(See Editorial, Page 4)
The navy Is considering estab

similar to the Marine Barracks.
: While a navy source in Wash

indicated the site would be
near the Marine Barracks, locat
ed three miles northeast of the
city.
, Quoting the story:
1 "We have been looking all
over the country for a place in
which to set up a center for re
habilitation of personnel suffer
ing from malaria and filariasis,"
Moreell's naval aide told the
committee. "We finally decided
upon this location principally
because of the climatic condi
tions that exist there."
The purpose of the center, It
was reported, will be to reha
bilitate .naval - personnel,, cither
fitting them to return to active
service, or, l( this Is not pos
sible, fitting them for a return
to civilian life..
The center would' include ' 17
barracks buildings, costing
$920,000; mess hall, galley and
cooks' quarters, costing $360,

Bigger Occupational Army
May Be Needed in Germany
By WES GALLAGHER
MAGDEBURG, Germany,
April 20 (P) A far greater
army of occupation may be nec
essary in Germany than original
ly planned in view of the prob
lems experienced to date. '
Even with the vast number
of allied troops now in Germany,
the Job of administering the ter
ritory already overrun is prov
ing much more difficult than an
ticipated. Trouble In Store
' Germany now is a festering
sore in the heart of Europe,
housing a mass of misery un
heard of in modern history.
Twelve years of nazism and bru
tality are bearing a cancerous
fruit which can mean nothing
but years of trouble ahead. -
: No one knows this better than
Hitler, and 'he has the organiza
tion ready to help make the
trouble the newly - formed
Werewolves. .
.(One reason why a 'larger
army of occupation may be need
ed is suggested by a statement
made yesterday by Gen. Omar
im. Bradley, iztn army group
commander.
"In my opinion, he said,
"when he (the enemy) did not
quit last fall, after we had'
proved to nim mat ne was
licked, it was clear that we
would not be through until we
had occupied all of Germany.") ;
Unsuccessful Government
' There are not nearly enough
military government teams at
hand. Civil law broke down ,
in most towns when the nazis
departed, for they held all key
jobs. The Germans left behind
often try to solve the problem of
law and order as did their prede
