In the information on disarmament for 1967 she is the only one named as editor; She and Arno Klönne are mentioned in the editions of the extra-parliamentary opposition in the first half of 1968. In any case, in 1965 she was also a member of the campaign working committee and was also responsible for putting together the campaign's press service.

Later Beilmann was the editor of the links , the magazine of the Socialist Bureau (SB), which emerged from a current / faction of the aforementioned campaign ; in any case, their zero number from 1969 was responsible for them under press law. She also signed the papers that led to the establishment of the SB.

After all, it is in at least issue 1/1971 of the magazine “ werkhefte . magazine for problems of society and catholicism ”named as editor.

The vast majority of the bishops and the lay leadership in the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK) basically supported the government's course despite the existing skepticism about nuclear weapons.
