Rush Receives Vietnam Demonstrators - DER TAGESSPIEGEL, et al. Ambassador Kenneth Rush on Friday received in his office a delegation of demonstrators against the war in Vietnam who handed him a resolution calling for the immediate withdrawal of the U.S. troops from Vietnam. The demonstration staged by some 100 persons in front of the Embassy building passed without incidents.
A minor demonstration without incidents took place in front of the U.S. Mission Berlin.
[--rwr note: I believe that this was the one which included dependents of U.S. personnel. It was well hyped beforehand, and on this day when Agnew was generating heat about media coverage, I watched an ABC television news crew (Germans, with Hamburg license plates on their rental vehicle, who were stringing for ABC) change its camera angle and then coach the demonstrators, in order to make the small group look larger. My own rough count of the demonstrators matched the number shown in the USIS report.]
Several papers also reported about the "march against death" in Washington.
DM10,000 Held Out for Arrest of Bomb Plotters - DER TAGESSPIEGEL,
et
al. The reward held out for the identification and arrest of the persons
who planted a bomb in the Berlin Jewish Community Center on Monday, Nov.
10th, has by now been increased to DM10,000. All clues received by
the police so far have turned out to be worthless.
Apollo 12 on Precise Moon Course - DER TAGESSPIEGEL
6000 Demonstrate in Berlin - DER TAGESSPEIGEL et al. Some 6000 demonstrators, most of them youngsters, participated in a march of protest staged by the extraparliamentary opposition in Berlin on the occasion of the Vietnam Moratorium. The demonstrators marched from the Neukoelln section of the city to the Greek Military Mission in Uhlandstrasse. There were no incidents.
The demonstration ended with reading a "message to the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam" demanding the immediate withdrawal of the American troops from Vietnam.
A speaker of the left-wing groups spoke up for violence against objects because "all illusions about a peaceful way of socialism have been destroyed." A police photographer was attacked and injured during the demonstration.
[--rwr note: this contradiction of the "no incidents" statement may be due this account coming from multiple papers.]
The expected dog burning in front of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church did not take place. Instead of a poodle the demonstrators brought an Alsatian who carried a sign reading: "We have not ever started wars. Shall we suffer for them?"
Members of the SEW and FDJ protested against the war in Vietnam at Kurfuerstendamm and Joachimsthaler Strasse on Saturday morning.
NEUES DEUTSCHLAND - Thousands of West Berlin residents, most of them
youngsters and students, on Saturday took part in a powerful demonstration
of protest against the U.S. aggression in Vietnam.
