Addresses Historians He is Prof. Robert Waite who spoke before the Conference of German and American Historians held this year in Braunschweig, more than 100 miles south of Hamburg. The meeting was also attended by observers from Israel and Belgium. Written by Walter Goerlitz with Braunschweig dateline, the story reviews Prof.

Waite's talk on the development of AmericanGerman relations before World War II. In his remarks the WilLiams teacher cautioned against the use of extreme generalities to assess historical events. The correspondent noted that Prof. Waite "came well equipped with a huge tobacco pipe and entertained with more humor and warm understanding than had been expected from that formidable appearance." Herr Goerlitz remarked that Prof. Waite "is well-known for his penetrating and objective treatment of the Free Corps avant garde movement of the Nazis." Prof.

GORDON BULLETT uated from The Phillips Academy at Andover, in 1938 before coming to Williams. While a student here he served as a four-year member of the student vestry, of which he was senior warden his last year. While in Williamstown, Mr. Rising became known for his interest in the Church School, and the Children's choir. The cross now used for the family service every Sunday was presented the choir by Mr.

Rising in 1942. 'After four years of duty with the United States Army, Mr. Rising was in business for two years and then entered the Harvard Graduate School of Business in 1948. He received the M. A.

degree in 1949. The Very Rev. Mr. Rising decided to enter the ministry in fall of 1949, and entered the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge where he received the degree of bachelor of sacred theology. He was ordained in his home town of Lancaster, Ohio and served as assistant at Christ Church in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1952-55.

Besides his present position, this has included service as rector of Trinity Church in Manila, Waters' By Little Theater Scheduled Aug. 7 The times and troubles of the Simonds, Curtisses and Chapins in 1753 in "Minof Williamstown Fort Hoosac gling Waters" a week from tomorrow at 7 p.m. in the Grant- Mitchell outdoor amphitheater, Mrs. Chase Directs Directed by Mrs.

Hildreth K. Chase, the Williamstown Little Theater production will include members of the Schaghticoke Indian tribe, which lends itself in translation to the play's title. Documental factual evidence, the hour long play involves an outing some of the 13 early families of the time at the confluence of Broad Brook and the Hoosac River, during the haying season and the time when they were building their homes. In fact, to keep things straight the action takes place on Aug. 7, 1753, the day and month of the production.

The plot deals with a young brave of the St. Francois tribe of Canada. The Indian, scarfaced and dazed, has lost his memory, wandered south after a Lake Champlain canoeing accident, and comes across the local party. His recovery of memory and the arrival of Capt. Ephraim Williams and brother, Dr.

Thomas Williams, mark the resolution of the drama. 40 in Cast Thursday night the cast held another rehearsal and planning session at Mrs. Chase's home at 41 Meacham St. About 40 area young people and adults comprise the cast.

Corps movement after World War 1 I. Prof. Waite was asked the question, "How was it possible that such a system, a negation of God, as Nazism could have arisen?" He answered, "I don't know but if you read 50 pages of Kampf' and view and read contemporary motion pictures and books, you still won't be able to understand the Third Reich but you will know what happened to the German people." Chiding Cited Prof. Waite was quoted as being particularly adamant against extreme accusations of some ele ments in each country toward each other. For instance, he chided some Germans who feel that Roosevelt sold the Germans out by the east-west division because of the influence of Communists, and some Americans who feel that Hitler came to power only through the vilest of intrigues.

-Prof. Waite, with his family, went to Germany last September to gather material for a biography of Hitler. He, his wife, Anne, and two sons, Geoffrey and Peter, are expected to return to Williamstown sometime. before the September opening of Williams. Another Williamstown resident, David Peck son of Mr.

and Mrs. David Peck of Haley St. accompanied them and has been in Germany with the Waites during the past year. Most People Agree Lodge Shot in Arm, But Not Agostini Several Williamstown Republicans and Democratic leaders yesterday agreed in varying degrees that the nomination of Henry Cabot Lodge was, as one put it, shot in the arm" for Republicans on the Massachusetts state In Grass Roots Some felt this would manifest itself primarily in more grass roots activity in support of local Republican candidates. Others said this, more vitally, would focus local attention through the state level to the national issues, and the national candidates.

One Democrat felt this might have a reverse effect, to the benefit of Democrats, forcing Sen. Kennedy land and achieve "still greater campaign fore in a New Engsupport." Richrad A. Hunter, chairman the Town Republican Committee, and Mrs. Edward J. Coughlin president of the Berkshire County Women's Republican Club, felt the Lodge nomination, besides helping "combat the Kennedy clan," in Massachusetts would on the national scene make still more, foreign affairs major campaign topic.

