the party.
Forgot Duty
In one speech at the Congress,
Khrushchev denounced Stalin's
closest associates as men who for-
got they had a duty to carry out
the party's will. "There is no room
for such 'leaders' either in the
party or the state apparatus," he
said.
Apparently Molotov remains in
the party. He hardly could be re-
assigned to his Vienna post, how-
ever powerless it is, if he had been
thrown out in disgrace from the
ruling Soviet Party.
There was other evidence that
Khrushchev wanted Molotov and
company publicly degraded and
expelled. One indication came soon
after the Moscow Congress.
Gromyko Talk
Reporting on the Congress to
his own Polish Communists, Wlad-
yslaw Gomulka said there was no
intention of bringing Molotov and
the others to trial and making
them criminally responsible for
deeds ascribed to the era of Stal-
in's "cult of personality."
This speech was reported in the
official Soviet Party newspaper
Pravda. But the line about there
being no intention to try the an-
tiparty group was edited out of
the Pravda account.
Probably there was strong oppo-
sition in world Communism's ranks
to any new show trials such as
Stalin staged against his real orj
imagined enemies, even if such
trials did not end in bloodletting.
Khrushchev himself, while appar-
ently plumping for expulsion of
his opponents, went out of his way
to promise there would be no more
Stalinesque blood purges.
Hot for Kremlin
There is a possibility, also, that
Molotov returned to his job be-
cause a public trial could have
made things hot for the Kremlin
leadership.
Molotov, as the record shows,
gave little sign of backtracking on
his own ideas of how Communism
should have developed after Stal-
in. He did not vote against him-
self in the Central Committee, as
the others did and were expected
to do, and he did not repent, as
the others apparently had done.
Molotov is a man who knows
where the body is buried.
A public trial could prove em-
barrassing to the Soviet leader-
ship. Molotov, of no mind to re-
main silent in the face of the at-
tack against all he had stood for
during the years of the revolution,
civil war and development of the
Soviet state, could really have
spilled the beans.
Perhaps, so far as the Kremlin
was concerned, it was just as well
that Molotov should remain in the
party and in an honorary posi-
tion where, as his part of the bar-
gain, he could remain silent about
such things, for example, as the
part Khrushchev had played in the
Stalin excesses.
Power Los S
HitsGizenga
LEOPOLDVILLE (R)') - Antoine
Gizenga's most influential party
colleagues walked out on him yes-
terday, further splitting the sup-
port that once made him a power
as the head of the Communist-
endorsed regime at Stanleyville.
The self-proclaimed political
heir to former Premier Patrice
Lumumba already faced the pos-
sibility of ouster from his job as
deputy premier in the central gov-
ernment and possible arrest as a
result of a demand by The Congo
Parliament Monday that he re-
turn to Leopoldville today to de-
fend himself against charges of
secession.
Felicien Kimvay, announced the
defection of the strongest wing of
Lumumba's former political move-
ment, the African Solidarity Par-
ty.
Kimvay, vice-president of the
party, said Gizenga no longer is
president of the party because he
in effect resigned to accept lead-
ership of another movement.
A smaller extremist wing of the
African Solidarity Party stuck by
Gizenga, however. This small bloc
accused the party leadership of
"tribalism and terrorism" and sin-
gled out Kimvay and Cleophas
Kamitau, influential president of
Leopoldville Province, for criti-
cism.
Gizenga's position has steadily
deteriorated since last summer
when parliament finally met and
confirmed Premier Cyrille Adoula
as head of a unified government.
