All troops in the American zone have been ordered to help the Germans rebuild their devastated country, says xhe Associated Press Frankfurt correspondent. General McNarney will announce to-morrow details of the change. According to the official newspaper of the Army’s European headquarters, the Army is calling in all training manuals and films tending to instigate hate. Army officials became alarmed by the recent increase in incidents between soldiers and Germans, and also worried by the educational level of the American occupying troops. The average age is reported to be 19 and in some units the illiteracy rate is as high as 40 per cent.
