Spring was just around the corner. The U.S. Military Government felt the seasonal compulsion, and broke out with bright buds of optimism. First, Colonel Frank L. Howley, governor of Berlin's U.S. sector, heartily hailed the "unqualified success" of the joint occupation during its first six months, cheerily added the tactless and probably inaccurate boast that the U.S. now was the most influential power in Berlin.
