Five weeks after his landslide victory in the general election, Konrad Adenauer last week was re-elected Chancellor for a new four-year term, by a Bundestag vote of 304 to 148. His 156-vote majority gives Adenauer one of the strongest parliamentary mandates of any leader in Western Europe...
European Defense Community. Long after most European statesmen had written off the EDC plan for an international European army, Dulles continued to plug for it. His stubbornness began to bear fruit last month when West Germany showed its growing strength and political stability by re-electing Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, a strong EDC partisan.

Konrad Adenauer began deliberately advertising his willingness to make concessions over the disputed Saar, even though they might cost him support in the nationally minded Bundestag. Britain, which has guaranteed French security on five separate occasions since 1945 ("Ever since I was a small boy," said one bored Foreign Office man), did it again. A British minister, said Whitehall, will sit in on the debates of EDC's governing...
