 Eisenhower yesterday ordered the removal of all NaSls throughout the American occupation zone from any administrative positions, civil or in- dustrial. The order was effective to- day.
 Patton, at Q press conference at his Bavarian headquarters, advocat- cd the use of Maxi officials in some secondary posts, ct the same time insisting he was carrying out Eisen. hower's directives to the letter and would continue to do 30,
 Caustlc Observation
 Smith excused patton's recent statements to the press upholding the use of certain NaSis in office by saying;
 His mouth does not always carry out the functions Of his brain, George acts on the theory that it is better to be damned than to say nothing--that some publicity ia better than none"
 He said Eisenhower and hls head- quarters were convinced that Patton was making every effort to carry out the denaElfication program to the best of his ability.
 But he added that certain phases of the program needed revamping. Smith, outlining Eisenhower's pol- lev for governing Germany, said: Eisenhower does not tolerate thet any subordinate be in defereiace 70 his policy"
 Main Points
 He enumerated the main points Of the policy as follows;
 1, Complete denaEification, even though some efficiency is lost in the process.
 2. Placing the burden of care for displaced persons on the Germans as much as possible. 3. Re-establishing German itl- terior economy as iS necessary TOT everyday living.
 1, Removal of excess machinery -breaking up war machinery.
 8, Breaking down any remaining vestiges of German military ampi- tlons.
 Smith said Pattons claim that certain NAzis were necessary In key positions to cary out successfully the functions of life could Dc dis- regarded.
 HPatton's statement was in con. tradiction to Eisenhower'S order" !" Smith said. T think he (Patton) hes probably changed his mind by now"
 He said he did not know whether Patton, ct the time Of his state- ment, had received Eisenhowers military government banning the Nazis from supervisory positions. Patton as 0 soldier will carry out the orders of his commander. even though Q difference of opinion might he involved, Smith said.

 Rebukes Reporter
 The President was sharp when Q reporter cited reports that the ac- complishments of the council of foreign ministers so far had amounted to practically zero, failure"
 Dropping his usual smile, MT. Tru- man said bluntly that these reports were all surmises, nothing but Sur- misses. He recommended that the questioner wait to see the ofiicial re- ports on the big five meeting before terming 1t a failure.
 The chief executive said disposi- ton of Japanese fleet units probab- ly would have to wait for repara- tions conference for final solution, a conference similar to the one in pro- gross now involving Germany.
 As for the disposition of the Ger man fleet. the President pointed out that at Berlin, the big three worked ou a three way division of it's re- maining units with one group going to Russia, one to Great Britain and one to the United States.
 He would not say, however, wheth- CT the same formula would apply to disposing of Japanese naval strength.
 In the course of today's broad in- ternational discussion one reporter sought the Presidents reaction to a newspaper column yesterday which expressed the belief that this country is now in a more isolationist mood than 1t was in 1920.
 Road To Ruin
 The President said he did not agree and If we ever get to that point we are on our road to ruin as, as he put 1t. we were in 1920.
 MT. Truman said he expected sec- retary of state James P. Byrnes to return to this country with 10 days. He said he did not expect MacAr- thur to return to this country soon, explaining that he had no reason to ask him to come back.
 He denied that any preparations were being made for another pig l three meeting. MT. Truman was questioned about report that the late President Roosevelt had old the King of Ara bia that this country would not make an issue of the Palestine Jew ish home.

 The purpose in calling Browder first is believed to be to give him an opportunity to explain on what grounds his leadership was repudi- ated by American Communists. Fos- ter later will be asked to explain in what respects Providers policies were distastefui to American Com munists and what are the immediate and long range party obJectives un- der the new management.
 The implications of the public discussion in the Communist press prior to the party vote which de- posed browder were that American Communists were returning to their class war philosophy. Although Browder was deposed from leader ship he was not expelled from the party. It is likely, however, that he is under some formal or inc formal pledge not to criticize the present party leadership. If so, he will find himself in a difiicult pos- tion under committee question: ing.
 Communists denounce the com- mittee Subpoenaed as the attack on "the very basis of political freedom" They have been seeking. without much evident success so far, to rolly organized labor against the committees investigation. Rep. John E. Rankin, D., Miss, is a commit tee member and among congress men most frequently denounced by American Communists, left wing adherents and liberals.
 Rankin, on occasion, has been as- sailed on charges of fred batting" He says he expects at the hearings which begin today to obtain from Communists themselves exact in- formation regarding their program in the United States. He believes that an outline of Communists plans from the lips of Communists could not be challenged hereafter as un- fair to the party.
 N. Y. Representations
 This hearing may have some echoes in New York where mayor ailty election will take place next November. Davis is a candidate for reelection to the city council. His candidacy originally was endorsed by Tammy Hall, the New York County Democratic organization. Edward J. Loughlin. Tammany leader, later withdrew the endorse ment. Loughlin also has been sub. ponaed to appear.>It is understood that some committee members desire to ask him why Davis was endorsed in the first place and why the en- dorsement was withdrawn

