In wind and waves Kiel: Participants from 17 Nations gathered on the first day of the "Kieler Woche" to the famous international family reunion of the sailors on the Kiel fjord. The most prominent guest was President Lübke.
A stiff Northwest, thickness 5 to 6, demanded their skills with the teams, and on the cross was fought primarily on the starlings with all physical usage.
Who was here Not good in trim, fell back soon hopelessly and sailed, as they say, on the ropes.
In the race of the Star class, the Crown of yachting, Bruno Splieth, who get the most promising German candidate for the Olympic sailing in Naples, a good third place could. But the winner was ex world champion and Olympic champion Agusto Straulino from Italy.

We go from green to green but again back on solid ground. We are visiting the Golf Club Berlin-Wannsee, where Germany's best golfers to the National Championships competed for. As you know, it's here, to drive the white ball with as little shock in the Greens, the holes of the fixed rate.
We looked at, how Monika Möller in Hamburg that makes - right and makes. She showed a nearly flawless Golf and became German champion.
And these are the new German champions, Gerhard Bruns from Brunswick, and his rival Hermann Ernst from Aachen. As they congratulated each other, they knew what they had done, because golf is not as easy as it looks.
The most famous golfer of our present is President Eisenhower, who cares to recover during the migration from green to green from the rigors of big politics.

IKE again accompany the American President on trips the most urgent problems of in current world politics on his far East tour. In Alaska, adopted by Vice President Nixon, he climbed the machine to Manila.
The visit to Tokyo failed. There, the demonstrations against the Eisenhower's visit and the security pact with America had reached a bloody climax.
As trained stormtroopers, was reported to the radical left-wing rebels were to proceed against the seat of the AMT Kishis. Only with difficulty, the police was the situation.
Eisenhower was received jubilantly in Manila. More than 2 million Filipinos brought him ovations in New York confetti style.
On Formosa, the last reserve of the 7th, the troops of Chiang Kai shek had prepared is now carefully on the visit of their patron.
Rotchinesische coastal batteries unterlegten the welcome celebrations with the menacing swirl of a Trommelfeurs on the island of Quemoy. -After the welcome by the Generalissimus drove the American President as in a triumphal procession through the streets of Taipei.
Dance groups in the national costumes brought a cheerful touch to Chiang Kai shek army camp on this day. Over 300 thousand people cheered Eisenhower, who said the United States was ready to defend Formosa and Quemoys.
Life on Taiwan and Quemoy is similar to life in the stage of a fighting army. Ruins remind the enemy at the door.
Formosa is an island of the soldiers, and soldier care is a top priority here. The sight of dancers, actresses and Chan sonnets is everything has to offer the army of femininity for many soldiers.
The atmosphere on the island is determined by a situation in which the war has Not yet stopped and Not yet started. Permanent alert is a matter of course. Maneuvers are the order of the day.
So keep battle-ready for any possible attack on the Communists. Grenades and propaganda balloons are the only connection to the Mainland. Unity and justice and freedom were these events and the barbed wire separating Germany into two parts, the background before the Federal Republic more than ever before the uprising in the area remembered June 17 7 years ago.
At a large rally outside the Schöneberg Town Hall in West Berlin said former Federal President Professor Theodor Heuss: "dear fellow citizens, because I am one of you! If returns memory to the day seven years ago and rethinks the way, it is a change of rich history trail. Why do we commemorate this day? He was but a day of defeat, and the peoples maintain not the gloomy dates to inherit from the consciousness of Nachgeborenen tune."
These images remind us to the dismal date of 17 June. A protest March by workers against arbitrary increases in standard are the impetus for the outbreak of popular rage against the Communist dictatorship. Pankow calls the Red Army to help, and Soviet tanks are used, as the uprising reached its tragic climax.
"But this day was a document, in the soul of man, also of the disempowered obviously by impotence, the power of the civil mind of of freedom of, durable lives on." (Heuss)
East Berlin workers tore the red flag from the Brandenburg Gate. The Soviets imposed the State of emergency.
In these hours, which brought the first victim for the unit of in Germany, looked the whole world on the burning Columbushaus.
Seven years later. The Potsdamer Platz today. Hardly a car, hardly a person on the streets, people police officers at the sector boundary and the new flag of the old regime at the Brandenburg Gate; but Pankow has not reached its destination, inside the free part of Germany to separate from the population of the area. This Mayor Brandt said: "our special guests of honour are but again our fellow citizens from the East sector, our fellow countrymen out of the zone. Inside my special greeting and our promise that we will let them not from us is."
What Willy Brandt said many thousand people of all ages and of all parties in rallies along the zone border testified on the 7th anniversary of the popular uprising. Of Lübeck to court, their fires glowed into until far into the zone. The glow of flame to all Germans, who have to live under the Communist dictatorship, To give the certainty, that the free part of Germany will not forget them.
