He left here last night to attend the
funeral OF Senator Scrugham, his
Democratic colleague from Nevada,
who died last week end.
Senator McCarran's motion had
been rejected, 6 to S. by a vote Of q

possible in clarifying the present.

operating, and Swedish air lines are
making preparations to enter the

American Airlines, it was learned,
is hoping to expand through acuui-
sition Of American Export Air Lines,
subsidiary Of American Exports

the CAB to divest itself of its avia-

learned, has submitted to CAB q
brief asking permission to acquire

Moscow for Warsaw

MOSCOW, June rs R.-The van
guard of Polish factions who con-
ferred in Moscow on a new Polish
provisional government was expected
to leave today for Warsaw, where
the personnel of the new govern

his decision was being misinterpreted

Crowley Sees Reich
Rising 10 War Unless
Plants Are Stripped
By the Associated Press.

~ tA1e AeoVCi3tSu Etebe.
Foreign Economic Administra-
tor Leo T. Crowley told Congress
today the Allies must keep an
eye on Germany for genera
tions" or there'll be war again.
Mr. Crowley. in testimony read to
the Senate committee studying the
German economic and political set
up by Henry H. Fowler, chief of
REA's enemy branch, proposed that
an ALLIED general staff" be set up
to assure freedom from German
aggression.
He said this might sound pessi-
mistic, but that everything discov-
cred by FEA, digging deep behind
the motives and actions Of the Ger
mans in two World Wars, supports
it. ~
Mr.. Crowley proposed disarma-
ment Of more than the German
Army, Navy and war factories; he
said the whole German economic
setup must be disarmed because 1t
contains a war potential.
World Peace Demands 1t.
The peace Of the world requires
considerable organized governmental
attention to the course OF industrial
and economic development and
operations in Germany" Mr.. Crow
ley declared.
This will be true at least until
generations of peace from German
aggression have demonstrated that
1t Is no longer necessary to keep
open the watchful eye and maintain
the necessary surveillance and
control"
He said the trouble In 1918 was
that Germany was disarmed only on
the surface; her whole ability to
turn quickly from peacetime pro-
duction to weapons of war never
was disturbed.
This time, Mr.. Crowley asserted,
Allied bombing laid waste great
plants, but Allied bombing did not
reduce most German plants to utter
ruin"
The bombing accomplished its
immediate purpose, he said, but
many giant German industries
could start up almost Immediately
II given the chance.
Germany Strong Economically.
Germany has the better part OF
her economic and industrial
strength today" Mr.. Crowley said,
even though she could not marshal
it Immediately for a third World
War. 1t Is there to build on"
He recommended that:
Complete disarmament be given
precedence over all other Allied
problems; not limited solely to
weapons, but applying to all Ger
man industry SO that /: can be
leveled of to what Germans can use
for peacetime only.
This policy must be lasting in
character" so that 1t does not Eek
pire into feeble and impractical in
effectiveness in 1856 or 1876"
Pin down "the difference between
a powerful economy and a healthy
consumer economy and act ac-
cordingly.
Develop the program and make
1t understood as "a measure OF Sc
curity, not = device for punish
ment."
Make Plan Understandable.
Make the plan simple and UNI
derstandable to the common people
OF the world" SO that public opinion
will back 1t up. "a
Set 1t up as springboard for
q peaceful industrial and agricul-
tural future for Germany.
All OF us must get used to liv-
ing in peace instead of in war or
under threat of war" he said. The
United States must work with the
other United Nations to achieve
increased prosperity for itself and
its Allies. But neither the United
States nor its Allies can afford
TO do this unless Germany is ef-
fectiyely disarmed, and kept dis
armed "

Bored Txoubadouxs
Now and then, group OF the
bored troubadours start playing
a quiet game of follow the-leader,
shaking in and out of the corridors
of Radio City, considerably up
setting the aplomb of various vice
presidents and dignity of sundry
executives.
Mrs. Clements, who is known as
Auntie Alice to her stars, doesn't
direct her programs in dicta-
torial way. If she doesn't like the
reading of speech or the inter-
probation of tune, she doesn't
command them to do it her way.
She discusses and argues it out,
and if she can't convince them, she
lets the children do it their way.
She says most of the children are
well-behaved and appreciate being
treated as adults.
