...notes to Moscow, the U.S., Britain and France had all indicated their willingness to have "advisers" from both East and West Germany present at a Big-Four conference. This was clearly a concession to Russia's insistence that reunification of Germany must be negotiated directly between the West German government and East Germany's Communist bosses. And last week Eleanor Dulles, sister of John Foster and an official of the State Department's "German Desk," pointedly stated in a Wisconsin speech that "new plans for the relations of the two parts of Germany and Berlin" might...
Despite the unending stream of 300 refugees a day out of East Germany, the economic conditions in the busy East German colony have lately improved. Last week a West German economic study showed that 9 out of every 100 East German families now have cars, as compared with 14 per 100 in prosperous West Germany. Nonetheless, most Western observers believe that the risk of an uprising that could shake the whole Soviet bloc remains too great for Khrushchev to seriously consider relaxing the Russian hold on East Germany...
...Borinage mines are small, obsolete and uneconomic. As in the U.S.'s depressed Harlan County, Ky. (TIME, Feb. 23), coal seams are ever deeper and narrower, and the extraction cost is far above that of the big, modernized mines in the German Ruhr.

The formation of the six-nation European Coal and Steel Community-creating a common market in these products in France, Italy, West Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg-finally forced...
...from reference books, in legible longhand and in ink. The exercise was part of his schoolwork, but such assignments are hardly the usual fare for Minnesota second-graders. Neither are some of the topics the bright, assertive boy tackles with no apparent harm-parts of speech and sentence structure, German, geography, fractions, mythology and poetry (Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg) and chess...
...where he got instruction in such matters as "language arts and social studies, whatever that means," Mary Krai recalls with scorn-his parents refused to send him back. Instead, they set up a stiff, 5½-day-a-week curriculum for the boy, taught all the courses themselves except German. They are well enough qualified to do so; they are college graduates, and Mary Krai has held teaching certificates from Nebraska and Colorado. Her 35-year-old husband was trained as a chemist, now heads the Minneapolis Mining & Manufacturing Co.'s applied mathematics & statistics department...
