Nonsense About Neutrality. There were two items on the agenda: 1) the Paris accords proper, restoring German sovereignty and inviting rearmament in NATO, and 2) the much-abused Saar agreement, signed by Adenauer and Mendès-France (TIME, Nov. 1). The Paris accords came first, and at once the Socialists weighed in with the made-in-Moscow argument that they have chosen to regard as their own: ratification of rearmament means the end of all hope of German reunification. Ex-Communist Herbert Wehner, 48, mastermind of the Socialist left wing (TIME, Feb. 28), talked up a Geneva-style conference...
Kristallnachtt (Crystal Night) was the Germans' name for the night of Nov. 11, 1938. On that night Hitler's SS and the SA bullies tore through Berlin and broke the windows of nearly every Jewish shop in the city. Fourteen synagogues and 25 prayer rooms in what is now West Berlin were set afire. Last week, after years of fitful negotiation, the city of West Berlin settled for the damages. To the Jewish Restitution Successor Organizations and the Jewish Community will go 9,600,000 Deutsch marks ($2,280,000). The city also agreed to forgive payment...
Enrico Mattei, handsome boss of Italy's big Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi state oil and gas monopoly (TIME, Nov. 29), flew across the Atlantic last week to make a deal that will give his country its first doorway into the synthetic-rubber industry. In Manhattan, Mattei signed contracts with Phillips Petroleum Co. and Union Carbide & Carbon Corp. for their processes and help in building a $75 million synthetic-rubber plant at Ravenna, in the Po Valley. It will turn out 35,000 tons of GR-S rubber and 350,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer annually from nearby methane deposits...
Carmen Jones. Red-hot and black Carmen, with Dorothy Dandridge putting the torch to Bizet's babe, and Pearl Bailey hoarsing around in the wide-screen wings (TIME, Nov...
...awarded by an all-woman jury), and more than 60 novels by women were thought to have enough merit to become candidates for the major literary awards. In a class by themselves are the prizewinning historical studies-51-year-old Marguerite Yourcenar's Hadrian's Memoirs (TIME, Nov. 29) and 38-year-old Zoé Oldenbourg's The Cornerstone (TIME, Jan. 10). But, like Colette, few of the ladies write historicals or go to libraries for material. They supply their own, proving themselves much bolder practitioners of the entre-les-draps (between-the-sheets) school of literature...
