The structure would be made
relatively alright by a solid exc

Britain Disbands
Secret 9Th Army
By the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOCIATED Press.
LONDON. Sept. 1.-The British
9Th Army, which among other
things stopped French and Syrian
fighting in the Middle East last July,
was secret force" the War ONCE
disclosed today in announcing that
the unit had been ordered dis
banded.
The 9Th, which served in Syria and
Lebanon, had its headquarters in a
Lebanese village about 20 miles from
Beyrouth, and concentrated on
training, the maintaining of supply
routes andn internal security.
For four years it served with little
glamor and few troops, but it played
an important if unspectacular part
in winning the European war, the
War Once said.
There were several critical periods
when the 9th was called into i'm
mediate action-during last July's
disturbances, when disorders oc-
CURED in Beyrouth in 1943 and when
the War Office said, there was evi-
dence that the Germans were about
to make a push through Turkey.

ernmentS OF the Anglo-Saxon coun-
tries of the fate that awaited Europe
If Germany were to collapse. Though
he had very little hope Of success,
he was going to appeal to Churchill
and Roosevelt to stop the offensive
in the west and the aerial lombard
mentS.
Here he turned to address a ques-
ton to me. Who, he asked, did
regard as the contemporary who had
contributed most to humanity. With
out giving me time to answer, he
answered: Adolf Hitler. Unques-
tionably, Adolf Hitler"
Before I left, Ribbentrop asked
me If I had any concrete proposals.
I had no intention of letting him
know my real objects. He approved
of what told him and said he was
glad I was going to meet Himmler
There was no doubt that he now
realized the game was lost, but he
believed that he had solution. He
would reverse his famous coup of
1899 when he made the pact with
Russia.
Request Granted.
Two days later my request for an
interview with Himmler was granted.
At S pm. that day I was driven to
Hohen-Luchen, large hospital rs
miles north OF Berlin. The man
who came to accompany me was
Brigadefuehrer Walther Schellen-
berg, a man Of about IS, who struck
me as being the antithesis of Kalten-
Drummer. A lawyer by profession,
in 1910 he was appointed head Of
the political section Of the German
intelligence service and in 1914 head
of the whole organization.
In this capacity, I gathered, he
had worked hard to change the
policy Of the Third Reich. especially
its foreign policy. He had, moreover,
tried to oppose the bestialities of the
Gestapo. He told me later that
Kaltenbrunner hated him, had even,
though without success, tried to
make Himmler believe he was in
the pay OF the British secret service.
Now I was to meet Heinrich
Himmler, supreme head OF the SIS,
the Gestapo and the whole German
police system, minister of the in
terror and commander in chief of the
home army, the man who by his
terror system had stained politics
with crime in a manner hitherto
unknown. and who by this very
system had up to now held the tot
tering Third Reich upright.
Himmler Affable.

totaled about 100000 copies. Total
circulation of the regular dailies is
about zoe, 900.
Bernard Nordman, owner OF the
plant printing the News, said
Charles E. Bond, business agent of
the AFL Papercraft Workers Union,
parent union Of the carriers and
pressmen's locals, advised him
the plant should employ newspaper
web presSmen instead Of CONNER
cial printing pressmen.
The matter was presented to Maj.
George Berry, president Of the In
ternational Pressmen's Union, and
the Allied Printing Trades Council
of st. Louis, Mr.. Nordmann said.
He stated both instructed plant EN-
ployes to ignore the picket line.
Mr.. Bond was closeted with Com
missioner Arthur r. Hale of the
United States Cancellation Service,
and publishers representatives dis
cussing the carriers strike.
The three papers, the Post-Dis-
patch, Globe-Democrat and Star
Times, suspended publication Au-
gust II when the carriers set up
picket lines on a demand for col
lective bargaining privileges granted
by the National Labor Relations
Board.
The publishers contend the car
riers, adult supervisors, are indi-
vidual merchants.
An interunion committee of mail
ers, sterotypers and compositors, all

withdrew as mediators last week.
They then announced plans for

Job Bill Points WAY
To Balanced Budget,
|BowIes Testifies
Ey the Associated Press.

