One Policeman Only Guard.
At the gate of the white
House" stands a somewhat under
nourished looking policeman,
whose job is to salute cars enter
ing or leaving. When I asked
one of the Presidents aides
whether. in view Of the ever-pres-
ent danger of Communist
putsch, a more substantial guard
was not needed. he replied that
this was not possible, since any
armed German police would have
to serve under direct control of
the occupation powers.
To arm half a dozen German
policemen for DR.. Heuss' protec-
ton would be too complicated.
The government would have to
apply to the Allied high commits
sioners, who, In turn, would have
to refer the matter to their mil
itary advisers. The latter would
have to carry the request to their
respective general stats, which
might or might not give the re-
quested permission.
Fear of the Germans warlike
spirit, five years after their COL
lapse. is so great that they are
not even permitted to have shot
guns for hunting. This is a real
hardship. not only because they
are prevented from drawing on
the plentiful supply Of game for
food, but also because they can
not destroy the wild boars and
rabbits, which do real damage to
crops.
The matter has been considered
by the Allied authorities. but no
decision has been made yet to
let the Germans own firearms.
The French in particular are
adamant against the idea. The
possession OF firearms. they con-
tend. might foster a new genera
ton Of sharpshooters In Germany,
and that might threaten French
security.
