note that in Austria S western occu-

To Study Coal Distribution.
A French source said the min
listers did agree to name a special
committee to study the problem of
how much German coal production
to leave to the Germans and how
much to allot to the Allies.
The committee will report to the
Berlin Control Council, which will

An American proposal to restore

many, superseding what Mr.. Byrnes
described as the present "air-tight
compartments of the four occupa-
ton zones.
U. S. Would Make Separate Pact.
Mr.. Byrnes said that If the Amer
ican proposal were turned down, his
Government was willing as a last
resort to make an economic merger
of its occupation zone with that OF
any member or members of the Big
Four.
Meanwhile, the Ministers formal
ly scheduled another meeting
probably in November-to continue
the study of Germany.
Mr.. Byrnes' proposal was made "a

ultimately would be able to sign a
peace treaty with the Allies.
Byrnes Supports Molotov.
Like Mr.. Melotov, Mr.. Byrnes SAID
he favored revival of Germany
peaceful industries. He added
however, that this revival should
not receive priority over the eco.

has devasted."
Mr.. Byrnes said the Allies should

American tobacco dealers in

Fred S. Register of Henderson,

from Representative S. j. Erwin,

Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
Acheson cited a, customs mott
fication which said, with reference
to tobacco imports into China:
Commodities licensed for any
quarter must be liable to rejection
unless there is evidence to be i'm
ported not later than the following
quarter, otherwise future applica-
tons will prove that delay in ar
rival is due to unforeseen circum-
stances"

in line with the resolutions drawn
up by representatives of American
tobacco growers, warehouscmer
and exporters, the departments Of

Coast to coast questioning Of
voters by the Institute reveals
that the majority think there is a
great deal" or a fair amount
of communism in the unions, and
that the majority of union mem
bers think SO, too.
Communist influence
The extent of communist influ-
ence in the unions is, of course,
a matter of opinion even among
experts most closely connected
with the labor movement. The
average American can do no more
than form a general impression
based on what he has heard u
read. But there seems little ques-
ton that his impression, whether
correct or incorrect, is that com
munism is considerably more
than a minor factor.
The public was asked this ques-
ton in the poll:
"How much communism would

than for a quarter of each year,
but if licenses cannot be made on
a yearly basis, then airy import
license unused during a quarter
should be carried forward to a
succeeding quarter, not deducted

Register also had a letter written
by acting Secretary N. E. Dodd
to Senator Richard B. Russell, OF
Georgia, quoting the following Of
fetal cable from Shanghai: "All
American dealers leaf tobacco here
have received authorization to i'm
port quantities and values of Am

Question Settled
Register said the Chinese import
question had been threshed out at
a meeting of representatives of all
branches of the tobacco industry
held in Washington in the spring
with federal officials, and the State
department was requested to pro-
test restrictions imposed by the
Chinese government. He said the
Chinese ruling was not aimed at
barring tobacco imports, but
rather to give priorities to es-
sential foods, and that tobacco had
been accorded a status along with
kerosene and other high priority
semi-necessities.

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, - Women have
sent in the following questions re-
garding veterans rights:
Q-I am a WAC veteran. l I'M
derstand the Army is asking wom-
en- veterans to re-enlist. How long
would these enlistments last?
ALL former WACs who re-en-
ter the WAC must volunteer eth
er for the duration of the wal plus
six months or until June 30, 1947,
unless sooner relieved for the con
venience of the government"
Q-Can a discharged WAC who
married a o veteran borrow
money under the CT Bill of Rights
to 60 into business with her hus-
band?
Ayes. if she plans to spend
her full time working in that bust
ness.
O. served in the Nays WAVE
contingent during the war. Before
entering the service, I was a
school teacher. The head of the
school board told me I would get
my job back when l got out OF
service. He died while l was gone,
and a new man is now in charge.
He is willing to rehire me, but he
says he can offer me only a teach
ing job which doesn't pay as much
as I got before. Isn't he required
by law to give me a job at least
as good as the one I had before
enlisted? .
A-No. A federal statute can't
force a state to do anything. The
unemployment rights of the Selec-
tive Service Act do not apply to
state and local public officials.
Q-Several OF us who were WACs
have been talking about putting
our money together and starting
a nursery school. Could We get a
loan under the CT Bill of Rights
with which to start it?
Ayes. Before guaranteeing the
loan, the Veterans Administration
would want to make sure, how
,ver, tina. ali OF you had enough
experience to indicate that your
venture stood a reasonable chance
to succeed.
