BERLIN, May IA purge of
German Fascist and militarist lit
erature, criticized in some Allied
quarters as "akin to the Nad book
burnings," has been ordered by the
four-power Allied Control Council
Destruction of Nazi and German
military memorials of World War
and II also was directed by the
council, in orders approved by its
Co-ordinating Committee. Many
monuments already have been razed.
THE Americans agreed to the
principle Of banning books glorifying
Nazi theories and German military
tradition" said Miss Vivian Cox, as
sistant to the deputy director of the
American armed forces division, in
discussing the order last night.
She added: 1.-THE American fought
this order at the start on the argu-
ment that if people wanted to re-
tain banned books they would find
places to hide them. So we insisted
either on a law naming specifically
the material to be destroyed or to
leave all decisions to the discretion
of zone commanders. The latter
was agreed upon."

Housing Bill Reaches
Truman Accompanied
ByPriorityCompIaints
by the kssociofed Press

The emergency home building
bill finally reached the White
House today, accompanied by
complaints from housing author
tiles about the amount of nom
residential construction per-
mitted by the Civilian Produc-
ton Administration.
Despite the partial freeze of IN
dustrial and commercial building
seven weeks ago, the National Hous-
ing Agency contends such activity is
being approved by CPA at a rate
which threatens serious drain on
materials needed for new homes.
Housing Administrator Wilson w.
Wyatt has made quiet but insistent
representations to CPA, officials of
both agencies revealed privately,
asking that the agency tighten its
reins on field men who rule on the
essentially" of store, factory and
other nonhousing projects.
To Order Curtailment.
A CPA spokesman, acknowledging
that the volume of approvals is en-
barrassingly large, said CPA will
order its field offices to cut down.
About $605, 100000 worth of non-
housing construction was approved
as essential in the first four weeks
of the freeze, the CPA spokesman
revealed, as against $67 900 900 worth
denied. The total of approvals in
cludes plant equipment, which is not
strictly construction.
These figures covered operations
only up to April Is, however, and
MIA officials voiced doubt that it
reflected the recent rate of nom
housing approvals.
OPA officials, on the other hand,
said it might become necessary to
screen the Federal Housing Admin
istrations approvals of new dwelling
construction more closely, in order
to conserve materials for factory
construction and other projects es-
sential to reconversion. FILA passes
on housing applications as CPA does
upon nonresidential projects.
The National Association of Home
Builders sailed into the controversy,
meanwhile, with a demand that the
existing construction orders be more
strictly enforced to prevent the di-
version of residential materials into
other buildings.
Such diversion is "the weakest
link" in the chain of supply between
manufacturers and home construc-
tors, said the association, now hold
ing a four-day conference with Gov
ernment men here
Tens of thousands" of home will
be left standing half built, an asso-
citation statement said, unless the
Government takes immediate and
positive action" to speed the supply
of materials for their completion.
The long -deadlocked home-build-
ing measure, carrying 100000, 900 in
subsidies for building supply COM
panies to spur their output. sped
through the House yesterday by
298-to-71 roll call, then romped
through the Senate by voice vote on
its way to President Trumans desk.
Mr.. Wyatt hailed it as providing
some of the basic tools" needed to
meet the goal of 2,700,000 homes in
two years. Previously he estimated
that 5000 homes a day were being
lost by Congress two-month delay.

