Germany
Continued From First Page.

In its own way full of incipient fail
ures.
In fact, some officials are begin
ming to wonder whether conditions
that might lead up to another World
War already are becoming family
evident there.
Here are some of the main points
stressed by these people:
In the American zone effort to
remove Nazis from even minor po-
sitions of influence or public trust
have been only partially effective.
The emphasis has been mostly on
maintaining order, less on bringing
about sweeping political changes.
American zone policy began I'M
der an occupation order preliminary
to the Big Three meeting in Berlin
in August. Unlike the policy in
struction given Gen. Macarthur,
however, the German order has not
been made public.
A provisional educational policy
was laid down for officials in the
American zone many weeks ago,
after being worked out by educa-
tors advising the State Department.
But it, too, has not been made pub
lie, and no one here seems to know
whether any progress has been made
in putting it into effect.
AS for the Russian zone, nobody
outside it has any exact knowledge
about what is going on.
The frequently expressed impress
sion of American officials is that the
Russians have stripped their terri
tory, particularly the Berlin area, of
virtually all useful industrial ma
chinery.
Go Beyond Potsdam.
They say the indications are that
Russia has gone beyond the limit
of the Potsdam Big Three declara-
ton. This called for removal of
machinery down to the minimum
required for essential peacetime
existence.
Furthermore, officials here expect
little or no help from the German
eastern area in feeding people of
Western Germany. They say the
Russians declined to furnish any
food for British and American zones
in Berlin.
The Potsdam Conference was sup
posed to provide for handling Ger
many as an economic unit. Ma
chinery taken from the Allied west
ern zones was to be exchanged for
food taken from the surplus food
areas Of Eastern Germany. There
is no evidence, however, that any
thing has been done about this.
In the heavily industrialized
British zone, conditions are re-
ported to be worst of all.
The British have made known to
American authorities their extreme
concern over the prospect of freez-
ing and starvation, particularly in
the bombed Ruhr area. First ap-
peals are expected to come from
this area.
What happens on these immediate
problems of food, clothing and ma
tional economic organization-or

80 Million Tons Of Paper
SaIvaqed in Five Years

Waste paper salvaged in the last
four years and nine months
amounted to 100000 tons, more
than 80 times the Nations waste
paper inventory on last July l, the
War Production Board disclosed to-
day.
WPB said it was largely through
the effects of 2,1O0 local Salvage
Committees that the salvage of
waste paper kept pace with con-
sumption.
The agency also praised the ac-
tivities of paper troopers.
1t was pointed out that while
WPB's sponsorhip of paper salvage
will cease officially on Friday, when
its conservation and salvage divi-
sion is dissolved, there is still a con-
tinuing need for waste paper in the
reconversion program and in de-
mobilization.

Civilian Engineer
Wins Bronze Star and
Presidential Citation

It's rare occasion when a civilian
receives a Presidential Citation, and
a still rarer one when he is awarded
Bronze Star, but Gail A. Hatha-
way, an engineer employed with the
War Department, holds both these
distinctions today.
Mr.. Hathaway, who lives at 4316
Van Buren street, University Park,
Md, was recipient of these honors
yesterday for his outstanding work
as technical representative of the
chief engineer in the European the
ater Of operations from November,
1914, to last March.
The Bronze Star awarded him yes
terday by Maj. Gen. Thomas M.
Robins, deputy chief of engineers,
U. S. A., was the first one awarded
to civilian working in the Engineer
Corps.
Guerrillas Won Awards.
Only other civilians to have re-
ceived the award from the Army
were those who fought with guer-
rillas in the Philippines, according
to the War Department.
His work in helping make possible
the crossing of the Rhine brought
the following words of praise from
President Truman:
Mr.. Hathaway supervised the
preparation of technical instruc-
tions, selection of observation sta
tions for collection of representative
riverstage and rainfall reports and
formulation of codes and schedules
for submission of observational
data and distribution of prediction
summaries to Army personnel
through radio and teletype systems" :"
"Of Outstanding Value"
Under conditions offering consid-
cradle personal risks, he made field
inspections in forward areas to CO.
ordinate with Army personnel the
establishment of observation sta
tions and the procedures to be fol-
lowed for submission and distribu-
ton of river stage data and predic-
tons His accomplishments were
of outstanding value to the Allied
armies in planning and executing
their operations in crossing the
Rhine"
Mr.. Hathaway, 40, is married and
the father of three children. The
family came here in 1887 when he
was transferred from the Kansas
City district office of the War De-
partment.

Interstate level of % cents per

major victory for the Utilities
Commission.
A case of prime Importance to
North Carolina is now before the
Federal Commission. The present
rates for transportation OF coal in
carloads into and throughout the
state are deemed exhorbitant. This
department endeavored to get the
carriers to agree to voluntary
reduction in rates, but was I'm
successful. The State of North Caro-
lima and the Utilities Commission
filed a joint complaint against sc
railroad companies charging thai
the rates are unjust and I'M
reasonable" The complaint points
out the fact that this state pays
the charges on coal in large

cuted.
The motor vehicle division has
had a busy year. The Commission
has held 70 hearings for bus and
truck companies. The inspection
unit was reorganized with John T.
Armstrong, former Major of the
State Highway Patrol, as SUPER
vising inspector. During the war,
the Commission adapted its rules
to emergency conditions in order
to achieve maximum efficiency
with available equipment and sup
puies, but in this postwar period
it is endeavoring to return motor
vehicle transportation to normal
operation as quickly as is practic-
able. Recent orders have limited
the load of a bus to not more than
so per cent over its seating capa-
city; stations found to be unsani-
tary have been closed and re-
opened when requirements were
met; and every effort is being
made to promote the safety, COM
fort, and convenience of the travel
ling public.
Reductions made through the
Commission during the past year
save manufacturing plants in North
Carolina $14,500 month, munich
palities $500 month, rural CO.
operatives $500 a month, and
other classes of service $4,000 a
month. Reductions in the gas rates
in Asheville and Durham will save
customers $4,000 annually.

1945-has been victory year in
world history, making the end OF
its greatest conflict. 1t has been
victory year, too, in the history
of the Utilities Commission.
The long-drawn out and bitter
fight waged by the south against
the discriminatory freight rates
which have so hampered its in
dustrial development was brought
to an end on May 10. On that date,
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission held existing rates to be
unreasonable and unduly pre-
judicial" 1t allowed the carriers
80 days in which to submit to it
their proposals for undertaking a
uniform method of freight CLASH
fication for the entire country. The
changes will apply to so-called
classified goods" largely manu-
featured goods and miscellaneous
gods. These constitute about 10
per cent of total freight traffic.
The new rates are scheduled to be-
come effective on January 1, 1916.
Spearheading the drive against
the outrageous rates imposed upon
the south and west after the Civil
War were the first-organized
state agencies for the regulation
and supervision of railroads and
other public utilities. Prominent
among these were the forerunners

Washington, March 2-(UP)- President Roosevelt at his first news conference following his return from the Crimea agreed today with the idea that German ex-soldiers should be used to repair war damage in the Soviet Union.
 The President also said there would be number of treaties to be submitted to the senate for ratifca- ton, in addition to the world se- curity charter which will be drawn up at the April 20 San Francisco conference.
 The President said these other treaties arising for decisions of the big three at Yalta would deal most ly with what he described as small details.
