With remarkable speed that was attributed, in part at least, to Chris Herter, the U.S., Britain, France and West Germany had reached fast agreement on a compromise package (see FOREIGN NEWS) to put up to U.S.S.R. Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Geneva next week. Essentially, the plan was based on the U.S. intention to work toward free elections in Germany and to stay in Berlin.

...Honest John missiles were in training last week, one impressive indication that the slow-starting Bundeswehr is at last getting going. A new urgency in the planning suggests that dynamic Defense Minister Franz-Josef Strauss (now on an inspection tour of the U.S.) is well aware that any summit agreement to freeze armaments in central Europe would leave West Germany in the cold...
