...down Hesse and Bavaria, the two men went last week, Dehler smashing china, Adenauer picking up the pieces. Der Alte no longer had much patience for his impulsive ally. Dehler had given an interview to the Yugoslav Communist organ Politika, saying that he would agree to Communist-run "unfree elections" in the East zone if, by so doing, Germany could be unified. Said Adenauer to an applauding Munich crowd: Dehler's "statement is ... a distinct disservice to Germany." Dehler then accused Adenauer of a "giveaway" of Germany's national rights in the Saar; Adenauer countered by accusing Dehler...

When he found that the church maintained a chapel for poorer parishioners who could not afford to rent pews in the church proper, Dr. Coffin closed the chapel, abolished the pew rents and merged the two congregations. He often took a portable organ to tenement districts to hold services for workers who came home at 2 a.m. "You do not go into religion head first," he once said.

Graham's meetings, like his neckties, are less noisy than they used to be. Sounding brass and tinkling cymbal have been replaced by straight choir singing, with a simple organ and piano accompaniment. As the audience arrives (babies may be left in special nurseries known to the Graham staff as "bawl rooms"), Choir Leader Cliff Barrows is warming up the singers. Song books are passed around to the crowd; then Barrows invites the audience to sing, swinging a glittering trombone; Bass-Baritone Bev Shea goes into action with a few oldtime-religion songs, and the collection and an invocation...
