...C.D.U. only 46 of 100 seats, and 44.4% of the popular vote, a loss of 4% since the 1959 election. The Socialists, by contrast, moved up from 37 seats to 43 in the conservative stronghold, taking 40.7% of the vote, a gain of nearly 6%. Cried Socialist Spokesman Fritz Barsig: "The ice is finally broken...

Unfortunately, Eric VonSchmidt has temporarily withdrawn from the local coffe-house scene. An added attraction is the Club 47's house bass player Fritz Richmond who gets more music out of a washtup than most bass-men do out of a string bass. It is well worth a trip just to hear Richmond...
