Adenauer stonily insisted that peace with the West and a place in Western rearmament should come first. There were ugly whispers in West Germany that Adenauer's stand was selfish, that if there were free, Germany-wide elections, his mainly Catholic and right-wing coalition would lose power in the deluge of Socialist votes from Protestant East Germany.

Last week Perelle proudly reported that in 1951 Brill's sales rose 88%, to $23.6 million, and the company turned in a profit of $2.5 million after taxes, the biggest ever, and kept rising...
