Last week, in an hour-long speech well larded with what Germany's anti-Communists call Partei Chinesisch (party Chinese), East Germany's Party Boss Walter Ulbricht got around to announcing the new look in East German Communism. The Ulbricht speech included the now mandatory apology to Tito, a helping of discreet selfcriticism, and the rehabilitation of a few old victims. The first of these (who may not have been Ulbricht's own choice) was his old rival, Franz Dahlem.

Among the most noisome of the "bad Germans" is stocky, pushing Wolfgang He.dl.er, 50, an early Nazi, now a formally denazified member of Bonn's Bundestag. Hedler's denazification is skin-deep.

...Need for Luck. The group that gained most was the Free Democratic Party, economically to the right of the Christian Democrats and called the "Bankers' Party" by the Socialists; the Free Democrats got 52 seats, trebling their best showing in earlier local contests. The extreme right-wing Deutsche Partei and the hotheaded Bavarian separatist Bayernpartei polled 17 seats each; local and splinter groups, mostly right-wing, gained 32 seats between them. The Communists were soundly beaten (6% of the total vote, 15 seats...
