Of no dismemberment unless the

In the end forcible division would
not serve the purpose of keeping
Germany peaceful, and probably
would require constant outside
pressure to maintain. The German
people, it Is felt, would probably
develop a strong desire to restore
their national unity If they had not
themselves chosen to discard it.
Supporters Of various plans to
carve the Reich, however, claim
this procedure would reduce the
German people to a permanent
state Of weakness in which they
might enjoy economic prosperity
but would be unable to get to-
gether for a war effort.
Whatever happens to the Reich
eventually, 1t will in a sense be
split three ways during the period
of Allied military occupation. The
plan put forth by the European
Advisory Commission calls for the
Russian armies to occupy one part
Of Germany, the British another
and the Americans a third, with
French and other Allied forces hav-
ing at least symbolic participation.
A joint military commission sit
ting in Berlin, which is to be oc-
cupied by all the forces coopera-
lively, would provide standard ad-
ministrative, judicial, and other
procedures to make sure that all
the German people are treated
with equal justice.

STOCKTON. Ga, Aug. S.
Crushed in the twisted wreckage Of
a railroad coach. at least As COL
ored laborers homeward-bound for
the week end were killed and 80
others injured here late last night
when an Atlantic Coast Line pas
senger train hit a broken rail and
hurtled into a tracked freight.
Four more bodies were believed
pinned in the tangled mass of steel,
and work crews tonight were at
tempting to extricate them.
A hospital car carrying wounded
soldiers to Finney General Hospital
at Thomasville, Ga. was one of six
coaches derailed, but ACL officials
said only four servicemen were in
jured in the wreck and they only
slightly. The soldiers were taken
to Moody Field at Valdosta, Ga.
The last six cars of the 14-car
train, No. 81 en- route from Way
cross, Ga, to Montgomery, Ala, left
the tracks, ACL General Manager

one was injured in the sleeper, Mr..
Sibley's statement added.
The colored laborers, all employed
by the railroad, occupied a coach
belonging to another railroad but
under lease to ACL, Mr.. Sibley re-
ported. He described 1t as of all

Traffic was rerouted through Al

cleared, probably some time to-
night.

Army Purge Discloses|
Gathering Momentum
OF Crisis ii. Reich
~ the Associated Press.

-8y the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 5.-The gathering
momentum OF Germany's internal
crisis is disclosed strikingly in Adolf
Hitlers new order for ruthless
purge" Of the proud German Army.
Cficial quarters were leaning over
backward to avoid raising hopes Of
q quick collapse based on the Naxis'
latest admission Of widespread trea-
son, but some diplomats familiar
with the German scene were pleas
antly astonished at the ramiflcA-
tions OF the intrigue and treason
which the Fuehrer thinks are threat-
ening him.
The names Of plotters already ofi-
cially mentioned by the Germans
are significant enough, such as Col.
Gen. Ludwig Beck. former chief Of
star who admitted his guilt by
suicide" and Marshal Erwin Won
Witzleben,< former commander in
France. Others, gradually appear
ing, add weight to the roster OF high
officers and other personalities
caught In the purge.
:. Fromm Is Example.
An example is Col. Gen. Fromm,
who was commander in chief of Ger
! many's ersatzheer (home army un-
til Hitler handed that post to Helm
rich Himmler after the July 20 as
sassination attempt.
Gen. Fromm was named in a
speech by the gauleiter of Austria
as one of the ringleaders of the
anti-Hitler conspiracy.
Also named in last nights Ger
man communique was Gen. Fell
giebel, who was in charge of all
military communications.
Disclosures have been made by
various gauleiters at regional "loy-
atty rallies" staged to reassure Hit
Ter that the party rank and file ap-
proves of his miraculous" escape
from death.
Thus Karl Hanke, gauleiter of
Silesia, said prominent personality
In the old Catholic Centrist party
'(former Chancellor Bruening's old
party had been chosen by the con-
spiratorS to take over the civil ad-
ministration of Silesia.
Purge Is Spreading.
The gauleiter of Pomerania dis
closed that the dragnet was out for
certain elements in Pomerania who
spread the rumor that Hitler was
dead before the radio broadcast that
an attempt had been made on Hit
ler'S life"
The deputy gauleiter of Franconia
did not mention names but said,
The purge is going on in our dis
trict, too."
Such disclosures, coupled with the
recent high rewards offered for in
formation leading to the arrest of
Karl Goerdeler, once price dictator
of Germany, and for information
concerning Arthur Nebe, believed to
be high police functionary, show
that the purge is reaching out into
wide civilian as well as military
circles.

