KOEHLER Yy Associated Press News Analyst" BONN - The question of when Konrad Adenauer should retire and who should succeed him is shaping more and more into a serious political dilemma for West Germany. The question has been publicly debated off and on since 1959' when the chancellor said he would retire to run. for the more cere- monial job of President, then changed his mind because of the ensuing feud over a successor. When Adenauer's Christian Democratic Party lost its parlia- mentary majority last fall, Ade- nauer said he would retire in time to give his successor a chance to learn the job before 1965's gen- eral elections. After this conces- sion the Free Democrats joined a coalition that , elected Adenauer for a fourth term. Now the question has again be- come a hot issue. Threatens Withdrawal Erich Mende, head of the Free Democrats, has threatened to take his party out of the coalition un- less the 86-year-old chancellor resigns in the fall of next year. Mende insists that his threat be taken seriously even though it was made in Schleswig-Holstein] Province, where his party is fight-3 ing to keep its three seats in the legislature. "He can't attack governmenti policy because his party has a3 hand in making it, so he hacks] away at the old man," said one m... GERHARD SCHROEDER ... too clever? hues, says the question of retire- ment and successor will be settled "calmly but also firmly." Horsetrading But many bets have been made in Bonn-among politicians and government officials-that Ade- nauer, unless illness prevents him, will say again "you don't change horses in midstream" and an- nounce his candidacy for yet an- other four-year term. The men most.logically in line for the chancellorship refrain from pushing themselves into the lime- light. Vice-Chancellor and Economics Minister Ludvig Erhard, 65,' still is the Christian Democrat Party's choice but Adenauer has many times indicated that he felt the father of what is called Germany's economic miracle lacks the poli- tical ability to be chancellor. Tough Defense Minister Franz- JosefhStrauss, whose aspirations for the top job have long been an open secret, appears to have lost support since he was accused and exonerated of misusing his office fsor financial gain. Too Clever The young and energetic foreign minister, Gerhard Schroeder, whose pragmatic handling of Bonn's foreign policy has won him orchids from even the socialists, is in the running. But, his friends point out, he is too clever to make any public utterances about pos- sible chancellor ambitions. Another possibility is 67-year- old Heinrich Krone, minister with- out portfolio and former parlia- mentary majority leader. Krone, affectionally known by party cronies as "papa," has long been one of Adenauer's closest confi- dents. They will all tread softly, be- To Negotiate New Tariffs, Adjustments To Protect Interests Of Commonwealth WASHINGTON (P)-The Unit- ed States is quietly putting some of its weight behind British Com- monwealth efforts to lower Euro- pean Common Market tariffs. The maneuver, authorities said here yesterday, is clearly in this country's worldwide trade interests and a simple projection of stand- ard United States policy toward the market, which Britain wants to join. In essence, the United States has been telling leaders of the Commonwealth and six Common Market countries that tariff re- ductions made in connection with Britain's proposed membership will be given full credit by the United -States when it negotiates its own tariff arrangements with the Market. Boost Trade The American objective in such future negotiations will be to re- duce trade barriers to the lowest possible levels to promote the larg- est possible volume of free world commerce. According to the new projection of this policy the ultimate purpose will be served if the British-mar- ket negotiations make tariff cuts even before the United States- Market negotiations begin. The United States took this po- sition, informants said, because it was being accused of getting a "free ride" on concessions nego- tiated by Britain. It strongly sup- ports thedevelopmentofhclose British economic and other ties with the European continent. Work Out Problem The British finally applied for ECM membership with the under- standing it would work out ar- rangements to protect interests of the commonwealth countries. The commonwealth countries have traditionally enjoyed special trade rights with Britain. If the enlarged Common Mar- ket has reduced tariffs applicable to all seven countries, the Com- monwealth nations may feel com- pensated for their loss of prefer- ential positions in the British market. A cut negotiated by one country is allowed for all other countries; that was what caused marketing officials to say that the United States was getting a "free ride." May Inspire New Quarrel With Soviets TOKYO (P) - Red China turned its ideological guns on "modern revisionists" yesterday in what looked like a new round in its quarrel with the Soviet Union. The attack, broadcast by the Peiping Radio, coincided with similar blasts during the week by Communist Albania which follows the Red Chinese line. Quoting from the People's Daily Newspaper, Peiping Radio accused President Josip Tito of Yugoslavia of betraying Marxism-Leninism, consorting with "United States imperialists," and being a coun- ter-revolutionary. (The Soviet Union, however, ig- nored the charges, and reaffirmed its desire for closer ties with Yu- goslavia.) Middleman -Chinese Communist criticism of what Peiping considers weak So- viet policy has often been cloaked under attacks on the Yugoslav leader. Tito and "other revisionists" in- correctly assume the "predatory and aggressive nature of imperial- ism" has changed, the broadcast said. The Albanian Communist re- gime, in open disgrace with Mos- cow since last year, pulled no punches in broadcasts denouncing both Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev and Tito as revisionists. Call Names Radio Free Europe, which mon- itors satellite radios, said the Tir- ana Radio broadcast a two-page denunciation from the official Al- banian Communist Daily which said "Khrushchev's fine words about unity are nothing more than bluff and demagogy. "They are a