BERLIN, November 6--Side by side on the bulletin board of the new, modern post office in Augsburg, West Germany, are two notices. One is a brightly-colored poster showing scenes from East and West Germany under the bold legend: "Germany Indivisible." The other is an unobtrusive little card which announces that Soviet Zone authorities will not accept postal matter bearing the Federal Republic's "refugee stamp...
Across the room Augsburg's citizens, many of whom still have relatives and friends in East Germany, stream up to the stamp windows. And with a realism born of ten years' experience, they purchase not the refugee stamp--which pictures men and women fleeing west from the Iron Curtain--but the standard one portraying the cherubic face of Federal President Theodore Heuss...
Semantic Denials. Unabashed, Pastor Crist tried to justify many of his denials by semantics (on the Ascension: "Ascend means to go up ... Where is up?"), insisted that all his teachings constituted "a permissible point of view within the Lutheran Church."

He flashed word to Goring that the new plane, with its 500 m.p.h. speed, could end air attacks on the German heartland. Hitler, in what many Western airmen would now call one of the critical decisions of World War II, refused to permit emergency development of the plane because "the Luftwaffe had disappointed him too often in the past with promises" of new developments. Later, piling blunder on blunder, Hitler ordered the new fighter...
