Died. Princess Alexandra Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-GIucksburg, 69. onetime wife (1908-20) of Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia, fourth son of Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II; of a heart attack; in Lyon, France...
Granted as reward for his services to the realm during his long Commonwealth tour, and perhaps also to bury the rumors of a family rift (TIME, Feb. 18), Philip's new title has no practical implications.

...West Germany last week came the first warning of the trouble that can flow from the defeat of EDC.

...Victims of Injustice. Today it is the private political vehicle of a Polish-born, ex-SS captain named Waldemar Kraft. In the refugee-laden farm steads near the Danish border, Kraft's name is magic. In 1950 he ran up 23% of the vote in local elections in Schleswig-Holstein. BHE might win 40 to 50 seats in the Bundestag...
