Erich Ollenhauer
Gains Recognition
— 8
By LEO ANAVI
Washington, Feb. 19 OB—They
say about the German socialist
party that it always will remain a
threat in the background. This
may not be the case next year.
The West German socialists have
- been making strides. They have
popular leaders who have a knack
at taking issues apart and show-
ing various weaknesses.
Erich Ollenhauer, currently vis-
iting this country, is one such.
The social democratic leader is
beginning to hope that he and his
party tan get the hod of the West
German people.
An international outlook is the
main characteristic of West Ger-
many’s number one socialist. Ol-
lenhauer learned about other
countries the hard way, fleeing
from one to another as the. Nazis
marched through Europe.
He went into exile when the
Nazis came to power’ in 19.83. He
then was chairman of the social-
ist executive in Germany. His
first step was Prague, where’he
stayed until 1938. He then mov-
"ed his headquarters to Paris. He
stayed in Paris until Nazi troops
neared the French capital. His
next stop was London where he
established a sort of exile head-
quarters. It was not until Febru-
ary, 1946 that he got back to his
native iand. His fellow Social
Democrats lost no time in nam-
ing him deputy chairman of the
party.
Ollenhauer was born in Magde-
burg, now in the eastern zone,, in
1901. He “joined the socialist
youth movement as a 15-ycar-old
printer’s apprentice. He rose fast
in Germany’s socialist bureaucra-
cy to become an organizer. He ac-
tually reached the national execu-
tive committee the year Hitler
took over.
The socialist leader had quite
a choice to make when he came
home from exile. The Socialist
Party then was torn betvyeen two
extremes: Those wanting to make
common cause with the Reds and
those who stuck to a strictly na-
tionalist line. Ollenhauer made
his political home with the Schu-
macher wing—the rightist wing.
In 1952, when Schumacher died
from ailments contracted in con-
centration camps, Ollenhauer suc-
ceeded him.
Ollenhauer is hard-hitting but
not the least bit fiery. *In party
squabbles, he usually sticks to the
conservative side. He soft-pedals
.the old class war, plays up social-
ist efficiency in running state and
local governments, and generally
preaches gradualness. It is one of
his arguments that Germany
would not be made into a social-
ist state even if his party won
the national election come Sep-
tember.
Ollenhauer was married
1922. One son is a clerk for the
European coal and steel commun-
ity, the other is a telephone com-
pany technician in Munich.
Ollenhauer is slightly paunchy
and moontfaced. He presides plac-
idly over his party’s bureaucracy
and delivers cautious orations on
the need to proceed slowly.
He says he has no hobbies to
speak of and mentions his heavy
schedule, but he knows how to re-
lax. Oftentimes in the evening he
sips wine with cronies and plays
skat, a German card game. He
goes to work rather late in the
morning, but he will stay late at
socialist headquarters if his pres-
ence is needed.
The purpose of his visit to the
United States is to get first-hand
information on American policy.
Experts in the state department
says he will stick to the alliance
with the West if his party comes
out victorious in the September
contest.

Proof Sought
Veteran Dead
Memphis, Feb. 19 LB—After 22
days and thousands of man-hours
of digging, there still is no legal
proof that Arthur-Wright is dead.
Volunteers have been attempt-
ing to save Wright’s pension for
his wife ar.d six children. To do
it, they cleared tons of dirt from
a cave-in in a drainage ditch. And
the fear is that Wright’s body
must have been swept down the
ditch to the Wolf River, which
empties into the Mississippi
January 27th, Wright — a 36-
year-old disabled veteran—disap-
peared and presumably was
drowned in ’ the 40-foot deep
ditch. Mrs Wright said she was
told by the Veterans Administra-
tion that the family’s chief sup-
port—Wright's $96 a month pen-
sion—would be stopped until he
is proved legally dead—a process
that could take 7 years.

Disabled Veteran
Victim of Swindle
San Antonio, Feb. .19 LB—A 50-
year-old San Antonio disabled
veteran was the victim of a un-
ique swindle yesterday.
The man, Ear! Hutchens, told
police he was approached by two
men who claimed they were detec-
tives who were “cleaning up the
town.”
He said they did not mention
any charges but told him he must
post a $2,900 bond.
Hutchens said the two men ac-
companied him to the bank where
he withdrew the money and gave
it to them.
He says he doesn’t work and
receives a 100 per cent disability
pengion because of injuries re-
ceived in World War 2. “*
By H. A. SCHENDORF
Washington, Feb, 19 Con-
gress is tackling two burning ques-
tions.
One is a political firecracker:
Who is to build a peacetime
atomic industry, private investors
or the government?
The other is a scientific prob-
lem: What will we do with danger-
ous atomic waste, which will in-
crease as more and more atomic
installations go into operation?
The Eisenhower administration
has tended to treat atomic power
•pretty much as power develop-
ment in general.
On the general question it has
held that electrical power should
be developed by private interests,
so long as they are willing and
able to. And when the’ developing
4s needed and no private investors
are prepared to risk it, the gov-
ernment should do the job.
This so-called partnership policy
has left a lot of reclamation and
flood-control projects in the gov-
ernment category, but private
power companies have been given
opportunities to participate in the
development, production and sale
of power.
The administration cracked the
knuckles of private power inter-
ests in the atomic field not so long
ago, warning, in effect, that if
they did not proceed more rapid-
ly^ the government might consid-
er the development of atomic pow-
er its duty because private indus-
try was not doing a job.
The nation, it warned, could not!
be permitted to lag behind in-
tensely competitive foreign indus-'
trial nations in the use of the
very source of power American
scientists pioneered.
Meanwhile, with the number of
atomic installations likely to mul-
tiply—whether they are built by
publie or private interests—the
problem is growing of what to do
with the waste they produce. Each
particle of ash produced by burn-
ing atomic fuel is a source of
deadly rays, and it remains so for
hundreds of years.
So far, it has been stored in
caves or dumped at sea. But
atomic scientists, themselves, say
this is about like a housewife
sweeping the dirt under the car-
pet. It may do for today, but it’s
not a solution to the problem.
Scientists are lopking urgently
for othegplaces to get rid of this
atomic refuse. They are consider-
ing, for instance, sue!) places as
abandoned mines or worked-out oil
wells, or maybe underground 'salt
domes.
The object is to find places
from 5,000 to 15,000 feet under-
ground where they lethal waste
can be stored and pretty much
forgotten for the next few cen-
turies, or until it has been decon-
taminated by natural exhaustion.
Such atomic dumps must be so
located as not to contaminate
water or soil. And they must be
located so that the wkste will stay
underground; there is a very real
