Restrictions Voluntary. Campaigning last week in a provincial election in Schleswig-Holstein, Konrad Adenauer came out strongly for an end of the Allied occupation of West Germany and for unfettered German sovereignty. "We ask this," said der Alte, "for our national honor and our justifiable national feelings."

...Carnation's evaporated-milk business, which provided roughly one-third of its $318 million gross last year, depends on steady advances in U.S. dairy methods. On Carnation Milk Farms, a 1,400-acre show place in Washington's Snoqualmie Valley where Carnation has bred more prizewinning Holstein cows than any other U.S. breeder, only purebreds are allowed.

In 1950 he ran up 23% of the vote in local elections in Schleswig-Holstein. BHE might win 40 to 50 seats in the Bundestag...
...bleak heathland of Schleswig-Holstein, since the war, witches have been abroad. In one village a woman has been accused of bewitching her neighbors' cows; schoolchildren in another village created a problem by ostracizing one of their classmates, whose mother, they insisted, was a witch...
