T'jdgy. July SI. 1336 Number of Incidents Put Severe Strain on Relations Between U.S. Troops and Germans ; : . r,f .- in rc:por,p to the. outcry the tives got together witn German civil officials and new-paper ed- , itors to try to further rebuild American-German relations. I The efforts have be".un to . show results. This week, the minister-president of the state of Baden- Wurttemberc. Gerhard Mueller, told a press conference that the joint Allied - On-an efforts bad reduced '-r n :nsvr of incidents. Army officials and German leaders aliped that there was much still to be done. The incidents, they said, were i probably a natural result of a i system which puts young troops! at the peak of physical perfec-j tion in a strange land with a ' stranse lanrruase. T ie troops are free of home : -; ict'or- for the first time; and drift into bars and gambling ' dives w here liquor and women i cooperation with American is thrown in with a bunch of men who have been here." he said. "Before he has a chance to get into trouble there's some body around to tell him that the wild stories he's heard about Germany aren't true. In a gyro scope division most of the young kids have never been away from home before and as soon as some of them get this German beer inside them they go crazy." V S.

One sergeant with long ser vice overseas said the system called "gyroscoping" under which entire divisions are sent back to the United States and replaced by new ones probably was partially responsible for the rash of incidents."

Dr. C H. Keiss and C. C. Cor lis and their scienti.-t wives spent nearly a month at the 1 1 .364-foot level of volcanic mountain Manna Loa. studying through spectrographs, the sun's rays reflected off Mar; as the planet sped unusually fast to ward the earth. After about a month of analy sis at their VashiiKinn labora tory, they will be able to tell what ras are absorbed by the atmosphere on Mars, thus learn ing whether anything can live there "There is nothing I know of recorded previously that com pares with these plates." Keiss said. He feels the photographs will definitely contain informa tion needed to reach a definite conclusion. The Mars project was tiie first conducted at the new United States Government Observatory dedicated .hn c on the crystal clear heights of Maims Los. Collapse of Wall Kills Idaho Carpenter Fruitdale.
