German Leader Is Home After Holding Talks Returns Home From Visits With U. S Other West Powers BONN (INS) — West German chancellor Konrad Adenauer reported to his advisors today oa what he termed extremely fruitful talks in Washington, London and New York with U. S., British and French leaders. He returned home Sunday after a final stop in London for talks with prime minister Sir Anthony Eden. Following the lengthy meeting the two chiefs of state issued a communique stating the western powers were making “sustained'' efforts to unify Germany. The German leader also informed Eden about his talks with U.S. officials and recent Soviet notes inviting him to Moscow. The invitation, which apparently will not be accepted until after the forthcoming Big Four talks in Geneva, was a primary concern of all the weatarn officials with whom Adenauer met. It was also taken up when the German leader met with the Big Three foreign ministers at a New York conference, where they were planning the west's position for the Big Four otrley. The London Daily Mail said Eden and Adenauer reached an agreement on a new plan for unification, reportedly also acceptable to President Eisenhower. The newspaper said the main points of the plan were: 1. Asking Russia at the Geneva parley to agree to a free election in all Germany "In the immediate future.” v 2. Establishment of a new allGerman government on the basis of the election returns which would be closely allied with the west and within the framework of the general security plan for Europe. 3. Withdrawal of Russian troops from the eastern sone, ending Communist regime Shore. In return, the west would agree to “certain reductions or changes" in the British and American troops now stationed in Germany as part of a general disarmament plan for Europd. ' “ .

Democrats In Move To Hike Defense Funds Senate Democrats Oppose Reductions By Administration WASHINGTON (INS) — Senate Democrats, remembering pre-Ko-rean military weakness, moved today to increai|e funds for ground troops and supersonic fighter planen—whether the Administration 1 wants them or not. The most reliable information from the ’Democratic aide indicated, however, that the $31.8 billion defense appropriation bill will pass the senate tonight or Tuesday without major change. Son. Stuart Symington (D Mo.), former air secretary in the Truman administration, is leading the Democratic assault on the Eisenhower defense program. He called for a “reappraisal” and a postponement of cuts in army and marine strengths ordered by the administration. Symington also plans to- offer an amendment calling for a 35 per cent boost in fighter plane production, to match a similar production boost in B 52 'long range jet bombers ordered recently by the Pentagon. The pending defense bill carries $356 million in additional funds to provide for the B 52 buildup, occasioned by evidence that Russia already has intercontinental jet bombers in production and use. U. S. B 52 bombers will not go into operational use with the air force until later this summer. Senate Democratic leader Lyndon Johnson (D Tex.), indicated he wil Isupport the effort to hold 17,000 marines on the rolls who otherwise will be dropped by the neW appropriation. He told Sen. Dennis Chaves (D N.M.). who is handling the MH, that he “exercised good judgment” in voting against the -cut in the appropriations committee. The senate is debating the defense bill under a limitation permitting two hours of talk on each amendment and two hours on the bill itself. This meant there was a fair chance of passing the measure tonight. The pleasure also a reduction of 87.000' men in‘army strength—from 1,114.000 on June 30 this year to 1,027,000 on June 30, 1956. This entails a reduction of two divisions, and one regiment, but an increase of 14 antiaircraft battalions. ' ■' 1 Jail Sentence For ~ Lying Under Oath - Grandmother Given Sentence By Judge WASHINGTON (INS) — Mrs. Marie Natvig was sentenced to eight months to two years imprisonment today for lying under oath during her turncoat testimony before the federal communications commission. The 51-year-old Miami Beach. Fla., grandmother, who testified before the FCC in the Edward Lamb case, shook nervously as Federal Judge Alexander Holtzoff handed down the sentence. Holtzoff said anyone who lies in court or government proceedings is a “danger to the community" while pointing out the woman may have been broken down by stiff cross-examination. The thrice divorced woman was convicted of lying at hearings in which she appeared as a government witness and declared that she knew Lamb, a wealthy pub-lisher-broadcaster, of Toledo, O„ and Erie .Pa., as a Communist. Lamb denied the charge. Mrs. Natvig later retracted her statement, but was found guilty of falsely denying she told the same story earlier to the FBI and FCC officials. Holtzoft said the truth or falsity of her charges against Lamb were for the FCC, not for the court to decide. But he said perjury “undermines the integrity of the administration of justice” and persons “who have so little regard for the truth , . . are a danger to the community.” Defense attorney John Dwyer immediaely served notice he would* appeal, but Holtzoff refused to grant bond and Mrs. Natvig was taken into custody immediately.
