"Helgoland" in Asia which chartered "Heligoland" as a threesome bath steamer through the North Sea - in the winter for brandy tours after Denmark and Sweden cruised for three summers. Now begins for them the longest journey - without amusement and Weinseligkeit - she's a hospital ship under the sign of the Red Cross after Viet Nam.
She turned in 4 1/2 months into a full District Hospital - fully air conditioned, as Saigon, where her anchorage is already set, acquainted with temperatures up to 38 degrees. 150 to 180 patients it is prepared: on Americans or Viet Cong, South Vietnamese soldiers or civilians. A 32-jähriger Berlin doctor is at the forefront of the medical staff.
Interview with Dr. Heimfried nun man: "What attracts you to the task as chief physician to go to Viet Nam?"
"This is, I'm generally a restless mind and I also expect that it will be a very interesting work and after that experience, I can make down there will be very useful."
"The medical possibilities do you have on the converted"Heligoland"?"
"We have a very large surgical station, precisely because of the need for surgical treatment in Saigon will be greater than the demand for internal treatment. We have also an internal station, we have a dermatological, an X-ray Department with a radiologists and we get also an ophthalmologist or ear -, nose and throat specialist in circumstances."
"What difficulties do you expect in Viet Nam?"
"Know, there will be many difficulties. I can not exactly tell you what specifically we will find, but it's Yes, there are completely different conditions than we have here."
"What do you fear the most?"
"Now the rush of patients actually, that we it, that we can not cope with the crowds."
"Do you think this trip to support the American policy of Viet Nam?"
"No, for us politics plays absolutely no role. We are totally neutral in this country. We're going for purely humanitarian reasons. We want to help people who are suffering from the war, but we want to make a political demonstration that."
The 'Helgoland' leaves Europe at a time, because America increased its troop strength in Viet Nam to 285,000 man.

Info: Poland: the recent Eastern European image information about Viet Nam reached us from Poland. 100 Warsaw workers, mostly drivers and locksmith, donated blood for the wounded of the Communist Vietcong movement. The comment speaks of solidarity with the people's Liberation Army, and evaluates the action as a protest against the so-called barbaric war in the United States.

Portugal: Lisbon celebrated its new landmark for three days. About the "Ponte Salazar" Portugal revels in superlatives: 5 speeches, President Salazar and President Tomaz came personally and Germany's traffic Minister thanked notables opened for the invitation with a-like servant - in short and the church blessed what 3,000 workers had built in less than four years: the longest suspension bridge in Europe.
Apart from their price, 300 million marks, and the level of their axes, which can compete with the height of the Eiffel Tower, baffled most the fact that nowadays a construction project is completed half a year before the deadline. But it is a modern bridge, which expected every day 20,000 vehicles and prohibits access to pedestrians. America: Murder is contagious as measles, a psychologist stated that after Charles Whitman, a student just 24 years old, became the second American mass murderer within one month. From the Tower of the library in Austin shot people in 92 minutes 13.
The debate over the loose American gun regulations has inflamed again on this fact and you quoted the frightening statistics that the number of violent crimes with firearms in the United States is 50 times higher than in countries with strict gun control.

Hunting records Uwe Beyer were just a deposit. Record-tired he hurled the hammer, returned in the Film Studio, to die as a young Siegfried for Germany. The athletic teen idol left the only athletes hunting records. German Athletics Championships in Hanover, Germany.
Sensation no. 1: meets Franz Josef Kemper in the 800 m final after 400 meters on the top. He fights yet, where it already the victory sure. European record with the third-best 800 m time was launched so far in the world.
The Wurfmuskulaturen have failed their service at temperatures around 12 degrees. 78 metres 76 for the new German Champion Eugen Stumpp.
Gusty winds - the handicap of the pole vaulter. Brother hard mouth may not be able to replace the Olympia zweiten Wolfgang Reinhardt. Nevertheless: enjoy 4 metres 70. safe: veteran Claus Lehnertz. 4 meters 80 range to the title.
Between hurdles 3 and 5, Hinrich John loses his rhythm. He catches himself and wins the Championship with 31 years for the third time in 14.1 seconds.
Defending champion Inge Schell fears after 40 meters for the victory. The dark-haired Karin Frisch as first in the target moves with far-reaching steps: 80 metre hurdles in 10.6 seconds.
The final 100 m ended sensation no. 2: the German sprinter plight. The experts boast the best women finals in athletics history. Hannelore Trabert, Germany's fastest tailor, set the German record. All the rest, not about 11.6 - chance for the relay victory in Budapest.
Final battle at the long pit without the injured three-jump specialist Michael Sauer. Müller Saarbrücken is subject to the Mainz Reza Karimi in the duel. His best jump of 15 metres 95. new German Champion in the high jump of Ingomar Sieghart, is surpassed only by the charm of his female rival. You forgive Nwener_ehmed Valk, the most photographed athlete, the 1 m 63. Finally, it has to offer more than just performance.

Fun of 14,000: marching with music the world meets annually in the Netherlands - the 50th anniversary in 1966. The world - these are marchers, military officials and civilians who have the ambition to carry baggage to 50 km at least 1 kg.
Nothing drives them on the streets - they March against nuclear armament, nor for higher wages. Her walk is not a protest against high beer prices against German military marches.
March - only around marching for four days, 14,000 contemporaries - elderly, tired of driving and children who hardly know that there are means of transport.
Target is your all Nijmegen. Applause splashes on - for a friendly face, a nearly forgotten hero breast or all those unnamed, marching, to be acclaimed once in a year.
