NEW SECRETARY OF sTATE??

There was considerable fire be- hind the smoke that James F. Byrnes might resign as Secretary of State and be replaced by Gen George Marshall.
 Real fact is that such a change was definitely in the works, though now it may not happen. Reaction to the trial balloon sent up in the newspapers was not good.
 Behind the smoke is the fact that several high-up insiders have been lgunning for Byrnes. Also he and the President have not always seen eye-to-e -eye-especially on Russia Truman was especially irked when his Secretary of State, coming back from the Moscow Conference, re- leased the final eommunique before the White House received 1t.
 Since then. Byrnes has been scru- pulously careful to show everything to Truman. Every speech, every statement is taken over to the White House well in advance.

'WeIles DepIores Acquitta|

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Former Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles predicted last night
that the refusal of the Nuremberg
court to judge the German general
staff guilty will have far-reaching
consequences to the detriment OF
world peace"
In his weekly broadcast, Mr.
Welles said it was sure" that "the
German officers who have been in
culcated with the militaristic doc
trines of Germany's past will con-
tinue to plan and to prepare the
way for a new war"
The acquittal of the German gen.
eral staff, he added, will be regarded
by the masses of German people "as
proof of their own contention that
the German general staff is free
from war guilt"
They will continue to look to ii
as the agency which alone can re-
constitute that great and powerful
Germany capable of realizing the
ultimate ambition of the Germans to
conquer and rule the world" Mr.

Five Chest Agencies
Report Food Funds
Exhausted for Year

Because of the rising cost of food,
five agencies of the Community
Chest Federation have exhausted
their funds and have made an
emergency plea to the Chest for ad-'
ditional funds to buy food for the
closing months of this year.
William o. Tufts, newly ap-
pointed budget manager Of the
Community Chest of Washington,
who reported the request Of the,
agencies for $11 $50, said that If the
cost of food rises above the IL per
cent predicted rise in 1947, which
was used in figuring the budget for
next year. the budget would have to
be revised in making allotments
after the conclusion of the Chest
Federation fund drive which begins
October %.
Drive Opens Today.
The Government unit, getting a..
head start on the October % date
was scheduled to launch its drive at
noon today with meeting Of about
1000 workers in the Interdepart-
mental Auditorium, Fourteenth and
Constitution avenue NV. John L..
Sullivan, Undersecretary of the
Navy, was to speak at the meeting.
President Truman gave Federal en-
ployeS permission to attend. .
The Chest agencies which made
emergency pleas for funds were the
Episcopal Home for Children, St.
Joseph's Home and School, Chill
dren's Protective Association, Stod-
dard Baptist Home and the nursery
school of Friendship House.
Requests Must Be Met. -
"These requests for additional:
money for food must be met even
though it may involve cutting vital
services" Herbert l.. Willett, execu-
tive director Of the Chest, said. He
added that Everything possible is
being done to meet the needs of the
agencies this year."
Just as food costs are going up;
for each of us as individual pur-
chasers, Mr.. Tufts pointed out, the
agencies are being forced to stretch
their food budgets this year. This
means one thing" he added. 1--WE
must not only meet the campaign
goal of $4,000, ,000-but exceed it by
as much as humanity possible"

that drastic increases in the cost OF
living need not have occurred II
President Truman had insisted that
any wage increases, freely nege-
tiated, should not break price cell
ings.
The AFL said it had co-operated
with the presidential order issued
August 10, 1945. just after VI day,
which allowed industry and labor to
bargain freely over wage increases
so long as they did not break price
ceilings.
Reconversion Needs Ignored.
I'VE co-operated fully with the
Presidents wage policy" the report
said, but added that some unions
outside the federation did not con-
slider the needs of reconversion."
THE President settled the steel
strike by breaking the price ceiling
of a strategic commodity" the AFL
declared, arranging a steel price
increase of IS per ton or 8 per cent
before the steel companies agreed
to grant an 1914 cent wage in
crease"
Another executive order was is
sued, the AFL related, which sup
erseded the Governments wage pol
icy Of August 1s and required that
"OPA grant price increases to COM
panies requesting them on the basis
of q wage increase approved by the
Wage Sterilization Board"
Disastrous Effect on Economy.
This provision for paying wage
increases by raising prices has had
a disastrous effect on the entire
economy" the AFL report declared.
"It resulted In price increases
throughout industry which have
caused a rapid increase in the cost
of living ." This drastic living
cost need not have occurred If the
Presidents wise wage policy Of Au-
gust 18 had been observed and If he
had insisted that it remain in effect

