Clears Today

London, Sept. 26-AP-A sudden
Improvement in the atmosphere
around the conference table was re-
ported today as the Big Five Coun-

Members of several delegations

Meanwhile, there has been con-
siderable discussion of the policy
Of the United States in the Pacific.
despite Secretary OF State James
F. Byrnes' insistence that he came

European questions.

meeting in Washington Of an Allied
control commission for Japan have
been placed before the council by
the British. II was reported re-
liably. reviving a plan under pres

PnceCut IN

Washington, Sept. &c AP 80
Chances virtually disappeared to-
day for the six to seven per cent
cut in clothing prices OPA predict
ed would be achieved this year.
OPA officials who asked that they
not be named acknowledged this in
the wake OF additional price con-
cessions TO the garment industry.
These concessions, announced
last night, mean that for the rest
Of this year. most manufacturers
can make fewer low-priced gar
ments than they have been required
to heretofore.
In another action, OPA announc-
ed that the public soon may have
to pay more for cotton towels and
flannel diapers, shirts and night
wear. This is expected to result
from an increase given to manu-
facturers under terms OF the Price
Control Act.
OPA officials held to a hope that
there will be some reduction OF
clothing prices by the end Of the
year. trhey have climbed nearly
IL per cent since the hold-the-line
order was issued in May l943.)

many
Disagreements in Allied policy
plus lack OF supplies among the
German people are blamed by
diplomatic officials here.
Two possible results are fore

Politically Germany is believed

eastern part of the country now &C.

Russian influence as a unit OF So
Wet dominated Eastern Europe.
The western zones would come I'M

Economically, conditions are so
disordered that some authorities
here believe the United States may
be asked to appropriate money TO
send food TO Germany this winter.
In fact, some officials are begin
ming to wonder whether conditions
that might lead up to another
world war already are becoming
family evident there.
In the American zone efforts TO
remove Nazis from even minor po-
sitions of influence or public trust
have been only partially effective.
Unlike the policy instruction CIV
en- Gen. Douglas Macarthur. the
German order has not been made
public.
A provisional educational policy
was laid down for officials in the
American zone many weeks ago,
after being worked out by educa.
tors advising the State Department.
But it too has not been made pub
lie.
As for the Russian zone, nobody
outside it has any exact knowledge
about what is going on.
The frequently expressed i'm
preston of American officials is
that the Russians have stripped
their territory. particularly the Ber-
lin area, OF virtually all useful in
dustrial machinery.
They say the indications are that
Russia has gone beyond the limit

ton. This called for removal OF
machinery down to the minimum
required for essential peacetime

Furthermore, officials here ex-
pect little or no help from the Ger

pie OF western Germany. They
say the Russians declined to fur
nish any food for British and Amer
lean zones in Berlin.
