The choice In the Lebanon in an atmosphere of restrained stress was elected the new President of Lebanon. On election day, military units had pulled an exclusion zone around Parliament. Fuad Saenz accounted for 48 votes of the 55 on the previous Commander-in-Chief of the Lebanese army. The General is confirmed as head of State of Lebanon for 6 years. The first reaction to the election result is the safe sign for a realignment of the political situation.

Briefly exposed: Berlin: after its completion in a West Berlin Foundry the figures of the new Quadriga were transported to the Assembly on the Brandenburg Gate to East Berlin. The winning car was completely destroyed during the second world war. Reconstructed for old patterns he should supplant finally the Soviet flag atop the Brandenburg Gate in a few weeks.

Egypt: The President of Gamal Abdel Nasser's United Arab Republic inaugurated the Egyptian iron and steel plant Heluan. The plant was built by a German company period of three years. It will annually produce 250,000 tonnes of crude steel and promote the further industrialization of the country.

United States: Germany's largest passenger ship, the "Hanseatic", arrived in the port of New York. America was the new ocean giant, which in future will drive on the Atlantic route, a stormy reception.

New York: 180,000 participants from 123 countries attended an international meeting of Jehovah's witnesses. The number of members of this sect has grown since 1942 to the sevenfold. 7,000 newly recorded were baptized at the beach of Orchant beach.

Force of nature India: In India, the Monsum initiated the time of large rain. Bombay reported record rainfall.

Argentina: Rain and stormy weather drove the La Plata on the banks in Argentina. Especially the area around Buenos Aires was hit hard by the tsunami. Countless lost home and good. The damage is in the millions. Between Heaven Earth a long time prepared experiment should these days in Hamburg on the stage go: the new sensation number of Ringeling troop! The motorised rope dancers want to drive cope with a height of 30 meters. On the first meters, everything seems to work out. Halfway, however, the car loses the left front wheel profile. No other choice remains stuck between heaven and Earth, than to get off the chauffeur. There was still a sensation despite everything, because unmehr was it to bring back the blocked car and his driver back to the starting point. The experiment has failed. The large number of Ringeling force is still not ready. But the artists want to continue try till the last point of failure is eliminated. Neck and leg break, for now and see you at the premiere!

Sport of the week track and field athletes at the start were athletes from East and West Germany during the qualification battles in Kassel at the start. It was the ticket to Stockholm. In the 3000 m steeplechase, the Wolfsburg Hans Hünnecke ensures a sensation. In 8 minutes 37.4 seconds he runs new German record. He is the five fastest long-distance runner in the world. The Munich prevails in the women's 80 m hurdles Anneliese Karl. You WINS in 11.2 seconds. The West German Sprinter with Lauer, Castle, fairy, and Germar is in great shape. It runs European year best time in 40.2 seconds.

Tony Brooks on Vanwall is in third place. Until the 10th round, the frenzied dentist enters the leadership with Collins and Hawthorn. Our shots by the 10th round show Peter Collins, no. 2, shortly before his fatal accident. In the 11th round, frontrunner Hawthorn abandons with engine failure.
