...thrift holiday cut some 500,000 Ohio depositors off from a total of $4 billion in savings. "The longer this goes on, the scareder I am," said Mary Lou Dehler of Cincinnati, who with her husband Richard, a retired postal worker, had accounts in Molitor Loan & Building. "My stomach just rolls over. They have got my whole life in that bank." The financial suffering in Ohio rattled consumers across the U.S. and worried foreign investors as well. In a classic sign of anxiety, moneymen bid up the price of gold by $35.70 last Tuesday, to $339 an ounce...
...want fresh negotiations with the Russians, since this would inevitably involve discussion of West Germany's role in NATO and the future boundaries of a united Germany. Cruelly accurate, Rusk's words touched off a storm. In Bonn, the Free Democrats' Bundestag Vice President Thomas Dehler warned that Germany was being "sacrificed" to Atlantic policy. Christian Democrat Parliamentary Leader Rainer Barzel cried that Germany might "go it alone" if pushed too far by its allies. Erhard himself was reported upset and worried, and amid celebrations last week for former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's 89th birthday...
...Leader. Last week by unanimous vote Free Democrat bosses picked a new leader: sly, stubborn Stuttgart Lawyer Reinhold Maier, 67. Taking over from tactless Thomas Dehler, whose head-down charges in futile quest of East-West unity ("we must take , the Russians at their word") have scared off many followers, Maier is an old-style anticlerical German "liberal," paunchy, frugal and folksy.

...with a powerful chest and wide shoulders, he walks with the stiff gait of a Bavarian peasant. His eyes are small and blue, and his head is square and massive, with thick, dark blond hair. "He has the manners of the Munich Tal," says Free Democrat Leader Thomas Dehler (the Tal is Munich's slum district). But inside Franz Josef Strauss's square head is a fast-thinking brain gifted with a photographic memory. His bachelor apartment near Bonn, his office and his automobile are jampacked with books, which he reads voraciously and from which he can often...
When Thomas Dehler, leader of the second-largest party in Adenauer's coalition, demanded "a German foreign policy" and bilateral negotiations with the Russians, Adenauer on his sickbed could not contain himself. He dashed off a letter demanding that Dehler recant and swear allegiance to Adenauer's policy. It was an appalling political error, the first sign that the sick old man was losing his legendary political instinct. Dehler had been slipping, but faced with such a humiliating ultimatum, a majority of his party rallied to him, and deserted the coalition. Adenauer's once-massive 334-vote...
