Army to Try Flight
 Howoii to Egypt
 Over Polar Cop

Washington, Sept. 6-UP)-The Army Air Forces reported today that a picked crew of airmen and their stripped-down B-29 were sci to take of tomorrow, weather per hitting, to attempt a record 10000 miles nonstop flight from Hawaii to Egypt over the Polar ice cap.
 The plane, dubbed the "Pacusan Dream Boat" will be flown by Col c. s. Irvine. It is the same plane pilot combination which set the present nonstop record last Mo- vember, 8,l98 mile hop from Guam to Washington. D. c.
 The planes flight will take 1t from Hickam Field, Hawaii to Point Barrow, Alaska, over the Magnetic pole, northern Greenland and then to London, Foggia in Italy and finally Cairo.

 The flight also will test the lat est air force instruments and equip ment over the Magnetic pole ano under polar weather conditions.

ment should not be hand-picked by other governments"
 4.-"Subject to the reserved authority of the Allied Control Council" the German National Council should be responsible for the central agencies which will administer Germany as an eco- homie unit It should also draft federal constitution of Ger many" which should ensure the democratic character of the new Germany.
 5.-Germany must observe the principles of peace, good neigh borliness and humanity" and must not become the satellite of any power or powers or live un- der a dictatorship, foreign or domestic.
 Refers to Own Treaty Byrnes touched again on his pro- posed treaty. rejected by Russia under which the Big Four would for 25 or 40 years enforce German demilitarization. In an apparen effort to revive it, or something likt 1t, he said it would have made pos sible a smaller army of occupation
 For enforcement" Byrnes said i've could reply more upon force of trained inspectors and less upor the infantry"
 Byrnes linked the prospect o Germany's becoming a pawn of Eas or west with the industrial strong holds of the Ruhr and Rhineland.
 While the U. s. will not oppos the desire of the people of the tw areas to remain in Germany, Byr nes said, the resources of the Ruh must never again be used for des tructive purposes. Without then he said, Nazism could never hay threatened the world.
 Therefore, Byrnes said, "the Unit ed States will favor such control over the whole of Germany, includ ing the Ruhr and Rhineland, a may be necessary for security pur poses. It will help to enforce thos controls. But 1t will not favor an, controls that would subject tn Ruhr and Rhineland to politica domination or manipulation of out side powers"

Byrnes Urges Return
 Of Germany TO.PeOple

The German National Council proposed by the American secretary would be composed of democratic ally responsible" minister presidents or other chief officials of states or provinces from each of the present four occupation zones.
 The council would prepare the draft of a federal constitution for Germany which, after approval by the Allied Control Council, would be submitted to an elected convention for final drafting and then to the German people for ratification by a plebiscite.
 Refers Little To Russia
 Byrnes said Allied security forces will probably have to remain III Germany for 8 long period.
 He referred to Russia by name only 8 few times in his $500 word address. But he made it unmls- takably clear that the United States would not tolerate a tug-of- war between Russia and the western allies over Germanys enormous wal potential.
 He called for an end of "alien die tatorship" of Germany's economy and internal politics, and an early withdrawal of large armies of alien soldiers or alien bureaucratS."
 Byrnes was accompanied on his short German tour, which took him from Paris to Berlin, then to Stutt- gart, by Sen. Arthur H. Vanden- berg, (R.-Mich), and Sen. Tom Connally, D.-Tex), Mrs. ByrneS and State Department experts. Opposes Severing Ruhr, Rhineland In his decisive policy outline he also:
 l. Opposed severing the Ruhr and Rhineland from Ger many, but tried to Soothe France. which has insisted on their separation, by supporting French demands for annexation of the coal-rich Saar.
 2. Served notice that the U, s. would stand for no other territorial reductions in Ger many, except for Russian ac- quisition of the city of Koenigs- berg and its surrounding area and Polish acquisition of part of eastern Germany. Byrnes made it clear that the U. s. did not consider final Poland's occupa- ton of Silesia.
 3. Said the U. s. wanted the separation of Germany ana Austria to be complete and final.
 4. Reiterated that the Pots dam Agreement for an eco nomically united Germany was not being carried out and en- phasized that the U. s. would go ahead on its own with what ever other occupying powers would cooperate. Britain thus far is the only nation to join the U. s. move for unif1cation.
 5. The United States wants lasting peace. It will oppose both harsh and vengeful mea- sures which obstruct an effec- tive peace; and soft measures which invite the breaking of the peace"
 6. Warned the German peo- pie, and by indirection any other country that might be in- terested, that the U. s, intend ed to keep it's hand in European and world affairs, support the United Nations, and oppose force or the threat of force any where in the world.
 T. Bluntly disapproved the Russian practice of taking rep arations from current produc- tion. ""The United States will not agree to the taking from Germany of greater separations
