German Foreign Minister Walter Scheel makes beneficiary record. Mr. Scheel, Foreign minister - of the present Socialist/ liberal government coalition in Bonn has been known to have a knack for singing in a gentleman's choir for quite some time. When now asked by a producer to sing for a single record whose profits would be contributed to certain German beneficiary organizations, the good humored politician agreed right away. It was a two hours' work for Mr. Scheel and his choir from Dusseldorf to finish this record in folklore style. Afterwards, however, Mr. Scheel admitted that he much rather stays in his line than becoming a professional singer. On Dec. 6th, 1973 the minister will present this beneficiary record to the German public for the first time, he will appear in a German TV Show entitled "Aktion Sorgenkind" to do so.
