At a stormy party caucus, Trade Minister Hees once more urged Diefenbaker to resign, demanded at the very least a promise that Diefenbaker would not campaign on a platform of destructive anti-Americanism. Diefenbaker seemed to agree, but then in his first TV speech, he angered the Cabinet rebels all over again with statements about "loss of sovereignty" and "domination...

In recent months, der Alte has become increasingly isolated, seldom appears in the Bundestag, or even at the caucus meetings of his C.D.U. parliamentary faction. Often at Cabinet meetings he stays for a short time, then hands affairs over to Vice Chancellor Erhard. Der Alte seems uninterested in details, no longer gets the steady stream of reports from the Foreign Ministry on every detail of West Germany's relations abroad which he once demanded. Being out of touch even with the moods...
