The long-moribund refugee organizations-which claim to speak for more than 12 million Germans exiled from German lands now in Communist hands-visited Adenauer to warn of restiveness in their ranks since the Oder-Neisse talk started. The presidents of four North German states wrote, warning the Chancellor not to bind the Federal Republic so closely to France and the Common Market countries, that traditional North German trade ties to Britain and Scandinavia would be hurt...

None of the armed forces would give him notice of projected firings; Tepee's men finally had to set up their own system of volunteer watchers on Cape Canaveral to warn them when a firing seemed imminent. Meanwhile, the FCC caviled about the frequencies he wanted to use. But such nonscientific problems came to an end in November, when Thaler tracked a Polaris so accurately that the top brass was immediately sold, gave him an appropriation of $400,000 to cover...
