Bio Three Draws Pattern
For Occupation Of Reich

The tentative plan provides for
occupation of Germany by all three
major Allied powers, each in its
own designated zone, and is flexible
enough to permit France and other
nations, such as the Low Countries.
to share in the occupation machin-
cry.
Undersecretary of State Edward
R. Stettinius, Jr. announced Friday
that British, American and Russian
members of the advisory commits
sion had drawn up the tentative
plan, which now will be submitted
TO their respective governments for
study. France became a commission
member after the accord was reach
ed.
The present agreement concerns
only the machinery of dealing with
postwar Germany and not with oe-
tails of the treatment she will be
accorded by the victorious Allies,
an authoritative source emphasized.
The unanimity reached is consid-
cred an important step toward
smooth working occupation and post
war punitive or control measures
In practice 1t will mean that the
manner of occupation by any OF
the three or more powers involved
must be approved by all the others.
II will also mean that other major
actions regarding Germany will re-
quire the assent Of all parties 10
the agreement.
