dent Truman, Premier Stain

start telephone conversations
soon in an effort to break the
deadlock of the peace-making
council of foreign ministers.
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
met with the British cabinet behind
guarded doors for two and half
hours, giving details of circum-
stances leading to the breakdown.

later.
MIR. Bevin had been reported in
frequent bitter personal exchanges

Molotov during the three-week ses-
sion. Mr.. Bevin is expected to re-
port fully to Parliament next week.
Diplomats expressed the view that
the heads of the Big Three states

Krug was resigning and would be
succeeded in the new civilian agency
by John D. Small, executive officer
of WPB.
That change also will be effective

Functions Outlined.
The Presidents order said func-
tions and powers transferred to the
CPA shall "be utilized to further a
swift and orderly transition from
wartime production to maximum
peacetime production in industry
free from wartime or Government,
controls and with cue regard for the
stability of prices and costs"
1t set out six major functions for
the new group as follows:
l. Expand the production of ma
terials which are in short supply.
O. Limit the manufacture of prod
ucts for which materials or facilities
are insufficient.
viii Combat Hoarding.
3. Control the accumulation of in
ventories so as to avoid speculative
boarding and unbalanced distribu-
ton, which would curtail total pro-
duction.
4. Grant priority assistance to
break bottlenecks which would i'm
pede the reconversion process.
5. Facilitate the fulfillment of re-
lief and other essential programs.
6. Allocate scarce materials and
facilities necessary for the produc-

ply problems and liquidation OF
WPB.
Few Controls Left.
CPA is slated to take over the
few remaining industry controls on
WPB's books when that agency folds.
The new Office, it is planned, will
exist only so long as some controls
are regarded necessary to assure
orderly reconverSior.
One possibility is that it may be
closed out at the end of the year.

Eisenhower Speeding
New Law 10 Bar Nazis
In Business Control
Decree Expected to Set
Jan. ! DeodIine to
Liquidote Interests
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Oct. 4.-Gen. Eisen-
hower's military government to-
day speeded drafting of a drastic
new law which would wipe ou,
all Nazi ownership and Nazi con-
troll of German business in the
American occupation zone.
In effect, the decree would make
it unlawful for any person who was
at any time a member of the Nazi
party or its affiliate organizations to
own, control, manage or supervise
any business enterprise or possess an
interest therein"
Under military government regu-
lations, a business enterprise is de-
fined as ANY individual partnership
association or corporation or other
organization engaged in commercial
or other business or public welfare
activities"
Companion to Labor" Law.
The new measure was expected
to give Germans in the American
zone until January l to carry out
liquidation of Nazi business inter-
ests. 1t is companion decree to a
previous law, announced last week,
which forbade employment of Nazis
in business except as labor"
Last weeks law struck at the NaZi
managerial class, but the new de-
cree is aimed directly at such Nazi
magnates as the Krupp family
Oficers who eventually will be in
charge of enforcing it say the de-
cree was energetically pushed by
1t. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, deputy to
Gen. Eisenhower.
The new law does not imply con-
fiscation of Nazi wealth, but it will
compel Nazis to convert their bust
ness holdings into cash or agricul-
tural property, American officers
pointed out.
The purpose is to eliminate Nazi
wealth, power or influence in bust
ness and to place responsibility on
non-Nazis among the German peo-
ple," civil affairs experts said.
you might almost call it the Nazi
Nuremberg DEGREES in reverse" they
added.
Will Have Appeal Clause.
Like the former decree, the new
one will have an appeal clause giv-
ing owners of German businesses
the right to attempt to prove to local
military government Offices that
they were mot actively engaged" in
Nazi activities. Gen. Clay is known
to have indicated he would demand
a rigid test of such claims for ex-
emption.
The two-pronged American attack
on Nazi owners was unofncially re-
ported to be winning support from
Soviet and French representatives
on Allied control authority for Ger
many. The British were described
very resistant"
The British have made no attempt
yet to duplicate Gen. Eisenhower
order for comprehensive denazifica-
ton of public and quasi-public Of
ficials. They asked further time te
study categories of mandatory re.
moval and discretionary remova,
proposed by the Americans.
One reason for Gen. Eisenhower
pressure on Gen. George S. Patton.

dence that at least one-third of the
public officials whose removal hao
been declared mandatory had moi

to be hampering American efforts
to get common Genazification pol

Meanwhile Berlin's Soviet-Spon-
sored newspaper said Gen. Patton's
