...symbolic of a new, all-out appeal by the Communists to extreme German nationalism. At a rally of the Communist-run Social Unity Party in East Berlin last week, German Communist Boss Otto Grotewohl launched a new "National Front." Standing below a picture of North Korean Premier Kim II Sung, Grotewohl announced that henceforth the German Communists would welcome anyone into their ranks. Said Grotewohl: "No patriot . . . will be excluded . . . Our National Front is not limited to democratic elements. We want everybody, including the former Nazis . . ."

Titularly Soviet ambassador to the Korean "People's Republic," he is actually Stalin's proconsul, ruling North Korea (through Kim II Sung) from his roomy, three-story mansion, built on the site of the old Presbyterian Mission compound in Pyongyang. Burly, deadpanned, boorish, he was Soviet delegate on the Joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. [Korean] Commission in 1946. His U.S. opposite number was Major General A. V. Arnold.
