II takes from s 10 8 cargo
ships 10 move the average in
fantry divisions equipment, and
from s 10 3 troop transports to

corning the feasibility of a tenn
porary interim zoning ordnance to
control commercial and industrial
construction in residential areas,
until final zoning ordnance can
be completed. City Attorney VII
liam B. Campbell was requested to
study the matter for presentation
to the Council.
George w. Sinlons, Jr., planning
consultant of Jacksonville, Fla,
who is conducting an economic and
industrial survey of the Wilmington
area for the City, pointed out that
this type of ordnance has proved
successful in other cities, while a
permanent zoning plan is being
developed. He referred to the City
Of Tampa, Fla, the zoning plan
Of which he formulated.
The question of off-street parking
in the business area was heard,
with the idea of providing more
readily accessible parking space

met were ordered to remain close
to their posts over the four-day
Easter holiday and it was learned
that arrangements had been made
to call Parliament back into session
Immediately if the German col
lapse should come during Parlia-
ment's eight-day recess.
Churchills optimistic prediction
was made in a letter endorsing a
liberal candidate for Commons in

In it the Prime Minister said:
THE endurance of the British
people and the steadfast devotion
of the fighting services have at

Appointment of Gen. Claw
As Reich Administra-
tor Announced
WASHINGTON, March 2e.-tYH

WASHINGTON, March 29.-tR-
Assignment of Maj. Gen. Lucius D
Clay as civil affairs adninistra
tor in occupied Germany led to-
night to predictions of less mill
tary intervention in affairs of the
American home front.
Clay was deputy director of the
Office Of War Mobilization and Re.
conversion under James F. Byrnes
in charge of production programs
He has been criticized by mem.
beers Of Byrnes' Civilian Advisory
Committee for allegedly permit
ting the Army to shape much Of
OWMR's. policy.
One possible choice as his sue.
cessor, mentioned in civilian wal
agency circles, was Colonel Bryan
Houston, former rationing director
of OPA. At OPA Houston was
known for liberal ration policies
and for an oft-repeated express
sion: Lets give the civilians a
break"
However, spokesman o r
OWMR discouraged speculation on
Houston, declaring that Brynes
has not yet made decision.
Most war agency sources ac-
knowledged the hope that a civil
ian would get the assignment.
Houston, a Texan, is in uniform.
He was with the Army Service
Forces n d n General Brehon
Somervell before and after his
OPA tour of duty, and handled
procurement and surplus disposal
matters. He now is in Army pub
lie relations, in charge of ASST mat
tiers.
Fred Searls, Jr., former WPB
official and now General Clay's dep
uty in OWMR has been suggest
ed as another possible choice. Clay
will leave the country within a
few days. President Roosevelt
announced, as deputy to General
Dwight D. Eisenhower in charge
of civil affairs when General Els
enhower, as supreme commander,
assumes control under the arrange
ment agreed upon for the occu-
patton of Germany" His authority
presumably will cover only the
south German territory which is
to be occupied by Americans.
Eisenhower asked for Clay three
weeks ago, Mr.. Roosevelt said, but
the designation was delayed be-
cause of an OWMR agreement
with the Army that Clay would re-
main with Eyrnes until April l.

particularly qualified for the Ger
