Harry D. Callahan, manager of

another problem on his hands
Much unlisted material coming out
OF grabbag containers was literally
worth its weight in gold on the
black market.
A few shreWd selections struggled
off the post at that time could
have set man up in business or re-
tired him to small castle on the
Rhine.
At that time. too, young recruits
arriving from the States brought
funny ideas about life of luxury
overseas.
Col. Axater of Kansas City, whose
service dates back to World War
felt large part of the blame was
due to recruiting campaigns which
urged young men to join the Ali
Forces and see the world while
spending leaves on the Riviera OF
the Bavarian Alps.
The colonel was forced to tighten
up the detail all along the line tc
put the chill on some of Europe

American people"
1t was quite apparent also that
TINS productive force was no more
amazing than the speed with which
the Americans disarmed, broke up
their military machine and pulled
out OF Europe to the tune of Bring

By w. n. Shippen. Jr.

The theee-year task of pulling
down a colossal monument to the
haste ana waste of our bring the

close at Erding Air Force Base near
Munich.
Almost any day now the last
crate, box or bale will be opened
and property officers at long last
will have rough idea of what ma
terial was dumped at Erding. 1t
seems doubtful, however, if the
original cost will ever be known.
The overworked colonel in
charge, Karl S. Axater, thinks half
Ia billion dollars might be a good
guess. He believes almost half of
the material now sorted into 3d.
600 types of items can be turned to
some useful purpose.
The stuff that came rolling In
upside down, pell-mell and end
over-end in the mad rush to get
home that followed victory in
Europe included everything from
stove bolts to navigators' watches,
turbo-superchargers at $1,000 a
crack, or bomber tail assemblies.
From all over Europe, North
africa and the Near East the ex-
cess baggage of homeward- bound
Yanks was high-balled to Erding

fleets of aircraft.
At one time there were 1870 planes

Back in June, 1945, Erding was a
former Nazi airbase from which the
Luftwaffe in Africa had been sup
piled. Except for the runWays it
was nothing much to look at be-
