West Germany's Konrad Adenauer, though previously committed to far-reaching European union, enthusiastically endorsed the idea after a conference with Fanfani earlier this month, now argues that it is the only immediately practical approach. With France and Italy. West Germany last week urged the Common Market's three other nations to commit themselves to confederation in a special treaty when they meet in Rome in June...

These days, he makes no secret of his deep dissatisfaction with Western leadership. Der Alte urged the U.S., through visiting Attorney General Robert Kennedy, to limit the scope of this month's 18-nation disarmament talks in Geneva; he fears East and West will start bargaining over Germany if the discussion of disarmament bogs down.

Since then, the picture changed, partly because things looked quieter at Berlin-at least for a while. In the latest poll. Erhard-whom der Alte usually treats like an office boy-is now the first choice for Chancellor, with 28%, while Adenauer is down...
