Adenauer Wooing Old Socialist Foes
BONN — (UPI) — Chancellor Konrad Adenauer turned to his longtime Socialist foes today in a bombshell maneuver to end the West German government crisis.
Only last Saturday, Socialist Deputy Chairman Herbert Wehner said a coalition with Adenauer was "unthinkable."
Adenauer was to meet today with Germany's leading Socialist, Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, as well as chairman Erich Ollenhauer and other leaders of the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
The Socialists said the meeting was called to discuss formation of a new German cabinet. The old coalition between Adenauer's Christian Democratic Union and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) ended when the Free Democrats walked out over the issue of police raids on "Der Spiegel" newsmagazine.
POWERFUL factions within the SPD and Adenauer's own CDU reportedly oppose the idea of a CDU-SPD government.
Adenauer had been negotiating with the Free Democrats and was
Laredo Pleases Large Audience
A 21-year-old Bolivian violinist drew thunderous applause at the KU Concert Course last night.
At 21 Jaime Laredo has the ability to convey to his audience the moodiness of Shumann or the delicacy of Mozart. For nearly two hours the young artist entranced a crowd of about 1,000.
Accompanied by his wife, Ruth Laredo, at the piano, the stocky violinist played "Sonata in G Minor" by Tartini, "Adagio in E Major" and "Rondo in C Major" by Mozart and "Sonata in A Minor" by Schumann.
"He has a nice technique and style for his age." Theodore Johnson, assistant professor of organ and theory said referring to Laredo's apparent masterfulness of the selections and spontaneous approach to his music.
"I think he could have chosen more solid pieces for the second part of the program. The first half was serious; the second half was lighter." Prof. Johnson said.
Many in the audience expressed regret that the musician had not continued in that same serious mood after intermission.
"During the second part of the program he played light virtuoso pieces that gave him an opportunity to 'show off.' He is perfectly adequate to play any work," Prof. Johnson said.
The second half of the program consisted of Saint-Saens' "Havaaise," Bartok's "Six Roumanian Dances," Gershwin-Heifetz's "Prelude No. 2," Wieniawski's "Scherzo-Tarentelle" and encore numbers by Wieniawski and Kreisler.
KU Radio Club to Meet
The KU Amateur Radio Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 201 Electrical Engineering Lab to discuss a proposed transmitter hunt and the transfer of the ARC station from the third floor of the EE lab.
thought to be close to an agreement for a renewed coalition with the FDP. The FDP's chief demand for returning to the government fold appeared to be satisfied when Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss, implicated in the "Der Spiegel" case, announced he would stay out of the next cabinet.
He thus outmaneuvered the FDP, some of whose officials had earlier considered forming a coalition with the Socialists which would have thrown Adenauer out of office altogether and ended his 13-year rule
THEN CAME the surprise announcement of CDU-SPD talks, bringing into the open a series of negotiations Adenauer had started quietly some time ago.
The Christian Democrats are Germany's strongest party, but they lack eight seats of a parliamentary majority. The Socialists are the number two force. The Free Democrats, although a poor third numerically, have wielded the balance of power between the two larger parties.
