Adenauer Sees Victory Backing Atomic Arms in Election
Adenauer and the Christian Democrats won a parliamentary majority amid a three party lineup in West Germany. Socialists opposed arming the Bundeswehr with atomic weapons and failed to sway voters. Final tallies show CD with 50.5 percent, Socialists 39.2 percent, Free Democrats 7.1 percent, with several minor parties below five percent. The result narrows to three parties in parliament and ends the Nazi era splinter groups.