Mr. Hunter noted that "the experience of Lodge in the United Nations unquestionably adds to Nixon's international abilities and the assistance of the Eisenhower image, still popular." Compares Parties Mrs. Coughlin, when asked, about the tenor of this week's convention, compared the parties by saying, "While the Democrats constantly emphasized the welfare state appeal to the weakness in us, Nixon and Lodge gave us pride for encouragement to go on. And as one speech pointed out, the Republicans the the nation unfeasibility carrying of one two-thirds." third Frank Agostini, a former chairman of the Williamstown Town Democratic Town Committee, disagreed in toto and said, "The Republican Party this week showed it has again refused accept the challenges of the 20th Century. They would prefer lose with Nixon than win with Rockefeller through this outdated thinking.

Half the time this week on television I thought Lincoln was running." Atty. William I. Sabin, present chairman of the Democratic group, remarked that Mr. Lodge's nomination would heighten interest of both parties Massachusetts, now boasting national ticket candidates. "This will be a tough struggle in this state, but Kennedy will definitely now give more attention to New England and Massachusetts, where he previously planned making just the last campaign stop." THE TRANSCRIPT of night, on the Williamstown page, carried the following headline, "Police Probing Removal of Brick From Boys' Club." This headline in itself was not too alarming until one read that the brick in question were being dug out of the rear wall of the building, which is town owned, and carted off.

If the bricks taken had been in a pile or strewn about the rear yard of the building, the matter would not be nearly so serious. This is not the first time brick have been removed from the rear wall, according to official reports, a larger number having been dug out of the wall and removed in 1958. This very week, while the town owned building was suffering malicious damage, town funds were being expended in repairing the main entrance to the building. More town funds, raised by the taxpayers of the town, have already been allotted to improve the Cole Avenue front of the building. THE BOYS' CLUB building was formerly one of Williamstown's schools and several years ago, after it had been used as club house for many years, the School Committee relinquished control of the building and turned it over to the Selectmen.

The Boys' Club has been allowed to continue to use the building under the Selectmen, but each year the requests for town funds to repair the building have increased. Thus far the town officials have been, it must be admitted, pretty niggardly in recommending funds for the upkeep of the former school, but this is readily understandable as the directors of the Boys' Club seem unable to properly supervise the property. The removal of brick from the rear wall is only one incident. The yard in front of the building is a year round disgrace. Several years ago a hedge was planted in front of the building.

This hedge is now overgrown in spots while in other places it is broken down and generally a mess. THIS SPRING town employes, at the taxpayers' expense, were assigned to cleaning up the yard in front of the building. However, a once or twice a year clean-up is not enough, and if the yard and building are to be maintained it must be a. constant chore. There should be no need, however, for the town to have to pay for this sort of work out of tax dollars.

If the town permits the Boys' Club to have the use of the building, without rent, then the officials of the Boys' Club should have sufficient interest in the building to at least keep the interior and exterior in order, even though the Boys' Club, in itself, has no money for major repairs. It takes only energy and a little interest to pull up weeds and keep a hedge trimmed and in order. The policing of the grounds and buildings should definitely be a project for the club members, as it is only through assigning responsibility to the youngsters can develop responsibility. It is not fair to abutting property owners, who endeavor to maintain their properties in a suitable condition, to permit a blight such as the Boys' Club property to continue. Cole Avenue is a growing business area as well as an area of homes.

Allowing the Boys' Club to continue in its present state is no incentive to residents of the area to improve property, or to business to settle in the area. THE SUGGESTION was advanced late last year that the Boys' Club building be converted into town offices as the present town office space, all of which is rented, is no longer adequate.

While the suggestion, first made publicly by Selectman Charles Dean, found support in some quarters, particularly from Town Manager J. Maynard officials Austin and some other town know what a handicap they are working under at present, larger number, if one is to take cognizance of remarks generally made, were inclinued to favor town offices on Main Street while some remarks tended to cast discredit on the Cole Avenue site as not being in a desriable neighborhood. The fact the town cannot afford to build a new municipal building on Main Street while it could afford to remodel the old school house into more than adequate town offices, must be reckoned with. If one cannot afford -what one would like, then one, and this goes for towns as well as people, should like what one can afford. WHILE THE Boys' Club building continues to deteriorate under Boys' Club occupation the town goes on paying out money year after year in rentals for office space that is not only, inadequate in area, but because these offices are in different locations, also most inefficient, and therefor doubly costly.

There are many other reasons why the conversion of the present Boys' Club building into town offices is to be desired. The conversion would provide for suitable detention rooms for use by the police. At present anyone arrested by the local police, and not obtaining bail, must be taken to the Berkshire County Jail in Pittsfield and then brought back the next day to Williamstown for court. The conversion would also provide one central office. and storage space for small parts for the Water Department.

NO ONE knowing Williamstown can honestly say the Boys' Club is living up to its potentialities. One of the reasons for this failure could well be the present quarters are not conducive to a "good" club. Certainly facilities for a proper club are sadly lacking. Two problems could be solved if the town officials and club officials both were to display little initiative at the same time. The club officials could undertake to provide better club facilities and the town could solve its housing problem, a at an expense the town can bear, by taking over the present club house.