Occupation, 7 TotoI Disarmament
Due to Be First Terms for Reich

and many individual governments
have fat dossiers. This much seems
certain, that mass murderers such
as Hitler and Himmler will not
escape to sheltered exile.
The United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration still
has long way to 60, getting ready
for the task Of feeding, clothing and
sheltering millions of Europeans, a
mission of mercy which is expected
to prove unparalleled in history. Most
of its accomplishments thus far have
been in the planning fields and are
still as uncertain as the date of
victory.
UNRRA Tasks Outlined.
In Poland, the first big liberated
area, the organization still has no
arrangement with Russia.
1t has, too, the responsibility for
the return of displaced persons
prisoners Of war and labor batta-
lions-and preventing epidemics re-
sulting from famine, overwork and
bad care in occupied countries.
And in the wake of relief must
come some method for recoilstruc-
ton of Europe so that its millions
can turn from bare existence to
economic reconstruction. Without
this, Allied leaders say, black spots
of hand-to-mouth existence, peren-
NAL breeder of discomfort, viii re-
main to plague future peace.
Over all these problems is one
designed to prevent their reoccur-
renee, that of creating international
peace machinery. A start has been
made in principle. There is gen.
|eral belief here that it will take a
shape similar to the old League Of
Nations, with powerful inner
council made up of four nations
the United States, Britain, Russia
and China-awith perhaps the addi-
ton later of France and one repre-
sentative of the smaller nations.

Forcible Dismemberment
Believed Unsound Solution
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER,

Associated Press Stan Writer
If Germany is to be split up inte
small states after the war, the first
moves toward division almost Ger.
tainly will have to come from the
German people themselves.
This is the understanding in dip
lomatic quarters here, where the re.
suits of Allied studies ON the ad-
vantages which might accrue from
division are well known. Appar.
entity no final decisions have beer
made, but the weight of opinion Is
against forcibly breaking up the
Reich.
This would not bar the assign
ment to Poland of East Prussia and
other territory as both Poles and
Russians have proposed. Nor the
prolonged military occupation o1
Germany's western industrial areas
which the French Committee of Ma
tional Liberation suggested.
Welles' Ideas Considered.
Proposals for dismembering Ger
many as a measure for maintaining
peace have been discussed since the
war began. Recently former Un-
|derSecretary of State Sumner Welles
stirred new speculation by outlining
in his book plan for three German
states to replace the modern Ger
man nation.
Acting Secretary of State Stetti-
MUS explored the subject with the
British in London earlier this year.
The subject has entered also into
the considerations of the Allied Ad-
visory Commission for Europe, which
has planned Germany's immediate
postwar controls.
Officials here have been reluctant
to discuss what would be done with
German territory since it is pri-
marily postwar question to be
settled by joint action of the United
Nations. But it is possible to re-
port that at the present time the
general answer to the question will
Germany be divided?" is in the neg
ative.
If, however, the German people
want to divide themselves along the
lines Of their political organization
OF a century ago they will be en-
couraged to do so.

It does not happen often that a
player will hold an eight-card suit
and never bid it, especially when
his final contract is a small slam.
That is what happened at the Cav
endish club in New York recently.
Robert Won Engel, who held the
West cards, told me about 1t. He
admitted that his double OF one
heart was a rather unusual bid
and that there was danger that his
partner might leave the bid IN.
North and South were 40 on the
score, which probably explains why
South did not go to four hearts.
When East bid five diamonds, Won
Engel decided there was q fine
chance for u slam even II his part
ner held only one diamond honor.
II Is interesting to note that SIX
diamonds was easily made, while
six spades would go down TO defeat.
Won Engel was careful TO win the
first spade trick with the ace and
Immediately run small spade.
Then the ace OF diamonds was
forced out and declarers hand was
solid.
