Erhard had a candidate of his own who could probably have beaten Lücke: able, industrious C.D.U. Party Manager Josef-Hermann Dufhues, 57. But last week Dufhues announced that for "personal" reasons, he would not run for the post. For lack of any other suitable Erhard man, der Dicke last week was grimacing at the prospect that he might have to take over the C.D.U. chairmanship and become a politician in spite of himself...
...Berlin's Deutsche Oper and Conductor Hermann Scherchen have brought Moses and Aaron out of the wilderness. Last week the Deutsche Oper's 318-member traveling company performed it for the first time in Rome. The staging, obviously, was an unrealistic but no less gripping realization of Schoenberg's directions.

The man who will head TIME'S first European ad office, which will be located in Zurich and operate Europe-wide, is Hermann Hirzel who, being a Swiss, is fluent in several languages. The new office will provide advice and counsel to new accounts, especially those without representation in the U.S., and solicit advertising for the national and regional editions of TIME...
Died. Othmar Hermann Ammann, 86, master bridge builder, a Swiss-born engineer who pursued a lifelong vision of graceful suspension bridges linking major U.S. arteries, designed and built New York's George Washington, Triborough and new Verrazano-Narrows bridges and played a major role in the construction of San Francisco's Golden Gate and Delaware's Memorial bridges; after a brief illness...
