GERMANY:
Occupation Progresses

Following close on General Mac
Arthur's announcement that no more
than 100000 troops would be needed
within the next year to occupy
Japan. it was revealed that U. S.
authorities hoped to trim the post
war force in Germany to less than
100000 by next spring and reduce
it to skeletonal dimensions within a
few years.
Disclosure of occupation plans for
the shattered Reich conceded with
reports that the cooperative attitude
of the defeated Germans will permit
the early election of local govern
mental officials with balloting on a
county and state level following.
Meanwhile, the army revealed that
it was training hand-picked German
prisoners Of war to aid in the ad-
ministration and policing of occupied
territory. Selected after careful
screening, the PWs are taught Amer
lean and German history. the Eng
lish language and military govern

BIG FIVE:
No Results

Failing of settlement of one i'm

ell Of foreign ministers meeting in
London to map postwar Europe
moved for adjournment. with posi-
bilities that the creation Of peace
treaties with former axis satellites
may be directly negotiated between
the U. S.. Britain and Russia.
The magnitude Of the task Of rec
onciling the conflicting interests Of
the Allied powers in the European
theater was reflected in the difficulty
Of disposing Of pre-war Italian col
onies and strategic islands Of the
Mediterranean; reshaping the Ital-
ian-Yugoslav border; drawing up
peace treaties for the Russian DOM
mated Balkans, and internationali-
cation Of the vital waterways.
While the foreign ministers Of the
Big Five were scheduled to reas-
semble in November to receive the
recommendations of their deputies
on settlement of the thorny issues,
Russian opposition to French and
Chinese participation in the deliber-
atoms raised the possibility that d.
rect negotiations between Washing
ton, D. c., London and Moscow may
be established as an alternative.
