official at fallinrboslal i i the dpaccs office is situuted on the l round floor of a block just inside the gates of a larc german barracks which previously housed i a unit of the wchrmacht the dpacgs commander is a retired majorv bluff and hearty wearing on his control commission uniform the ribbons of the two world wars and the mbe he is in terested in liis work and the human problems with which he has to- deal every day to keep him busy the supply nificier assisted by dp clerks is working out the ra tion in the clerical oltice the hntisl clerk with spectacles perched on the end of his nosc is toiling at the statistical report assisted by a most attractive fair headed estonian girl i in her early twenties the camp population is accurately recorded and it is interesting to note that there have been 19 births since the last monthly report thus the dp problem grows the employment chart shows that many dps arc working in local industries approximately 50 per cent are employed this might seem a good percentage and could be misinterpreted as evidence that the dps are being absorbed econ omically into their present german refuge but this is not the case many are employed in the main tenance of the camps whole others are working on temporary projects for the army a glance at the electricity con sumption chart shows that the camp ration is underdrawn electricity has to be paid for and is therefore severely rationed to keep the op eration costs of the camp as low as possible this reveals that the camp police of whom there are a dozen to keep out unlawful entrants and to maintain discipline are doing their job and ensuring that no unwarranted consumption of el- ectriclty is taking place at the camp leaders office we find a white headed latvian in his middle fifties he was formerly a professor at the university of riga and was democratically elected by the camp inhabitants to represent them with him we collect the dpaccs doctor an estonian paid to safeguard the health of the camp inhabitants and start on the tour of inspection outside the office is an iro car and the iro eligibility officer is in the camp to screen the population from the point of view of eligibly
