During most of his tour as CNO he had been an unpopular figure-a man his superiors considered to be "safe" and whom Navy extremists considered a puppet. When he testified before the House Armed Services Committee (TIME, Oct. 24) the picture was dramatically reversed.

Last week, after four years as the sly, tireless head of the Communist-run German Socialist Unity Party, "Father Unity" (as his comrades called him) was formally inaugurated as president of the new Red puppet republic in Germany's Russian zone. Pieck, a worker's son, watched a torchlight parade of 300,000 Berliners (complete with fireworks, goose step and Prussian military marches), inspected the Communist-trained "people's police."
