Under the microscope: 'My Ste which would do dat on the nose bind you "how high do you the monthly income of a member of the Bundestag?" - "as I I hadn't thought about it made me." -?" "So l5hundert use up to two thousand mark." - "I guess that's us, so every profession, we earn as much as if it were a tip."-"The interrupted session is reopened."
521 members of the German Bundestag recently included the decision to improve their diets. In other words: The German taxpayer raises annually not more 75 and 80 pfennigs to Parliament. The discussion, which then was created just for us occasion to take the working day of a member of Parliament under the magnifying glass.
It is early before 7: 00. A Deputy leaves his 150 to 200 Deutsche Mark accommodation - to - if he's sportsman - in the basement of the Federal building in full harmony with the colleagues from the opposition, to prepare the forces for the political work of the day.
The post arrives at the Conference Office. 20-22,000 consignments daily. The honourable Member will receive: letters, circular letters, invitations, Association and Club fonts. To edit about a 12-hour day is not enough.
Each Member is at least a Committee member, where the main part of dar legislative work. The laws should be good. But where is the honourable Member those place that allows him to prepare undisturbed for important decisions! The answer is depressing: "you see, we are in a space that is meant for two people and is so small for both of us, that we have to sit close to each other. You can't work here. The number of Secretaries in this House is too low. "The ladies can get only in advance, it takes three, four, five days, and then sitting around somewhere in the House, in the restaurant, in the relaxation room, stands in the hallway and dictates, because it is not possible in their own room and especially because we do not want to take Yes the files that we have here in the Bundestag, from the House."
What is granted to each head of Department, a private room and a typist, is denied to the German members. While he types his unit, sticking to his letters and even franked, his place in the Chamber remains free. The image of the empty benches in the House usually arises when important events call the members to participate in other fora. Voter decides on diligence and quality of members ultimately, every parliamentary answer must be him d as for example on the question of the diets: "I get a monthly allowance amounting to 1,360 mark and expense compensation in amount of 1,740. That's all revenue amounting to 3,100 mark. My expenses in contrast, totaled monthly approximately 2,100 mark. This amount is composed from a group sound party contribution of 512 mark from the subsistence outside my residence, master here in Bonn, 750 mark, from car cost from 520 mark per month and other expenses for postage.
Expenses for typists, etc, in the amount of 300 marks. The bottom line a total of 1,018 mark is for my private needs and for my family."-"The duties of the party in all the groups actually are right?"-"no, they're not that of course. You have heard from my colleagues of the SPD that he must lead over 500 mark on his party. I am being treated somewhat less serious, I come out with something less than 300 mark."-"We can so the previous discussion conclude that I earned more in my freelance work and my family could support less, as it is the case today as a member."
On one but the German members of Parliament can be proud: he is a member of the cheapest Parliament of the world.

Information: The French President de Gaulle took the first step to its advertiser activity in Latin America in Mexico. Warmly received by President Lopez Mateos and like a Triumphator by the hundreds of thousands cheered, de Gaulle enjoyed four days feel of full recognition. Without looking to the North of America, the French President acknowledged this visit as successful Overture to have only just begun political play on the American continent.
An example of solidarity with the filmmaking of his country were Italian President Segni by an unusual ceremony. He received the prize of the "David di Donatello" and congratulated in particular the actresses Audrey Hepburn and Gina Lollobrigida.
However, the German film celebrates your festivals usually without the public prominence. "Meeting in Salzburg" is a new film, who experienced his festive world premiere in Salzburg. The film, in the Curd Jürgens, Walter Giller and Daniele Gaubert playing main roles, has undertaken the risk to dress up the classic anyone theme in a modern guise.
The anxious expectation before its premiere dissipated as the audience gave its enthusiastic approval "Meeting in Salzburg". The American city of Los Angeles received emergency as extensive bushfires approached the first houses of the suburb. Hot desert winds with speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour pushed the flames through the parched underbrush. Police and fire brigade units were powerless against the fire 4,000 hectares. The ruins were left by some 400,000 mark Villa.
In Europe, meanwhile, the underwater event in the dry begins with a financially strong leisure company to enforce. The first two man submarine from the series production started on Tegeler Lake in Berlin.
Although, a practiced pedestrian can compete with his speed. A but it has preceded the Wanderer: its depth ranges up to 50 meters.
However also this pleasure can afford neither the water up to the neck, because the price of the submarine is 25,000 mark. Sports: Germany's strong men gave themselves in Regensburg a strenuous booty call, when it was, to determine the new German Champion in weightlifting.
Alfred nugget Probst pushes, pulls and pushes in the lightweight Division. And he manages the new German record.
Then: Three failure on the problem of the object.
The medium Norbert Fehr however remains successful against the attraction of our planet.
Danndrückt Artur Haun his third attempt from the class of the hardest.
Before the decisive phase if it costs the partial success with highest concentration.
To the last joint effort, Norbert Fehr takes the iron again. The reward for the upscale 432,5 kilo: The German Champion in the Mittelschwergewicht. The heavyweight Artur Kaun, however, succeed in the record of the day: as first German citizens pushes and he pushes a total of 450 kilos. A remarkable result when you consider how hard it is otherwise, unzusetzen 97 kilos weight in reasonable physical power.
