By REUEL S. MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 19, =~ Gen. Dwight. D. Hisephower wants to teach the German people that “crime doesn't pay.” He wants to do it by punishing those responsible for war crimes, § [not the German people as a whole. In measured words the five-star general sounded the théme of this I |country’s participation in the milidl |tary occupation of Germany. - “You can’t build peate on hate or with “a. club,” he declared. “You must find the war criminals and all must be punished. That's the only way I know to teach them that crime doesn’t pay.” Eisenhower, who is head of occupying forces in the American section of Germany and also U. S. representative on the allied control council in Berlin, made his views {clear yesterday following his triumphant return to America. “Ike” grinned his way through a

Before eating, Eisenhower pre= sented President Truman with “a flag bearing the blazing sword insignia of 8. H. A. E F.—supreme headquarters, allied expeditionary forces. > ‘It was at the press conference that genial Gen. Ike outlined his views on punishing German criminals but educating the remainder of Germans to a belief that aggres= sion and brutality won't get by in
a civilized world. As for punishment, Eisentiower said the German general staff which ‘has planned wars since 1806 must be destroyed. Members must be segregated so they cannot pass on their doctrines. Their records must be destroyed. ° He said 15,000 German war criminals had already been segregated by Anglo-American forces and there would be others. He said members of the storm
troops who were enrolled up to
September, 1944, should be consid= ered war criminals or at least that the burden of proving they were not should be on them. After that date Hitler filled S. S. ranks where ne could. Indicating that non-fraternization was not intended to show any basic unfriendliness toward the German people as such, he said it must con tinue to be applied to adults until

Farther back, in headquarters, | supply dumps, rest areas they swapped stories about Gen. Buckner today—like about the time he] arrived on the tiny Alaskan island base of Unmak. They gave Buckner an orderly there, a little southern private called “Po’ Dawg.” The general looked him over, and asked | what he had done in civilian life. |
“I was the best hog-caller in our country, suh,” said Po, Dawg. “I'm pretty good myself,” said] Buckner, “Do your stuff, Py Dawg.” el So Buckner and Po’ Dawg made | He( reir best and loudest calls ring) {up and down the bleak Aleutian | hillsides.
