Paris, June 26 - (UP) - Several thousand service troops have left Marseille for the Far East, where they will begin the task of build ing bases for combat troops who will follow them," Eu- ropean theater authorities announced today.
 Today's announcement was the first word that any American forces actually had left Europe by the eastern route for the Pacific theater. It also disclosed that large numbers of combat troops al- ready are assembled for en- barkation by that route.
 100000 Monthly
 Informants estimated that the troops should move out at rate of 100000 a month once the transfer is well under way.
 Thousands of combat troops are pouring into three big staging areas recently completed in the Marsellle zone, and scores of ships are mov- ing across the Atlantic and Medi- terranean for their rendezvous with the soldiers,' an official announce nent said.
 The number of troops and quan- tity of equipment being shipped wer top military secrets. But Mar seillc was reported being prepared to handle soon some 100000 men at a time
 All assembling troops are receiv- ing summer uniforms except those scheduled to go to China. They are keeping their regular winter olive drab uniforms.
 Troops shipped from Marseille SC far have been veteran engineer quartarmaster and medical units, the official announcement said.
 With them are going trucks, bull dozers and thousands of tons of or ganizational equipment.
 Some of the serviec troops are veterans of two active theaters. At least a couple of units worked on the Alcan Highway in 1942, and then built bases in the Aleutians be- fore they came to Europe last win ter.
 The three staging areas for the Pacific bound troops cover hum dreds of square miles in the Army's Delta base section - the key sup ply organization for the American and French forces in southern France.

Washington, June 26-CUP)-For- eign Economic Administrator Leo T.. Crowley reported today that Ger many's war-making potential is tremendous despite years of Allied bombing.
 He said if the Germans had held out six months longer they might have been able to hit New York with V-bombs and a little after wards they could have sent jet-pro- pelled planes against Washington. If left alone now, they could be bet ter prepared for war within five years then they were in 1889 when Hitler launched his blitz against Poland.
 Crowley gave a Senate Military affairs subcommittee investigating Germany's war-making capacities a summary of what his agency has been able to learn on the subject through 29 surveys covering virtual ly every phase of German industrial economy. He said the Allied powers must be prepared for long-term occupation of Germany and rigid industrial control if tlv German war machine is not agssn te thretaen the peace of the world.
