...only fitting in a nation that prides itself on scientific social organization, the rampage was carefully controlled. Early in the week the Soviet press published meticulous accounts of the damage -mainly broken windows-inflicted on the Soviet embassy in Bonn by German students protesting the execution of Hungarian Revolutionaries Imre Nagy and Pal Maleter. Next day 2,000 Russian students and workers appeared before the West German embassy on Moscow's Bolshoi Gruzinskaya Street and began to hurl stones, chunks of concrete and bottles of purple ink. By the time they dispersed two hours later, the ink-stained...
...unparalleled since the Hungarian revolt itself. Italian Foreign Minister Giuseppe Pella withdrew his nation's Minister to Budapest, refused to consent to the appointment of a new Hungarian Minister to Rome. In Montevideo students hurled a gasoline bomb at the Soviet embassy, and Russian missions in New Zealand, Bonn, Istanbul and Copenhagen were all stoned.

...pass up a chance to point their Red fingers at the former Nazis holding some 20% of the places in West Germany's Bundestag, and the two former Nazi Party cardholders in Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's Cabinet.

Reportedly, the Germans explained that their recent $100 million troop-cost settlement with Britain (TIME, April 28) was simply an act of mutual aid to a NATO ally in economic difficulties and hence could not be regarded as a precedent for further payments to the U.S. The theory...
...agreed not to dun them for before the German elections. The elections have come and gone, but the money is yet to be seen. As Britain and France have cut their NATO manpower, and West Germany has at last begun to contribute its own troops to the alliance, Bonn has stiffened its attitude -on support costs, which many Germans choose to call "occupation costs." Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss, an open foe of support payments, has even implied that if his government does agree to any payments, he will cancel large chunks of his ministry's several hundred million...
