Adenauer himself had urged that the election not be held in West Berlin, lest it give provocation to the Soviets. Similarly, the U.S. had suggested that the votes of West Berlin's own electors be dropped into a separate urn to underline the city's position as a four-power occupied area; on this "special status" of Berlin hangs much of the Western legal argument at Geneva. But the boss of West Germany's Bundestag, Eugen Ger-stenmaier, capturing the mood of many patriots, was determined to dramatize the opposite-that West Berlin indeed is part...
...that their much-prized German nationality may cost them as much as 20% of their pay after taxes. Such complaints led some West German newspapers, in commenting on the "Little Reunification" with the Saar, to ask soberly whether 17 million East Germans might one day be similarly reluctant to give up Communist welfare privileges for a free economy with higher living standards but lacking some state social security benefits. The difference is that the Saar is merely exchanging French rule for German rule, whereas East Germans would be switching from totalitarianism to something of great price: freedom...
Last week, with this in mind, the U.S. decided to give him the kind of public backing it has hitherto withheld. To Paris flew U.S. Information Agency Chief George V. Allen to address the 50th anniversary session of the Comité France-Amerique. Said Allen: "We believe General de Gaulle epitomizes much of the greatness, the strength of purpose and the high dignity of France. We are immensely heartened by the restored political stability and economic equilibrium of France." He praised "your initiative in creating another community, that of the eleven African states and Madagascar with France, which has also...
Though asked to lay down their arms, the Communists are not prepared to give up their struggle. They are in the delicate position of supporting Kassem's regime while trying to capture it. Last week, ignoring Kassem's pointed request that party activities cease, the Communists announced formation of a National Union Front, which includes themselves, fellow travelers from Kurdish parties, and what they called some dissident elements from the National Democratic Party (which had taken Kassem's hint and ceased politicking). On behalf of this Front, the Communists were once again demanding seats in the Cabinet...
Unless the triumphant Los Alamos men decide to give Kiwi-A a second full-power run, last week's test will probably be its finish. After a few days, when radioactivity dies down somewhat, the unshielded reactor will be hauled along a railroad track by a remote-controlled locomotive to a special MAD (Maintenance, Assembly and Disassembly) shop, where mechanical hands will take it apart. The condition of its still deadly interior parts (examined by periscope, TV, or through thick, transparent shields) will tell the Los Alamos men much about how to build nuclear rockets that actually...
