...Office's senior officials had been Nazi Party members. Perhaps half of all senior civil servants in West German ministries were once Nazis, and the proportion is probably not much less in the East German regime. At least eight West German ambassadors were Nazi Party members. About a third of all German judges were connected in one way or another with the Hitler regime. But, said Chancellor Adenauer last week, the world should recognize that the majority of Germans had served Naziism "only under the hard pressure of dictatorship...
...speech, actually written by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, outlined an agenda for the third session of Canada's 24th Parliament.

Boeing Airplane Co. will put together the three stages and install the guidance system in the completed missile...
...principal source of material for WBAI is the British Broadcasting Co.'s famed, culture-heavy Third Programme, which rents records of its shows to the foundation for $1 a disk. This week Gilbert and Sullivan fans can hear a BBC D'Oyly Carte broadcast of Patience, and Shakespeareans will hear Stratford-on-Avon's Shakespeare Memorial Theater company do Twelfth Night. Next week WBAI will play a tape, made in Europe last summer at the Bayreuth Festival, of an uncut (close to five hours) performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger...
