By CHARLES ARNOT

Bad OyenhauSen, Germany, June
 16-(UP)-If the British are main
 taining a secret Germany army ir their occupation zone of Germany It's headquarters must be in Sham gri La.
 This correspondent traversed the zone up and down, back and forth for thousands of miles and all the evidence which could be uncovered supports the belief that the Wehrm- acht, the LuftWaffe and the Ger man Navy have been smashed in the British zone just as completely as anywhere else in Germany.
 While there is every indication that the Germany armed forces have been smashed, there was evil dence of a condition which many British officers said they do not regard as healthy and which may have given rise to the charges.
 Many Still Wear Uniforms
 This is the fact that British oc- cupation authorities still retain 325 labor service units containing more than 1O7 900 former German fight ing men who are forbidden to drill or bear arms but who still salute and cal themselves soldiers"
 There are also, as British off, cers frankly say, too many Ger mans in uniforms still on the streets. They no longer wear rank or insignia but the field gray is a reminder of Adolph Hitler and NaziSn.
 However, combing the British zone from Schleswig to the Ruhr, this correspondent could find not even remnants of anything which might be called an operational German fighting force.
 So completely have the German forces been dismantled and their weapons destroyed that competent military authorities estimated that 1t would take to 10 years for the Germans to put even a skeleton fighting force into the field

UN Council NeorAction On Franco
 Russla Vigorously
 Opposes Passlng
 ISeue To Assembly,

New York, June l8-(UP)-The United Nations Security Council neared action today on a majority backed plan for measures against Franco Spain which are too far reaching in the British view and not nearly strong enough to suit Russia.
 Nine Council members, including the United States, are ready to vote for a compromise formula asking the LIN General Assembly to take appropriate stepS-including as one possibility mass diplomatic break with Spain-if Franco is still in power by September.
 The Council meets at 3 P. M. OEDT) today, and delegates hoped they could finally dispose of the long pending Spanish question.
 Russia Opposes Passing Buck
 A Council subcommittee headed by Australia originally proposed a diplomatic blockade of Spain, but said the General Assembly rather than the Council was the proper body to invoke 1t. On American insistence, the proposal was modi- ned to give the Assembly greater leeway and avoid committing the United States and other council members to an open break with Franco.
 Russia vigorously opposes passing the issue on to the Assembly and maintains that the Council itself should initiate a diplomatic quar- antine of Spain Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko has not indicat- ed, however, whether he would block the compromise plan by using his veto power.
 British Delegate Sir Alexander Cadogan told the Council yesterday that 1t might be illegally interfering In Spain's internal affairs if it made any recommendations for specific action against the Franco regime. He moved that the sub- committees report be amended to eliminate all such recommenda- tions.
 May Not Use Veto
 Australia, France and Mexico promptly opposed the British amendment, and there were indi- cations Cadogan might not back up his objections to the subcommittee proposals by using his veto.
 U. s. Delegate Herschel V. John- son was scheduled as the first speaker at today's Council session, and was expected to stand by the compromise plan on diplomatic sanctions that he worked out with Australian Foreign Minister Her bert V. Evatt and other members Of the Spanish Investigating Sub- committee.
 Evatt yesterday appealed directly to Russia not to veto the compro- | mise just because the Soviet Union wants more direct and immediate action against Spain. He said the veto should be invoked by the biz powers only lin the rarest type of ,ase," and asserted that lone dis 'enters should not brush aside the views of the majority"

of bad memories, I'm glad I can
limit my reflections. Davis,

and a few of the gals-can have
the political, social and other as

seeming an "escapist" I'll stick
to the sharps and flats.
BUT WHY all the prelimin-
aries? You know what comes

william failure" and complains
that she has given him 'the best
years of her life"
THESE three veterans, repre-
sentatives of three economic le-
wells of American life, are scared
by the notion that everyone
wants to rehabilitate U.S." Eager
to return to their families and to
take place in civilian life, they
are bewildered by the changes in
which they have had no physical
part. Like Housman's "ShrOp-
shire Lad, each feels himself to
be "a stranger and afraid, in a
world I never made"
THEIR INABILITY to under
stand the home front repercus-
sion of their own actions and ex-
periences is responsible for much
of their confusion. Those who
realize that the military opera
ton of the war could only have
brought about a profound re-
alignment of forces deepen

if not an easier, process.
Much = very much = remains
to be said about this movie, its
omissions as well as its inclu-
sions. The content is broad and
deep, simple in concept, immense
and highly complex in execution.

West Years Of Our Lives
excellent story acting

Its three-hOur extent Is all too
brief; its sweeping panorama,
though concerned with many
postwar problems, fails to touch
on the vital questions Of labor or
race relations.
The skill and artistry of pro-
duction leave one gasping. Stud
ded with stars: Friedrich March,
Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright,
Virginia Mayo, Myrna 10y, Hoa-
gy Carmichael, newcomer Cathy
O'Donnell and disabled vet Har-
rold Russell - the roles are
played in the manner of an ex-
cellent stock company, with no
one Starred and all roles equal
ly important to the whole produc-
ton. The script by Robert Sher-
wood based on novel by Mac
Kinlay Kantor; the photography
by Gregg Toland; the direction
by William Wyler; the production
by Sam Goldwyn; the music, the
sets, ETC., are all a part of an
unpretentious and harmonious
whole.
THE IMPLICATIONS of this
movie for the future of the
American motion picture are vast
in scope. It's maturity, intelli-
gence and honesty constitute a
rare experience in the American
cinema and augur well for the
future. ~Ha @
ITS THEMATIC material
should help us all to realize that,
now the war is won, the road to
peace lies ahead and it is not
likely to be "roses. roses, all the
way and never sprig of yew."

1T Is quite impossible to do
Justice to this great film In a
brief column, for it cannot be
reviewed any more than the lives
of people one has known ano
loved can be reviewed.
FOR THIS honest and distin-
guished film is simply the record
of the Homecoming experiences
of three veterans. There is AL,
a bank vice.president, restless
and shy with the wife he has
loved for twenty years, disturbed
by a job which requires him TO

both hands when his ship was
sunk, wants only to be treated

Air Forces with "a chest full of
