ONE GERMAN ZONE
Byrnes Makes This Plain
Before Four-Power Mini

By JOSEPH \.

of State James F. Byrnes told
the four-power Foreign Ministers
council Thursday night that the
United States wanted a central adj
ministration established for Ger

If such a Capitalization plan wa
not now attainable, the American
secretary said, then the Unitec
States, as a last. resort" woulc
like to see the present four Al
lied zones of occupation in tbs
Reich merged economically.
Molotov Plan
Byrnes made his statement "a
hours after Soviet Foreign Minis
ter v. M. Molotov had called for
the setting UP at once OF a central
German administration "as 2
transitional step toward the es-
tablishment of a future German
government with which the Allies
could sign a peace treaty.
The five-hour meeting of the
ministers Thursday produced no
agreements. But the ministers de-
cided that they would hold a spe-
cial meeting on German problems
in the autumn after the adjourn
ment of the United Nations gen.
eral assembly in New York. The
date for the ministers autumn
session was not fixed.
French Dismayed
While Byrnes and Molotov were
placing themselves on record in
favor of Capitalization, the French
delegation heard with open dis
may British Foreign Secretary Ern-
est Bevin's statement that Brit
ain was going ahead Immediately
with Autonomous" control of its
zone.
Bevin took his stand in the light
of the councils inability to agree
on an inter-zonal exchange of goods
which he proposed Wednesday in
order to reduce Britain's huge
occupation costs. Bevin's proposal
was similar in it's aim to the
economic merger plan advanced
by Byrnes,

House Republicans disclosed

Their movement is in the early
stage and may not take definite
form for some time, but informal
conferences already have been held
preparatory to writing a bill for sub
mission to the House Commerce
Committee.
In addition to providing for regu-
lation of what may be said over
the radio, the proposed legislation
would curb the powers Of the Fed

One high-placed Republican said
the movement started after Stabil-
ization Director Chester Bowles took
to the air the night the House
passed battered price control bill

These bureaucrats, the legislator
said, apparently have the authority

ARAB MILITARY
ORGANIZATIONS MERGE

JERUSALEM (JPS-Palcor) =
The two Arab military organiza-
tions, Najadah and Futuwah, have
amalgamated by the decision OF
the Arab Executive. All mem
bers will swear allegiance to Hal
Amin el Husseini, Mufti of Jeru-
saIesm. When Jaffa lawyer, Mu-
hamed Mimr Hawari, founder OF
Naiadah, refused to place his
forces" under the direct COM
mand of the Palestine Arab
(Mufi's Party), Jamal Husseinl,
who heads the Party in the Muf's
absence, revived Futuwal first
founded in 1885, and launched a
campaign of villification against
Hawari. The bitterness Netween
the two "armies" led r. serious
clashes. Both Najadah and Futu-
wah haven't as yet enough arms
for all their members and train
with sticks instead of guns.
Palcor learns that the Haifa
branch of the Moslem Brother
hood, the fanatical Arab move
ment repeatedly responsible for
the November (1945) riots in
Cairo, has acquired 48 machine
guns, paying $128 for each. The
Arab Una Fund, purportedly col
lecting monies for the purchase of
saleable land to prevent it from
falling into Jewish hands, is re-
ported to have contributed $500
towards the purchase of the ma
chineguns.
Mr.. Sidney w ei S S b erg is

Leonard Weiner were chosen for