Public Workers Union
Defends lis Policy
On Foreign Affairs

Lashing out at certain distorted"
newspaper accounts of its Atlantic
City convention, the United Public
Workers of America. CIO, today is
sued statement defending its con-
troversial foreign policy adopted at
the convention last month.
The newly created union made no
mention of charges hurled at it by
a group of disgruntled members
that the organization was follow
ing the Communist line" 1t as
serted, however, that the Atlantic
City convention merely voted its
support of program for keeping
the peace"
1t interpreted it's resolution
critcizing United States and British
policy toward Russia as a plea for
friendly cooperation among the
Big Three powers" The union also
stood by it's position that "the
threat of atomic warfare be elimi-
mated by placing the bomb under
United Nations control"
Opposed to Strikes.
A number of UPWA members
have announced their intention to-
fight for reframing of the foreign
policy resolution, one which would
hold Russia at least equally to blame
for dissension in the U. N.
UPWA's policy stated that no
v,oa,,, ha. 70 fnr.
ship would be barred because of po-
litical belief. Like the Constitution
of the United States, our constitution
makes no distinctions among public
employees, all of whom are eligible
to join and hold office without re-
gard to sex, color, religion, race or
beliefs" the statement said.
The UPWA statement, signed by
Abram FlaXer. president, and Flea
nor Nelson, secretary-treaSurer, en-
phasized that the union "is fatty
and unequivocally" opposed toI
strikes in the public service. There
are no conditions or ifs attached to
the no-strike policy in our constitu-
lon," the statement said.
1t was stressed, however, that
sometimes strikes do occur when
working conditions become "abso-
lutely intolerable' to the employees.
Asserting that the only way to pre-
vent strikes lies in correcting the
conditions by negotiation, the union
defended as necessary its adopted
rule which requires that if local
believes it has exhausted all possible
means of achieving it's objectives
must Immediately seek the advice of
the international president and be
guided by such advice or face Sus-
pension from the union.
Strikes Not Contemplated.
"We can imagine no circumstance
in which strike against an agency |
of the Federal Government would |
be sanctioned by the union; it is
not practical question" UPWA |
said Strike threats may, occa-
sionally, be expected to arise in
UPWA locals whose members are
not actually Government workers
such as the cafeteria workers in
Washington Government buildings. |
But in every instance the aid and
advice of the international union
must be sought by the local before
any action may be taken"
UPWA concluded its discussion of
its strike policy by stating: 1--WE are
not only against strikes in the public
service; we assume responsibility
for preventing them"

ing criticism of the Communists

of the Chinese government army.
Gen. Ho, who is Sc, said he was
stepping out to permit younger
blood" to take over, and that his
successor already had been selected
but could not yet be identified.

Communists insisted on his re-
moval from the scene entirely.
Gen. Ho denied that he would be
delegate to the United Nations
Conference, but said he might visit
the United States later as head of
a Chinese military mission.
The Communists, he said, were
trying to make him the "scapegoat"
for the civil conflict.

Ne1V Year Message
BIZ the Req. Clarence w. Crawford, D. D.,
Minister OF CALVARY Baptist Church.

Alfred Zimmern, an expert on inter-
national affairs at Oxford, what, in
his opinion was the chief obstacle
in building an enduring peace, and
the English scholar replied: "The
small-scale Individual" The man
who cannot. or will not, see over his
own national boundaries is not
equipped to live in the same world
with the airplane and the radio.
The man who insists on holding on
to his provincial hates and prejudices
is q positive menace in a world where
men have learned to split the atom.
A world Of close proximities calls for
men OF large understandings.
The third truth is the most i'm
portant of all. A man Is just as big
as his faith. II his faith in God and
man Is small, his, ideas will be small.
Some one has said it is the job Of
religion not to create new civiliza-
ton but to create the creators Of
new civilization. II a better world is
to be built, 1t must be built by those
who believe in better world and
who show in their own lives what
they want their world to be. And
the kind of a world we want will
depend on what we believe about God
and man. Let us this year watch
the incredible advances of science
with a faith that will give us the
moral qualities to control and use
for mans welfare the instruments
science has placed in our hands.

Amnesty for Nozis

It requires more than reading
of the headlines to appreciate the
full significance of the Christmas
eve grant of amnesty to more than
10000 small-fry Nazis in the Amerl-
can zone of Germany. Although
the timing of the pronouncement
undoubtedly was designed to make
the most of any moral effect OF the
action, General Joseph T. Nc
Narney's public address in Frankfurt
left no doubt as to the determina-
ton of the American Military Gov
ernnlent to bring to justice every
major Nazi conspirator. The step
signifies not a relaxation of the
denazihcation program but rather a
realistic means of intensifying that
process.
The truth OF the matter is that
the whole prosecution program was
in danger of begging down under the,
sheer weight of the task of trying
the 100000 Nazis, large and small,
who have been found to be charge
able as offenders against the peace
of the German people. The process
had been making SO little headway
that our occupation authorities
faced the alternatives of reducing
the size of the job to more practical
proportions or taking over the pro-
secution task from the German ad-
ministration. The amnesty plan
was chosen as the more desirable
remedy.
With the number awaiting trial
thus reduced to little over 1000 900,
