Good Neighbor Policy Takes Root In German Zone
In Giessen Germany an American GI incident underscored bungling and hostility but civil affairs offices push a goodwill program. Maj Isaac Pickhardt says violent behavior declines as German and U S officials cooperate through a German American advisory council. Army aid includes bomb crater fills, field leveling, church and refugee housing digs, and village water relief with local town criers announcing aid and volunteers donating monthly to clothes and toys.

German American tensions and housing strains in Giessen
Practiced Germany Practiced Germany make a farmer's convention pos sible. "None of those things made it any enemies," says Pickhardt. The biggest sore point in German American relations is th thousands of houses still requisitioned by the Army. New housing is being built for Army personnel, but it will be months before there is real relief. There is another problem that stumps Pickhardt: "I would guess that half of the illegitimate children in this area are fathered by Americans," he says. Another problem he can't do much about, is the chlorine which U. S. occupation officials insist must be used in every municipal water system. The deputy mayor of Giessen, Albert Osswald, says this is one of the biggest irritations. "Why do you insist on it?" he asks. "We never had it before, and we never had any epidemics either. It makes the tea and coffee taste terrible."
