Allies And West Germany Debate Defence Costs

BONN. Germany. (AP) — The Western allies and West Germany's government are deadlocked over how much the West Germans should pay toward the defence of

Europe, Allied sources said here Tuesday.

The Germans want to pay less than in past years. while the Allies contend they should pay more because of the increased

prosperity of the federal republic.

Two types of German contribu- tion are being negotiated:

l. The occupation costs that help to keep British. American. French and Belgian troops in Germany. These payments would continue only until West Germany rearms under the proposed six-nation Eur- opean Defence Communlty treaty.

2. The defence contribution to be paid by Gerrriany after ratification of EDC. Contributions by all six member nations. assessed accord- ing to each nation's capacity, will be pooled for use by the defence community as a. whole. some will go toward transport,’ houding and supply of allied forces in Germany. “The old agreement expires June

Under it the Germans paid 600.- 000.000 marks ($l42,800.000iamonth occupation costs and were sche- duled to pay 950,000,000 ($226,100.- 000). a month when llDCwent into effect. France and Italy still hsve not ratified the E130 treaty.

loselleip Oppenheimer From Atomic Secrets

WASHINGTON (AP)—A special Atomic Energy Commission secur- ity board has voted 2 to 1 to deny J. Robert Oppenheimer, famed atomic scientist. access to the United States’ atomic secréts.

Herbert Marks. lawyer for Oppen- heimer, made public the AEC action Tuesday. He said he was notified of the board's decision in a letter dated May 28.

Marks said he asked the AEC to reconsider the board's decision. He asked per- mission fo file briefs.

The letter from the AEC told Oppenheimer the security board recommended "that your clear- ance not be ‘reinstated."

Gordon Gray. former army sec- retary and now president of the University of North Carolina. headed the special board which held hearings on charges that Oppenheimer opposed development of the hydrogen bomb and had Communist links. '

Mark: said Gray voted with Thomas A. Morgan. former pres- ident of the Sperry Corp.. in the recommendation that Oppenhei- mer‘: clearance not be reinstated. CASTS DISSENTING VOTE

The dissenting vote. Mm-ks said. was cast by Ward V. Evans.

-A.

chemistry professor at Loyola University at Chicago. The board came to the "clear

conclusion" that Oppenheimer is “a loyal citizen."

It said, however. that:

"i. We find that Dr. Oppen- helmer's continuing conduct and associations have reflected a seri- ous disregard for the requirements of the security system.

"2. We have found I suscep. tibility to influence which could have serious implications for the security interests of the country.

“3. We find his conduct in the hydrogen bomb program suffic- iently disturbing as to rnigg . doubt as to whether his future participation. if characterized by the some attitudes in a govern. ment program relating to -the national defence. would be clearly consistent with the best interests of security.

"4. We have regretfully; con- cluded that Dr. Oppenheimer 11.; been less than candid in several instances in this testimony before this board." .

President Eisenhower last April I3 disclosed that he had ordered a "blank wall" set up between Oppenheimer‘ and secret nuclear files.

That announcement followed ac- tion by thc AEC last Dec. 23 re- fusing Oppenhelmar access to the files.

fund-Raising Discussed Al Church Meeting

TORONTO (CP) —- Presbyterian ministers were desuibed Tuesday as the worst enemies of church fund-rising committees.

The criticism came from Dr.

-Neil Miller. secretary of the slew- ardship and budget committee of Mic Presbyterian Church in Can- ada. He also criticized the Wells Organisation, commercial special- ist. in fund raising. .' Wells techniques are no different from those used by church com- mittees, he told the church’s pre- assembly conference. " “But our ministers seem to be- lieve they are in the church to preach the gospel . . . and protect the pocket-books of their parish-i ioners.

"These commercial specialists do not make any more money out of the com.munity than we do and their selling techniquu an the same we have been using for 30 years." - ~ '

Dr. Miller advised congregations in get the money first for whatl they have in mind, then start drawing up the plans.

NEED YOUNG MEN

of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Addressing the conference on‘

“The Eldership and the Session.” he urged that the kirk session be representative of all types in the congregation and should include young men as well as greyibeards.

Mr. Olen said some student min- lstcrs now preach. at most. It! practice sermons a year for the three years of their training. Stu- dent school teachers. on the other hand. often taught from 50 to 100 practice lessions a year.
