...chosen to make the appeal was barrel-shaped Carlo Schmid, the only Socialist in the German delegation, and at times an eloquent man. Said Carlo Schmid directly to the impassive pair, Khrushchev and Bulganin: "Every man, woman and child in Germany is behind Dr. Adenauer's attempt to obtain the release of these missing Germans." Nikita Khrushchev was impressed. Perhaps, after all, there is a basis on which to do business, he told the German delegates...

But though the opposition Social Democratic Party has 151 Deputies, it slumbers under the respectable but uninspired leadership of Erich Ollenhauer and Carlo Schmid. Today, the 84-year-old Social Democratic Party, Germany's oldest, is fervently anti-Communist and only faintly Marxist, but it still clings as a matter of tradition to Marxist catch phrases like class struggle and proletarian revolution.
