...Socialists say that a centralized state could better oppose possible aggression and act as an efficient organ for directing ERP aid in the Reich. They also need such a government to carry out their promised nationalization program. Because the Washington conference decided on a government much weaker than they would like, the Socialists have threatened to quit Bonn and end the parliamentary council for good. Although they know that their convention opponents have Allied support, they hope that their stand will change the minds of the occupying powers...

Every week, from 20 to 30 young wanderers turn up there-boys like 17-year-old, shock-haired Karl Waldhauser, who had been drafted to work in a Russian-zone uranium mine. After three days on a pneumatic drill, Karl escaped and crossed the border at night. Says he: "I never get homesick. Maybe that's because my father and mother are dead...
