Adenauer Considered Possibly
Loneliest Man in West Germany
Bonn - IITD - When Socialist
Deputy Fritz Erler stood up in
Parliament recently and
charged West Germany is be
ing run by a one-man govern
ment, there may have been i
few 'boos" but there were
very few true dissenters.
Many people share the view
that Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer, and Adenauer alone, U
the government. And they
can point to fairly concrete
facts to back them up.
At 84, and despite his seven
children and 20 grandchil
dren, Adenauer could be con
sidered the loneliest man in
Germany.
Playing one politician off
against the other, trusting few
men, worrying what will hap
pen to Germany once he is
gone - it is more than enough
to make a man lonely.
Many Lonely Decisions
Firm in the belief - al
though without a trace of ar-rogance-that
he is Germany's
destiny, Adenauer has many

power than their equivalents
decisions that have caused the
charges Germany has a one
man government. These
charges are not new. But they
have recently received im
petus by talk of the Chancel
lor's "secret cabinet."
This cabinet, which should
perhaps better be called a
behind-the-scenes'' cabinet, is
formed from a group of men
in the Chancellory. They are
Adenauer's foreign policy.
economic, financial, judicial
and other aides.
These men, it is said, have
much and in some cases
more power than a minister.
On their advice, it is said, the
Chancellor often makes his
lonely decisions without both
ering to consult the real cabi
net or Parliament.
These men also have direct
access to the Chancellor s
office. This is not so in the
case of many ministers.
Written Reports
Thev submit written re
ports to the Chancellor on cur
rent questions. The reports
must be either one or two
pages long, three at the most.
Adenauer never reads more
than three pages.
Adenauer then takes up his
famed green pencil and notes
in the margin - "minister X
should see that this is done,"
"minister should report,
or "see me" if he is displeased.
And this is the secret behind
Hie "secret" cabinet's power.
These reports need not be
countersigned b y superiors
before landing on Adenauer's
desk. They go straight to him,
and on their content he often
makes decisions over a min
ister's head.
And yet, even these men
are limited in power, ine
Chancellor rarely discusses
such reports directly with
their authors. He is accustom
ed to bring in a middleman,
usually his secretary of state
Hans Globke.
Globke, the man between
Adenauer and Reinhard Geh
len's secret service, is general
ly accepted .as Germany's
most powerful man after Ade
nauer. Known as "the grey
eminence," Globke's power is
also borrowed, however, de
pending on Adenauer's whim
or perhaps his longevity. And
Globke has of late been a sick
man, at times away for weeks
because of circulatory ail
ments. When Globke Is there, how
ever, it is said he has more
power than all of Germany's
17 ministers put together.
Rarely does a written docu
ment go to Adenauer - except
from his closest aides - with
out first landing of Globke's
desk.
Who are the top men In
Adenauer's "secret cabinet?"
Who are these men who have
more influence than minis
ters? Two Men Closest
Apart from Globke, there
are two men closer to Ade
nauer than most others. There
are actually three, if one in
cludes retired banker Robert
Pferdemenges, a long - time
friend of Adenauer and a
close adviser.
Franz Josef Bach Is one of
the strong men. Bach heads
the Chancellory's foreign pol
icy section. He sits in Ade
nauer's front room; a sentry,
some call him. Anyone call
ing on Adenauer must first
pass through the "front
i room."
As foreign policy adviser.
Bach often discusses with
Adenauer the Chancellor's
plans about which even For
eign Minister Heinrich Von
Brentano has no inkling.
The up and coming man
among the backroom team is
supposed to be Karl Vialon.
Extremely clever - and very
ambitious - Vialon at 54 is
said to be the most likely suc
cessor to Globke when the
secretary of state has to re
tire through ill-health.
Vialon is head of the eco
nomic and finance section In
the Chancellory. Together
with his deputy, Hans Prass,
he is said to oppose popular
economics minister Ludwig
Erhard, a campaign with
which Adenauer is said not to
disagree, his own opposition
to Erhard being well known.
'Ministerial Directors'
There are several others In
the secret cabinet. The most
important, apart from Bach,
Globke and Vialon, is Fritz
Merker, who heads the de
fense, all-German affairs, Jus
tice and interior section.
These men, except Globke,
are "ministerial directors,"
one position below that of a
in other ministries, are Josef
Bachman, the justice section
deputy, and Hans A b i c h t,
deputy defense head.
In '.he hands of these men
is often tlie power over Ade
nauer's decisions. But, trust
ing few, close friends with
none, the only man with the
last word is Adenauer himself.
United Nations. N Y.
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko passed up a
chance Saturday to dedicate
a Russian peace statue at the
United Nations.
Instead, the dour Russian
remained at the Soviet em
bassy on New York's Park
ve. making plans for to
day's U. N. Securily council
meeting that will take up Rus
sia's charges of U S. "aggres
sion" arising from the U-2 spy
plane Incident.
Soviet Ambassador Arkady
A. Sobolev did the honors in
stead and laid heavy stress on
t'Pli-. the United Nations role In dis
armament in his address.
"The question of disarma
ment, general and complete
disarmament, is the most im
portant problem facing the
world today," he said.
Hammarskjold, r e p I ylng,
reminded the small audience
that the U.N. was "organized
as a 'center for harmonizing
the actions of nations' by pro
viding means for the solution
of international conflicts
through peaceful means such
as conciliation, negotiation
and mediation."