 The government effort to end the gasoline strike spotlighted wave of postwar reconversion labor trou" bles over the nation.
 Elevator operator and building service strikes involving i6,O00 workers, paralyzed much of New York's business life. In Detroit, where strikes have crippled auto making, there were e2,000 out. Home building suffered Q setback in the northwest, with 60,000 workers Strikebound. Twenty.nine thousand coal miners left West Virginia and Pennsylvania pits.
 Clothing Workers
 An estimated 300, 900 CIO clothing workers were idle in New York when they refused to break the ATL Building Empioyes' picket lines in the elevator strike.
 As refinery operators and labor forces lined up their arguments at the Chicago conference, the oil workers union called e halt to spread of walkouts in the industry until the conciliation sessions are completed.
 Daniel T. Pierce, assistant to the president of Sinclair Refining Co.,, claimed the Sinclair Company had no present dispute" with its em- ployes and a dispute had been manufactured for the avowed pur. pose of coercing us into signing Q blank check on an unknown future" l"
 The Chicago meeting was consid- cred the first important test of the Labor Departments revamped post war conciliation service. J. o. Hub- bard, Houston, Tex, and A. Jlohum- inert, St. Louis, are the other panel members.
 Detroit Scene
 Detroit's labor picture cleared somewhat as federal approval was given the United Auto Workers (CIO) for a strike vote Oct. 25 among l50O0O Chrysler workers. A strike vote also is set for 360.000 General Motors employees on Oct. 24.
 Chrysler began negotiating yester- day over the 90 per cent wage ;ii- crease demanded for the auto indus try by the JAW.
 Unionists planned to ask an Oct. Ii strike vote in Ford Motor co. plants. Renewed efforts were made to halt the lengthening walkout at Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Co, where the idleness of 4,500 equipment workers has thrown 50,000 Ford employees out of work.
 Across the Detroit river, the Windsor, Ont, municipal tax may be increased to provide food allotment for families of tn. 10000 on strike from i've Canadian Ford plants.
 AFL Teamsters began an intra- union dispute in the Pacific North. west lumber strike when they re- fused to stop trucking operations into strikehound lumber yards. The teamsters said they must respect their own contracts with the yards. CIO lumber workers also were exc pected to join the AFL lumber walk out.

 He also released an order from Eisenhower holding German indus try in the American zone respon. sible for purging all Nazis in super Visory or managerial jobs.
 Both orders originally were an- nounced at Eislenhower's head- quarters in Frankfurt yesterday following Gen. George s. Patton's statement at a press conference that he favored continuing some Nazi second-raters in office for the sake of efficiency.
 Patton is military governor Of Bavaria.
 The order to German industry to all intents and purposes restricts NaZis still at liberty to manual labor unless they can prove in an appeal to local military govern ment officers that they were noEIa- final non-active Nazis who were forced to join the party.
 Rigorous Policy
 Clay, asked at a press conference whether he was a hard" or soft peace man, replied:
 General Eisenhower and I both are going to carry out the policy of the United States government vigorously. Does vigorously mean hard? Well if the United States policy is hard. 1t does.'
 Clay thought 1t would be Hong, long time" before Eisenhower would permit any American soldiers 70 marry German women despite ter imitation of the fraternization ban.
 He disclosed that the Allied Con- trol Council for Germany was very actively pursuing" the question of a permanent central German ao- ministration and said he was hope ful of an early agreement.
 Clay said the immediate aim or the control council was to estaD- fish only five German technical agencies with jurisdiction over all occupation zones. These would deai with transportation, communica- tions, industry, foreign trade and finance in fulfillment of the Pots- dam order to treat Germany as an economic whole.
 "As far as the United States is concerned" Clay said, i've have de- liberately refrained from estabiish- ing any central zonal administra- ton because we expect our laende (state) governments to function di- rectly under a national central ad- ministration.
 Various Units
 "If we don't get central machil- cry within a very short time. we will be forced to create one for our zone and we would hate to set up such an artificial political unit"
 Clay said 1t was possible that other central administrative units dealing with health, education. labor and justice would be estab. lished later. but added that the United States favored decehtraliza- ing such functions and making them the responsibility of the laende governments.

 Amerlcan Position
 British Foreign Secretary Ernest HeVln and chinese Foreign Miniss ter Wang Shihs Chieh subsequently, supported the American position, informants said.
 Though the United States ap. peared to have headed of consider ation of Japan ct the present meet- ing, informed sources said 1t was logical to assume that the next meeting of the Foreign Ministers council would be devoted to the Pacific enemy.
 United staets was considered c likely site for the next meeting.
 The Soviet memorandum gener- ally was regarded aS a unilateral Russian move perhaps aimed at strengthening Russia's diplomatic bargaining position in the Pacific.
 Though Australia also has been anxious to force consideration of Japan ct the present meeting, Q source close to Australian Foreign Minister Herbert Evatt said he had no advance knowledge of the Sov- let move.
 pr. Evatt, though not Q member of the Big Five Council, Is remain. ing in London for the duration oi the conference on guard against any Pacific decisions on which Aus trailia has not been consulted.
 Evatt may make statement later today in view of the Russian move. Bevin was understood to be commit ted to support specific Australian demands on Japan.
 Balkans
 Some hope for solution of Balkan problems confronting the council was seen in a Budapest announce ment that the United States has offered to recognize the Soviet-sup- ported government of Hungary.
 The American offer was the first break in the heretofore solid Anglo American front against Soviet backed governments in southeast Europe.
 However, the London Daily Tele- graph said the course of the foreign ministers meeting as a whole had been bitterly disappointing.
 On most of the subjects discussed by the council. Russia has differed from the rest, the editorial said, and 1t is clear that Russia is edging away more and more from an inter- national solution of problems to- wards their regional treatment.
 "This would explain both her re- fusal of an invitation to join in the supervision of the Greek elections Greece being outside her sphere and her virtual insistence that her xiw of conditions in the Balkan states. they being within her sphere-should prevail"
 The editorial asserted that there are inconsistencies in the Soviet pole icy and said that any talk of a vest ern European federation which might constitute another sphere arouses Russia's opposition.
 Asserting that old boegys are tough, the editorial said:
 "There are many indications that the bogey of suspicious of other powers has survived in Russia and in spite, so far as Britain is con- cerned. the Anglo Russia treaty"
 The editorial concludes that there is Q real desire to appreciate and re- cooperation for crisis" and If there is a real desire to appreciate and re- concile contending points of view. then, those who are letf to carry on the work of the council win not have a hopeless job"
