...Konrad Adenauer has so often changed his mind about retiring as West German Chancellor that his repeated private promise to step down next autumn was usually greeted with the cynical refrain that "fall will be a little late this year." But last week, on a nationwide German television hookup, der Alte at last stated publicly that he would step down "on schedule." Declared Adenauer: "I have often said that I will seek my retirement in October or November 1963. What I have declared will remain unchanged." Bonn politicians took heart. Not once in the program did he mention the word...
Until last week Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's Christian Democrats had won a majority among the rural, conservative voters of Rhineland-Palatinate in every election since the West German Republic was founded in 1949. But the latest vote for the state legislature gave the C.D.U. only 46 of 100 seats, and 44.4% of the popular vote, a loss of 4% since the 1959 election.

...Gaulle's most prominent foe. ex-Premier Georges Bidault, now a ranking S.A.O. chieftain, was as publicly defiant as ever. He could afford to be, for he was now holed up in southern Germany, where, after a nervous brushoff by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, he sought political asylum from the state of Bavaria. Bathed in publicity and surrounded by police, he obviously was not doing his resistance organization much concrete good in a distant German villa...
