Nuremberg Awakened Public
Says Berlin UNRRA Director
■Extremely pessimistic over the future of Germany, Harold Fish
bcin. Berlin Area UNRRA Director, expressed his views on the oocu-
pation in an interview recently while on furlough from his post.
Enjoying a five-week vacation from his duties in the American zone
of Berlin, Fishbein leaves his residence in State College today to
resume work in Germany.
“Berlin, and much of Germany,
is today such a complete quag
mire that hope for a near future
economic recovery is impossible,”
staled Director Fishbein. “In fact,
it will necessitate 20 to 30 years
of the most earnest endeavors to
rebuild Germany.
“Germans to an astounding ex
tent wish to emigrate from their
homeland to a locality where they
do not find themselves penalized
severely from the beginning,”
commented Fishbein. “Few capi
talists will undertake a business
enterprise due to the chaotic and
uncertain existing conditions ”
Governing three UNRRA Dis
placed Persons camps is the task
which. Fishbein performs; each of
these is located in the American
zone of Berlin, and together con
tain 9000 Poli:h Jews.
In regard to the pertinent ques
tion as to Russian occupation of
Germany, Fishbein replied, “The
American contact with the Rus
sian zone is very limited, and our
only reports indicate but slight
disorder.”
Shortly before his departure for
America, Fishbein was present at
Nurenburg when the famed war
crimes verdicts were pronounced
upon leading Nazis. Of sentiment
expressed by the German people
toward the trial, Fishbein assert
ed that they would have prefer
red a death sentence for each of
the guilty.
Their reason for this—the plac
ing of complete blame upon the
leaders would have more com
pletely exonerated the German
people of war guilt.
“But the triel was a great suc
cess, for it awakened native Ger
mans to a realization of just how
rotten and dreadful was this plan
to subjugate nearly all of civiliza
tion,” stated Fishbein.
June, 1947, will see the end of
UNRRA, and following this, Fish
bein plans a return to the States
and to his home in State College.

available in the room off the
south-east end of Rec Hall. One
hundred gallons of punch will be
served during the evening.
Ray McKinley, his orchestra,
and vocalists, Chris Adams and
Teddy Norman, come to Penn
State from last night’s engage
ment at the Valencia Ballroom in
York. Tomorrow night they are
scheduled for a college dance at
Cornell University in Ithaca, New
York.
McKinley recently completed a
run at the Meadowbrook on the
Newark-Pompton Turnpike ' in
New Jersey. They are now doing a
series of one-nightstands along
the Eastern sea-board.
This new band, composed en
tirely of ex-Gl’s, is said to be the
talk of the music world with a
variety of new musical ideas and
effects. McKinley sparks the crew
with his drumming and drawling,
lazy and nonchalant style of
singing.
The noted rhythm singer, a na
tive of Fort Worth, Texas, started
his orchestra career about fifteen
years ago when he joined Ben Pol
lock’s band. Since that time he
has worked with Smith Ballew,
the Dorsey Brothers, Jimmy Dor
sey, and Will Bradley. During the
war, McKinley conducted the late
Glenn Miller’s Army Air Forces
band in the European Theatre of
Operations.
Charles Prutzman and Richard
Sarge are co-chairmen for the
Soph Hop. Committee members
are Robert Hirsh, William Jaffurs,
Ted LeFevre, Richard McAdams,
Mary Magas, and Morton Plesser.
