Sec retary of State Byrnes, at Stutt- gart Sept. 6, advocated speedy es- tablishment of a democratic provi- sional government for Germany and gave notice that Germany's eastern borders had not been final ly determined.
 Churchill made no reference, however, to the American foreign policy controversy arising from Sec retary of Commerce Wallace'S re- cent speech and letter to President Truman on Russia.

 After citing Germany's crimes Churchill said:
 The guilty must be punished. Germany must be deprived of the power to re-arm and make another aggressive war But when all this has been done and it will be done, as it is being done, then there must pc an end to retribution."
 Churchill called for a federal government for Germany, saying the ancient states and principali- ties Of Germany, newly joined to- gether into a federal system might take their individual place among the United States of Europe
 Declaring that we dwell strange ly and precariously under the shield and protection of the atomic bomb, , Britains wartime Prime Minister said Europe needed a regional or ganization within the United Ma tions.

 An arbitration award by James L. Fly in the case of the CIO National Maritime Union today placed NMU seamen and others on parity with AFL ship personnel and provided what Fly described as an adequate basis for the immediate resumption of all shipping actiy- tiles
 Declaring West Coast workers were not directly affected by the decision, Fly said, this award af- fleets the West Coast in that it af- lords a basis for a back-to- work movement on the West Coast.
 Fly's award was on collateral is- sues of a June IA agreement which averted nationwide CIO mari time strike then. Operators and the union had agreed to accept his rul- ing,
 Salary increases chiefly of from $5 to $l0 month are provided by the award The present wage scale for the NMU seamen affected is $17250 a month
 Roquestg Back To Work
 Fly said. as he announced the award in New York City, that he was requesting all seagoing person. mel to return to work immediately and asserted there was no longer a cause for the paralysis of shipping on all coasts. He said he would ask all ship operators, particularly those on the West Coast, to rein state all men on strike.
 Also involved in the hearings be- fore Fly. which were concluded on Friday, were the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards Union and the Inde- pendent Marine Bremen, Oilers, Wipers and Watertenders These with the NMU, struck at the end oi the AFL maritime stoppage de- manding wage parity with AFT mariners.
 Parity Basis
 With very few exceptions. the award places the men on parity with other unions Fly said Retro activity will be on the same basis as settlement of the Seafarers h. ternational Union (AFL) dispute. Where there still remain some in- equities on matters not completely adjusted, they can be settled by negotiation. These are so incidental there is no reason to prolong the strike"
 But Paul Palazzi. chairman of the NMU strike comr.ittee in New York, was quoted by another NMU spokesman as saying, the arbitra- or's award is not contract and until we have a signed contract the strike will continue" Earlier NMU President Joseph Curran had blamed mysterious forces in high government circles and the arbitrary attitude" of J B. Bryan, head of the Pacific American Shipowners Association, for delaying quick end of the strike.
