Quiet reigns today at the Landsberg DP camp, whose inhabitants last Sunday battled with German civilians, but it is apparent to observers that the Jews are apprehensive concerning the fate of the 20 Jews arrested after the disturbance and are particularly troubled by the continued absence of the two Jewish guards who disappeared last week-end from the nearby kibbutz at Diessen, a suburb of Landsberg.

The DP’s point out that no disciplinary action followed the slaying by Germans of displaced Jews at Stuttgart and Regensberg, but that the military authorities were quick to prosecute the 20 Jews. They also insist that military officials are half-hearted in their search for the missing guards. Both military and UNRRA officials are concerned over the possible behaviour of the displaced Jews should the 20 be convicted and should the search for the guards prove fruitless.
