...staff driver in Berlin is 52-year-old Fritz Bense, who started to work with TIME almost nine years ago, has since logged some 300,000 miles and has worked his way through seven staff cars without an accident. He is a particularly prudent driver, says Bureau Chief Frank White, while traveling in Berlin's Red-occupied East sector, where Germans who are caught violating traffic laws have a way of disappearing. For the heavy-traveling Bonn bureau there are three drivers: Wilhelm Hauner, former chauffeur of a Tiger tank in a German Panzer divi sion ; Heinz Koperski...
Beaten and humiliated, the Socialists would have been prudent to retire to do some badly needed homework on colonial geography. But they pressed the fight, switching the battleground to the Protectorate of Uganda, where Lyttelton fortnight ago dethroned King Mutesa II (TIME, Dec. 14). The Socialists tabled a motion of censure: "That this House expresses its grave disquiet at the handling of affairs in Africa."

Beset by denazification tribunals, forbidden by the occupation to make plans, the aircraft manufacturers switched their lines to make a living: Messerschmitt turned to midget automobiles; Dornier fell back upon his construction interests in Spain and Switzerland; Heinkel put out machine tools and motor scooters from his Stuttgart factory. Two months ago, they formed an "Aero Union" to handle orders that might be coming from NATO, but thanks to the ban, and to French and British opposition to German rearmament, no orders came...

Said shrewd, ambitious Ernst Heinkel, once a top bomber-builder: "Germany is too far behind and too poor to attempt developing its own aircraft. But Germany could well play her part in the Western defense program" by making parts (e.g., optical instruments) for Western aircraft...
...relegated to the second team its most effective weapon in the Pacific melee-the submarine. Perhaps some boning up on naval history will remind the Navy that both the Kaiser and Hitler came very close to winning two entirely different world conflicts with the U-boat ... It would be prudent and appropriate for the Navy to put at least equal emphasis on undersea warfare that it is now placing on aviation...
