Reading Others' Radar. If there had been some question at the outset whether the Pueblo might have violated North Korean waters, there was no such doubt about the EC-121. Its crew had orders to stay at least 50 nautical miles off the North Korean coast. Some wreckage from the aircraft turned up 85 miles at sea. Nixon insisted that American, Russian and North Korean radar had all shown the EC-121 clearly over international waters. His remark revealed for the first time that the U.S. has electronic gadgets that can read what other nations' radars are reporting...
...Corps has sentenced two Black Muslims to six and ten years for "attempting to cause dissension in the ranks." The Navy has sentenced Nurse Susan Schnall, 25, of the Oakland, Calif. Naval Hospital, to six months for taking part in a peace demonstration while in uniform. Military police stop, question and sometimes threaten servicemen attempting to visit off-post coffee houses. Since many of the dissenters are otherwise model soldiers, the armed forces also use administrative discharge procedures to get rid of them.

...willingness to work together. Already the issue has begun to cause friction in the Grand Coalition between the Socialists and their senior partners, the Christian Democrats. The extent of the disagreement is likely to become more evident this week when the Bundestag opens a debate on the East German question. The Free Democrats, whose 49 Deputies constitute the only opposition in the Bundestag to the Socialists and Christian Democrats, want West Germany to sign a treaty with East Germany that would recognize each state as a separate and sovereign political entity "within the German nation." The Free Democrats have found...
...most fascinating question has been raised by De Gaulle's threat of apres moi le deluge-since for once there is no deluge in sight. Instead, Frenchmen have a visible alternative to De Gaulle in ex-Premier Georges Pompidou. He loyally rejects the proposition that a no vote on the referendum is a yes for himself, and last week was out campaigning vigorously for De Gaulle's program. Nonetheless, his presence on the hustings could only allay any fear of post-De Gaulle chaos and give voters a choice in deciding whether the general had perhaps cried wolf...
