level of tolerability, McNarney said in his monthly report on November activity in the U. s. occupation zone.
 McNarney, commander of U. $. forces in Europe and military gover- nor of American-occ Germany, said the French had refused to ap- prove U. S., British and Russian plans for treatment of Germany as one unit rather than four individual zones.
 Recovery Delayed
 "The longer the four-power de- cisions are delayed, the more barter and other abnormal economic rela- tionshipS and practices will develop, and the mort difficult it will be to follow the Potsdam formula of treat ing Germany as a single economic unit" McNarney said.
 German recovery, he said, also was being retarded by physical factors lack of adequate communications and transportation, and shortage of rainfall causing low water in rivers and canals.
 McNarney reported that crime is increasing among the Germans. but so far was not regarded as alarming ly high. The principal crimes cited were cutting of wire fences by rov- ing Germans, threatening of girls who fraternized with Allied soldiers and stealing.
 He warned that certain amount" of lawless activity could

New Years Holidays Hewed Anxiously
 No Fatal Auto Mishaps Over Christma In State; Warning Given Both Autoist, Pedestrian on Celebrations

In a special bulletin regarding holiday traffic accident experiences the Highway Safety Commission notes that no fatalities have yet been reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles for the three-day Christmas period this year includ- ing December 24, 25 and 26. Ordin- arily, states the Commission Bulle- tin, this period would be charged with three to dozen deaths.
 Road conditions undoubtedly had much to do with the apparent free dom of the Christmas three-day period from fatal accidents" states William M. Greene, director of the Commission. Connecticut overall traffic accident experience is 32 per cent higher currently than last year. Traffic fatalities are up 12 per cent and personal injuries are 15 per cent more. Facing such figures we can not attribute the gratifying Christ mas experience to any general trend towards safer operation. The fre- quency was recorded but, through a quirk of fate, the severity was not of high degree"
 The first peacetime New Years Eve since 1940 is viewed. by MT. Greene with apprehension as De- partment of Motor Vehicle records indicate that, invariably, the last evening of the old year and the early morning hours of the New Year are costly in traffic accident results.
 Last year, however, was most ex-

 Protection for Children m Tobacco Work Sought

liar ford. Dec 28-tUPD-A State Labor Department report today rec commended enactment of legisla- ton which will provide a minimum of protection for children working in the states tobacco growing in- ouStry.
 The report, based on a survey made for the department by five special investigators, found that the lack of anything approaching acceptable supervision of boys and girls" in tobacco fields was more pernicious than early age employ ment, long hours and hazardous transportation for child workers ill such fields"
 Miss Edna M. Purten, individual supervisor of the department, com- piled the report which was submit- ted to Gov. R. E. Baldwin.
 According to the report a volun- tary agreement among tobacco growers to employ only children IA years old or older had had gen erally satisfactory" results, although 294 boys and 103 girls had no proof of their age There was a general acceptance of the eight-hour day for children under 16 until the end to nine hours.
