POLICING GERMANY
TAKES HUGE ARMY

The Allied pattern for occupation and
policing of Germany is taking form and
practically has been completed. The
United States has been apportioned the
western area with the same territory we
occupied in 1918 included.
Geographically we will patrol only
relatively small section of the Reich But
it is an important part, taking in as it
does the great industrial and manufac-
turing centers bordering on France and
the lowland countries.
The area itself is less than one-tenth
the size of California - $4,000 square
miles - while California measures 1885,
693 square miles.
That it is the intention of the Allied
leaders to do thorough job this time of
patrolling is indicated in the announce
ment that between 100000 and 100000
American troops will be used.
The territory starts at the extreme
southern borders of the rich Saar valley
that bone of contention after the First
World War-and stretching northward to
where the Rhine swings westward in the
Netherlands.
Lining the eastern side of the area
are the we'll known highly industrialized
cltleS OF WeSel, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Cob
lenz, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe and Stutt-
,gart. Aachen is the principal city on the
western border.
And again American troops will be
in the Rhine Valley.
The pre-war population of area assign
ed to the American forces was II 100000.
There is large urban population and
the entire area has formed the sinews of
war for the Reich in past conflicts both
as to foods and implements for fighting
Here the Americans will be busy turning
both activities into production for peace
and prosperity and away from war.
No definite set-up for assignment of
troops has been announced other than
the force will carry designated army
number. Whether there will be imne-
diate requirements to relieve the men
who have been on the fighting fronts, or
whether there will be definite terms of
service the army has not revealed.
For the rest of Germany the patrol will
be divided among Britain, Russia and
France. The entire program of occupa-
ton forms single pattern-a pattern the
world hopes will eliminate the Reich for
ever as war danger

Banking Committee

Woods Agreement

WASHINGTON, May 25.. (UP)-
The house banking committee has
approved the Breton Woods agree
ments by % to vote, giving the

round victory on that sector of it's
foreign policy front.
The vote strengthened hopes of
administration supporters for house
approval of the agreements by an
equally top-heavy majority.

sor of the legislation to ratify the
agreements.
Voting to approve the measure
were IA Democrats, eight Repubh-
cans and one Progressive The dis
senting votes were cast by Reps.
Jessie Summers R) Ill; Frederick
c. Smith (R.) O., and Howard H
Buffet (R.) Neb.
Before voting, the committee a.
mended the bill to meet complaints
OF critics of the powers proposed
for the huge international bank of
reconstruction and development and
the monetary sterilization fund.
Those critics had argued that, the
fund-intended to stabilize the ex-
change values of foreign currencies
could be nisused and it's resources
tapped for purchases of capital
goods rather than exchange stabiliz-
alton.
The committee adopted two a.
mendments giving the American IN
depreciation of the powers of the
bank and fund. The committee held
that the bank would have author
ity to make long-term currency
stabilization loans while the fund
would be limited to short-term op-
erations.
If managers of the bank and fund
disagree with that Interpretation,
the U. S. representative would be
instructed by the pending bill to
propose amendments to the Bret
ton Woods agreements.

DECLINE OF TAMMANY HALL
(Riverside Daily Press)


New York City politicians are busily
canvassng the possibilities for mayoralty
nominations. Mayor La Guardia has an
nounced that he does not choose to run
again this fall.
The American Labor party and the
Liberal party, another labor group, come
close to holding the political balance of
power in New York City. If these two
combine with the Republicans on a fu
sion ticket, it may win. If either combines
with the Democrats, the Democrats will
probably carry the election If all four
parties run separate candidates, or if the
two labor parties combine on a third
ticket, again the Democrats will probably
win.
In all the political maneuvering Tam
many Hall, once dominant in New York
City politics, is playing decidedly minor
role. Tammany is confined to Manhat-
tan borough, which is now surpassed in
population by the borough of Kings
(Brooklyn) and is not very far ahead of
the Bronx nor of Queens (Long Island
City,. In 1914 less than 80 per cent
OF the New York City votes for Roose-
velt came from Manhattan.
Another factor in Tammys eclipse
has been poor leadership in recent years.
third factor has been the decline in
immigration, for Tammany, originally
anti-Catholic and nativist, depended for
support in its later days of glory Cor

