Senate Group Finds
Reich Still Is Threat
To Peace Of World
By the Associated Press.

Senators studying Germany's
war potential think the beaten
nation still has so much power
and will to use it that she can't
be trusted for at least Is years.
A Military Affairs Subcommittee
headed by Senator Kilgore, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, found in a
preliminary report based on trips
abroad and testimony of two weeks
hearings here that Germany still
has:
The worlds third strongest in
dustrial economy tremendous
recuperative power q world
wide network of economic and polit-
ical reserves penetrating other
nations the science of aggres-
sion perfected by her leading indus
trialists, militarists and politicians
to reverse the decisions of the bat
tlefield."
Therefore, the committee recon-
mended that United States repre-
sentatives on the Allied Control
Commission report to Congress every
three months on the progress of
steps to disarm Germany and keep
her industrial machine working only
on normal peacetime output.
These reports should be quarterly
for three or five years, the commit
tee said, and after that they should
be kept up on an annual basis for a
total of Is years.
Said Senator Kilgore:
Germany IN defeat remains ma
jor threat to the peace of the world
(and) " is better prepared to
implement her plot for world con-
quest than she was at the end of
World War l."
The committee said Germany still
possesses the second largest steel in
dustry in the world, 40 per cent of
the output of chemical nitrogen
base of explosives-and the ability
to turn out 100, 900 tons of synthetic
rubber annually.

A considerable portion of the re-

New Polish Premier
Wants Election Delay
Until Refugees Return
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, July 10.-Premier Ed
ward B. Osubka- -Horawski of the
new Polish provisional government
said in an interview last night that
the projected Polish national cleo
tions must be delayed until nearly
5000, 900 Poles abroad have been
given a chance to return home.
The Premier emphasized that he
desired the elections to be held as
soon as possible, but added that
until harvesting, repatriation and
resettlement are finished, we must
not divert attention from these
basic tasks"
He said he hoped practically all''
of the Poles away from home would
try to return, excluding only those
he termed definite Fascist and Nazi
elements. He said he considered the
governments welcome to embrace
members of the Polish Army in
Great Britain.
Mr.. Osubka- -Morawski predicted a
wave of industrial prosperity for
Poland and declared the nation
would apply for a place on the
Council of Security formed at San
Francisco.
Poland, If only for reasons of
geography, will play an important
part in the shaping of Europe and
we consider a place on the Council
justified" he said
The Premier said new industrial
territories in the west were expected
to make Poland's industrial plant
larger than before the war-despite
destruction of Warsaw. which con-
tanned about one-fourth of Poland s
prewar industry.
He said all Germans would be
expelled from Poland and that the
withdrawal of all but few Russian
troops would be complete in about
two months. Red Army forces re-
naming, he said, would be only
those needed to handle the passage
of Soviet troops to the occupied
zone of Germany.
He disclosed that Red Army off,
GERS would remain as instructors
with the Polish Arny-which he
described as very old-fashioned.
Mr.. Osubka -Morawski expressed
hope for an alliance with France
and a friendly solution of the
Teschen dispute with Czechoslo-
yakia.
Meanwhile, 1t. William ]. Tonesk,
who arrived here Saturday to ar
range for quarters for United States
Ambassador Arthur Bliss Lane and
his staff, said the American EN-
bassy here, which was wrecked and
partly burned by the Germans, can
be repaired in about three months.
1t. Tonesk has found living quar-
ters for the Ambassador in the
suburb of Constance, IA miles south
of Warsaw on the Vistula, and plans
to obtain temporary Office facilities
in downtown Warsaw.
The Germans had stabbed their
horses in the large ballroom of the
Embassy and drank all the wine
stored In the cellars. A Polish ref
ugee family now occupies the cellar.
The Germans blew all safes in the
Embassy and opened and scattered
all files. Floors are ankle deep in
papers and 1t was estimated that it
will take months to re-arrange and
classify those that remain. All the
Embassy's fine furniture was
chopped and burned for firewood.

Anderson Joins Forces

Food Black Markets
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
= New Government crackdowns
on food black marketeers i'm
pended from three directions
today.
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son let it be known that he is "join-
ing forces with OPA" for that pur-
/ pose. At the same time, the House
Food Investigating Committee
: promised to investigate and ex-
, pose" illicit operations that menace
the Nations diet.
A ranking official in Secretary
Anderson's department said the new
cabinet officer already has had sew
eral conferences with Price Admin
istrator Chester Bowles and his OPA
/ lieutenantS.
The objective, said the official, who
asked that his name not be used,
! ais an attempt to plug up the holes
and gaps that give rise to the black
market"
Poultry Buying 10 Be Spread.
Mr.. Anderson, he said, also Is TAX
ing steps to equalize distribution of
such scarce commodities as meat, on
the assumption that unequal sup
plies spur black market trade. AS
a result, he added, plans are being
prepared to spread the poultry pro-
curement program, now concen-
trated principally in Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia.
Under this arrangement, the areas
in which poultry is set aside for
Government Ordinarily Army use
would be extended westward to
ease the burden on Eastern States.
In another move, Mr.. Anderson
announced last night that regula-
tions are being prepared to permit
non-Federally inspected slaughterers
to comply with the so-called Patman
amendment of the recently extended
Price Control Act.
This would permit them to ship
meat across State lines and to sell
to the armed forces. About one
third of the meat now being proc
eSsed is handled by such packers.
Mr.. Anderson said that among re-
quirementS for certification will be
assurances that OPA regulations are
observed, that meat will move in
legitimate channels, that the plants
meet certain sanitary standards,
that their output be supervised by
qualified inspectors and that they
provide meat for governmental
agencies when required to do so.
Chairman Pace, who succeeded
Mr.. Anderson as head of the House
Food Committee, disclosed the
groups plans to hit at black mar
kets in commenting on an outline OF
committee objectives, including a
policy of feed America first"
Group to Expose Black Markets.
The committee will investigate
and expose black market operations
and submit suggestions for combat
ing this menace, which is not only
greatly increasing the cost of food,
but denies the people an equal
share of the limited supply" Mr..
Pace told a reporter.
In addition, he said, the commit
tee would investigate "all cases of
waste, spoilage and excess pur-
chases by different agencies"
Mr.. Pace said the group thinks
the Army ought to have first call on
food, but that thereafter "the next
claim rightfully belongs to the
American people"
X Meanwhile, food officials awaited
the monthly crop report of the
Agriculture Department. to be re-
leased this afternoon. The report
