In their own right dealing with the coexistence of the State television with the private film industry during a discussion in Düsseldorf. Interior Minister Dufhues said: (original sound) the President of the Central Association of the German cinema, Rolf Theile, replied: (original sound) the image of a week of Cologne-Wahn: the image of this week is essentially determined by the return of Dr. Konrad Adenauer's finished his small world tour at the airport of Cologne-Wahn.

Tokyo: The Chancellor came out of the land of the rising sun. More than once he had the opportunity to be less politicians as a tourist here. And as a tourist among tourists, he visited the famous, built in the year 607 Horvugi Temple in Nara.
On particularly good - if also unbeschuhten - foot turned the Chancellor with the geishas of Kyoto. After the tour of the NIGO, the expected Chancellor Japanese traditional tea ceremony. A few days before the Sofia University in Tokyo had given the Chancellor the rarely awarded dignity of honorary doctor. It is now the umpteenth 20 doctorate.
Dr Adenauer was a guest in a country in which American-großstädtischer neon signs flicker Flash oddly contrasts with millennia old traditions.
When the last snow falls in Japan, Rokugo celebrates the feast of the bamboo in the District of Akita. Good spirits fight against evil with long bamboo poles to force a plentiful harvest.
The naked Festival is much older. After a purification bath fight up to 10 thousand people symbolizes a 20 cm-long bamboo pole, peace, fertility and wealth.

Paris: The last days of the Khrushchev visit with political talks without agreement and with increased sympathy rallies of the French Communists to end went in Paris. Reggane: the explosion of the second French Atomic bomb in Reggane in the Sahara as a bang accompanied the parting of the red dictator of General de Gaulle.

Camp David: A week of high political activity at Camp David was President Eisenhower to the termination of such trial explosions and Moscow's proposals for a nuclear stop discussed Prime Minister Macmillan.

New York: In America, our reporter sent its second report on the situation and this time, there are personal impressions of a New York City, as it was hardly known to us.
Our cameraman Kurt Rau told this: what fascinates me here again and again, is the large number. Almost everything here has the dimension of the unmanageable. The mosaic of car parking as well as the huge car cemetery, at the km-tired cars to handy packages are pressed.
The large number of dominated also the realm of the dead; against the backdrop of Manhattan, largest cemetery is the world. An island with 2 1/2 million tombstones, to splashes of a roaring traffic.
The people on the waterfront are among the most interesting encounters. Here, the great ocean liner passengers mingle with workers and idle, and the piers at the port are a popular tourist destination not only for gossip aunt Elsa Maxwell.
If the spring is coming, the ladies of New York by an irresistible longing is taken. Americans are famous for a striking piece of clothing that they like to call Hat; and if they are trying in all transactions before the mirror, any further comment is pretty inconsequential.

The red phone but our cameraman was not flown to America to see the country and its people through the eyes of a fascinated tourists. After a long wait, we received a special permit of the US air force to visit the most powerful Western weapon of Defense. We visited the strategic bomber command in Omaha, through catacombs of steel and concrete, the way into an underground city in the nerve center that directs America's nuclear thumb led me.
Here we are as high as a two-storey house and as long as a football field in the map room, a room. Reconnaissance images and weather reports from any point located a machine of the command appear on 49 screens. Three hundred are All the time in the air. on behalf of the command, 285 thousand people work day and night.
Then, for the first time, I see the "red phone". The pilots of the strategic bomber command in permanent readiness sit anywhere in the world. None of them denies that they all are subjected to enormous physical stress.
For me, it was oppressive minutes as I filmed this test alarm. A command by this apparatus feindwärts sends the squadron of 70 air bases on four continents, laden with nuclear bombs in an emergency for 30 seconds.

Power Commander Thoma explained to me: A nuclear attack by mistake is completely excluded. Each aircraft is connected to the underground Center also in the air. No aircraft may fly over the border of a foreign country without explicit confirmation of the order of battle.
The bomber command works with a precision that gives me the creeps. Commander power has only a single sober answer on this feeling: in this eerie and the job that our men meet, lies the last guarantee for the safety and the freedom of the Western world.
