Adenauer Pledges
Action on Pacts
BONN, Germany, Oct. 25 (TP) —Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to
night quick action to get'ratification of the Paris agree
ments to make West Germany a partner in European defense.
He made this pledge in a broadcast on the eve of his departure
for the United States to. discuss West Germany’s new role in Europe,
with President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles. Adenauer said he
will bring the agreements before
Parliament as soon as he gets back.
He arrives in Washington Wed
nesday ,morning and. is due back
in Bonn about Nov.-4.
Adenauer told listeners to . the
Northwest German Radio the new
pacts guarantee. “we Will succeed
in saving peace in Europe and the
world and finally achieve German
reunification.”
The Chancellor toid the Ger
mans these ' were the gains
achieved at the Paris conference:
• .1. After ratification, West Ger
many will regain full authority
over internal and foreign affairs.
“The occupation period is ended,
we are free,” he said.
2/ The seven-nation West Euro
pean Union contains elements for
integration of Europ e—“and
thoughts of such integration have
in no way. be,On given up.”
3. In joining NATO, the federal
republic will become part of “the
most powerful defense organiza
tion .over known in history.
4. The wish for a French-Ger
man reconciliation can be devel
oped now that confidence has re
placed mistrust and “nevermore
shall the' two people tear each
other to pieces in senseless war.”
5. In the Saar settlement both
sides had made concessions to
reach “a feasible,compromise 'hat
every good German can support.”
The last point was apparently
the Chancellor’s answer to the
storm of criticism leveled at the
Saar accord by both his Socialist
opposition and members of his
own coalition.
German critics of the Faris
“package deal” have charged it
will make German reunification
more difficult, if not impossible,
to achieve.
Adenauer tonight retorted that
reunification had “won powerful
allies” in Paris.
Earlier, Adenauer told reporters
the Paris agreements give West
Germany more power than would
have been obtained under the re
jected European Army pact.

Fight for
Job Ruling
. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (JP)—
The Eisenhower administration
today lost its fight for a Supreme
Court ruling that'the President
has broad powers to remove fed
eral, jobs from Civil Service classi
fications and make the holders
subject to summary firing.
Attorney ■ General Herbert
Brownell had asked the high tri
bunal to review and overturn a
Court, of Appeals decision here
holding that the White House
lacks such authority.
“Palpably,” Brownell said in
his appeal, “the decision has a
significance which goes far be
yond the particular facts ... It
places a broad limitation upon the
capacity of the chief executive
to manage the federal establish
ment in the manner which-he be
lieves will best promote effective
administration.”
Worker Fired
The government worker specif
ically is Leo A. RotH, a Justice
Department lawyer who was fired
from his' $lO,BOO-a-year job on
July 31, 1953.
' The Appeals Court ordered
Roth reinstated, but this was not
done pending the, outcome of
Brownell’s appeal.
There was no immediate com
ment from the Justice department
or* its next move. Both is entitled
under the Appeals Court decision
—whicl* the Suprerne Court today
left in effect—to back pay from
the date of his dismissal, less any
money he may have earned in
private ’employment.
The issue involved in the ap
peal was whether the President
may reclassify jobs from the class
ified, of protected, status to the
non-classified, or unprotected, sta
tus. This was done in the case of
Roth, whose .job was reclassified
to the unprotected status, by an
executive order.

Communis!' Poland
Claims Field Freed
VIENNA, ..Austria, Oct. 25 (#>)—Communist-ruled Poland an
nounced' fc&ay it has freed Cleveland architect Hermann Field, one
of four members of the Field family who disappeared in turn behind
the Iron Curtain in a five-year cloak-and-dagger drama.
Twelve hours after the announcement was broadcast by Radio
Warsaw, a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Poland said in a telephone
interview ‘'We still don’t kn.Q'vyhis
whereabouts.” But the release of
Field apparently was no surprise
to Washington
Vienna! experts on affairs Jbe
hihd the Iron Curtain said to
night they had doubts that Field
would ever return to the West,
even though he may have been
released from a Red prison.
These, sources' based such
speculation on the point that
apparently Field's release was
not the result of an agreement
with the United States; and
that the Communists may have
reasons of their own for turn
ing him free.
Warsaw’s broadcast said an of
ficial investigation had shown that
Hermann Field, now 44, was the
victim of a “frame-up by an
American agent” in the Polish
security service, and that there
fore he has “been released and
full satisfaction has been given
him.”
Polish Police Official
This referred to the defection
from Poland of Jozef Swiatlo, a
too official of the Polish secret
police. Swiatlo appeared at a news
conference in Washington Sept. 28
and said Hermann Field had been
arrested and held In a prison at
Miedzeszyn, outside Warsaw. Swi
atlo, who said he had been Field’s
jailer, surmised that Noel Field
apd his wife, last reported held in
Budapest, Hungary, probably were
dead. The Fields’ adopted daugh
ter is believed a prisoner in a la
bor camp at Vorkuta, in Russia’s
far north.
“Polish authorities,” the official
Warsaw communique said, “last
■year ordered an investigation into
a number of legal cases which
revealed gross violations of the
law. In the- course of the investi
gation, authorities unmasked ah
official of the Polish security ser
vice as an agent of the American
espionage system.”
Swiatlo Is Agent
: It ■ identified the “agent” as
Swiatlo, who fled Poland last' De
cember. The broadcast said Swi
atlo was responsible for the ar
rest of Hermann Field and others,
adding that Field now has been
cleared of all charges against him.
Those charges never have been
specified.

Hits Allied
Agreements
UNITED .NATIONS, N.Y., Oct.
25 (/P) —Russia’s Andrei Y. Vish
ins'ky today lashed at the London
and Paris agreements on West
Germany and said they were lead
ing to new threats instead of re
laxing tension.
“I say you can’t have new pacts
which make for aggression while
you are supposedly seeking dis
armament in the UN,” Vishinsky
declared near the end of a long
speech on disarmament in the UN
Assembly’s Political Committee.
The Soviet deputy foreign min
ister added that the Germans al
ready “are dreaming of revenge
and retaliation.' The immediate
neighbors of West Germany will
be the first to suffer from that.”
He lashed out at the agrements
on West Germany shortly after
Moscow had set the pace with a
quick attack on them. But at the
same time, Vishinsky told the UN
that the Russians had come closer
to the West with their new look
on disarmament and .challenged
the West to make similar moves
for agreement.
India’s V. K. Krishna Menon,
meanwhile, circulated to the dele
gates a resolution calling on the
UN Disarmament Commission to
study ways and means of estab
lishing an armament truce pend
ing agreement on a disarmament
convention.
Menon also proposed that the
General Assembly, scheduled to
adjourn in December, recess in
stead so it can come back into
session quickly if the Disarma
ment commission makes a report
requiring fast action.
India previously has called for
a standstill agreement on further
production of atomic and hydro
gen bombs until the powers have
worked out an agreement on a
control system and measures to
eliminate the bombs.
