Writer Asserts Two Germanys Won't Be United for Many Years By RICHARD O'REGAN BERLIN (AP)-In the desolate days of Berlin's capitulation, Karl and Max Frenzel threw down their guns, shook hands as brothers and went in different directions. Karl fled westward and Max surrendered to the Soviets. Karl now is a prosperous West German shoe store owner. Max, he has learned, has an engineer's job in Communist East Germany. "We will never see each other Karl says.

"We have grown far apart. The fact is that "there are two Germanys. People keep saying that Germany one day will be one nation again. But not in my lifetime. We might as well accept that." This spring there may be EastWest -even decisions on Germany's future.

There may rseult some cooperation between the two Germanys. But whatever separate. or done, there appears little doubt that the map of Europe is going to show two Germanys, two nations, for years--perhaps decades to come. East Germany, with its million inhabitants, is now too far along the road to communism for the Soviet Union to allow it to turn back. It is too vital, militarily and politically, to the Soviet world.

Its industrial production is second only to the Soviet Union. West Germany, with its 51 millions, is firmly wedded to a flourishing capitalist economy and to the Western way of doing things. Industrially, its production is second only to the United States in the entire Western world. Germany's situation is almost as if her former her enemies had agreed: "We can't get along with each other. We can't decide how to end the continued squabbling about it.

We will go on squabbling. In the meantime, both of us have added something to our side's strength. And we have done thing we both wantedwe have made it impossible for a new Hitler to come along and cause trouble Whether the diplomats say it is a good thing or not that Germany is split, it is a fact that the division has: 1. Shaken the old tures and traditions. 2.

Cracked the old Prussian caste systems. The Billings Gazette, Monday Morning, April 6, 1959 In the East-thorough-going communism from the top to the bottom of society. For 14 years, Marxist concepts have been stamped with terror and the suppression of all contrary ideas on a people whose resistance to it was crushed in the Berlin uprising on June 17, 1953. Now these people have little more than sullen hope. In the West the concept of a united Western Europe in which West Germany can play a leading role culturally, politically and economically in the interests of common peace and security.

These are the ideas of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. The division of Germany started as soon as the war was over. At the Potsdam conference in July 1945 the Four agreed to decentralize country politically Bite with no central government. They agreed, however, that the country should be treated as a single economic unit. That's where the trouble began.

The only kind of economic unit the Soviet Union wanted was a Communist one. Stalin's aim was to keep Germany dismembered and discontented. The more hopeless country and its people were, the more chance for communism to spread. In their own zone, the Reds began systematically plundering and shippine, out everything, movable. Germany became an economic desert with the population living at near-starvation.

The West didn't want this sort of thing. Every early Western effort to provide a mere minimum basis for the Germans to survive was denied and frustrated by the Soviet Union. At the same time, the Soviets took steps toward communizing their zones-closing private banks, splitting up big estates and nationalizing industry. In December 1946, something had to be done to coordinate the first Western efforts to start life going again in Germany. The United States and Britain established a "bizone." It was a step that upset Stalin's plans for economic unrest.

The Soviets finally walked out of the four-power Allied Control Council in Berlin on March 20, 1948. The Berlin blockade began shortly after. In November, while the blockade was in force, the Berlin Communists finally split the Berlin city government, which had been democratically elected. They set up a rump government of their own in the eastern sector of the former capital. Stalin's plan to take over all of Germany collapsed when the blockade ended in 1949.

Germany was finally divided. In the West, the Federal Republic of Germany with a freely elected government under Chancellor Adenauer was formed in September 1949. In the East, without elections the Communists created the German Democratic Republic under Premier Otto Grotewohl. The feeling of frustration, hopelessness and lack of any future already had ended for the West Germans when new currency was introduced in 1948. In 1949, with considerable Marshall Plan aid the break with the east complete, Adenauer began to pull 1 West Germany up by its bootstraps.

Today, West Germany's industrial production is 232 per cent of what it was before the war under Hitler. West Germany is in the middle of its biggest boom in history. The Deutsche mark is one of the world's top currencies. The "German miracle" has disrupted the old economic society. Tens of thousands of new businessmen have elbowed their way to places side by side with those old industrial barons who survived, like the mighty Krupp family.

The former upper classes, who floated in diplomatic circles have consequently disappeared as an elite. when wash want to WASH!

Ph. 2-5705 (CongregationHas Varied Reaction After Presentation of 'Jazz Mass' By BILL BENDER NORWALK, Conn. (AP) The Solemn Mass began Sunday in a tradition steeped New England church with the ripple of a jazz piano. This was something new in religious music--the so-called "Jazz Mass" and a standing room only crowd edged forward to listen. The drummer picked up the beat, and then the sounds of a thumping combo pierced the dim interior of the four wooden and stone church.

Some of the younger worshippers swayed unconsciously in their seats with the music, others tapped their toes. Still others sat stiffly and intently, as did their elders. The music was the "Twentieth Century Folk Mass" written a few years ago by the Rev. Beaumont, vicar of St. George's Church, Camberwell, England.

It was performed at Norwalk by the Russ Martion Quartet and the choir and clergy of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church. The quartet, visible to the congregation, wore plain dark suits, while the choir wore robes. The church, conservative Anglican, sits at the head of the Norwalk green. The powerful organ was silenced in favor of the piano, played by Martion, plus drums, bass and alto sax.

The Rev. Anthony P. Treasure, 37, rector of St. Paul's, said the was an attempt to the words of the solemn Eucharist in a familiar musical setting. vertising director: "This isn't anything new, you really Some of the century chants were originally drinking songs." Louise Grumman, a high school student: "I like it but I wouldn't want to hear it every Sunday." Marian Larson, a high school student: "It sounded more like a cocktail party." The Rev.

Mr. Treasure referred to the jazz Mass only indirectly in his sermon. "We cannot leave a part of our life behind us as we come to the house of the Lord," he said. New music is not unusual to the congregation. The choir has frequently sung religious compositions by modern classical composers.

The members of the jazz combo, all of whom come from nearby Stamford, had three rehearsals with the choir last week. All are professional musicians. Martion, 27, teaches band at Stamford High School.
