Thus emboldened, the council three weeks ago passed its first "ordinance," setting up the office of dogcatcher, requiring licenses for Richland dogs and specifying eight-foot leashes in public places. Nothing happened; the council was told that AEC lawyers would have to think it over. Last week, the Richland city council tried again. Angry over the way the Government was issuing rules about how householders should leave their garbage, the council decided to draft its ordinance No. 2, expressing its own ideas for garbage disposal in the model city.

...should grow. After five months as head of Rich-land's frustrated, ineffectual city council, McDonald discovered that there was no government in Richland except the Atomic Energy Commission, and its contractor,, the General Electric Co.

Both Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and Socialist Opposition Leader Kurt Schumacher have said that they do not want a German army. A public-opinion poll in the new republic showed that 60% of the Western Germans do not want to bear arms. Certainly, it was unrealistic to expect, as some Western military leaders have suggested, that Germans would long bear arms under foreign officers, i.e., under Western Union headquarters. Cried the influential Frankfurter Allgemeine last week: "You cannot buy German military ability for money, white bread and corned beef...
