A clearer picture of what is engaging the talents of General Connie Snow in Germany appears from a statement made public by John J. McCloy, United States High Commissioner for Germany, denying that he had ever considered anything in the nature of a general amnesty for German war criminals. Commissioner McCloy stated that any clemency action he may take in the future will be as a result of an objective investigation of the circumstances of each particular case by an Advisory Board of Clemency for War Criminals consisting of Presiding Justice David Peck of the Appellate Division in New York, General Conrad E. Snow, Legal Adviser to the State Department, and Frederick Moran, Chairman of the New York State Parole Board. Connie performed comparable duties while he was still with the War Department as a member of a board set up to review the court martial cases of our troops that were decided during the war.

Art French makes a belated, but nonetheless cordial and newsy reply to my birthday greetings that I sent him a couple of years ago. His older boy, Arthur Jr., graduated from Dartmouth in the Class of '38, is located in New Castle, Pa., married, and has two sons. The younger boy, Charles D., had two years at Dartmouth with the Class of '42, then finished in Springfield, Mass., with two years at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania after the war. Daughter Dorothy Elizabeth married an Amherst graduate who teaches and coaches at Worcester Academy, so Art and his wife keep the home fires burning and enjoy hearing about their five grandchildren.
