The Job After Surrender

| At the time this was written there wa:
| little reason to doubt that Germany had sur
rendered and that the delay in officially an
nouncing it was due to Joseph Stalin's I'm
willingness to join President Truman anc
Prime Minister Winston Churchill in a 81
multaneous declaration.
The delay only adds to the feeling of anti
climax that has existed not only since the
false armistice announcement of a week age
Saturday but since it has been apparent that
Germany could not continue to fight much
longer.
The official announcement cannot overcome
this feeling.
It would be different if the surrender found
group in Germany with which the Big
Three could deal in the restoration Of peace.
There is no such group. So completely has
Hitler's influence degraded the German peo-
pie and the German state that no man, no
assembly of men. can tackle the tremendous
Job of reorganizing Germany's domestic at
fairs or conduct its governmental life.
This will have to be done by the powers
that overthrow the German military and the
Nazi party and it is not at all clear that the
proposed zones Of control will effect harmoni
ous cooperation or be lifted in generation
or even longer.
That there will be continued fighting is
clearly foreseen. The Dillingers and the Ca
pones and the Pretty Boy Floyds whom Hit.
Ter and Himmler raised up and trained to
murder will not easily surrender the must be
tracked to their lairs and killed. This will
not be easy. There is no harder war to win
than against bandits.
Even greater than this, in the demand upon
the occupying powers, is the great military
and civil armies that must be maintained in
Germany to prevent anarchy, complete break
down of domestic security and the re-educa-
ton of Germany's children lest another gen.
Grafton reach maturity to take over the ter
rible plotting of another war against the
world, such as the military caste and the
equally evil Nazis have just lost at such a
cost to the United Nations and to Germany
itself
Only by the rearing of generation in the
sound principles Of live-and-let-live can Ger
many ever attain an honorable position,
among the nations Of the earth. Lasting peace
and the security of civilization depend upon
the thoroughness with which this task is &C.
conaplished
Nevertheless with the seriousness of the
job that lies ahead, there is occasion for
thanks giving that the widespread slaughter
and destruction is at an end

No contrast could be greater
than Truman behind the same
desk in the big oval office. Apart
from old friends and Missouri
cronies, whom he has seen in
numbers, most of the President S
callers are experts of one sort or
another-military, diplomatic, eco

them with question.

Schwellenbach, who left the SEN

federal judgeship, is being report

post, perhaps that of Secretary of
Labor. But here, too, Truman is
proceeding cautiously.
A day or two after Roosevelt S
death, the members of the Roose-

Capt. George Welch of Pasadena

officer That's a way of ribbing the
visiting feather merchant, meaning
Miller.
There's quite a crowd in the
tent, but always room for one
more. And list 1t. Robert Mole
Maker, who is off on a 15-hour
mission in a B-24, has left a lot
of beer. with which he asked us
to celebrate his promotion - just
this evening-from second ieuten-
ant. >
Lieutenant Maker is a sunny-na-
tured guy from birmingham,
Mass. Besides being a bombar-
dier he is mess officer for the
Seahawk Squadron-a sign in the
chow tent reads, ''Mole's Moldy
Mess"-and is in charge of ath-
letics and other special services.
He used to play hockey with the
Boston Olympics. His wife, for
mer Marine sergeant, has quit the
Marines to have a baby back in
birmingham.
He left the tent, for his long
search mission along the China
coast, as blithely as if he were Oft
for Coney Island.
In the tent LIST 1t. Robert l..
Dewitt, Baltimore, who is cita-
tons officer for the squadron, is
piled with facetious demands that

Lieutenant Dewitt is a pilot with
38 missions and 457 combat hours
under his belt. His parents-Mrs.
Ernest A. Dewitt of Baltimore
and the late Colonel DeWitt-were
married on Corregidor Is years
ago. She was a first lieutenant in
the Army nurse corps then, and
he a second lieutenant of the Phil
ippine Scouts.

grin is gcaded into confessing that
he is practically engaged to
Miss Patricia Burns of Birning-

of duty in the Mediterranean,
where he was on that first great
low-level bombing of the Ploesti
oil center in Rumania, under Col.
killer Kane. And he finished
out his combat time in this theater
month ago. He has had about
IS missions in the Pacific, and 40

The tliers talk about hot mis-
sions and argue whether it's safe
to attack a certain place from I'M
der $500 feet. They reminisce about
leave in Sydney, and about earli-
err and ruggeder days in New
Guinea. They explain why the 43rd
Bombardment Group calls itself
by three nicknames.
One name-'The First Team
derives from the fact that the
43rd is the oldest heavy-bomber
group in this theater. It has sunk
or damaged more than a million
tons of Jap shipping.
The second anne is "Ken's

lar, who originated shipbombing
out here and who later became
a squadron commanding officer.
He was killed in a takeoff acct

casual observations of parents, rela
tives and neighbors.
II is important, DR.. Aldrich points1
out, for every baby to have a good
healthy cry This shows he's able 10
do something, on his own, about meet
ing lifc's problems. The too good
baby that never even whimpCrS may
not be very bright, other pediatri-
clans explain.
AS the baby grows older his crying
becomes less automatic ana more
specific. Then il is easier Ior the
mother to recognize what h~T child
wants by the pitch of his cry or the
expression on his face. Usaally il
takes about a month for tra cries
to become really Understandable, but
the change comes earlier in gil babies
than in boy babies.
AS the child gets older he gradual
ly eliminates from his list OF causes
for crying such things as loud sounds
and loss Of balance.
A little at a time he learns other
ways of making wants known. and
as he acquires speech the cry can
become a discarded nursery art.
1t seems likely, DR.. Aldrich ex.
plains, that baby walls are hangover
from prehistoric days, anyway.
The cavebaby had to yowl for his
own protection and early mothers
probably responded automatically by
fondling, feeding or warminr him.
Since modern babies can't realize
they are born into more enlightened
world with doctors nurses and proud
mamas and papas all ready 10 bring
them up like dollhouse flowers If
necessary, they cling TO the old ef-
fective way of seeing their needs are
attended to.
But if your baby cries continuous
ly maybe you'd better blame yourself.
"A vigorous cry is signal meant
to be Needed" says Dr. Aldrich, but
prolonged or undue crying in the new 4
born is evidence of the incompetence
of his caretakers."
The Rochester studies are the
first real effort ever made 10 fully
understand the cries of newborn
babies, and apply that knowledge to
handling them in the hospital nursery
during those first two weeks when
the mortality rate is the highest.

because the young baby hasn't
reached the stage of intelligence
where he can lie in his bassinet and
figure out that he'll be fondled if he
cries. All of the infants acts at this
stage are carried out on what is
called the subcortical, or reflex, level;
there is no more reasoning involved
than goes on in a kittens brain to
make him always land on his feet
when he falls.

The little one may be trying to let
his caretakers know that he is hun
cry, cold, wet, or that pin is stick
ing him.
Maybe loud sound has frightened
him, or he feels as if he's about to
fall. Then the baby usually kicks
and thrasheS around with his hands
in addition 10 crying.
In the first few weeks of life all
cries will sound much the same be-
cause they are an automatic response
TO any and every need. The wise
mother, il is explained, will simply
investigate until she finds out what
is wrong and then correct it.
If il isn't food, warmth or dry
clothes the baby wants; if all possibil-
ity of pain has been excluded, he may
just need to be picked up and cuddled.
Fondling probably eases nervous ten

Far ley, former Connecticut league base ball pitcher, and for several years tournament golfer at the Matta- tuck Country Club, now the Chase course near Southington mountain. MT.
