He undoubtedly will call upon Heinrich von Brentano to succeed him in the Foreign Office. German political experts regard Von Bre tano, 50, as the political heir ap parent to the 79-year-old Chancel lor. Von Brentano present is par liamentary floor leader for Aden auer’s Christian Democratic party. He told the Cabinet he will sub mit his resignation as foreign minister when President Theodor He'uss returns from a summer va cation. Adenauer’s decision to give up the foreign ministry stemmed from these considerations: 1. His determination, to keep the projected . 500,000-man West German army from becoming a "state' within a state” with such great power as the old Prussian led army had under the Kaiser and in the Weimar Republic. 2. The need for a full-time for eign minister to handle this new ly sovereign nation’s bigger role in world affairs. 3. The feeling that he should .take things easier now that he is approaching his 80th year. Benson Proposes Rigid - Wheat Control Program WASHINGTON, May 13 (/P)— Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson today proposed a rigid control program for the 1956 wheat crop. He set June 25 as the date for a grower referendum on It.

After rechecking for safety, the Public Health Service approved 11 batches of Salk vaccine made by Parke, Davis & Co. of Detroit. This stamped the governmeni vaccine except that in the hands of Minnesota health authorities. The Minnesota supply, officials said, presumably is all right, too. But its approval is being held up until all the data is in hand. All told, enough vaccine to in oculate more than four million persons was approved by today’s announcement. Some three-fourths of the 4,250,- 000 cubic centimeters involved already has been used for vac cinations. But Surgeon Gem Leo nard A. Scheele said today’s ac tion means “over a million more children can now be vaccinated beginning immediately.” Inoculation of school children was halted temporarily a week ago, on advice from Washington, after a number of inoculated youngsters developed polio. Scheele ordered Public Health Service experts into the field to check safety standards of the manufacturers, company by com pany. Parke, Davis & Co. was first on the list.

Who will become the supreme commander of the Allied Red forces may be announced then. Konev Speculated There has been speculation that Marshal Ivan S. Konev Soviet deputy defense minister, would get the top spot. Some consider the post may go to Marshal Kon stantin Rokossovsky, the Russian war hero who now heads Poland’s armed forces. The treaty links the Soviet Un ion, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hun gary, Bulgaria, Romania, Bast Germany and Albania in the mili tary alliance and provides as well for mutual economic aid and cul tural exchanges. Radio Announces Treaty In announcing the treaty’s ap proval, the Moscow radio gave the conference the formal title of “The Warsaw Conference of European Countries on Safeguarding Peace and Security in Europe.” Bulganin told the opening ses sion Wednesday the treaty will be open to any other European na tion wishing to join and that the alliance will automatically dis solve itself if any all-European security system can be devised.

Reds, Allies Differ 0 WASHINGTON, May 13 (ff) —A dozen disarmament docu ments released tonight showed Russia and the Allies as far apart as ever on the question of controls to make sure no body cheats. The hitherto secret documents showed fundamental agreement on many counts by all five mem ber nations of the United Nations Disarmament Commission which has been meeting at London since Feb. 25. . Documents Show Gap But they also showed a wide gap on the issue of ironclad guar antees. The West wants a control agen cy in being, with wide powers to go anywhere and check up on anything, before the first gun is Sigma Alpha Mu presents the SAMMY CIRCUS 4-D's Combo Open Ike Names New Army WASHINGTON, May 13 (£>)—President Dwight D. Eisen hower named a new Army chief today to succeed Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway, who has decided to retire after bucking at the President’s idea of a smaller atomic-age army. Eisenhower’s new choice is Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, 54, now Far East commander. ' ‘ Ridgway notified the Army he intends to retire from active duty on June 30—a month and a half before his term is up as Army chief of staff. He reached the 60-year age lim it for general officers last March 31, but was allowed to continue on his two-year term under a pro vision which permits the reten tion of a certain number of re tirement-age generals. This had Eisenhower’s approval. Informs Army General However, last Monday Ridgway informed the Army’s adjutant general that he desired to be re tired June 30, when he will have completed 38 years’ service. Ridgway, in recent appearances before congressional committees considering the military manpow er budget, has said hi complies with the decision of his superiors. But in speeches and discussions elsewhere he has said that the dispersal requirements of an atomic battlefield will call for more, not fewer soldiers. Eisenhower Replies ’ Eisenhower, when asked about this attitude, told newsmen that Ridgway had oply a “parochial” responsibility for national defense —a wor dwnich means limited or narrow. Taylor, a tall, handsome fight ing man, campaigned in some of the fiercest world War II battles in Europe. Later he went to Korea as Bth Army commander, then moved up to commander in chief of U.S. and Allied forces in the Far East. Quiet Hour Discussion Nittany Council will discuss quiet hours during finals and recognition of retiring members at its meeting at 6:45 p.m. Mon day in Nittany 20. scrapped under any disarmament program. Russia continues vague about the powers of a control agency. Indeed, the Soviets argue that nations distrust each other so much they would not stand for unlimited inspections, so controls are “mere formalities” and raise false hopes of security. Key Point Split The split was wide open on this key point—one so vital tjiat American officials said agreement could be reached on every other issue and the talks could founder on that point alone. But the documents, when com pared with a Soviet disarmament plan being ballyhooed by the Kremlin, show at least four major concessions by the Russians. The indicate, too, that Moscow has come close to the Western view on another point and has sprung at least three surprises. Taylor Chief Faure Objects To Neutrality Of Germany PARIS, May 13 (iF) —French Premier Edgar Faure came out to day against the idea of a neutral ized Germany as unrealistic. He said he favors the prospective ' cp level conference of the Big Four, but that it should not halt West German rearmament. Some diplomatic observers be lieve Russia’s consent to a neu tralized Austria, under the inde pendence treaty to be signed in Vienna Sunday, may be des : g«ed to prepare the way for a similar offer to Germany. Though many Frenchmen, fear ful of a rearmed Germany, might welcome such a development, Faure told a news confereince: “I don’t think this idea is real istic and I haven’t seen that it has been put in a form that could be discussed now. Even for Austria, it seems the idea of neutralization has not been kept in the way first suggested. In any case, the prob lem is different for a country of Germany’s importance.” “We must at the same time push our efforts to strengthen security and to get useful negotiations, 1 * he said.
