MAGDEBURG Ger

MAGDEBURG, G. many,
April 20 (P) - A far greater
Army of Occupation may be
necessary in Germany than
originally planned in view of
the problems experienced to
date.
Even with the vast number
of Allied troops now in Ger
many, the job of administering
the territory already overrun Is
proving much more difficult
than anticipated.
Germany now is a fostering
sore in the heart of Europe.
housing a mass of misery UNI
heard of in modern history.
Twelve years of Nazism and
brutality are bearing a cancer
out fruit which can mean moth
ing but years of trouble ahead
VICIOUS UNIT
No one knows this better than
Hitler, and he has the organiza-
ton ready 10 help make the
trouble - the newly-formed
Werewolves.
Zone reason why a larger
army of occupation may be
needed is suggested by state
ment made yesterday by Gen,
Omar N. Bradley, 18th Army
group commander.
GIN my opinion" he said,
when he (the enemy did not
quit last fall, after we had prov
cd to him that he was licked, it
was clear that we would not be
through until we had occupied
all of Germany
There are not nearly enough
military government teams at
hand. Civil law broke down in
most towns when the Nazis de-
parted, for they held all key
jobs. The Germans left behind
often try TO solve the problem
Of law and order as did their
prcdeceSsors-by force unless
Allied troops are at hand to
keep them in hand.
NOT ENOUGH TROOPS
And troops cannot be spared
for this job. For instance, one
combat division overran $50
small towns in one day. If it had
left four men in each town to
preserve order, battalion OF
fighting men would have been
tied up. Besides, few Doughboys
speak German. Russian, or Pol
ish-virtually a prerequisite II
administration problems are to
be handled intelligently.
Finding it impossible TO do
everything, the combat troops
have done their best and moved
on. 1t may be days later before
military government teams ar.
rive.

Occupation Troops May Face
Serious, Prolonged Problems

Much difficulty has been ex-
eprienced because of the lack Of
sufficient machinery TO deal eff
fectively with the millions OF
released slave laborers and
prisoners of war. There is wide
spread looting, not only by the
slave laborers but also by Ger
mans trying TO get their hands
on extra food and clothing for
the dark days ahead.
ROWING PACKS
The aim has been 10 try 10
keep these millions in camps
until they can be dealt with pro-
perly. But there is not enough
food to feed them. SO they for
age-and wander up and down
the highways.
Life is worth nothing. People
die on the road, in barns, in the
fields, in jails, abandoned ware
houses, everywhere. No one
bothers TO bury them. No one
knows who they are.
Every type of disease, partic-
ularly typhus. is being carried
by these nomads.
All wanderers by no means
are men. There are thousands OF
women. mostly girls brought
into Germany as workers. They
usually form into gangs and
plumber so they can eat.

 Plan Urged
 Johnston Fovors
 Contract Clauses

Washington, Nov. 19 - (UP) - President Eric Johnston of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce urged the Labor Management conference to- day to recommend voluntary arbit- ration clauses in all union contracts.
 He was expected to press for formal consideration of his proposal when the conference executive com mittee meets to begin studying and integrating subcommittee recom- mendations for minimizing indus trial disputes.
 Johnston was campaigning per- sonally to bring all other manage ment delegates around to his plan. He sounded his keynote in a radio address (NBC) last night when he warned that industrial strife was the major factor delaying the pro- duction we must have if we are go- ing to dodge imitation"
 Delegates generally were hopeful that the conference would lessen strikes, but a CIO official and the United Mine Workers Journal, which reflects views of the Mine Chief John L. Lewis, said no one should hope that it can end all strikes.
 The CIO official, who declined to permit use of his name, said the conference would not produce any formula that will totally end strikes"
 How can it when 1t refuses to deal with the principal cause of in- dustrial unrest today, namely: Wages?" He asked. The CIO has been fighting strongly to get the wage issue before the conferees.
 Meanwhile, the National Catholic Welfare conference called on the conference to work out methods for establishment of public fact-fnding boards in all major disputes to as- sist in settling them without strikes.
 Bishop Karl J. Alter, chairman of the Catholic Social Action depart ment, said in letters to conference Chairman Walter P Stacy and Sec retary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellen- bach that these boards would rein force conciliation, arbitration, col lective bargaining and public opin- ion.
 He said he feared that laws would be passed enforcing compulsory ar bitration if strikes of great magni- tude occur.
 Compulsory arbitration is long leap down the totalitarian road and is no help towards the proper set- clement of disputes on either side, D he said.

