...Bonn last week scholarly, white-haired Professor Theodor Heuss, 75, stepped down after serving his constitutional limit of two five-year terms in the largely honorific office of President of West Germany. By so doing, he added a page to German history: never before had the German people witnessed the spectacle of an elected chief of state peaceably surrendering power to his duly elected successor...

Unforgivingly, the Chancellor has kept track of anti-German blasts in Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express and the tasteless comments of Daily Mirror Correspondent Cassandra (William Neil Connor)-who last week compared Adenauer's attitude on Berlin negotiations to "the rigidity of Hitler at Munich...
