There are too many of them in Germany in the first place. 1t is said and they think the men who did the fighting are getting all the breaks because Of their war record
 The top generals have consistently said they want the State Department to take over by next antagonized when American civilians try to take any responsibility. As result of the i'll feeling adrnirs- traitor of the whole occupation is begging down.
 Also adding to the confusion is the local author ity given to the Armys Transportation Corps It increases the red tape and paper work to get badly needed supplies moving. Its operations are being handled from different headquarters.
 officials returning from Germany also are crit- ical of the way newsmen are being treated in the occupied zone Reporters said to be finding 1t df- ficult to get around Transportation isn't readily available to them. They are being forced to rely on handouts for lot of their news and the actual facts of alleged standardization are being covered up
 "Proof of the overstaffng is comparison with the size of the British organization. Each occupying country has two distinct staffs. One is the staff which handles actual details of the occupation and the other Is the part of the International Control Council in Berlin. The U. S. staff on the council is larger than both the British council staff and their occupying staff put together. It Is said to be much larger than the Russian staff, too.
 Too much big brass means more junior ofIlceTs and men to back them lip. colonel has to have just so many men under him to be colonel and 90 on down the line Reports say most of the trained able officers sitting around doing nothing gr1t- ting their teeth and trying to get back to the States to get away from what they see all around them As result Gls are sitting around Germany doing jobs which German civilians could d6.
 It is said that many fine combat officers are doing civil affairs work to which they are entirely unsuted It is making them dissatisfied anxious to get home and riining their morale

 from the secret Allied debates taken from the Ber- lin economic meetings of Oct. l0 The meeting began with plea by Britain's Sir Percy Mlls that the Allies import coal and building materials to aid Germany. He spoke with considerable vigor and feeling-so much so that the French delegate, M Sergeant, took exception.
 'Iet me remind you" he said. that the French have far greater claim to building materials. We too have many buildings destroyed. We too need coal There has been absolutely no activity in build ing construction in France for five years"
 The Frenchman proposed that survey of the building situation be made by the economic drector- ate, and this was finally agreed
 The Russian delegate, Gen. Shabalin, was then asked If he could not persuade the Poles to export coal to Germany T am in no position to speak TOT the Polish government" he replied. Poland can de- eide for herself whether she has any coal to spare for her old enemy
 Besides" continued the Red Army officer, ''why don't the British send some coal since Sir Percy Is so worried about the state of health of the Ger man peoplee"
 The Allied Economic Directorate next took up the report prepared on German agriculture prepared by a subcommittee, It was severely criticised by Gen. Shabalin. The findings he said, were silly" and childish"
 T would be ashamed" he grunted ito sign such report"
 shabalin singled out particularly that part of the report which recommended seed, fertilizer an1 agricultural machinery for Germany. He also claimed that the report dealt too much in generaites rather than specific recommendations.
 T nave been Q IuTItleT HlJsen, SaAo VNS SSASAoA "and in fifteen minutes could draw up recom- mendations which would get to the real heart of the problem instead of dealing in cheap generalities
 Let's go back to the Potsdam agreement" he said Tt outlined the basic fact that German agri- culture is to be increased at the expense of indus try Let's stick to that. The Potsdam agreement is good enough for me-"
 Gen William H. Draper, the American delegate then moved that the report be sent back to the agricultural subcommittee with Q recommendation that the whole report be resubmitted within 30 days
 
 French Delegate Sergent next raised the question of importing oil into Germany from Russia. This had been recommended by the U. s. government and carrying out this recommendation, Gen. Draper turned to Gen. Shabaln and asked his government to approach Austria. Hungary and Rumania regard ing the sale of oil to Germany
 Gen. Draper made quite strong plea, pointing out that Germany's need of oil was serious. Sir Percy Mills backed him up, suggesting that Russia might either borrow or buy the oil from Austria Rumania and Hungary,
 Gen. Shabalin, however was not sympathetic.

