Washington, May 13.
Brig-General, R. S. Moore, Congressional liaison officer for the Army, said today that the United States hud developed deadly new weapons that were far superior to anything Russin had. Among then he listed hand grenades that would "kill any tank", guided missiles, the new 3.5 tank-killing bazooka and the F-86 Sabre jet. which he said is the fastest plane ever flown in combat.

Tokyo, May 13.
American planes carried the war to the resis- tant Chinese Army today in a blistering 600-plane attack on supply lines and staging areas of the threatened new Communist offensive.
Allied artillery roared across the 100-mile Korean front to keep the Communists off the balance while the United Nations troops stiffened their defences.
Night fighters and bombers kept the air attack going on a round-the-clock basis.

Germany In Europe
21 On

HE admission of the
Federal Republic into the Council of Europe is an event of great symbolic importance. While the deputica in the Paris are still wrangling over chewed-up agenda for a Big Four con- ference
settlement German Chancellor Adenauer, representing a Germany "90 per cent sovereign," he asserted, took his place with the Committee of Foreign Ministers of Western Europe meeting to prepare for the Council's third Consultative Assembly. The two meetings in Paris are not a perfect illustration of the contrast between shadowboxingTM and reality. The Council of Europe is not yet, and in present abnormal conditions cannot be for a long time to come, the power it aims to be. But it represents a movement toward unity animated and shaped by the force of necessity. It corresponds to living realities, and thereford outstrips and outdates the blind-alley dialectics of the Palais Rose. The prospect of a face treaty for Germany grows dimmer with every meeting of the Great Powers that com- bined to defeat her. But time and events are urgent negotiators and they are acting swiftly to decide the future of Germany. The inclusion of the Bonn Government in the Council of Europe is an Ironic necompaniment to the sterile polemio in the Palais Roso because it is a sign that history has its own way of malding settlèments. German participation in the Council of
Europe is a long step toward peace with Germany, It does not increase her power, or her influence in international policy, but it does make her part of the It ties her to European community, the West, and the interesting point is that this change in what may be called the social and moral status of the former enemy is made by the neigh- bouring states, the chief victims of her aggression. In the lead of these states, it is worthy of note, stands France. That the Council is made stronger by full German membership goes without saying, and the main clement of this Increased strength is the will-of-largo- Réctions

larger idea than the narrow nationalism that twice led the country to ruin. Dr Adenauer assured his colleagues in Paris that West Germany "will work in the Council of Europo with all its force toward unity as the only means of keeping peace and meeting the pressures from the East and from Asia." Germany's symbolic return to the European family is a great advance toward unity, and there is ground for hope that her new position will sharpen her sense of responsibility to the community of which, for good or evil, she is an inseparable part.