CLAY Sees No Threat
OF War From Germany
For IS or 70 Years
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Oct. lit. Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, deputy American military
governor, expressed belief today that
the world need not worry about Ger
many as a war threat for Is or 20
years unless it should become a
pawn"
II don't minimize at all Germany's
possibilities to come back over a
period of years." he told news
conference, but our worries of Ger
many as war threat 60 into the
next is or 20 years, and not the
nearer future unless it should be-
come pawn. Men don't fight with
their hands any more"
Interzonal Trade Increases.
Gen. Clay said the economic uni
fication of the American and Brit
ish zones Of Germany had aroused
Russian and French interest and
helped promote an increase in trade
and travel among all four zones.
There is as yet no tendency for
them to join us" he said. However,
interzonal trade and travel between
all zones has been increasing. and
friendly discussions are now going
on to make such trade and travel
even easier"
He said a German request that
the United States and British zones
also be made a political entity had
been opposed by the Americans be-
cause the Russians and French
might misunderstood. He said
United States and British authori-
ties were contemplating making
Bremen q free city. He forecast a
IS per cent reduction in military
personnel in Berlin as a result of
the merger.
Praise for Agreement.
He said the new four power agree
ment Of last week to liquidate Ger
many's industrial war potential,
providing for periodical inspections
in all zones, would work well and
help put an end to charges and
rumors that war proudcts are still
being produced in some zones"
He said the United States ship
ping strike was "a very definite
threat" to plans for increasing the
German food ration in the Ameri-
can and British zones to 1850 cal
ories daily next week.
Gen. Clay said the American
British plan of persuading Polish
displaced persons to return home
with the promise Of so days extra
food rations had been highly sue
cessful, with surprisingly big re-
sponse."

IL. n. Atomic Group

Plan for Control
By ths Asseeis,sd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct. T.
Scientific experts Of the United Ma.
tions Atomic Energy Commission
started discussions today to deter
mime whether Mexico's new middle
|of-the-road proposal offered q prac-
|tical way out Of the commission's
deadlock on atomic control.
The 12-nation committee Of sci
entists was called into closed session
today to answer specific question
submitted last week by Mexican
Delegate Luis Padilla Nervo In the
hope the reply might give the Polit-
ical Committee the basis for q COM
promise.
In substance, the question was
this: Is 1t technically possible to
construct plants which would con-
sumo denatured nuclear fuels fo1
industrial power, medical and re-
search purposes without "regen-
Grating" additional stocks OF such
fuels which might be used for atomic
weapons2
VIII Ask for Compromise.
Padillo Nervo said that II the sci.
entists found this technically feas.
ible he would ask the Political mo
y Committee to agree to what
would amount to a compromise be-
tween the proposals offered by the
United States and Soviet Russia.
He suggested that these secondary
installations might be operated ma
tionally. with only infrequent in
spections. while the plants actually
producing the raw materials suitable
for both atomic bombs and peaceful
uses could be operated by an in
ternational authority In interna-
tional zones.
This, In the opinion Of Padilla
Nervo, would help to meet Russia s
objections to inspections and at the
same time would offer the safe.
guards insisted on by the United
States.
No Indication Of Acceptance.
There was no indication, however
that the proposal would be accept
able either to Russia or the United
States, since all the delegates were
reluctant to comment before the
scientists had explored the ques-
tion.
Meanwhile, United States Repre-
sentative Bernard M. Baruch was
reliably reported to be planning a
declaration this week reaffirming
his atomic control policy and clar-
flying some of the points raised by
a statement Of former Secretary OF
Commerce Wallace last Thursday
Mr.. Baruch still has, not answered
Mr.. Wallace,s charges that he had
adopted "a stubborn and infiexible
approach" to negotiations involving
Russia.
The only other U. N. session
scheduled for today was closed
meeting of the Security Council to
consider a report to the General
Assembly on applications for U. N
