...Bonn, Ike's 23-hour stay was a political windfall for canny old Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his Christian Democratic Party. German Socialists dourly noted the President's airport remark that "in my country the name Adenauer has come to symbolize the determination of the German people to remain strong and free," complained that it was interference in German politics. The pollsters predicted that Adenauer's electoral strength would soar; it was bitter medicine for der Alte's enemies, who predicted his political downfall three months ago during the tussle with Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard...

...Poland, where anti-German feeling still runs high and subservience to Moscow remains a law of life, the only audible answer to all these German overtures was a snarl of Communist fury. Standing in a drizzling rain to address an anniversary gathering of 20.000 people, Poland's Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz cried that Adenauer hopes "to drive a wedge between Poland and the Soviet Union." As for Adenauer's claim that Germany's final repudiation of Hitler was demonstrated by German cheers last week for Dwight Eisenhower, "the victorious army leader against Hitler's Germany," that, said...

...East German Central Institute for Atomic Physics chose a new deputy director at a salary of $20,160 a year. German-born, British-trained, with unique experience in his field, he was the obvious man for the job: Communist Spy Klaus Emil Fuchs, 47, onetime head of the theoretical physics department at Britain's Harwell Atomic Energy Research Establishment, who slipped atom-bomb secrets to Russian agents, was caught and imprisoned in 1950. Released 2½ months ago, Fuchs flew to East Berlin, was made a citizen of East Germany almost as soon as the wheels hit the runway...

Oceanographers have long considered the Mid-Atlantic Ridge about the most interesting single feature of the ocean bottom. According to the original theory of continental drift, which was presented by German Geologist Alfred Wegener in 1920, the ridge was made of material left behind when North and South America broke away from Europe and Africa, and the chasm between them widened to form the Atlantic. The ridge reflects the shape of the shores on both sides of it, and it emphasizes the remarkable fact that if the New World were pushed eastward, it would fit with some precision into...

...swift spread of stock ownership is even more striking on the Continent. In West Germany, the Adenauer government is plowing ahead with its plan to "reprivatize" a $1 billion industrial empire inherited from the Nazis. Last spring the government sold the giant Preussag mining combine to 216,000 new German stockholders limited to annual incomes of $3,800 or less. In one sweep of a pen, the total number of German stockholders was increased by a third, to around 800,000. Determined to have a competitive private-enterprise economy, the government is now planning to sell off the great Volkswagen...
