it when civilian food shortages
were at a peak and partial blame
was being aimed at the armed

Patterson had no immediate
comment on the report which has
been in his hands for some time.
The committee found:

Gently.
To provide the cleanup men
with plenty of working room,
the residents moved their furni-
ture away from the walls into
the middle of the rooms.
And they also took all their
clothes out of the closets and
hung them on hangers outside
on the clothes-lines.
A local laundry and dry clean
ing man drove up to the
scene in his truck. He took
one look at all those clothes,
put his truck in reverse, spun
rapidly around, and fled in
sizable cloud of dust.
