Progress in Purge

By Secretary Of War
Ey the Associated Press.

Secretary of War Stimson
home from the Big Three Con-
ference, said today civil control
of the American occupied zone
in Germany already is being re-
turned to a German people rap
idly being purged of Hitlerism.
The Secretary told a news con-
ference the evolution ALREADY has
made very substantial progress and
is working we'll"
American troops are proving "our
foremost unofficial ambassador, Mr.
Stimson declared, expressing belief
they should 60 long way toward
the German people with
the advantage of free society"
Fuel Shortage Cited.
With critical fuel shortage fac
ing the American zone next winter,
Mr.. Stimson said Germans are be-
ing encouraged to cut and store
large supplies of wood for home
heating. Almost all available coal,
he said, will be required to supply
essential power.
The Secretary estimated that "in
the parts of Germany I saw" be-
tween 80 and 100 per cent of normal
farm acreage is planted. But he
stressed that the planting had been
late and the extent of crops to be
harvested is questionable.
Asked whether well have to feed
Germany if the crops fail over
there" Mr.. Stimson replied:
I'll leave that to your imagina-
ton, but I will say that there are
very few other places where food
could come from.
Americans Must Decide.
at will be up to the American
people to decide what they want to
do"
Secretary Stimson said the Ger
man people have accepted their oc-
cupation as inevitable and in a CO.
operative manner. He added:
There has been negligible evil
dence of underground activity, and
for the present, at least, the Nazi
party in our zone seems to have
vanished"
Reconstruction Is Intelligent.
The Secretary said ne wanted to
emphasize 'the methodical and in
telligent way in which the govern
ment of Germany is being recon-
structed under the supervision of our
Army.
Direct military administration is
being gradually superseded by Ger
man administration, purged of Nazi
membership and influence. This
process has been begun first in the
smaller units of government in the
German system corresponding to our
villages and towns and then being
carried upward gradually through
the larger units corresponding to our
counties and cities. This evolution
has already made very substantial
progress and is working we'll.

place in the German courts, where
the German civil courts, purged OF

Vandenberg Suggests
That Labor, Industry
Hold Peace Farley
U. S. Would Join ToIks
To End Needless Strife;
SehweIIenboch Approves
BY the Associate d Press.

oS tit hseOCIhttd EIcSs
Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan today pro-
posed a conference of top spokes-
men for labor, management and
Government to seek industrial
peace.
Senator Vandenberg submitted his
plan in letter to Secretary of La
Dor Schwellenbach, who indorsed it
in a prompt reply.
The Senator suggested that leaders
of each branch of the Nations
economy copy the example set at
San Francisco when so nations
frankly faced" their problems in a
triumph of the council table" ="
Senator Vandenberg was a delegate
to the San Francisco Conference
which drafted the recently ratified
United Nations Charter.
rs it impossible to apply this
formula at home in respect to vital
industrial relationships" the Michi-
gan Senator asked.
Fears Needless Strife.
He said he was particularly con-
cerned that needless strife" would
impair reconversion to peace pro-
duction land permanently leopard
ize the country and all it's citi-
zenship"
Secretary Schwellenbach, for
mer Senator, told Senator Vanden-
berg in his letter and in a two-hour
personal conference yesterday, that
he has been thinking more and
more these last few weeks about the
desirability of calling a conference
of industry and labor
Senator Vandenberg suggested
that Mr.. Schwellenbach preside over
such a meeting
"ResponsibM management knows
that free collective bargaining is
here to stay and that progressive
law must continue to support it and
that it must be wholeheartedly ac-
cepted," Senator Vandenberg wrote
the cabinet officer.
"Respo labor leadership
knows that irresponsible strikes and
subversive attacks upon essential
production are the gravest threats
to the permanent success of labor's
bill of rights.
Laws Need Mutual Consent.
American government knows that
social statutes are futile except as
they largely stem from mutual wis
dom and mutual consent. There
fore, still thinking of applying the
San Francisco precedent to our own
domestic problem, I am moved to in
quire whether you would not believe
it possible to assemble united in
dustrial peace conference OF our
own under your able Craftsmanship
in which all these interests may
assemble and frankly face the need
for better, surer and wiser code
for their mutual advancement in
the desperately uncertain times that
lie ahead"
Senator Vandenberg contended
that industrial peace cannot be die
tated by summary legislation" But
it can be written into law, he said,
'by the common recommendation
of all concerned If they can meet
together, under proper auspices, to
face a challenge which cannot long

Patterson and Snyder
will Confer Today on
Discharge Of Miners
Ferguson Takes Parting
Shot at Shipment of
Cool to Europe
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

UnderSecretary OF War Patter-
son will represent the War
Department at a conference
with War Mobilization Director
Snyder this afternoon on the
question of whether the Army
should release miners as we'll as
railroad workers to avert a fuel
shortage next winter.
Secretary of War Stimson an
nounced this morning that Mr..
Patterson would attend the confer
ence which which Chairman Mead
of the Senate War Investigating
Committee yesterday said he under
stood was being arranged on the
coal situation.
The Army has been reluctant to
authorize the discharge or furlough
of occupational groups on the
ground that it would disrupt the
point system of orderly discharges,
but Mr.. Snyder joined with military
leaders in arranging to furlough
1000 for work on railroads immedi-
ately. sPlans also were announced to
speed up the return from Europe
of Army railroad battalions.
Coal Exports Assailed.
Meanwhile, Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan took a part
ing shot in the Senate yesterday at
the plan to ship 100000 tons of
coal to liberated Europe for the
coming winter.
Senator Ferguson said testimony
before the War Investigating Com
mittee showed Germany is produc-
ing only one-tenth of the coal it
could produce. and France and Bel
gium only so per cent.
'.In the name of common sense,
where are these leaders taking the
American people?" asked Senator
Ferguson. They know that we in
the minority party lack the votes in
Congress to assert and maintain a
policy which has some regard for
the American people They expect
that the majority party will support
their program without question. Who
makes such commitments? Who per-
mits these decisions?'
Shipments May Be Halted.
Solid Fuels Administrator Ickes
testified that. while some of the coal
has been shipped, he would stop the
shipments unless the Army agreed
to furlough the 10000 miners needed
in this country. He also said the
Army was represented at the con-
ferences in which the need for this
coal in Europe was decided on.
Members of the Senate Com
mite also have protested against
the drafting of more coal miners
into the Army at this time in the
face of the fuel outlook.
