Provoking the outcry was a rumble that started in Bonn fortnight ago when rebellious members of the Bundestag rounded up enough votes to reverse the government's cancellation of a juicy $20 million Soviet pipe order. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer rushed back home from a Lake Como vacation on the eve of the balloting, managed to avoid humiliating defeat only by ordering his Christian Democrats to stay off the floor, thus causing the lack of a quorum.

Bonn officials clearly feel the way is open for similar deals with Hungary and Czechoslovakia...

"I believe these things have been committed not only by Britain but by others as well," he sighed. Was any of it committed on the River Seine? asked a reporter.
