Germany's Konrad Adenauer was almost openly pro-Nixon during the campaign-his fears of Democratic "flexibility" on Berlin could not be laid to rest despite Kennedy's tough line. Adenauer adjusted smoothly to the outcome. "Thank God the election is over," he cried. "We need have no worries. A steady continuation of American policy will be maintained." A top French official worried privately about "the men around Kennedy-they seem overexcited about Africa and Asia. There's no one with a close connection with the European problem." But the French generally welcomed what they thought would...
...rate of $1 billion a year, now stand at $7.34 billion, more than double Britain's holdings. For four years, the Western allies have been pressing the Germans to channel some of this burgeoning wealth into foreign aid to underdeveloped lands. But Bonn answered with excuses: in 1957, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer protested he could not strain his budget in an election year; in 1958, it was a brief recession; since then, only a pittance has been produced, none of it very philanthropic...

But, although Konrad Adenauer would be able to protest that another election is coming up, it looked as if the Germans might be hooked for at least some contribution. Reporting the impending Dillon-Anderson visit, Hamburg's Die Welt commented gloomily: "The Federal Government is disturbed . . . giving up money seems inevitable...
...stout anti-Nazi, Frenzel chaired the Bundestag committee on restitution to victims of Naziism and last week in the Bundeshaus gave such an eloquent address on the topic that Chancellor Konrad Adenauer rose to say: "Herr Frenzel, you have done us a great service." A few minutes later Alfred Frenzel was arrested as a Communist...
