FoIkenhorst Surrenders
By JACK FLEISCHER

Seventh Army Headquarters, May 11-(UP)-Gen. Nikolaus von Falk- enhorst, former German command CT in Norway, surrendered today With an assertion that the Allies have liberated Germany from "a system of gangsters."
 Its national disgrace that we were unable to liberate ourselves, /" he told Maj. Gen. Harry J. Collins, commander of the And (Rainbow) Division.
 Falkenhorst was picked up at Traunstein, where he had fled when the Russians approached his home near Breslau. One of Germany'S ablest strategists in combined land, sea and air operations, he com- manded all forces in Norway from the invasion April g, 194O until the middle of last December.
 He said he was relieved of his command when Col. Gen. Lothar Rendulic went to Norway from Fin land following the latter's capitula- tion.
 Germany is through now as a world power and you need never fear she will rise again and wage another war" he said. Tt would take 100 years to repair this country to the point where it was in 1920"
 Germany never at any time could have beaten the United States, he said.
 The army knew it." he said. Your country can produce more in one day than Germany can in one month. Everyone should have known that when war was declared

Dispute Seen On Patronaqe For Courts

Waterburys court appointment situation Sti1l hangs in the air it has been learned with Republicans de- termined to block attempts of the local Democrats to seek certain posts. Latest reports disclose that the COP adherents, who two years ago blanketed every one of the 10 city court positions here with their own appointments, are now seeking to retain at least six and concede the remaining four to the Demo- crats. AS reported here previously the latter seek six and are willing to permit the Republicans to retain the remainder.
 The Republicans are said to be willing to concede one judgeShip, one prosecutorship, small claims or clerk of court and stenographer. They have served notice, it was de- clared, that they wont relinquish the post of probation officer now held by Atty Yale Matzkin. This was clearly indicated when the local COP adherents put through bill increasing, by S1,000, the salary of | the probatio officer.
 It was agreed among legislative leaders, two weeks ago, that the di- vision on minor court patronage would be effected upon 50-5O basis with any odd positions, in numbers, being given to the incumbent party in the individual city or town. Ac- tually, in Waterbury though there are 10 positions to be filled, one, the stenographer for the probation officer, is part-time position. Hence the Democrats in this in- stance seek the majority of six to four.
 Not much faith was placed in the agreement to split 50-50, as in other years when similar agreements were made the final weeks of session re- suited in mad scramble by both sides to get what was obtainable.
 Although Governor Baldwin is said to be favorable toward being lenient to the Waterbury Democrats undoubtedly he will have to favor the Republicans particularly on the basis of the strong COP showing made in the city last fall.
 Only three weeks remain of the current legislative session which may result in intra-party repercus- sions if the patronage situation is not cleared up shortly.

Program Set For Germany
By FRED SCHERFE

Washington, May 11-(UP)-The U. s. military government of Ger many will exercise iron control over the lives of German people in the American-occupied section, it was revealed today by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson.
 Stimson, outlining the AMG set up for Germany, said America s uniformed bosses of the Reich would be charged with demobilizing the German army in their portion of the country, demilitarizing the en- tire area, wiping out the Gestapo and thoroughly "deNazifying" the territory.
 They will rule over all courts, over domestic and foreign politics, over manpower and the areas econ- omy. They will control all forms of public expression and the domestic police. There will be censorship of news going to the outside world, but it will be based "solely on mill itary necessity" according to Stim- son.
 One of the most important agen- cles will be an intelligence section which will purge public agencies and German industries of Nazis and ruthlessly suppress activities of any German underground such as the "WereWolves."
 Stimson said this country h ad been working for many months with Britain. France, and Russia to coordinate stern" program for Germany. AS agreed on at Yalta, the four nations will sit on a joint control council or commission in Berlin and in addition each will oc- cupy a zone of Germany.
 Stimson did not delineate the zones of occupation, nor did he say whether the other three nations had plans for military government of their areas similar to those of the War Department for the U. s. zone.
 The secretary said Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower would be the Amer lcan representative on the control council and also commander of the U. s. zone. His deputy will be tough-minded" It. Gen. Lucius

 Point System Now CIickinq
BY REUEL S. MOORE

Washington. May 11-UP)-The army's vast machinery for shifting and partial demobilization of some 3,100000 soldiers in the European and Mediterranean theaters was getting under way today.
 From among these men, and Pa cific veterans too, the army plans to discharge more than 1,3OO,0OC men on point system in a year. At present, 85 points make man elig- ible for discharge, but he may have to wait months to get the dis. charge The number of points re. quired may be decreased later. It is a complicated business in Europe, because Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen. Joseph T. Me Narney must first reshuffle person. nel from one division to another and one unit to another.
 Except for outfits which must move promptly to the Pacific and for wounded men not in any special outfit, surplus soldiers will be shift ed to surplus units before the mass movement of troops bsgins.
 The army explains the procedure this way:
 Let us take the infantry as an example, and let us assume that there are four infantry divisions in the thaater, and that one division has become surplus.
 "The theater commander will then grade the men in all four divisions according to the priority credit scores, select out the top fourth, and designate these men as surplus.
 He will then shift all the men remaining in the surplus division who are not surplus into the active divisions, and then transfer all the surplus men from the active divi- sions into the surplus division, which will now serve as vehicle for event. ually returning them to the United States.
 Remember, however, military ne- cessity governs this selection and transfer. That means no man in a unit that remains in service can become surplus until a qualified re-

