...Hand. Last week this half-hidden conflict cracked the disciplined front of Socialism and opened the way for a decisive change in the 90-year-old party's leadership. Party Chairman Erich Ollenhauer, 58, the colorless compromiser who has held his post through two smashing election defeats precisely because the party could not make up its mind about its future, abruptly announced that he was stepping down as a candidate for Chancellor next time.

So, between the nasal cartoon witticisms of Bert and Harry Piel and the prizewinning Calo Cat & Dog Food commercial (TIME, Oct. 6), Californians were treated to a half-hour of sales pitches for products they may never get a chance to buy.
