Last November, Erhard's Cabinet voted not to extend West Germany's 20-year statute of limitations on war crimes. Though some 70,000 Nazi criminals have been sentenced, prosecutions pending against 13,000 others would be dropped if the statute is applied. Nearly 75% of the German mail to the Bundestag on the statute of limitations was in favor of letting the law lapse. But in the face of mounting foreign criticism, the Cabinet last week reversed itself, agreed...

Long ago prepared for such a move, the base has a reserve of over 15 million gallons on hand; there is also a special tanker that can convert 100,000 gallons of salt water a day into fresh water. By cutting down use from 2,000,000 gallons a day to 500,000 gallons, Guantanamo can go a month with what it has, and tankers from the U.S. can bring in whatever is needed from then on to make the base permanently self-sufficient.
