Prof. George Cameron of the Uni

Of a rubber compound. He did his

mountain ledge and 100 feet above

appears with remarkable clarity"
Mr.. Cameron said. II know nov

in an inaccessible spot. The full
secret, however, is one that l shall
not divulge until l have had fur

AMG Top Man
In Munich Has
Mammoth Task

MUNICH.-Murray D. Van Wag'
goner. former governor of Mich.
gan feels that he has a big job on
his hands here as military govern.
or Of Bavaria. n of the three
laender (provinces) in the Ameri-
can zone Of occupation in Germany.
Van Waggoner is less concerned
with the actual execution of policy
than he is with supervision of the
way in which the elected German
officials put these policies into eff.
feet.
But the field of this supervision is
much broader than It would be in
a state government at home. he
says. In the absence Of any fed
eral government, the laender or
state administrations must be
both.
Comparing the two jobs. Van
Waggoner points out that gov

quently have the assistance Of
organized commissions in broad
fields Of policy like public utilities
or conservation.
He has studied the possibilities
of such a reform here. But so
far, he says. he has not proposed
it formally or in private CONVERSE
tons with the Bavarian leaders.
Sees Many Callers
In the governors office in Lam
sing, Mich, Van Waggoner says, he
saw callers during office hours on
the average of one every Is min
utes. Here, outside of his own i'm
mediate staff, he sees perhaps
three each day. But the volume
of correspondence and reports is
immensely greater, he says.
He finds the setup Of American
military government is sometimes
cumbersome and unresponsive.
"At home" Van Waggoner ex-
plains, when you decided to do
something you called in the people
who were involved and went ahead
with the job. IF we decide here
in Munich that we want to make
some move, it must be approved in
Berlin, Frankfurt and a dozen other
places. BY the time it gets
back to us, we may have changed
our minds or the whole problem
may even have ceased to exist"
He agrees that teaching the
forms of democratic government
to the Germans is a task of inn
proportions. He does not
believe that the Americans and
the other occupying powers r
proceeding too quickly in turning
authority to the local officials.
Some Never Learn
There are some people," he
says, "who never learn to swim I'M
til they are pushed off the end of a
He adds %tolerantly: "Of course,
they will make some mistakes"
Among the bars to genuine Dem
progress there are two fac
tors, Van Waggoner thinks. which
outweigh the others.
One is an entrenched and hugely
civil service which starts its
protection at the top instead of at
he bottom. 1T is almost impossi-
