...coalition since its founding in 1949, still bitterly oppose recognition of East Germany. "The Free Democrats," charged C.D.U. Deputy Ernest Miiller-Hermann, "are a band of guerrilla fighters who do the bidding of the other side behind the backs of the government." Warning against a sellout to the Communists, Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger derisively tagged the Free Democrats as the "Anerkennungspartei"-party of recognition. The Christian Democrats argue that recognition would imperil the security of isolated West Berlin by undermining the allied guarantees for the city, legalize the Communist hold on East Germany and sanction the permanent division of the country...
...Interior prepared 29 million pamphlets explaining the referendum-one for every voter in France. Applying what has always before been the clinching argument, Minister of State Roger Frey drew a frightening picture of a France without De Gaulle: "To vote no or to abstain is to vote for the Communist Party, to compromise France's economic recovery, and to sabotage the defense of the franc...
...live near Briare seem more indifferent than the villagers. Maurice Vanjan, who keeps 50 cows on 50 hectares, says his ballot will be blank.

In Laos, such reconnoitered targets usually come under quick air attack; U.S. bombers fly about 300 sorties a day into that country with the tacit approval of neutralist Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma...
...Cambodia, where the U.S. does not bomb, except for tactical strikes against gun positions that fire into South Viet Nam, the patrols carry out scouting and occasional sabotage against Communist bases. There is no military coordination as such between the allies and the 35,000-man Cambodian army. But along parts of the border, the two sides have reached "local accommodations"-including at least one instance of Cambodian artillery support for a beleaguered South Vietnamese outpost. Some intelligence information has also been exchanged. Indeed, Cambodian troops have been involved in small skirmishes with Communist forces. For all that, Sihanouk...
