...Berlin. All this is forgotten. "The free world has a leader again," exulted Cologne's Neue Rhein Zeitung-and it didn't mean Adenauer. Frankfurter Allgemeine lauded Kennedy's Cabinet picking as "a masterpiece of natural political talent." Even Kennedy's firm demand that Bonn hike its contribution to help stanch the U.S. gold drain was accepted with equanimity. Bonn's earlier proposal of help, admitted the Frankfurter Rundschau, had really been "an insignificant concession...
...Ambassador to Czechoslovakia who helped organize the Soviet plot that converted the Czechs' wobbly democracy into an armed dictatorship and that very possibly helped Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk "fall" to his death in the courtyard of the Czech Foreign Ministry. He has served as Ambassador to Bonn, more recently stonewalled the West in the interminable disarmament talks in Geneva. Lacking the vulpine brilliance of Andrei Vishinsky but more animated than the dead-faced Andrei Gromyko, and probably less able than either, Zorin is now rated No. 3 man in the Soviet Foreign Ministry, where he has been Deputy Foreign...
Dismayed Ally. In 1958 there was a rash of 18 forgeries. One, an ingeniously planted U.S. diplomatic dispatch, purportedly came from Elim O'Shaughnessy, then chief of the political section of the U.S. Embassy in Bonn. It counseled the backing of neofascist groups in West Germany that were known to be plumping for the return of Alsace-Lorraine to the fatherland. Though false, the "document" created real dismay at the Quai d'Orsai...

When von Brentano reaches Washington, Kennedy will have to be blunt. The immediate root of Bonn's difficulties is not Berlin, but Germany's refusal to assume its share of the West's financial burden. In return for the guarantees Kennedy is prepared to offer on Berlin, he must insist on systematic German contributions for economic assistance to underdeveloped countries. The United States is in for a prolonged recession, no matter what Erhardt says, and it is time for the Germans to pick up some of the West's checks...
