...Klaus Schütz, 43, the governing mayor of West Berlin who often does the exploratory spadework when Brandt wants to break new ground. Early last June, Schütz was welcomed as an official guest in Poland, which is now the prime candidate for new diplomatic overtures from Bonn. Schütz will either stay in Berlin or become a key aide to Brandt in Bonn...
...last-minute effort to avert a crisis, West German Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger summoned Soviet Ambassador Semyon Tsarapkin for an extraordinary 2½-hour session at the Palais Schaumburg, but failed to find a solution. After an emergency session of the West Berlin Senate, Mayor Klaus Schütz appealed to West Berliners to remain calm.

Schütz's own Social Democratic Party is on the point of expelling its left wing, some of whose members took part in the student march. With widespread popular support, right-wing politicians of all parties have begun a campaign to ban the radical student organizations and expel their leaders from the city-an action that would only drive the leftists underground.
