There was no suggestion of the intimidated, the vanquished or the bidden about Konrad Adenauer's visit. The Germans traveled east with a showy, if not disdainful, display of self-reliance. A gleaming, 13-car train, a "chancellery on wheels," pulled in the day before carrying a huge entourage, with the Germans' own communications, their own police, Mercedes sedans, and huge stocks of their own food (sauerkraut, sausages, choice wines). Even the motorized gangway that pulled up to the door of Adenauer's Super Constellation had been shipped in ahead...
...words rebounded to a high mountain crag 85 miles away, where West Germany's vacationing Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had installed himself in the little village of Mürren, to be near the conference.

In his haste, Chancellor Adenauer, a democrat at heart but sometimes an autocrat in practice, had demanded a blank check from the Bundestag (TIME, July 11). Last week the Bundestag gave the chancellor a salutary lesson...
