American. British And r russian Control
Of Reich Agreed With Center In Berlin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-4R-
British, American and Russian rep
resentatives in London have agreed
on military rule of Germany under
a coordinated policy directed by a
Supreme Allied Council.
Actual administration, under the
agreement, would be in separate
occupation zones. Provision is now
made for American, British, and
Russian zones, with French partici-
patton probably to be arranged.
Acting Secretary Of State Stettin-
Jus announced today that the out

European Advisory Commission.
Approval of the three govern

In all probability, the cinder-

Lake Forest will not be abandoned

Emory, executive director OF the
Housing Authority of the City OF
Wilmington, said yesterday.
MIR. Emory pointed out that the
future of the housing project here
cannot be decided until after the
war but he said one OF two things
probably would happen:
First, the project may come I'M
der the jurisdiction Of public low
rent housing, rather than war hous-
ing If this happens, tenants now
living in the community necessa-
rilv would have to be considered
under the public low-rent plan.
Second the projects could be
sold to a private owner. II this
occurs, the future of the tenants
would be determined by the private
owner.

of the project at Maffitt 7illage

Krug said in adding this type am
munition to the list of urgently

heavy trucks and tires, heavy ar
tillery and shells, assault ships ano
radar equipment.
More than $1,000 additional work

The appeal for this tremendou:

It is possible that the demoun-