M|NESPOLLUTE
 JAPAN'SMAjOR INLAND HARb0R
BY LLOYD TUPLING

Guam, May II. - (UP) - Japan's Tn a n d Sea and major harbors are ''polluted" with mines dropped by a fleet of Superfortresses seek ing to bottle up the enemy's naval and merchant fleets, the 21st Bomber Command disclosed today.
 A spokesman at Maj. Gen. Curtis Lemay's headquarters said that the "aim of the mining is to assist in destruc- tion of Japanese productive power, both military and civilian, by paralyzing the e n e m y's ship-borne com merce."
 Tt has been estimated that 75 per cent of all Japanese transporta- ton is Waterborne," he said.
 12 Night Missions
 Superforts based on Tinian have carried out nearly dozen night mining missions since the plan was inaugurated March 27, in time to support the invasion of Okinawa.
 General Henry H. Arnold, com mander of the Army Air Forces, an- nounced in Washington that the 20th Bomber Command, based in India, also has participated in min- ing operations. The two commands forming the 10th Air Force have participated in a total of 19 mining missions. Arnold said the operations began II months ago and that the India-based Superforts scattered mines at the entrance to Singapore harbor in January0
 The inland sea and it's approaches especially the narrow Shimoneseki Straits between Kyushu and the western tip of Honshu and all the major ports of Japan, have been mining targets.
 |. Lemays announcement said the operations will continue indefinite ly'' because mining must be main- tained in order to be successful" He said mined areas can be effective only until the Japanese clear the the channels.

 Big Ipo Dam
By DON CASWELL

Manila, May II - U.P0 = Tw6 columns of 43rd Division troops on Luzon closed in today on big Ipo dam in an effort to reopen one of the main water supplies for Manila. General Douglas MacArthur an- nounced that bombers of the Far Eastern Air Force had sunk or severely damaged 1892,082 tons of Japanese shipping throughout the South Seas in the first four months of this year.
 He also disclosed that Australian troops on Tarakan of the east coast of Borneo penetrated the southern part of the Djoeata airfields, and continued gains by American troops around Davao on Mindanao in the southeastern Philippines.
 In the drive on Ipo, largest dam in Manila's water supply network 19 miles northeast of the capital, one contingent of the 43rd Infan. trymen reached within two miles of the dam from the south.
 At the same time another force which had circled around to the west was closing in on the northern approaches of the water basin. The dam divertS one-third of the flow of the Angat river into Manila,s water system and its capture would quickly alleviate the capitals dwindling supplies.
 Almost every type of bomber in the Philippines was thrown into . new assault on the strong Japanese positions in the Cagayan Valley in northern Luzon. More than 300 tons of explosives were sown through the valley, lying just before American

Job Freezes To Be Lifted
By HELENE MONBERG

washington, May ll.-(UP)-Mll- lions of workers who have long been frozen" in their jobs will soon be free to seek employment where they choose under a sweeping relaxation of manpower controls announced today by the War Manpower Con- sion.
 All manpower regulations-such as job freezes, the compulsory 48- hour work week and manpower ceilings-will be lifted by July in 116 communities where the labor supply is equal to or in excess of demand These areas are known as Groups III and W under WINGS Abor market classification system.
 Among them are such centers of Industry as Lowell and Lawrence, Mass, and the entire New York city metropolitan area.
 Tn these and otber areas where controls may also be lifted work CTS will not need after July 1 certi- ficates of availability from employ CTS or the WING before changing jobs.
 In Groups II areas, where there is an approaching balance of labor supply and demand, manpower con- trolS will be left up to areas WING directors who may lift them at any time after consulting with area management-labo committees and getting the approval of regional WING directors.
 Controls will be continued in Group I areas where there are acute labor shortages, but because of war production cutbacks the number of these groups is expected to drop sharply in the next three months. WING estimates the number may drop from "A as of May 1 to less than 20 by July l.
 Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt warned that manpower controls would not be entirely elim- mated until the war with Japan was over. and said that if relaxa- tion "in any way jeopardizes war production, more stringent controls -.-ill be immediately restored"
 The manpower chief said present signs indicate there will be 2,500, = 900 unemployed 12 months from now compared to 100000 at pres ert. However reconversion, expan- sion and hiring by many industries will provide jobs for most workers who lose their war jobs through cutbacks, he added.

Danes After Farley Seot
BY R. H. SHACKFORD

San Francisco, May 1I.-CUP)- The United States and Britain will oppose further invitations to the United Nations Conference to pre- vent revival of the Russian dc mands for admission of the Warsaw Polish government, 1t was learned today.
 The issue of other invitations is expected to be raised formally agaiu and soon. The Norwegian delega- ton may aSk-unless prevailed upon not to do so - that its Scandin ; avian neighbor-liberated Denmark I-be made the 50th participating na- tion here.
 Argentina became the 49th after a bare -knuckle row with Russia in a public plenarty session.
 Norwegian Foreign Miniser Trygve Lie already has taken preliminary steps in behalf of the Danes. He wrote personal letter to Secretary Of State Edward Stettinius, Jr., sug- gesting that Denmark be extended an invitation to San Francisco. That personal suggestion apparently was shelved.
 Now, it was learned, the Nor wegian delegation plans to present to Stettinius as co-chairman of the conference an official request for a Danish invitation, one that would have to be acted upon by the ex- exutice and steering committees.
 Now that the British and Ameri- cans appear to have successfully removed the Polish issue from this conference, they will move heaven and earth to keep 1t from marring the final days of the session" here.
 They believe that an invitation to Denmark may do just that. Meanwhile, the conference plodded on its way toward the writing of a world organizatino charter. More