Another Edict

The latest effort by James Caesar Petrio, boss man of the American Federation of Musicians to win friends and influence people has to do with what seems to be the coming development in radio which is frequency modula ton (FM.
 Not many people have FM receivers today But those who do say that the reception is without static and clearer than anything broadcastng has achieved before good many folks have been counting buying FM sets, now that the radio industry is again making radios.
 For some time networks and individual stations, with the EGGS permission have been broadcastng programs on FM as well regular channels Their logical reason was that listeners wanted hear their avorte programs even If they owned FM sets.
 Now comes Mr. Petrillo with another edict He has served notice on the key stations of three major networks that they will have to employ twice many musicians on any program which includes music and which is sent out through FM as well as standard outlets.
 So what do the networks do? What can they do? MT. Petro is apoweru and the broadcasters capituate and announce that they will not pipe any more network programs to FM An advancement in radio has been sty
 ed and the best programs will pot be available for better reception all because Mr. Petro tried to collect another tribute. And the public gets 1t in the neck, as usual

AUSTRALIANS RETURNING
 BRIDES
(NeW York Herald-TrIbun

AHNGW &Okh k4Sk0AA~ . &ShAtS(
 Brisbane reports the arrival, like lloming birds, of more than fifty Australian brides of American Ser- vice men. These unhappy wives, 1t appears, have gone back to their native continent for various reasons of disappointment, diSillusion or d. vorce. Among the returnees, some of whom frankly confessed to being fled up" with the United States, there were various criticisms of the land of brave and free soldiers, sail- ors, marines and ex-husbands.. The chief item of complaint was that life in America moved much too fast -"people rushing around like light hing" All of which would indicate that the wives from down under" had shared in the speed of Man. hattan,s sidewalks and subways, if not in the tempo of Q midtown taxi tr:p.
 One Is ready to sympathize with these escaping, ow-it1otioned brides on some of their critical counts. Coming from a country having an area of almost 3,00O, 900 square miles and population of little more than 100000, 1t is easy to see that the speed, push and crowds of a wartime United States must have proved rather startling. But after many pleasant exchanges and ex. periences Of the late war one can confidently report that Americans are not Q lot different from Aus. tralians, even when they are turned into husbands. This being the case, we believe these fifty wives should have given their husbands and this country a longer postwar trial. There are many well con. firmed instances where even top sergeants have been astoundingly transformed by the influences of peace, civvies and a rine-pound boy. All Americans, we think, will be sarry to lose charming bunch of Australian girls just because folk here are a little thicker and quicker than in Brisbane CT Sydney.

Postwar Red Cross

Red Cross services in the postwar period were pretty well discussed at session of state chapters in Waterbury this week. These were given careful consideration in forums round table discussions and on New ways of bringing the programs and functoning of the Red Cross before the public were talked about Postwar activity w not be crcumscrbed rather very broad programs of help full nature will be forthcoming.
 As the closes and the books are balanced the extensive programs docketed past business the postwar programs present themselves The dependable system of the past receives overhaung to speak The postwar Red Cross services will benefit from the suggestions and view points of those who brought their knowledge of the work to the forums in the city this week.
 The Red Cross progresses with the times and the post war period probably presents the same big problems Honest and intelligent participation in Red Cross activities therefore will add to the stature of the organization in such
 matters as giving help veterans and in streamning Red Cross services urged by of the speakers at the conference in Waterbury this week

Views Of The Press

static or other natural disturbances which interfere with amplitude mod ulation, will be deprived of the use of their sets when musical pro- grams are scheduled. The impos- sibility of having two Boston Sym- phony orchestras to broadcast siIn- ultaneously is apparent, and even fl 1t were possible, the cost would make 1t impossible.
 What MT. Petrillo, head of the American Federation of Musicians, expects to gain from this arrogant and uneconomic act of aggression toward the hroadcastin gindustry, is difficult to imagine. It is Q demon- strat!on of unwarranted power, the same kind of demonstration that, in other fields, breeds rebellion. There is nothing democratic about 1t, nothing fair, nothing that contri- butes to the culture of the race or toward good will among men.

There is one thing the AmeIic ican people might as wei face and that is that while responsible officials in gov enment give lip service to the idea that free enterprise
 should be encouraged in the United States in order to per- petuae liberty and independence they seek to establish political programs which by their very nature will ham, string the successful functioning of private enterprise Both England and France had to be saved from Hit lers national socialism and yet both of them deber aely turning to his political philosophy under which the people become wards of the Statethat B they become de- pendent the state for their jobS their housing and their medical treatment.
 T We cannot object to England and France adopting socialism if that their desire but when they ask is to help finance it. and when leaders in government try to lead the American people along similar lines by dev- ous routes and ruses American citizens have right to object while they still have that privilege. It will be pretty sick world instead of shining new one, when the International politicians get control of the means of pro 1uction and jobs
