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.

At 86, after 13 years as Chancellor, Adenauer still relishes the power that came to him so late in life-and, though he has agreed in writing to step down in the fall of 1963, he is now looking for a way to cling to that power a little longer...