mask behind which he seeks to win time for new, more dangerous steps against the unity of the socialist camp and the Communist movement." The Albanians attacked Khrush- chev for selling fighter planes to India and Tito for criticizing Red China. Peiping said that many of Tito's so-called revisionist remarks have insulted the "Soviet people" and "all the military men of the Soviet Union." Khrushchev and other So- viet leaders were not mentioned by name. By The Associated Press NEW DELHI-Skirmishing be- tween Indian and Chinese Com- munist troops continued yester- day along India's northeastern frontier with Tibet. An Indian spokesman said "there has been an intermittent exchange of fire since Friday morning" near the juncture of India and Tibet and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. A Red China broadcast said In- Senators See Approval Of Kennedy's Farm Bdill WASHINGTON (A) - Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), pre- dicted yesterday the Senate will chalk up another partial legislative victory for President John F. Kennedy next week by completing Con- gressional approval of a hard-fought farm bill. "It will be approved byda substantial margin," Humphrey, assist- ant Senate Democratic leader, told a reporter. "It contains at least two-thirds of the Administration's requests." Sen. Karl E. Mundt, (R-SD), one of the many GOP (, ua opponents of the controversial U ncontrolled' Imeasure, in a separate interview said, "it probably will squeak Spending Hit By Eisenhower COLUMBIA, S. C. (A') - For- mer President Dwight D. Eisen- hower charged here yesterday that "uncontrolled spending" by the Kennedy Administration is piling up debts that will burden three generations of Americans. Eisenhower noted that President John F. Kennedy cautioned in a talk at Harrisburg, Pa., several days ago against returning to "stagnation and inaction". under Republican rule. He defended his own adminis- tration as a progressive one, and said the only progress made under Kennedy has been "toward uncon- trolled spending and toward regi- mentation. The budget gets worse and worse." He added that living costs are rising, inflation has set in, and "our children and grandchildren will be paying debts we are now creating." The average American, he said, now works two and a half hours each day "just to meet his tax bill." Eisenhower conferred with GOP candidates from South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida before his brief talk. dian troops provoked a new clash Friday night after Indians and Chinese fought a sharp skirmish Thursday. Aggravates Chinese The broadcast said the Indians "fired more than 400 bullets, threw two hand grenades and fired two shells," compelling the Chinese to fire back. It said "continued arm- ed attack" by the Indians showed the situation "is tending toward further aggravation." I through as it did in the House. I 'Squeak Through' "The New Frontier is applying all possiblepressure aagin to try to save face," Mundt said. "There' still are a few minor judgeships' and patronage posts available for this adjournment-end effort." By a 202-197 margin, House leaders won passage Friday of the compromise plan for curbing mul- tibillion dollar government-held surpluses of wheat, corn and live- stock feed grains. That reversed House rejection earlier in the session of a Senate- approved bill which carried some of the stiffer controls urged by the President and Agriculture Secre- tary Orville L. Freeman. Stymie Freeman Many Republicans claim the New Frontier's proposals on wheat and corn for 1964 are so compli- cated and controversial that this should help GOP candidates, par- ticularly in the Midwest in the No- vember congressional elections. At a news conference yester- day, Indian Prime Minister Jawah- arlal Nehru replied that India cannot tolerate such intrusions. "We think they (the Chinese) have no business to be there. We cannot tolerate this kind of in- trusion. So far the trouble has been small, but there is always a danger of it getting bigger." Nehru said he hoped for a peaceful set- tlement of the border dispute. Other Battles The clash followed a military buildup by both sides in the two- mile-high area near a village known as Dhola, Tsedong or Che- dong. India says the village is in- side the Indian border while the Chinese claim it is in Tibet. The scene is 900 miles east of disput- ed Ladakh, another frontier trou- ble spot. In that area, Peiping Radio has accused Indian troops of menac- ing Chinese forces near Pancong Lake. There have been at least four reportedhclashes in Ladakh in the last two months. There was no sign of a break in the diplomatic deadlock over the border dispute. Differ on Talks The Chinese have proposed talks, beginning Oct. 15, in Peiping and shifting later to New Delhi, to settle the location of the Himalay- an border between India and Ti- bet. India has agreed to send a dele- gation to Peiping on that date ,to discuss Chinese withdrawal from 12,000 disputed square miles in- Ladakh as a preliminary to border negotiations. The Chinese have refused to withdraw as a condition of the negotiations.

DEAN RUSK ... spur' to Russia More Arms May Entice Agreement WASHINGTON (A) - Secretary of State Dean Rusk sees a possi- bility that Communist China be- coming a nuclear power may en- courage Soviet Russia to join in a ban on nuclear tests. , Rusk offered this suggestion in testimony made public yesterday by Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss); chairman of a watchdog Senate defense group studying United States policies on disarmament and arms control proposals. Such a possibility has been sug- gested before by arms negotiators and other United States officials but thus far it has not been re- flected in the Russian attitude. "Communist China could achieve the capability to produce nuclear weapons within a relatively short period," Rusk testified, and then added: "China's achievement of such a capability might well make hers even more irresponsible and ex- pansionist minded than she is now." Rusk conceded that lengthy ne- gotiations with Soviet leaders thus far "have so far not produced any significaht measure of actual agreement" upon any limitation of nuclear weapons or testing.
