taken for granted that this manage ment would be removed and its members arrested.
 On the contrary, Mayr and his as- sociates convinced our military gov ernment that they were efficient" and now they are bossing the factor ieS.
 The effect of this attitude on forS eign workers and anti-Nazis among the Germans is bad.
 Many of our government officers take highly legalistic attitudes and say that where Nazi officials have contracts, with pension rights in- volved. we cannot impair those pen- sion rights until the NaZi is proven a war criminal or some court inter venes to set aside the contract.
 pr. Brill, the anti-Nazi governing president of Thuringia, has proposed rule-of thumb test that has not yet been acted upon. He suggests that anybody who was Nazi before President Hindenburg legalized the National Socialist position should be tossed out. He would be particularly tolerent of those who became Nazis after April 30, 1887, since when entire groups were forced col lectively into the party.
 Most anti-Nazis do not accept this test. They feel that it would give the benefit of too much doubt to members of a party that by self proclamation was revolutionary. OVER-LEGALISTI
 Among other instances of over legalitic procedure that is bringing the Allied occupation into disrepute, there is the plight of the few hun- dred Jews who remained alive out side of death camps. In at least one city, I have found, these still are receiving only half rationS be- cause the AMG has taken over the Nazi distribution system which thus discriminated against Jews, with out changing the rations.
 Or consider displaced persons. We give them shelter, clothing and 2000 calories of food day. We encourage them to volunteer to work for us. If they do, they must leave the camps and find their ow shelter-and must live on the 900 calories a day al- lowed for the German civilian pop

were called back to build war ma terial for Hitler, though they re- nounced American citizenship and though there is evidence that they belonged to the Bund and other Nazi organizations and were in contact with Nazi government representa- tives before they sailed.
 A Gestapo office was maintained on the' plant premises, with 300 SS women, and there was a camp for SS men about mile away. The SS was continually called in and they ruthlessly used rubber truncheons rifle butts and bloodhounds on the prisoner -laborers.
 Mayr justifies this on the ground that the workers were very 'ob- stinate" and the Russians in par ticular were given to 'plundering."
 Most workers got the customary starvation diet of watery soup and 200 grams of bread daily, but Hun

ulation.
 In half dozen instances where Nazis continued as mayors I have learned that anti-Nazis had their homes communicated for military use while Nazis continued to live at home.
 To maintain it's non-political at titude most military governments have forbidden formation of anti Nazi committees, and some of those permitted are unmolested on the ground as stated by one officer, that they must not be forbidden be- cause officially they don't exist

garian Jewesses were given even less than that. Babies were taken from mothers two days after birth, and did. More than half the female work CTS died from tuberculosis. Many could not eat regular food as much as eight weeks after liberation.
 Most workers were paid 40 pfennigs an hour. After charges for barracks and food they had about 40 marks a month left. But Jewesses got nothing, because they had been rented out" by the SS.
 FREQUENT ACCIDENTS
 Fatigue and undernourishment made accidents frequent. A few days after losing finger or hand or arm, Dr. Koerbel would declare an injured worker fit for return to duty.
 I recapituate this situation not as another and belated horror tale, but because of what happened when Fallersleben was liberated. It was
