U. S. MILITARY GOVERNOR IN BERLIN
 HAS DIFFICULT BUT INTERESTING JOB

and French zones of the city are apportioned among the governing agencies of the three zones in ac- cordance with rigidly determined schedules.
 It is an important part of Col. Howley's job to see that the SUD- plies allotted to his zone are dis tributed and utilized in manner to insure maintenance of the zone's economic and political life at as nearly normal levels as conditions will permit.
 The task of keeping the wheels in an occupied area turning, whether there is enough coal to do it with or not, is not new to the former Philadelphia advertising executive.
 After the fall of Cherbourp in June. 1914, he headed the Civil Affairs detachment which entered the city with the occupying forces. His immediate job there was to see that the city with it's wrecked port facilities was put on it's feet as quickly as possible. to supply the Armv's advance to Paris and the Rhine.
 Later. when Paris was liberated in August. l944. he took his Civil Affairs unit to that city and per formed the same kind of job on a much bigger scale during the re- mainder of the war in Europe. On July 4. 1945. he entered Berlin with the first American forces to arrive there. and set ur the military gov ernment for the U. s sector.
 Except for brief visits home. he has been in Berlin ever since, serv- ing as a sort of unofficial mayor of the U S-governed area, and a military Mr. Fixit for the crises that have arisen almost daily in both the citv's internal affairs and onr dealings with the Russians.
 Colonel Howley's wife and four children are with him in Germany.

Children S Tooth Decay
Is Six Times Repair Rate

Teeth of the average American
child are decaying six times as fast
as the Nations dentists can correct
the defects, Pennsylvania dentist
says.
Concern over the dental health
of children was expressed today by
DR. Frank w. Nash at the f1ve-day
postgraduate clinic sponsored by the
District Dental Society. The clinic
is being held at the Shoreham
Hotel
He blamed the situation on the
amount of sugar in the average diet
and the general view that the best
time to take a child to the dentist
is after school hours, on holidays
and vacation periods.
If the 10000 dentists in the coun-
try devoted so to 60 per cent of
their time to treating children, he
pointed out. they could see only
about half the youngsters once a
year.

Delays
Enacting Ordinances
ToAwaitCourtRu RULINGS

The Montgomery County Com
missioners yesterday decided to de-
lay enactment of ordinances pend
ing outcome of two Circuit Court
suits challenging consttutionality
of a law which gave the commits
sioners broad legislative authority.
The law, passed at the 1945 ses-
sion of the General Assembly, en-
powered the county heads to pass
any ordinance dealing with the
general welfare of the county. with
the exception of bond issue authori-
zations and matters affecting the
Liquor Board.
Thomas C. Kelley, assistant coun-
sci to the commissioners, advised
the group to hold off, on any new
ordinances until we see what Cir
cult Court does to us"
He referred to suits filed by James
H. Pugh asking the court to declare
the law unconstitutional as well as
ordinances regulating taxicabs and
slaughter houses.

Earlier, Albert E. Conradis. county
public utility agent, urged the board
to continue strict enforcement of
the taxicab ordinance. declaring
that county residents would have
no protection without it."
He told the commissioners he had
a list of taxicab drivers whose Ii
censes should be revoked or sus-
pended because of bad records
