They're magnificent warriors. Maybe that's enough. Maybe they shouldnt be expected to be combinations won their battles and saved our nation Our gratitude and our affection should be theirs forever. Probably it isn't fair to move them into positions where their remarks their restless reactions or perhaps their plain inability to handle matters other than military tend to Smudge the sheen from their splendor and reduce the stature Of what should be historical heroes.
 From thls distance, the main charges against him seem to be two. The first is that he was using some former Nazs in civilian government posts in his zone the principal one being Friedrich Fritz echaefier who'd been 56t tip a5 civilian governor es se region The other was that he wasn't sufficiently cone cerned over the welfare of dbplaced Jews Still in concentration camps in the occupied zone: Some Of it k charged, shipped to Warsaw and similar places where there b no room for them.

Un-American

President Truman has received a request from the House Committee on UnAmercan Activities which itself seems somewhat unAmercan He has been asked to order all agencies terminated or about to be ended to turn over all their personnel and security records to the committed This would mean putting political and personal dos. Sers of thousands of citizens into the hands of potca group of considerable power and immunity. Of course such might be used only reference in cases a ready well documented and well investigated But there no guarantee of such use
 The committee has done some commendable work in the past It has alSo occasion acted with lack of fair ness and intelligence There to ask whether this ol any other congressional committee should be entrusted permanently and without question, with such huge file of confidential records Somehow in method though not n se would smack little too much of Europes notorious secre. police.

During the war, young and ndivdualiStlc com. mentator who'd never been closer to the shooting than his room in New York suddenly roared to at least regional fame by his interpretations predictions and tactical analyses of the battle news Somebody asked him he weren't little sels-conscIouS about this sort of thing in view of the fact that real war correspondents with real combat experience were constantly returning from the fighting, and were available for such programs.
 Ills answer was that he wasn't. After they've been home c week, I'm even with them" he said, and he was mostly correct, because things changed that fast. They still do.
 On the surface, Patton's troubles began Sept 22 when he gave interview to the press in which he uttered some personal observations that sounded pretty bad. Those who know the general know that he can be called an exhibitionis that he seems to think he has theatrical role as military bad man and that it's lip to him to cuss and gwagger and say fantastic things or the public will be disappointed
 In fact he's said as much. He said it for one thing in public ct the great public reception given him in Los Angeles. Before the terrific throng ass sembled in that cltys great stadium he poured pros fanity through the believing lcud-speakers-a peTs foFmance that later brought public protest from the church pOopleand he paused. ct point to say, in effect fm not really like this, at ali and Tim dcns it only hecaues' I'm expected to"
