Super-Subuxb

Hot weather brings back appalling
memories to the living. for when the
thermometer registers 80 degrees
the dead begin to stink. Hundreds
of thousands of them, the innocent
and the guilty alike yield up suffo-
eating moribund smell that sickens
those who survive.
This is no lightly bombed city.
but an area of perhaps 80 square
miles in which the standing building
is freak and the surviving house
phenomenon.
The prosperous ones had built
themselves a super-suburb. the
Green Belt. Here, surrounded by
green lawns and flower gardens live
prosperous professional people and
successful party officials. the own
ers of industry and their well-paid
managers. This area, no military
objective, was relatively unframed.
Military Government had comman-
deered the larger houses to billet its
officers and men. In the most pre-
possessing of them the commanding
officer and his staff lived and dined
and held their evening meetings.
Col. John X. Patterson, formerly
a civil engineer in Riverside. Calf,
held the post of commanding officer.
He came to Germany with no delu-
SONS of grandeur. He had no ambi-

ton but to go home. and yet he was
profoundly convinced of the neces-
sity of policing Germany for years
to come.
If a commanding officer is best
judged by his accomplishments, Col.
Patterson has done our Army proud,
for Military Government appeared
to be a model of efficiency. Its first
job was to bring about law and
order: law according to American
standards; order until a perma-
nent system of Government
could be devised.
The occupying troops under Colo
mel Patterson were but fraction of
the number necessary to govern the
remains of a modern municipality,
with its courts, schools and public
utilities Everywhere in Germany the
first function of MIG. is the same:
to select a group of German assist
ants who have been neither Nazis
nor affiliated with Nazi activities.
Keep 'Em Straight
PERHAPS the most spectacular
product of Military Government
was justice To insure it, we set up
courts to enforce our edicts and to
keeps the Germans from lawlessness.
The home Office building of a
large insurance company stood in
the very center of the city. Its mod
ern construction had saved it from
complete destruction. Although the
top stories had been blasted. the
first and second floors were disable.
Smaller offices were set aside for
administrators; the larger rooms
were converted into courts.
American officers, trained in the
law. sat on the judges benches. CTS
