The president of the West German Bundestag, , Eugen
Gerstenmaier, one of the leaders of Chancellor Adenauer's
Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has sought the support
of Germany's leading publisher Axel Springer for a unifica-
tion nlan which would neutralize Germany,
ers enmaie
already has secured approval of a top Social Democratic
party official. The support of Springer, a strong neutralist
recently returned from Moscow, would provide an outlet
in publications having the widest circulation in Germany.
An early appearance of the plan in the Springer publications
would provide added ammunition for the opposition parties‘
new campaign against atomic weapons and for a nuclear-free
zone.
The CDU Bundestag faction held a stormy session on
11 March. When Adenauer attempted to reimpose a strong
discipline on policy statements, one of Gerstenmaier‘s "sup-
porters walked out of the meeting. Since Gerstenmaier's
plan departs markedly from the government position on non-
recognition of East Germany and freedom of alliances for
united Germany, Chancellor Adenauer will have difficulty
in compromising with Gerstenmaier's views. Several CDU
deputies are convinced, however, that Gerstenmaier will
be forced to back down, in view of the increasing number of
deputies who ar e
n ore negative attitude toward
