Bad Toelz, Germany. (UP)—Gen. George S. Patton, outwardly unperturbed over being relieved of his Third Army command, said today that he carried out his Denazification orders "with the same vigor and loyalty which resulted in the victory over Germany.
Declaring that he "w welcomed" his new assignment, Patton added that "as I have spent only 29 days at home in the last three years, I naturally am interested in pressing it to a rapid conclusion."
Patton, in his grist pronouncement since Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower announced he was being shifted from company of Bavaria to the "paper" 15th army, intimated that he expected to go home soon.
Patton said he would have been UnAmerican indeed if he had not done his utermost as Bavarian Occupation commander to "prevent unnecessary deaths in Germany, now that the war is over."
He had contended, contrary to the stand of Eisenhower, that the retention of certain minor Nazis in administrative positions was necessary to save lives in Bavaria this winter.
"I am still of the belief that there are no out-and-out Nazis in positions of importance in Bavaria," Patton said. "Their removal already has been carried out."
But today he reiterated his belief that he had carried out Eisenhower's orders to deNazify Bavaria with full vigor and loyalty.

Still No Books, Dealers Lament As Students Swarm to Library
Still no books!
This was the wall of city and campus book store managers as the "book famine" at the University went into its second week today.
Students, faculty members, and the library also have been affected by the textbook shortage. Students
have been forced to go to the library for books which they cannot get—because someone else has beaten them to the book store—and the library supply of textbooks for class use is necessarily limited.
Faculty members have had to dig books out of their personal libraries for the reserve shelf, and the library has had to put out books which ordinarily are reserved for graduate students, C. M. Baker, director of libraries, said today. Doing this has,
