Born. To Max Adenauer, 45, son of West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, and Gisela Klein Adenauer: the Chancellor's 16th grandchild; in Cologne, West Germany. Name: Ursula...

Longtime traffickers in human souls, the Communists offered to ship some 10,000 prisoners of war home to Germany, if Adenauer would accept one Russian.

Under lackluster Dr. Hubert Ney, 62, the pro-German Christian Democrats (an offshoot of Konrad Adenauer's West German C.D.U.) rolled up 25.4% of the vote. The Social Democrats took a beating (14.3% of the vote), trailing far behind the supernationalist right-wing Democrats (24.2%), under ex-Nazi Heinrich Schneider.

All barge permits, said Neues Deutschland, East Germany's Pravda, would be terminated Dec. 31, and "Bonn authorities will have to file applications for renewal." Was this the beginning of another Berlin blockade? Many West Berliners feared so; and their concern over the barge traffic was increased by the fact that the British too, like the Russians, had quietly withdrawn their supervision...
