Ailing & Aging. Last week a crack appeared in the secrecy wall. Frau Walter Funk, who occasionally visits her husband in the prison, called a press conference in Bonn. The Spandau prisoners are ailing and aging, she reported. Hess is "even more insane and often screams." Neurath is almost blind and must be led about the prison.

To ease French fears that Germany might dominate the Schuman Plan, he quietly pointed out that the Ruhr will contribute more than half of the coal and one-third of the steel, but will have only two members on the nine-man high authority...