AFTER-THE WAR SURPRISES
AND SHORTAGES

In developing the pattern of recOnver-
sion, of so-called postwar planning and
setting the tide of industry back into
normal channels, this country is faced
with dual problem, or at least a two
way line of action.
We all are familiar with two words
shortages and surpluses The average
person knows more about shortages than
about surpluses. That is because prac-
tlcally everyone has been close up to a
dearth in this or that which directly af-
fectS the nations households.
Shortages suggest booms when the time
OF release OF war restrictions comes
surpluses are quite the reverse-too great
surpluses unwisely thrown onto the mar
kat would stifle recovery plans for in
dustry.
There is one shortage, however. that
the surplus program will not affect, and
. this shortage is as keenly felt in Ell Cen
estro and the valley as in any other COM
munlty-and that is the housing short
. age. 1t really is IA misuse of the word
shortage in applying it to housing, or
/. homes. OF course it is shortage be-
cause of the restrictions on materials
| and lack of manpower. But better
term might be 'short-sightedness.
This community, like thousands of
others, had just failed to possess or use
the power of vision and failed to build
Tor the future. Nor have these communi-

PLEASANT DREAMS

 Others have said that the House reminded them of the radio program known as "Duffy's Tavern
 These are interesting ob- servations.
 There has indeed been much to laugh about. And in serious times like these it is truly a difficult thing to be able to find things to laugh about.
 But we suggest that this is not a time for laughing and playing.
 Soon the session will be over. Then will be the time for the personal prob lem of finding things to laugh about.
 There is one problem, outstanding among the ma- ny, that we believe has not been considered by the leg islature seriously-and we believe this problem should be considered.
 What can the Legislat- ure bo towards providing jobs for that uncertain per- iod that is called the post war era?

 Upon the chances for re- vival of the large gold min Ing industry rests the fate of thousands of Alaskans and prospective Alaskans those of us fortunate en- ough to have remained on the home front and "suf- fer" through these dread full days and the others not so smiled upon by fate and the draft board.
 And hinged upon the successful operation of AL aska's two basic industries in the days of peace will be the fate not only of those employed in these pursuits, but also those en- ployed in the many other smaller industries-logg- ing, farming, retailing, transporting, and the rest which are more or less de- pendent of the Big Two"
 In the Senate last week representatives of t h e sleeping mining industries attempted to explain to 16 men the seriousness of this problem-the problems of securing equipment, labor, and more important, the capital with which to pay for the equipment and to pay for the labor until new and revived operations Were able to become strong again-and pay taxes.
 It was explained that in practically all of these ven- lures a period of several years was required for de- velopment before any pro- fit could be realized and capital paid it's share from production.
 It was explained that the present gross tax upon gold was a stumbling block to this revival of mining be- cause this talk would pen- alize and take away money that had not yet been earn ed because there would not yet be a profit.

top forces at Pearl Harbor time
was urged today by the House
Naval Affairs committee.
A resolution was adopted unan-
Imously favoring a navy Of 1918
combat ships.
This force would include 116 ear
riers.
The Navy had just five on Dec.
I, 1941-the Wasp, Hornet, Lexing-
lon, Saratoga and Big-E, the IA
nous Enterprise which pulled into
Pearl Harbor soon after the Japs
had struck.
Thus the emphasis for postwar
defense would be on carrier task
lorces, just as the u. S. offensive
in the Pacific was built around that
arm of attack under Admiral
Nimitz, Halsey, Mitscher and Nc
Cain.
The committees findings were in
accord with the testimony of Secre-
tay of the Navy Forrestal when
hearings on the postwar fleet
opened.
The committee suggested the
giant force be divided three ways.
One third would be fully manned,
ready to 60 anywhere. Another
third would be tied up but painted,
siled and set for an emergency, the
remaining third would be decom-
missioned.
Such fleet would be the great
fst peacetime aggregation in his
tory. It would be only 220 fewer
eombat vessels than the present
mighty armada. Besides that, all
the big punch ships would be of
