EGERN ON THE TEGERNSEE
Bavaria. July 16.--The major read
Gen. Eisenhower's order relaxing
the ban on fraternizing.
"Whew,' he said softly. ITS 60
ing to be just like Saturday night
in Joplin, Mo-, with all these GIs
and all these frauleins."
But there was no abrupt change
The order, allowing American sol
diers to talk to German grownups
on the street and in public places
Is almost 48 hours old now.
Perhaps it is stagefright. May
be they all feel little sheepish
But anyway, the American soldier
has fioundered around these two
days and has scarcely mustered UP
courage to whistle when he sees a
German girl.
Called Cruel and Inhuman.
A sergeant and two privates are
fair example. They had been
among those screaming the loudest
against the order that kept them
from even talking with Germans
saying it was ''cruel and inhuman.
Billeted in one of the picturesque
little chalets trimming the shores at
this lake resort, they had been ex-
posed daily to scores of bronze
Bavarian and Austrian bellies SUM-
bathing.
These three sat in a jeep today
parked at the edge of a softball
diamond. They were not fraterniZ-
ing. They were just talking about 1t
"It says that conversation with
adult Germans on the street and In
public places is okay," the sergeant
said.
A CT began untangling his legs
from the front seat of the jeep.
Does that mean"
"It means just what it says" the
sergeant said. Conversation
Cant you even touch them?'
the soldier asked.
The third spoke up
What" he asked, lis public
places?'"
That was as far as they had got.
Frauleins Do Not Sweep.
There may be several reason!
besides bashfulnesS.
Those who came swashbucklins
across France and Belgium sweep.
ing ladies off their feet have founc
the frauleins just do not sweep.
For one thing. most of their men
folk are home now. The discharge
of German soldiers by tens of thou.
sands daily has provided escorts fol
most young women-espeeially thu
most attractive ones.
And on the authority of tht

one), sour black bread, cheese ant

Commissioners Asked
To Reconsider Stand
On Randolph Bill

The Burroughs Citizens Associa-
ton today made public letter to
the District Commissioner urging
reconsideration of their recent OBJ
jections to the proposal OF Chair
man Randolph of the House Dis
trict Committee restricting con-
struction where objections are
voiced by a rleighborhood.
The Commissioner questioned the
constitutionality of the Randolph
provision that would prohibit Fed
eral agencies from granting per-
mission or priorities to build, If rs
per cent of the homeowners within
radius OF one-tenth of mile OBJ
ject on the grounds construction
would depreciate home values.
Bernard T. Dodder, president of
the citizens group, observed that the
bill simply adds another condition
to those bureaus that arbitrarily de-
eide who may build 1t SIM
ply considers whether the owner of
the land should be permitted to dip
into the life savings of his neighbors
as represented by their homes at a
time when the Government, because
of war necessity, arrogates to itself
the selection of who may build and
who may not build"
Unjust Attitude Cited.
Mr.. Dodder added that the same
owners who have paid taxes year
after year have not been permitted
to use their land"
you say it is unjust to deprive
an owner of the right to build when
he conforms to the building and
coming regulations, Mr.. Dodder
stated. ""Of course it is. But is il
not equally unjust that, because OF
temporary condition, the character
and property values OF an entire
neighborhood are deprecated and
cheapened permanenJly?"
The National Housing Agency has
permitted limited private construc-
ton in the District and set a CELL
ing of $4,000 per unit.
Objection mot Pertinent"
The civic official, replying to the
Commissioners argument that the
bill concerned a temporary issue and
therefore should not be added to
permanent legislation. observed that
the objection was mot pertinent" "
He added:
do you contend for minute that
an evil should not be remedied be-
cause it is temporary-or temporari-
ly indefinite as is the case here?'
A third criticism of the Commis-
sioners was that there was no valid
ity to the contention that person
could not build simply because ii
may offend the esthetic sense of
the neighborhood."
This is long haired term that
misrepresents the truth" Mr.. Dod-
der wrote. We object to construc-
ton of houses in our midst valued
at half that of existing homes"
