Award made to Brandt
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BONN, Sept. 27.
The former West German Chancellor, Mr Willy Brandt, has been awarded the first Reinhold Niebuhr Prize, worth SNZ42OO, for his work for freedom and peace as Chancellor and as former Mayor of West Berlin. The prize was presented to Mr Brandt by Mr Christopher Niebuhr, the son of the famous American Protestant theologian who died last year, and in whose name the prize will be awarded each year.
Mr Brandt shares this year’s award with the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, president of the Notre Dame University and head of the United States Civil Rights Commission, who received his prize last Thursday, in New York. Mr Brandt won the 1971 Nobel Peace Prize for his policy of reconciliation with the Soviet bloc.
