Unrest South Tyrol Tirol: South Tyrol, the paradisiacal landscape of Sisack and Adige, is rocked by unrest. The German-speaking minority has repeatedly clashed with the Italian authorities in their struggle for autonomy, and were victims on both sides.

Zurich: The crashing of terrorist bombs and the shooting of Italian police were the background music for the meeting of Austria's Foreign Minister Kreisky and Italian Foreign Minister Segni. As already previously failed also the third meeting in Milan and Klagenfurt. Fearing new shootouts between right extremists and Italian police of Hesse the Italian authorities to retract all firearms. Now, South Tyrol is like a country in a State of siege. According to the Italian South Tyrolean foreign industry through the unrest should have already recorded a loss of 64 million DM. Our feasible Poland Warsaw: Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and since time immemorial was the metropolis for the intellectual and artistic elite in the Eastern Central Europe, before recently meeting place of chief editors of all European newsreels. The participants followed an invitation of their Polish colleagues to Zelazowa Wola, and visited the birthplace of Chopin's. 150 years ago the greatest Polish composer and pianist was born here, who knew Polish sentiment and French ESPRIT harmoniously to merge his music like no other. The Polish youth of today, who grew up in a social order totally changed since 1945, makes no effort to deny the numerous influences from Western Europe. Young Poland abstract painting and modern literature, which are condemned by the Socialist conception of art as decadent and reactionary discuss in youth clubs. With wit and spirit, students take cabaret time manifestations on the grain in their Tingel Tangel: "(Original-Ton)" the cafe with the descriptive name "Smile" is directed by the Polish youth as an open house for all. Only alcohol is here. The hour zero struck for the Paris of the East in the year 1944 when Warsaw was razed to the ground on Hitler's orders. What remained of the political confrontations between Hitler Germany and the Soviet Union in Poland, was a shambles of outer collapse. A question was seriously posed was whether resurrected the almost totally destroyed capital ever again from the ruins should be. But the distinctive national consciousness of Poland was decisive factor that Warsaw was rebuilt yet again.
Special attention is the Polish city planners went, to rebuild the old town of Warsaw, itself up on tiny details, in its original form. At the same time, the restoration in the style of a bygone era was an unspoken apology for the rejection of the Stalinist sugar bakers style the Soviets had strongly recommended. The style and the jewelry of these houses emphasize perhaps like no other example traditions consciousness of a people that has never ceased to reflect on his national past. The activity in the spiritual and religious life since 1945, has created a Habitat, yet to realize it is because he is new and the unprecedented in history.

Parade of the horsepower of Stuttgart: in Stuttgart, Daimler-Benz family celebrated the 75th birthday of their favorite child: the automobile. Federal Economic Minister Erhardt conveyed the congratulations of the Government the 100,000 employees of the oldest automobile company in the world and described the Mercedes star as a symbol of German power and quality work. On the 3. July 1886 the first motorized carriage by Karl Benz through Mannheim was rattled, today, over 100 million people on the steering wheel of her car set every day on Earth. How much the car as transportation has changed the world, stressed General Director Hitzinger on the ceremony: "Daimler and Benz wanted nothing more than a technical means for the benefit of people with their creations. This task is not only true, it occurred a fundamental change in human society, because now people and Nations are closer each other."

About 7,000 of the 1 1/2 million shares owner had appeared to the general meeting. Most pulled up in her own car. About 1/3 of the attendees were employee members, including amazingly many young faces, Director Nordhoff announced the readiness of the work to a reasonable comparison with Volkswagen savers and spoke of price increases. The endurance of the meeting participants to sweltering heat was also to admire the result of voting. Unexpectedly unanimously, over 99 percent decided to relieve the Supervisory Council and the Board of Directors and to send 12 percent of the dividend to the Volkswagen Foundation.

West Berlin: Only carriages of the small man, mark self-construction, were admitted, as the proud owner of improvised cars at the start were in West Berlin. The 13 Soapbox Derby, the country winner should be determined. Who wanted to be quick with this forward for the League Championship, had to have lubricated well, because to prevent accidents, the adult organizers had greatly reduced this year the gradient of the track. A bakers apprentice had the fastest Soapbox on wheels. The 15 year-old Armin Kröber was able to take the victory wreath and the title of the Mering dam home.

Aachen: In the wide round of the Aachener Stadium came to the last competition In the SA jumping to the "Grand Prix of Aachen", once again the elite of European equestrian. 3 cut were necessary to determine a winner. 40,000 spectators keep our fingers crossed the Brazilian Nelson Pessoa on his catlike used "Espartaco", but now he's out of luck. Hans Günther Winkler with "Romanus" gets 4 points of failure. This means 2nd together with Piero d ' Inzeos second horse in the stinging "Pioneer". On his first horse "the rock" which takes revenge at the Aachen tournament by bad luck pursued Italian then. The huge Irish mold properly dealt with the 13 obstacles on the 840 m-long course and gives the victory to Piero d' Inzeo.
