...what party policy should be. Just before the Bundestag debate on the treaties, he decided that the C.D.U.-C.S.U. deputies should vote against ratification; then, after a bipartisan policy declaration had been worked out, he said he would allow a free vote.

Strauss three weeks ago with an offer of $525,000 to settle a $6.4 million suit filed by the Democratic National Committee. The committee has charged that the Watergate wiretapping violated the civil rights of the then-National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien and other top Democrats, some of whose phones had been successfully tapped in a previous breakin...
