Proud Army officers boast that the new
"has a temper like the devil before
dawn
That's Mai Gen. Alexander McCar-
rell SANDY" Patch. He and his soldiers
took over from the marines on Guadal-
canal after five months of fierce fighting.
The earliest account of Patch's ability
to tell 'em off" dates from his school
days. Mrs. Patch says If there ever was
a rule young Sandy didn't break she
never knew it. He was perpetually in
hot water-and loved it. He despised
discipline, and everywhere the long. lean,
wiry roughneck went, all the boys fol-
lowed him.
His father. rough-riding calvary
colonel, got tired whamming him and
nudged his sprout into West Point. He
figured little expert jerking around
would teach Alexander to say eyes, Sir
1t did. But Sandy soon was making
the lowest marks in his class and cor
railing cadets for bull sessions Old
1909-13 classmates here say he had a
crowd around him all the time listening
to his poker-faced yarns and wisecracks.
In self defense the conmandant made
him a cadet lieutenant.
He's All wildcat"
Alexander, called SANDY" after the
Scot fashion, now is SO, stands 6 feet in
his socks and weighs scant $50 pounds
but they say he's "all wildcat"
He was star track man at West Point
and won his letter pole-vaulting almost
IL feet, record in those days although
it wouldn't rate in big-time competition
now.
Sandy now has 25 years of military
service behind him. West Pointers Of
his day were too old to be battalion COM
manders in the last war and too young
to be regimental commanders. This
"lost generation" served as corps and
staff officers-with the exception of
Patch. He went to a British machine
gun school. The weapon was new at
that time and machine gunners got front
line action, fast. In short time Sandy
was back in France leading rapid-fire
troops in the Aisne-Marne, st. Mihiel
and Meuse- -Argonne offensives.

Harbor the American high command put

slightly at one eye as he gets talking.
Food through the blockade?" he says.
THAT question has military considera-
tions and on those questions military
decisions will be made
Cautioned by q caller that his long
career in philanthropy may lead him to
depend too much on the humanitarian
instincts of the American people, he
says:
THE people will see this right. What
choice have we? To feed and clothe the
rescued populations or chaos. In my
experience If you give the facts to the
people they will make the right de-
cisions."
He is very sensitive to public opinion
and public criticism. He speaks with
pride of the fact that his agency has
only so persons on the payroll, including
stenographerS.

He is one man who enjoys living in
the cramped quarters Washington af-

occupies half a block), their large coun-

rival the palaces of Europe. Now that
his daughter is married and his two sons
are in the Army, the Lehmans find par

His son Peter has won his wings with
the Royal Canadian Air Force (Our

The American campaign to help defeat
the Axis by feeding rescued peoples has
begun under Herbert H. Lehman, direc-
tor of foreign relief and rehabilitation.
His representative, Fred Hoeh1er of
Chicago, former director of the American
Public Welfare Association. has arrived
In North Africa and Is making a quick
the situation. Shipments of food, cloth
ing and medical SUPPLIES are at sea.
French North Africa and its population
of 100000 were blackmailed into slow
starvation by the Axis power across the
Mediterranean. The suppressed popula-
ton Of Occupied France will now have
an opportunity to witness what happens
when French citizens are rescued from
domination and blockade-and Mr..
Lehman has the enormous job of making
that demonstration.
Mr. Hoehler stepped in and took COM
mand at the front when his superior,
william Hodson, was killed. He was to
have been on the same plane In which
Mr. Hodson, former welfare head in New
York City, and "a soldiers and other
civilians were killed In the Surinam
jungles on January Is. Priorities saved
his life. He left on later plane. He
has a small staff with him. Additional
staff is on its way by plane and by ship.
Mr.. Lehman got on the job a little
late. He arrived in Washington just a
month after Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover landed in Algiers. The plan had
been to set up such an agency well in
advance of opening new front and
rescuing populations. But more impor-
tant things delayed it. Directly on get
ting word from the President, Mr.. Leh-
man resigned as Governor of New York.
Conferred With Hoover.
First thing he did on getting this as
signment was to call on Herbert Hoover,
the man who fed Europe in the last war,
to ask his advice. Mr.. Lehman found
himself and the ex-President in general
agreement as to what was to be DONE
and one of Mr.. Lehman's right-hand

who headed relief operations in the Near
East and Russia when Mr.. Hoover was
food administrator.
Mr.. Lehman is the short man with the

to see these days walking down Con-
necticut avenue from the Mayf1oWer
Hotel. where he is living. He has small
office in the State Department with a

office he will never lose the title) has a

strange to them Every member of the
faculty. military and civilian, will tell
you, somewhat indignantly, that there's
not an atom of truth in this suggestion,
and that If the writers had taken the
trouble to inquire into the course, even
superficially, they'd have learned as
much. The civil affairs officers who will
be assigned to staff duty all over our far
flung battlefronts will be charged only
with maintaining order in conquered
towns and provinces, with keeping the
status quo so far as possible, with letting
the people carry on their laws and Gus
toms to the largest extent practicable.
They're not involved, even remotely, in
postwar planning. That's not their
headache. Military governments, of one
sort or another. always have followed
advancing armies And there1l be such
ad interim administrations as long as
there are wars.
How 1t Functions.
1t may be assumed to illustrate, that a
United States expeditionary force has
invaded the European continent at some
point, and that a rapid advance has
been made into the interior. A battle
still RACES, but behind this zone of COM
bat there's long stretch to the coast
line known as the zone of communica-
tions. Within this region from which
the enemy has been expelled military
government must be set up in cities and
probably FOR entire provinces counties
or departments. officers assigned to
civil affairs are with the combat troops
and they stay with their organizations,
doing what they can to restore some
semblance of order in the towns as they
are captured.
The advance civil affairs officers send
back reports on conditions among civil
ianS and the physical shape of their
towns and villages. When the attacking
army has pressed far enough ahead to
assure even temporary lull behind the
lines, the commanding general, whose
GHQ probably is at coastal point, sends
teams of civil affairs officers all over the
zone of communications. In the larger
towns separate administrations will be
organized These measures may be tenn
pOrary, for the enemy may counterattack
and win back at least portion of the
territory. But no time can be lost in
restoring at least vestige of normality
to the Inhabited places.
Military government is as necessary in
the invasion Of friendly country as of
a hostile land. A sympathetic populace
may make the task lot easier, but it's
nonetheless essential for the Army to
take necessary measures to prevent
chaotic conditions which may hamper
the advancing troops. A town may be
bombed into ruins. The people may be
starving. Their homes probably have
been in the path Of battle, and Their civil
government disrupted completely If the
friendly country has been held long by
the enemy-as in the case of France
Belgium, Norway and Poland-the civil
functionnaires may have been puppets
OF the conquerors or else forced TO carry
out their DEGREES. There's unlikely to be
any semblance to orderly government.
