50,000 Os Crystal Sets Sold Annually Still Annual Demand For Delicate Sets WASHINGTON UP — I got a pleasant surprise package 4 in the mall thia morning—a crystal radii set. That carried me back to the early I'92o’s when it was sport fpr small boys to make their own radios. For almost nothing yqa could get some wire and wind it around an oatmeal box, ground it aerial it, ear-phone it and have yourself a radio set. 1 was a- little aw’kward at wire/ winding, but a buddy of mine in Farmer City, 111., patched one v.p. I’ll never forget the thrill we had when we jiggered the wire finger to the crystal and caught an qldtime band valley the Kansas City Nighthawks, masterminded .by a couple of boys riamed Carlton Coon and Joe Sanders, the old lefthander. j But who would think that 50,(MMl of these delicate little sets arc sold each year, and that more than a quarter of a million crystal sets now’ are in use throughout the world. The crystals also are . used for these little srits is remarkaffle in these days of television, the multiple “D” performance, and color TV. Who buys them and why? They are much ip use in the rui'al areas of the United States which still have no electricity, and whjere people can’t afford a battery set. ' i The cyrstals also ar® used a.nwnfe the workers; in cotton ti'ejd icanjjps in the South. Patient; in Hospitals find them handy after liglirs out,. Boy Scouts are among then buyers of the sets, too, and us>v| :hem to provide t ntertainmept on (lamping and field trips, 4 ,i" . : , . A?i|, - ; ■ - 41 . TrUde in a good Town —Decatur

Democracy Is Established In West Germany West Germans Fail To Take Interest In New Government BONN, Germany, UP — The West German parliament, first freely-elected federal legislative body in this country since 1932, has just completed its first fouryear session, offering a good point at which to discuss whether Germany has found democracy. The answer, most both foreign and German, agree, is a resounding yes. < The machinery of a democracy has been established, with all its checks and balances, and U works without too much squeaking. : Since the first West Gernian parliament was seated in September, 1949, the lower house (Bundestag) and upper house* (Bundestrat) have approved almost 450 laws. Compared to the number of laws adopted by other national parliaments in a similar period, this may not appear to hqve involved a great' amount of'work. But in West Germany, Almost all laws which public life had to be rewritten, because; those of the Weimar Republic and of the Kaiserreich before tha/t had been badly distorted by the Nalzi regime. Even the criminal. co4e had to be revised. j i , ! Bundestag and Bundesrat meetings have been almost completely .free from the scuffling arid fighting that ' characterizes, fqr instance, the Italian parliament, although a group of Socialist deputies did two years ago | badly maul a rieo-Nazi anti-Semite just outside the parliamentary . chamber.- 1 ’ ( . - Can't Throw Inkwells Angry deputies do occasionally rap the tops of their desks to drown out an opposition speaker, but when the chamber was’ built someone wisely bolted all desks and chairs to the floor and imbedded the inkwells deep in the desk tops so that deputies couldn't throw, them. '■ The court system has been reestablished, and seems tip work pretty! well, although the! bonrititutional court in Karlsruhe is alleged to be not entirely free of political pressure. That courts for instance. has refused to decide whether rearmament is constitutional, pending the outcome of the Sept. 6 federal parliamentary elections. when rearmament will be one of the chief issues. Despite rumors to the contrary, no official discovery of vast corruption or graft has yet been made although a half dozen deputies have been caught padding expense accounts. |

The most noted case developed right after this parliament was seated in 1949, when a w-eekly news magazine alleged that a group of Bavarian deputies had taken money in return for-voting to/ plarie the capital in Bonn. The investigation of the charges dragged on for ihonths, but no one was ever tried or expelled from paHiamient, for evidence was lacking. Liaison Lacking The pf.ess and radio are free, although the government has twice ordered the confiscation o| newsstand copies of |ng what were officially consider; ed to be libelous articles . about Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. Copies sent through the post office, however, were not disturbed. The most seribus failure of the new West German democracy would appear to be that there are alinost no links betw-een the‘parliament and the people. It is difficult to determine where the fault lies. Forty percent of the 401 deputies of the first parliament were elected the proportional representation “ system, so have no constituencies tb report to. , f r Many. Socialist opposition deputies' sole income copes from; parliament and the party; so it becomes a bread and 4 butter matter for them to vote as the [tarty chieftains tfell them, not as they believe their constituents would wish them to. To 'oppose the party line woirldmean these deputies would not receive official party support- in the coming election, and independent candidates in Germany arc. notoriously unsuccessful—the present parliament had but one. Interest Flags The same goes for the 40 percent elected under the proportional representation system, because seats in the new parliament depend entirely on the whims of the party leaders. - On the other hand, the West German people are extremely apathetic to politics. Deputies rep--rt-siinting rural constituencies say their voters are interested only in Ute price of their produce. Even Gerinan re-unification doesn’t ;ipt'ercst these farmers, unless they happen to own some land in Sovietioccupied East Germany. For two years, the government and the opposition have fought bitterly about whether to rearm

within the European Defense Community. Yet a recent survey showed that 75 percent of the West Germans did not know the meaning of the initials “EVG” which stand for the German equivalent of “European Defense Community.’' Fifty seven percent did not know the meaning of the initials “UN.” Despite Socialist cries that under the European Defense Community, West Gertndny would lose her “national sovereignty,” 53 percent could not define these two words. For th'b past;two years, parliament has struggled to write an election law- It was the subject of bitter debates, numerous committee sessions, party bargaing, front-page newspaper stories and brooding editorials about the destruction of democracy if this or that; version prevailed. Yet a check .of 2(1 representative deputies by correspondent showed that not ofae has ever received a single letter from “a .constituent concerning the law which would determine how that constituent could select his delegate to parliament. I ' The nation's oldest horse-racing track is at Saratoga Springs, N. Y; The Saratoga Association for the Improvement of the Breed of Horses was organized in 1864.
