GI's Envy
 Flynn s Job
By ROBERT MUSEL

Dusseldorf. June S.-(UP)-"I un- degstand that you have the most envied job in occupied Germany y I said to the CT.
 "I'm just doing my duty modest ly answered Sgt. John Flynn, of Worcester, Mass, as he told another girl to lift up her skirts and open her blouse.
 We were standing near one of the Rhine bridges. Ahead of us several MP,s were screening-that is, questioning-some German girls and displaced Russian and Polish girls. A trim, little German blonde tripped our way.
 'Who says I got the best job?' Flynn wanted to know.
 "All the G.I.'s I've talked to in the S4th Division" I told him.
 'Shucks," said Flynn, Then, to the girl, "all right now, lift your skirt. A little higher"
 Flynn made motion. Like this" :" he said. "Okay. That's fine. Now open your blouse. Okay Beat it." Flynn sighed.
 Some of those guys who think this is easy ought to try it. Legs and stuff all day long"
 Tell me-" he said. You've been around Broadway. Do those pro- ducers get tired of looking at chorus girls, too?"
 T hadn't noticed"
 Well l do," said Flynn, as a displaced person whose figure cer- tainly wasn't misplaced moved to- ward us.
 Skirt" said Flynn, with ris- ing gesture.
 Up went the skirt.
 Blouse" he yawned.
 Open went the blouse.
 "Okay, move along Flynn yawned again.
 T get like this toward the end of the day. he explained. Earlier I'm . little more interested. My boss, It. Neal Creighton Detroit, Mich) gives me little pep talk now and then"
 When we first moved into this territory I used to be at it 10 and IF hours day. It. Creighton and the rest of our crew hardly slept at all.
 Tn view of your unequalled ob- ssrvation in this desert of non- fraternization, what do you think ef continental womanhood?
 'The ones I meet are lousy said Flynn.
 And with that he packed his por- table power-driven delousing outfit and hurried off.
 They got a good picture at camp tonight" he called over his shoul- der. Not woman in It."
 Worcester, Mass, Juen 8 - GU. P.) - Miss Marion Fitzgerald, 2, said today that the G. I. with "the most envied job in occupied Ger many" might be her f1ance, Serg- cant John Flynn of Worcester.
 Selective Service records showed that this city has no fewer than seven John Hymns in the services. but Miss Fitzgerald believed it might be her sweetheart because he is stationed at Dusseldorf.
 A United Press dispatch from Dusseldorf told how Flynn spent each day having girls lift their skirts and open their blouses while he deloused them.
 T had & letter from John, Mon- day, but he didn't mention what sort of work he was doing" said Miss Fitzgerald, an attractive office worker at a local war plant.
 Asked if she objected to her fance performing such tasks, she replied with a laugh:
 "Oh, I know him. I think it's all tight if he's ordered to do it."

LONDON, Feb. 2-Leon Hender-
son has declined a White House Of
fer to become chief American eco
nomic adviser in Germany during
the Allied occupation, it was learned
today.
The former chief of the Office of

don en- route to Washington, where
he will submit detailed report on
the problems of handling postwar
German industry and agriculture
based on the two-month trip in Eu-
rope he has just finished on special
assignment for the Foreign Eco
nomic Administration.
Friends said Mr.. Henderson has
decided to leave Government serv-
ice again when he gets back, pointing
out that he had accepted his pres
ent mission on a temporary basis.
However, there is already some
speculation that Mr.. Henderson
might be one of President Roose-
va . wy SlloioCS W lltdu Gllt AJON-
ernment lending agencies which the
George bill will separate from the
Commerce Department.
Mr.. HenderSons economic report
on Germany is not vet finished. but
1t is a safe bet that it will emphasize
the magnitude of the problems in
volved and the necessity of making
major policy decisions on the ad-
ministration of occupied territory
without further delay.
Another London visitor today is
Laughlin Currie, spcial administra-
tive assistant to the President and
former FEA official, who is en-
route to Switzerland. He will at
tempt to get the Swiss to oandon all
