KiIqore Halls Eisenhower
For Boyorion Command Shit,

Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia last night hailed Gen.
Eisenhower's personal Intervention
in the administration of Bavaria"
with an expression of hope that it
will end what amounts to sabotage
of the Potsdam declaration" for in
dustrial disarmament of Germany.
Senator Kilgore said he had been
particularly disturbed by press ac-
counts that over the objection Of
the State Department and in direct
contravention of general order
issued in July, high officials of our
military government are now devot-
ing their efforts to a plan for reviv-
ing I. G. Farben's export trade in
stead of concentrating on the dis
mantling Of its facilities"
His statement was issued in con-
nection with publication Of a hither-
to secret report on how Germany
prepared economically for the war.
The report, prepared by the For
eign Economic Administration, was
submitted to a Senate Military Al
fairs Subcommittee of which Sena-
tor Kilgore is chairman. 1t was kept
secret during the war to keep from
the enemy information as to how
extensive was American knowledge
of German industry.

center, which processes most Mary

The highest daily rate so far
$50 discharges - was attained this
month. 1t compares to a daily
average for September of 581.
The center plans to process 900

discharges a day for $4,000 a
month.
The discharge machinery only

and the separation program, just
getting organized, was disrupted.
Double the present number of
1900 personnel center staff workers
are expected to be handing dis
charges by December, some OF the
work being done in new buildings.
Ofiicials explained that, under a
new rule, no person awaiting dis
charge may be given a furlough for
more than IL days. Servicemen pre-
viously had complained of being
given 45-day furloughs because the

Cronin To Show Rookie Star

Boston, April 12-(UP)-Man- ager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox was all set to take the wraps off his rookie pitching star Jim Wilson today in an effort to avenge the 3-1 setback his club suffered from the Braves in the opening contest of the five-game city series.
 Wilson, a husky righthander who won 19 and lost eight for Louis- vile last season, will be opposed on the hill by Jumbo Johnny Hutch ings for the Braves. Wilson was regarded as the best of the Red Sox moundsmen during spring training.
 The Sox got excellent pitching yesterday in the opener from Rex Cecil, but the Braves did even bet ter behind the five-hit perform ance of Ava Javery. The tribal veteran was wild at times, issuing five passes, but his control was masterful in the pinches.

 In the seventh, the Braves sewed up the tilt when Catcher Phil Masi's long single scored Tommy Nelson and Eddie Joost. Earlier, Outfielder Tommy Holmes had put the National Leaguers out in front with a homer into the rightfield bleachers.
 The Sox lone tally came in the third inning on Cecil's double and George Metkovich's triple. Second Stacker Jack Tobin led the Cronin- men at the plate with a double and single in four trips.
