Adenauer Ousts 37 FDP Members From Bonn Coalition Government; Senators Propose Election Reform

BONN, Feb. 24--Chancellor Konrad Adenauer tonight brought to a head a bitter nine-month quarrel with the Free Democratic party by expelling 37 of its rebellious members from his coalition government. Dr. Thomas Dehler, leader of the Free Democrats, promptly called in a speech at Stuttgart tonight for "bargaining with the Russians for the price for German unity." Dehler was cheered repeatedly as he accused Adenauer of lacking determination to achieve unification, but Adenauer exacted quick revenge for his defeat of last week at the hands of the Free Democrats. The Free Democrats earlier had helped the Socialists wrest North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany's richest state, from Adenauer's control.

Election Law Forecast

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24--Senate leaders announced plans today to reform the election laws in advance of the presidential and congressional campaigns this year. Majority Leader Johnson (D-Tex.) said one aim of the legislation is to put political contributions "in a goldfish bowl," for all the voters to see.

He indicated, however, that the bill would apply only to elections, not primary campaigns. Johnson said the proposed bill will provide "stringent" requirements for the reporting of campaign contributions. It will also provide federal tax exemption for up to $100 of individual political contributions. The idea of this is to encourage more people to make comparatively small donations and thus broaden financial participation in election campaigns.

Another section, Johnson said, would permit TV and radio networks to give equal free time to candidates of the major parties without having to accord the privilege to "splinter" groups.

Soviets Reject One-Man Rule

MOSCOW, Feb. 24--The 20th Congress of the Communist party today unanimously warned against any attempt to restore one-man rule in the Soviet Union. It publicly flashed a big red light against any person in the party who might try to take over Stalin's role. Party boss N. S. Khrushchev and all other top leaders have told the Congress they are devoted to the principle of collective rule. They have disavowed any intention to return to the one-man system.

Meanwhile, at a "back to bipartisanship" hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington, Secretary of State Dulles said today the Russians are junking a 30-year policy of violence and intolerance and "bringing their system and habits closer to ours."

He took the stand that Moscow, while still aiming at world domination, has been forced to make a big change in methods because of the "unity, firmness, and determination of the free world."

Picketing Enjoined

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Feb. 24--Mass picketing and violence were outlawed yesterday in the million-dollar-a-day Republic Aviation Corp. strike at Farmingdale, N.Y.--but not in time to prevent a new mob brawl.

State Supreme Court Justice Edgar J. Nathan Jr. granted the company a temporary injunction limiting pickets and forbidding them to interfere with nonstrikers.
