e. The minority believes in

tenn covering both temporary and
permanent employees.
"3. The minority believes in the
nonpartisan election of county
commissioners, because:
"a. Election on a ballot without
party designation tends to encour-
age able mon to serve the public.
"b. Business of the county
should be run solely on the basis
of efficiency.
&c. Unless a ballot without
party designation is provided then
the very great number of Federal
and District Of Columbia employees
in the county are excluded, by vir-
tue Of the Hatch Act, from running
for office.

and other municipalities the elect
ion of local officials on ballots
without party designation has

"The minority recognizes the
potential merit in the recommend
ations relating to the county en-
gineer, the county purchasing
agent, and the juvenile court, but
is convinced that as long as the
spoils system prevails at the top
in Montgomery County govern
ment, few benefits can be expect
ed from such recommendations.
"The minority calls attention to
the fact that the study committee
on county government was domi-
mated by persons who are either
connected with the Democratic
county organization or on the
county payroll; this is partly ex-
planned by the fact that many
other members of the committee
not so affiliated do not and did not
have sufficient interest to attend
and vote their convictions; how
ever, it seems clear that those
personally interested in maintain
ing the status quo were hardly in
position to consider the problems
from an objective point Of view.
The proposals before this COM
mittee arc largely party proposals
and the results will be recognized
as such. Until the voters of

COMEWHERE / have seen the
~ suggestion that the best way
for the United Nations to en-
force peace in Germany during
early months and years of oc-
cupation will be to adopt, as
nearly as possible, Nazi tactics
used in Nazi occupied coun-
tries.
Fear that a determined effort
to stamp out Nazi doctrine COM
pletely might tend to make
martyrs of UNI
Enforcing derground char
Peace acters would be
In GERMANY allayed under a
program of inn
posing Nazi regulations on
Nazis. 1t is generally assumed
that only a few Germans really
know of the extreme methods
adopted by Nazi officials in
occupied countries. A program
Of Nazi rules applied to the
Germans themselves would not
only serve to solve the inevita-
BILE problems of occupation but
would, at the same time, ac-
quaint all Germans with Nazi
methods and would tend to
make those Germans who have
been denied a full knowledge
of Nazi atrocities in other
lands despise the system and
thereby hasten the day when
hatred for Nazi-ism would be
accompanied with a desire for
whatever change is offered.
To condemn Nazi-isrn, on the
other hand, and to mete out
punishment for all who dared
sabotage efforts at rehahilita-
ton Of the German people,
would only serve to make
heroes of such patriots and de-
lay the day when Nazi-ism
could be stamped out. Stamp
ing it out one way or an
other stands out
NaZi-ism as the all-im-
Must Be portant task of
Stamped Out the United Ma
tons. Stamp
ing it out of their hearts, will
be permanent while stamping
it out through fear will only
be the means of having it
again raise it's ugly head to
cause world trouble in another
generation.
1t would perhaps be too Sc
we're to impose all the hard
ships that the occupied coun-
tries have been subjected to.
The killing of hundreds of
hostages in an effort to stamp
out opposition would never be
accepted by the rank and file
of people of the United Ma
tions, especially of the United
States. Substitution Of some
punishment such as the BAN
ishment of members of a fam
lily to some distant part of the
world might be better meth
cd than killing innocent people.
But whatever the application
constant effort to familiarize
the German people with the
fact that Nazi methods and
principles are being used will
surely beget disgust and
hatred for the Hitler era.
Certainly we don't want to
repeat our discredited effort Of
the years following the first
war to win goodwill for our
selves and for a domestic form
of government.

back human freedom. Here is how
he lived in the muck of an alien
land, living mostly on an ideal, and
here is how he died. There is nc
greater story in the war and Maj
John Huston and his valiant cam
era crews have told it excitingly and
with simple integrity worthy OF
it's hero.
Gen. Mark Clark's 5th Army is
the one that took San Pietro, one
of the toughest key spots ever re-
trieved from the Nazis, and the
harsh, hard facts of its conquest
are fully covered. They start with
a statement of the tactical plan in
volved, follow it through the earth
rocking days of the long, sometimes
losing, battle, and stay with it
through the return Of the natives
now free to till their fields and con-
vert the rubble of the village into
new homes.
The special fury of infantry ac-
ton has never been so well illus
trated as in San Pietro," nor the
details ever explained with such
dramatic clarity.
San Pietro, lying at the entrance
of the musically-named Liri Valley,
had to be taken, Gen. Clark ex-
plains in a foreword. 1--WE knew
it," he says, land the enemy knew

| it. We had to take 1t even though
the immediate cost would be high.
We took it, and the cost in relation
to the later advance was not ex-
ceSSive."
Maj. Huston's cameramen were in
on every inch of the take" They
photographed the tense, tired faces
of GI Joes, climbing the precipitous
mountains of rock, crawling through
terrifying mine fields, inching up to
and past scores of fortified hells
that the enemy had thrown up to
hold them. You see them throwing
grenades and then trying to burrow
into the earth to escape the answer
ing Nazi fire from a few yards
away. You follow the flight of the
grenade and see it land, and you
realize the price to be paid in death
and blood for a few barren, rocky
yards of an alien earth.
San Pietro" never lets you up for
breath, just as the actual partici-
pants in the battle never found
breathing time.
There is special dramatic ele-
ment in the photography of Maj.
Huston's film which has the effect of
carrying you into the frenzied midst
Of the battle itself. The earth was
shaking, the narrator says in all
those days, and the cameras literally
shake and swirl with it.

The end of San Pietro" is its only
quiet part and yet there is no dimi-
mutton in its impact.
Seven hundred year old San
Pietro is a ruin and under Its old,
fallen buildings are the bodies of
many of its loved ones. But the peo-
pie return to it from the caves and
the mountain Businesses where ci-
villains miraculously escape the in
fernal fury of battle.
You see them return, take stock
Of the living and bury the dead.
They are fed. They realize they are
free and they smile for the future
and try not to remember the imme-
diate past. The children, tattered
and grimy and hungry, smile first
and broadest. Time thenceforth can
only be kinder to them and they
know it instinctively.
They adjust in one way or another
and they 60 back to their fields to
turn them over. These scenes say
very simply and sincerely that peace

has come again to the village at the
entrance to the Liri Valley; and In
saying so they explain why it is that
CT Joe fights for places like San
Pietro and what heroic drama he
has performed in inching the Ger
man war machine of the face of the
earth.