King Talks To Legion

Chicago, Nov. 19.-(UP)-The American Legion may offer its serv- ices in making an unbiased investi- gation of the proposal to merge the nations armed forces.
 The resolution committee of the Legion's 27th annual convention, was reported today to be considering urging the formation of an investi- gating committee to report on the merger question before the next ses- sion Of Congress.
 The Legion, divided within its own ranks on the controversial unifica- ton of command issue, last night heard one of the foremost oppo- nents of a single department of national defense.
 King Sounds Opposition
 Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the U. s. fleet, sounded the Navy's opposition to the proposed merger when he recommended that a presidential commission investigate the plan.
 King, speaking before the open ing session of the convention, de- clared that before any action is taken the problem should be studied by a special board Of civilian and military leaders.
 Tn seconding accommodating of Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal, King said he was con- vinced that decisions of such grave importance should not be reached until all aspects of the question had been weighed and studied"
 Wants Unbiased Report
 T submit that the best approach and the only one-that will bring the desired result Is a complete, thorough and unbiased study of the entire question of uniflcation and related national security by spe- cially appointed board of civilian and military leaders"
 Little fight was expected over a Legion endorsement of a military training program, which It's pre- convention committee has recom- mended, in the form of four-months basic training and eight months of advance training for high school graduates.
 The advanced training, the res- olution points out, can be spread

the fact that her underwear is mostly holes.
 Such Monkeying Around
 Two, big, grown men, she adds (tapping her foot), monkeying around with lingerie and the length of lady's skirt. Tch-tch, gentle men, she says.
 The trouble is she went shopping for her winter outfit. She could have bought a $19 dress for $69.5O she said, but it had short sleeves and a tight skirt in accordance with war time austrity styles. She didn't buy it, Snyder, because of your announcement that the regu- lations will be abolished after the spring selling season.
 She says that you are a mis- guided male who thinks the spring selling season is in the spring. She says ladies' fashions are like Christ mas in July. Winter dresses sold out last summer, spring frocks are here now, and before the first heavy snow, next summers dresses go on sale.
 Quickly Last Years Rag
 There're the ones that1l be dif- ferent. It'll surprise here If they don't have nine yards of cloth in the skirts, sleeves like ballons, and maybe bustles. Why should she spend her $69.50 for a dress that1l be last years rag before she wears it twice? That's you she's talking to, Reconversion Director Snyder.
 As for you, Bowles, she likes your OPA in theory, but when a lady needs pair of underpants. she needs 'em. She says ragged union suits may not bother a man, but that underwear with the lace in Shreds does something to a female soul. This isn't good.
 She invested in one pair of OPA pants, but they had so much cloth in 'em (sleaZy, she said) that they wadded up in bumps in ill-assorted places. There she was: Bumpy pants underneath; a tight skirt outside. Bowles responsible for the pants; Snyder for the skirt. The bumps shining through like golf balls in her hip pocket.
 Fur Coat Out
 That was the difficulty, fellows. She had no hip pocket.
 This brings up something else. She wanted a fur coat. So the OPA skips fur coats altogether and the $500 kind goes up to maybe $500. Then Congress taps 20 per cents onto that, making the price $720. She asks, is this logic?
 Holding down the price of 69 cent pants until there aren't any and tacking on so many hundreds of dollars to the cost of coat that only a Maharaja's wife can afford it? Chats the way in bride talks. without verbs, when she gets exer- cised).
 There you are, Snyder and Bow les. She, knows a man, who owns a horse. She understand it's white There is no price control on horses. Neither will they change in style. You better take steps, gents, before she buys that horse. She is brush- ing her hair, so it'll grow long.

Continued from Page D this motion was attached Social ist amendment that the Socialists had decided not to take position until DeGaulle made up his mind whether he wanted to try once more to form a government.
 Pleads for Unity
 Andre Philippe, speaking immedi- ately after Duclos, presented the Socialist position. He said the Socialists, despite everything. wished to make one more attempt to achieve a big three coalition head ed by DeGaulle.
 Philippe made an impassioned plea for unity for the sake of France.
 There need only be discussion and agreement and four-fifths o. the assembly will be reunited" he said.
 Philippe said that If this effort a' conciliation failed the Socialists would feel that they had done everything possible to heal the breach.
 There was no indication that the Socialist move had caused any change in the Communist attitude.

 The diaries told of the mass ex- ecution of Allied prisoners of war on Palawan in December 1914 be- fore the American invasion of that island.
 POWs Cruelty Treated
 Kerr also introduced as evidence an affidavit from Maj. Robert F. Conn, Geneva, Minn., recounting the transfer of 1900 American pri- soners of war to Manila from Olongapo in the same month. The prisoners. Conn's statement said, were publicly humiliated, beaten and exposed to gunfire.
 Kerr was expected to close the prosecutions case tonight with showing of atrocity films to the tri- bunal.
 Court observers looked for the defense to ask for an acquittal ver- dict as soon as the prosecution rests. If the motion is denied, the defense probably will request two- week recess to permit the collection of witnesses and evidence.

 such town and who, with the written consent of the Board of education, attends any high school, provided such high school shall be approved by the state Board of Education"
 In his ruling the State Attorney General declares:
 While 1t is true that the man date of the statute requires each town not maintaining high school to pay the reasonable and necessary cost of transportation to a high school in another town, do not construe the statute as compelling parents to avail themselves of this convenience; parents may, if they so desire, furnish their own transpor- tation. In such case there is no transportation expense involved (to the town) hence no reasonable and necessary cost of transportation specified in the statute, which the town must pay"
 Relative to the issue it was also ruled that any parent providing transportation for his own children, who did so only by arrangement with town authorities and not by formal contract, cannot, in case Of accident and injury, seek to sue said town.