Price Administrator hester
Bowles asserted yesterday that the
Iso-called full employment bill and
the program necessary to make it
effective provide the only prac-
tical hope OF a balanced Federal
budget"
With a national production of
$200. .000, 900 900 worth of goods and
services annually, a regularly bal
anced budget should be readily OBJ
tainable with relatively moderate
taxes" Nj. Bowles told the Senate
Banking Committee.
But who would assume" he
asked, that with a national pro-
duction Of, say, only $4,000, ,0o0, 900
and with 10000, 900 men walking the
streets in search of jobs, we could
raise the necessary funds to meet
our Federal commitments within
the bounds of practical taxation?"
Calls for Broad Program.
Asserting the bill merely states a
national policy and calls for a pro-
gram to achieve 1t, Mr.. Bowles sug-
gested such a program include:
/. A long-range tax program to
encourage the maximum of private
investment and enterprise as soon
as infationary danger ends.
2. A social security program which
will cover all working groups.
3. A farm program which will
develop into a national policy oi
maintenance of high farm income.
4. Dropping the controls developed
during the war.

me In the green Waffen SIS uniform
without any decorations and wearing
horn-rimmed spectacles, he looked
a typical lower-grade civil servant
To my great surprise he was ex-
tremely affable. In our talks
found him vivacious personality
inclined to be sentimental. He was
a deft conversationalist.
1t was evident that at that period
Himmler was still In close contact
with Hitler. II have sworn loyalty
to Adolf Hitler" he told me at one
point. II cannot do anything in op-
position to the fuehrer's plans and
wishes"
It is equally certain that Hitler
was In full power at that time. To
some extent the actual leadership
may have passed out of his hands
but it was easy to see that many OF
those nearest to him continued to
have great respect for him and did
not dare oppose him.
Shortly before my arrival, Hmm
Ter had made a concession tc
Switzerland for reasons Of policy
without exacting a return conces-
sion. Hitler was seized by one of his
fits Of rage on learning of this, would
hear no argument, and forbade the
concession. 1t was evident that this
experience was still in Himmler's
mind as we talked.
Talked Two and a Half Hours.
We talked for two and a hall
hours Of my scheme to evacuate
Scandinavian political prisoners to
Sweden. Himmler sought conces-
sions could not demand. One felt
the shadow of Hitler over us all
along. 1t was evident that Himmler
was not so powerful as many
believed.
At length, l succeeded in persuad-
ing him to think over my proposals
Later, Schellenberg, who had been
with us throughout, told me the
matter was as good as settled.
When said goodbye to Himmler
he turned to Schellenberg and asked
him If he had chosen a good chauf
fer for me. Schellenberg replied
that he had the best man to be
found on account of the many tank
traps and barricades erected on the
road to Berlin. Good" said Hmm

|0fficiaI Call Goes Out
|Summoning Congress
Ito Meet "Wednesday
By the Associated Press.


An official call went out yesterday
for the reconvening Wednesday Of
q Congress already storing up plenty
Of hot oratory and trouble for the
administration.
The big job, of course, will be to
remodel old laws and enact new
ones to help ease the country into
q peacetime way of life.
q Eventually Congress may get
around to lowering taxes, perhaps
on next years incomes, which
always is a popular procedure with
both the legislators and the people.
Job Bills Spell Trouble.
But in the more immediate picture
and here's where trouble for the
administration comes in-are such
items as more unemployment COM
pensation for idle war workers, as
suring opportunities for jobs, con-
tinuing the draft, giving veterans
back their old jobs and determining
who gets fired.
Also coming up are disposal OF
leftover war supplies, consolidating
or abolishing some Government
agencies In the interests of economy
and efficiency, merging the Army
and Navy under one command.
President Truman wants action
on most of these, and Congress will
hear from him again Wednesday or
Thursday.
Open Season for Politics.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley.
one of the leaders who wired absent
members that Legislative expedi-
ency" requires that Congress get
back on the job this week, saw Mr..
Truman yesterday. The presiden-
tial message, he said, will cover re-
conversion, termination of lease,
lend and a good many other things.
For a week or more Congress may
have to content itself with debate
instead of action on Senate and
House floors And, with the war
over and most members coming up
for reelection next year, the open
season for politics will be on again.
There's plenty to talk about
Pearl Harbor, the draft, Army and
Navy discharges, atomic bombs, tax
es, lease-lend. The lawmakers are
expected to make the most OF the
opportunity.
