A newspaper critic complains about the "pernicious Negroid wailings" of an unnamed group of young Englishmen from Liverpool who are playing to packed audiences of German youths in Hamburg. But Adolf Hitler is still hale, for a man of 75; and in the U.S., President Joseph Kennedy, also 75, is planning a state visit to Berlin to quiet rumors of supposed Nazi human-rights violations against Jews during the war. His trip will make clear the solidly...
