Just Keeping Busy. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer growled no to almost the entire list of suggestions. He seemed more receptive than before to the idea of an inter national access authority, but he thought the plebiscite idea was just plain silly, utterly rejected the idea of making West Berlin a part of West Germany and stationing Bonn troops there. Adenauer's reasoning: any West German participation in the defense of Berlin will undermine the concept of four-power occupation control of the city, which, fiction or not, he still considers the basis of Western presence in Berlin...
Interrupting a Lake Como holiday. Konrad Adenauer hurried home last week for the funeral of one of his oldest friends. Cologne Banker Robert Pferdmenges, 82. To another man, the occasion might have served as a reminder of his own advancing years, but not to der Alte. At 86, after 13 years as Chancellor, Adenauer still relishes the power that came to him so late in life-and, though he has agreed in writing to step down in the fall of 1963, he is now looking for a way to cling to that power a little longer...

Said he: "In the depths of my soul, I feel how significant and gripping are my presence on your soil and my contact with your country...
...Have Stood Fast." Only four months ago Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was saying that Britain would not join unless Europe made "the way easy for us" (see cartoon). Now, as Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer hobnobbed in West Germany, it was plain that the road would be at best a rocky one. An outcry against Common Market membership from Prime Ministers of the "Old Dominions"-Canada's John Diefenbaker. New Zealand's Keith Holyoake. Australia's Robert Menzies-could bring Tory fortunes crashing. Menzies was notably less belligerent than he had been earlier this year, saying...
