Four-club members work on such varied activities as owning and managing farm animals according to the latest scientific method, planning for efficient use of rural electric facilities, mapping their own and their neighbors' farms as to soil types and soil erosion, planning and preparing nutritious meals, cultivating a garden to supply those meals and surplus vegetables for the market, Introducing new seed varieties, landscaping the family home or the schoolhouse or church, developing parks, baseball diamonds, or organizing recreational activities for the community, organizing discussion groups on the problems of international peace or current economic In fact, they can De problems. found working on almost any activity Important to the home or the community.

Almost Universal. Four-clubs are now organized In every state in the Union; in the in London translate "Oberbuerger-meister-" as "Lord Mayor." Herr Ziegler aays frankly that hli work will be easier when the huge organization required to support the International military tribunal has folded its tents and departed. When he told me this 1 was rather surprised since at first blush it might seem that the city would benefit from all this American activity. However, when one considers that what the Americans here buy with the Germans own money (we print it and they have to redeem it) the profits can hardly seem desirable. The central German government, when there Is one, will eventually redeem the paper marks but all Germans will have to contribute In the form of taxes. In Nuernberg although as I said, the city budget had been cut 50 per cent, the taxes have already been Increased 334 per cent. The chief burden which the on the town and the one which presses down hard on the mayor, derives from the fact that it takes a lot of tons, volts and manpower to keep the wheels of justice moving.

In spite of this almost total eclipse of visible industrial existence I was surprised that the mayor placed first on his list of objectives, a restoration of Nuernbergs long - established reputation for expert craftsmanship for goods of high quality. Toys, of course, but also precision instruments, light machinery and pottery. "We cannot restore Nuernbergs its historical beauty, buildings which brought so many tourists here, said Mayor Ziegler, "but we can win back our reputation as hard workers and fine workers. The city has a long established record for industriousness and expert handicraft as producers of high quality goods. That reputation goes back to the middle ages. Of course we will have to be very patient. We must first rehabilitate our city, then we must wait for good raw materials which we must have to produce high quality products.

The mayor by no meani took for granted that America waa an endless source of supplies, that we would forever provide the food which Germany herself never had and never could produce. All he expected waa to be tided over until Germany could pay her own way and buy the food for her people and feed for her cattle. That brought little man right back thla keen-eyeto hla original theme. "Our small industries must get back on their feet so that we can aell our goods in the world market and obtain exchange for food Imports. Remember, he said, "the Russians have taken over Ger many's bread basket A great seg' ment of the country has been cut away. And a million and a quarter German food producers, who are have moved also back within the producing area of Germany. The Ruhr and Saar areas never could possibly feed themselves. Now more people are crowded into them, as well as Into this area where most of the land is already under cultivation. "These newcomers cannot raise food but they can work In our far tories and produce products who can buy the food from the rest of the world. To do that we must be allowed to get the raw materials and be permitted to trade in the world markets.

Through that office that morning had passed a Czech, a Belgian and a Hollander. The Czech came in to beg per mits to bring sugar into Germany which has none. The Czechs best beet fields have not been de stroyed. They cant ship the beet sugar abroad but they could easily n push it across the border where the Germans are starving for it And the Germans have great piles of unused salt. The Hollander said: "The Germans love my fish. They are starv lng. You are Importing food for them. My fish is rotting and there are still enough parts for agricultural machinery in Germany and plenty can be turned out in small factories which we must have if we are to continue our farming. The Belgian had the same story. From time immemorial Belgian cheap beef has gone to Luebec and other west German cities to go into German sausage. The Belgians have plenty of scrawny cattle which concocted into German sausage would be received only too gladly by the Germans. "Vhat shall I do with this cat tie?

I witnessed striking evidence of on the part of this Nuernberg business men. For the most part it represented the retailer but it is typical of the town. I walked through the nightmare of the Altstadt (the old town) which is within the ancient city wall and was the famous sight-seein- g center as well as the location of the main police station and city hall where the SS troops held out to the last man. The destruction is too horrible to dwell upon. It is an exaggerated Coventry. But all along the mam streets, now cleared of rubble, were brand new, well painted signs bearing the name of the shop owners who had once done business there with visitors from all the world and plain to see was the notice of a new address.
