Seeks 10 Wipe 0ui
Reich War Potential
By the Associated Press.


FRANKFURT, June 30.--Ger.
many's heavy industry. dominant
factor in two world wars, will be
scrapped for all time If American
views of four power control of Ger
many are accepted by Russia, Britain
and France.
This stern policy, which would
reduce Germany to the status of a
second-rate industrial power by
breaking up her dangerous war po-
tential, will be presented to the
quadripartite control council when
1t convenes in Berlin, it was learned
today.
The official policy of the four
governments has not been an
nounced, but no conflict was fore
seen here on the adoption of plan
which would smash German ability
to involve the world in another con-
fiict.
This would mean the end of such
great industrial empires as Krupp,
I. @. Farben, Siemens and Her.
mann Goering Stahlwerke, which
poured steel ornaments, chemicals,
rubber and aluminium into the NAV
of the German war machines and
gave Germany the industrial domi-
nation of Europe.
The man heading this gigantic
task for the Americans is Brig. Gen.
William Henry Draper, called from
the Pacific to head the economics
division of Gen. Eisenhower's control
staff for governing Germany.
Just how the breakup of German
heavy industry can be accomplished
is yet to be determined. The Allies
could refuse to give the Germans
permission to rebuild or operate
plants, or the equipment might be
moved outside Germany and set up
to produce for the benefit of other
nations.
THE economic disarmament of
Germany is prime requisite" one
economist said. '"The country's war
potential must be smashed. We
must take a hard policy, for any
thing less than that would not
bring home to the Germans their
war guilt"
"It is only in the past 80 days
that German industrialists have be-
gun to realize that they will not be
able to carry on their business at
the same old stand" he said. They
had hoped to go on as usual, but
now they are beginning to see what
the future holds for them And
they do not like it,"
The American policy, the econ
omist indicated, will be to permit
the operation of industries supply
ing essential needs of the German
people and of the occupying forces.
Material for the relief of formerly
occupied countries also may be pro-
duced, and light industry will be
encouraged.

Five chickens were stolen this

The birds weighed nearly five

Literature-St Starved Parisians Storm Ill-StOcked
Book Shops Along Seine; Fantastic Prices Paid
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
NEA Staff Correspondent

PARIS - The famous book
stalls on the banks of the Seine
are being ravished by eager
bookworms. as Parisians, de-
prived of literature during the
German occupation. descend up
on the limited supply of books,
comics, magazines and pamph-
lets that is now seeping into
France.
Bookstall owners are making
m oney hand over fist, and
shelves that once held first edi-
tions are swept clean by night
fall of detective stories, old
comics and confession magazines.
Anything sells in Paris today,
and at prices high in the black
market brackets. The publishing
business was almost at COM
plete standstill during the Nazi
occupation. For this reason ev-
erything from bound books to
backnumber newspapers costs
about ten times what they did
before the war.
The French are so avid for
reading matter and news of the
world that they are willing to
pay any price for few printed
words.
Where the situation assumes
the most serious proportions,
however, is in the realm of
school and text books. With the
reopening of schools and uni
versities all over France the
scarcity is causing serious head
aches in scholastic circles. Here,
too, the black market extends its
tentacles for the good reason
that bookstores have been un-
able to replenish their stocks
and cannot begin to meet the
demand.
COSTS SKYROCKET

Contract renewals, providing i'm proved terms for more than 100 workers in three South Norwalk shops, are reported by Organizer Lou Orons, of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. All these workers are members of Local 167.
 The renewal of the pact with the Luxor SpOrtswear Co. brings health benefits and higher minimums to the 30 workers employed by this firm. In addition, piece-rates are readjusted upward and foor-work- CTS and special machine operators get a $2 weekly increase.
 At the Perfect Robe Co. the firms 25 workers have likewise won health benefits and higher mini mums in renewal of the unions agreement.
 Negotiations with the M & s Robe Co.,, whose pact will not expire for some time to come, have resulted in the installation of an incentive plan for the 50 workers involved which immediately yielded a 12 per cent increase in earnings and is expected to result in an even greater increase in the near future.

State-W Wide Basis
 This action was taken by the executive board at its regular monthly meeting, when it was voted that beginning with the October session, quarterly meetings of the board would consist of a statewide meeting of all business agents whose locals are members of the State Council.
 Tt will be a good thing for the business agents of the building trades of Connecticut to get together every three months and discuss their joint problems" President Michael J. Barry of the State Council said. There are a number of important matters which need our attention, and the list is growing. Wage scales, the length of the work week, the exten- sion of our organizing campaign are issues which need the broadest con- sideration we can give them. This IS a step in the right direction" The executive board, under the plan adopted Wednesday, will continue to hold its regular meetings the first Wednesday in each month between the quarterly meetings.
 One of the high spots of the meeting was the unanimous feeling against General Order No. Al, which provides that wage rates for members of building and cOnstruc- ton unions must still be approved by the Wage Adjustment Board, whose authority has been extended until Nov. l8, l945.
 Straight To Washington
 In accordance with a vote of the board that the State Council protest this action, Secretary Treasurer James O'Kane immediately sent the follow ing letter to Herbert Rivers, secretary of the A.F.L.'s building and con struction trades department in Wash ington:
 ''Dear Sir and Brother:
 ''We of the Connecticut State Building & Construction Trades Council wish to be placed on record as being absolutely and conn., pletely at loss to understand the reasons for General Order No. Al
