Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso, BC: 8/61 19) DER ALTE UP FOR ELECTION: Germany's august chancellor Konrad \ Adenauer, called "The Old One" has a load of problems on his 84 \ year-old shoulders. He is campaigning for re-election when the \ West Germans go to the polls on September 17th in the midst of \ the severe crisis over Berlin. On top of that: his main op- \ ponent for office is popular and youthful (48) Willy Brandt, \ mayor of Berlin whose name and statements are daily headline fare \ in Germany. \ Credit: BURT GLINN © 1961 MAGNUM PHOTOS
