Vows Quick Removal
|0f Nazis From Office
By the Associated Press.


MUNICH, Oct. 1.-Dr. Wilhelm
Hoegner, In his first press confer
ence as minister president Of Ba-
varia. yesterday promised that
Nazis would be quickly removed

1--WE can do very well without any
Nazis," he said.
DR.. Hoegner was placed in office
after Gen. George S. Patton, jr.,
was called to report to Gen. Eisen-
hover last week on progress OF de-
nazification in Bavaria. DR.. Hoeg-
ner's predecessor, Friedrich Schaef-
fer, whose resignation had been
hanging fire, was ousted Saturday.
II am definitely against keeping
Nazis in Office just to obtain ad-
ministrative efficiency" DR.. Hoeg-
ner said. 81 would prefer a small
number of decent people to a we'll
creased machine which required
use of Nazis to operate"
The German police, he said, have
been too poorly organized to cope
with numerous gangs OF armed
bandits who have been terrorizing
Bavaria by plundering farms and
isolated communities.
DR.. Hoegner said most of the
marauders, who in one recent week
made 1900 such attacks, were
professional criminals" recently

Russians Scorn Contention
That Patton Shuns Politics

MOSCOW, Oct. (R.-The for
eign commentator of Pravda de-
clared yesterday the attempts OF
some defenders of Gen. Patton ito
Justify his activity by claiming he is
professional soldier and not inter-
ested in politics are laughable."
Recent facts published by the
American press make it clear "that
some responsible authorities in the
American military administration
are guided not by decisions of the
Yalta and Berlin conferences but
by adoptions directed against these
decisions" the commentator said.

Congress to his plea. Senators and
Representative declared that he had
failed to give proper credit to the
record d-breaking achievement of labor
and management in war production
and intimated that his talk had
strengthened instead of weakened
their opposition to labor draft.
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney of
Wyoming summed up what seemed to
be the general feeling by asserting
that the Stimson speech gave San ut
terly unbalanced impression" of the
war production picture to the soldiers
and their families.
Secretary Stimson urged that un-
necessary absenteeism, and labor turn
over could be prevented by service
legislation. If there were sufficiently
heavy penalties for violation, it is
probably true that absences from the
job and quitting would be largely pre-
vented. But what of the effect on the
workers state of mind? If they were
sullen and resently over being held in
virtual labor slavery, would not effic-
iency and consequently, production,
suffer severely? There is only one
answer to that question. This is mat
ter that Mr.. Stimson did not touch on
at all, though anyone with the slight
est knowledge Of human nature knows
that it is of vital Importance.

NO HELP TO LABOR DRAFT

Henry l.. Stimson has done an ex-

that doesn't necessarily make him an
expert on industrial production and
labor relations. In fact, Secretary
Stimson showed that he was far from
being such an expert when he urged
adoption of national labor service leg
islation, specifically the May-Bailey
bill, in his recent radio address.
Instead of helping the cause for
which he pleaded, he did exactly the
opposite, judging from reactions in
