The current information Federal Republic: the Godesberg redoubt was the scene of a glamorous event. The President gave the traditional new year's reception for the diplomatic corps. Nuncio Archbishop Muench brought as one on behalf of the gathered the congratulations to the turn of the year. Overall, there were 66 representatives of the foreign guest at our head of State.

France: France got a new head of State. In the great Hall of the Palace of Elysée in Paris, General de Gaulle was proclaimed as the first President of the Fifth Republic. As outward sign he received the golden honorary chain of the order of the Legion of honour. His first official act was the appointment of Michel Debré as Prime Minister. Then, de Gaulle went along with his predecessor Rene Coty on the Champs of Elysées to the Arc de Triomph. The President ignited the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier. While here a State got a new President, United States: a President proclaimed a new State in America. The United States is widened to a German slang. The territory of Alaska was by President Eisenhower as the 49th State in the United States on. And the American flag shows 49 stars from now on.

Cuba: In close vicinity to the United States, American citizens spent anxious hours. The revolution in Cuba left as a precaution on evacuation they think, because at first no one knew how would behave the foreigners against the new Government. But the concern proved to be unfounded. Fidel Castro, who now moved to a triumphant hero of freedom with his followers in Havana, attaches importance to good relations with the United States. In a speech, he stressed his desire to restore the democratic order in Cuba.

United States: Their democratic right to freedom of expression, anti-Communist protesters made use in Washington. Her indignation was directed against Anastas Mikoyan. In his talks with Secretary of State Dulles was among other things the heißumstrittene subject of Berlin.

Carnival time Munich: the Carnival or Carnival, in short the carnival time is here. Princess Marianne and Prince Wastl performed in Munich. I sing-sing for the first time and their heavy duties. The serious side of life has begun from now on it is said to be merry!Now, the Munich could say that twice. Already at the premiere of the Carnival it was quite turbulent. The highly attractive Prince guard was greeted joyfully. Na than cheers! On a beautiful Carnival!

Hamburg: Prost was the cue for the Senate Bock tapping in Hamburg, where the stiff Hanseatic League were somewhat excited. The master of beer was not long to ask and handed the Cup Mayor Engelhard. Drunk and found to be good. And then Harry Gondi acquired the more Director of wet cheerful stag nights. Sport of the week Billiards: passionate snooker players saw these days forward to Oberhausen. Since the European Championship in the cover was held here. Lütgehetmann, Germany - champions, finished third. Domingo, the Spanish champion of the art shock. The Dutch Teegelaar. The Austrians joke came in 2nd place. The geschicktester. Finger but had the Belgian Vaishnav. He was again champion. Finally a present from the bag of tricks. Was you too quickly? Please: the same bumper returns March and Once again.

Ski: All possible stones of contention were in the so to speak resolved rolling usage before the skiing elite of the world to the Lauberhorn ski race started. Toni Sailer did not participate. But he found a worthy successor. In the downhill the eternal second, Ahderl Molterer, remained true to yourself up again. The 20-year old Austrian Karl Schranz won before him. Two German were a sensation at the ladies in Grindelwald. Barbi Henneberger clinched second place in the slalom. Heidi Mittermaier, with unfavourable start number 1, but was not to beat, safe, fast and elegant like no other swung them through the gates. At the finish the 17-year-old could hardly believe their unexpected success.

Figure skating: Fixed expected a success, however, had Ina Bauer at the German Figure Skating Championships in Berlin. She not deceived themselves. None of the competitors could seriously endanger it. With this performance she is undoubtedly one of world class. Also, Marika Kilius and Hans Jürgen Bäumler are holidaying in pair skating. With their almost artistic freestyle, Kilius/Bäumler won the German Championship.

Artists: Real artists, not only on the ice but in the air introduced themselves in the Moscow Palace of sport. Stunning clowns were the highlight.

Springboard diving: Great leaps made Mexican swimmers at the same guaranteed time. Prepare eager Central American Games in Caracas on that. And it seems like they have good prospects. There was a parody in the Stadium next door. On the sport? On the life of other pages? No matter. Who wants to be master, cringes beforehand.
