France Asks For German Separation

MOSCOW, R)-Foreign minis ter Georges Bidault, renewing Frances demands for separation of the Ruhr, the Rhineland and the Saar from Germany, told the for eign ministers council today that allied controls must be retained over Germany long after a peace settlement is concluded and the present occupation is ended.
 Bi6ault who conferred last night with Prime Minister Stalin, laid down the basic French policy on the defeated enemy, calling primarily for rigid limitations of the coal and steel industries. He suggested that France replace Ger many as the great steel-producing nation of Europe.
 Bidault withheld Frances agree ment to American, British and Soviet proposals for raising the level of German industry. He said the French view depended upon what other controls were set up. He rejected outright the American sponsored plan to set up central administrative agencies run by the Germans pending decisions on Germany'S frontiers. He evidently meant that decisions on the Ruhr. the Rhineland and the Saar must be reached first.
 The French minister said econo- mic unity in Germany could be achieved with French approval prior to fixing the frontier, by ere ating administrative agencies run by the Allied powers for such mat ters as transport, communication and trade
 He called for a speed-up in rep arations from the western zone, thus siding with demands made by Soviet foreign minister Molotov. At the same time, however, he de- clared that in line with the British

WILL ROBESON CHANGE ROLE?

Detroit-For sometime now Paul Robeson has been mani festing more and more interest in the political manifestations of the country. And therefore his announcement here the oth- CT night that he might shortly abandon his singing and stage career for active participation in politics did not come as a total surprise.
 The occasion was a recital he gave before an audience of $500 people at the Masonic Audi torium, where he was also awarded a scroll by the Youth Council of Detroit for his out standing efforts in behalf of minorities.
 After the concert and the re- ceipt of the award, MT. Robe son said, "You in Michigan will have a lot to answer for with the pattern of fascism all about you. This concert may be a valedictory because I am re- turning to political activity. I shall come back to Detroit but perhaps not as singer or actor. '

which I can visualize clearly, rest

That vicinity furnishes many
things from apples to polo ponies,

Last fall there were 100 houses
standing unfinished in Yakima for
lack of plaster. Many of the houses
were unlivable, but with winter
weather coming on end the housing
shortage getting worse every day,
some people tried to move into
their uncompleted homes.
Yakima's mayor, M. K. Buck,
knew that 200 low-cost homes (under
s., 000 were needed for veterans
as well as 1000 higher-priced houses.
He consulted contractors, plaster
sub-contractors, the plasterers'
union, veterans organizations and
press and radio; gave them the
facts; asked their help.
Sub-contractors agreed to move
crews from commercial construc-
ton to the unfinished homes. They
also agreed to transfer stocks of
plaster being held for commercial
building to veterans housing. The

home unpleasant, and are interest

ends, there is an outline of the
situation, and I leave you to imagine
the endless and humiliating de-
tails"
One of the times that try wom-
ems souls, Georgia. But a soul that
comes through so fiery a furnace is
one that the world is going to need,
in the time to come. The heart
breaking problem of your baby son
will not last many years. Either
he must be placed in an institu-
ton, or he will slip away to the
peace and dignity of death. Nor
will your mother always be with
you. The years seem long now,
but they will be very short to look
back to, when you and your son are
free to make a new life.
Rise Above Troubles.
Try to rise daily to a new level
of strength and self-control. Don't
attempt to reason about your hus-
bands extraordinary attitude. You
are not the only wife to be Devil
dered by the man who came back
unacceptable from the war. Put
him and his sister and his sweet
heart outside your thoughts; treat
them as shadows, that is all they
are. When your own problems are
solved will be time enough to deal
with them. What concerns you is
your own character and soul, and
what they are to gain from these
terrible days. You can sink under
all this, of course, and become a
nervous, broken woman with an
eternal grievance.
Or you can rise to each days
needs with silence and courage and
make your mothers last months or
years happier than you ever
dreamed. For if she sees you cheer
full, absorbed and busy, really SEEM
ing to enjoy the hard exactions of
your days; if she realizes that you
have accepted the completely unac-
ceptable, in your child's affliction,
and are enduring the absolutely un-
endurable in your husbands unjust
treatment, she is quite wise enough
to know that you will emerge from
this a strong woman, capable Of
leading and helping other women,
wise through long hours of coura-
geous prayer and service.
Take this as an apprenticeship,
Georgia. Serve your time. Your
letter tells me that you can weather
the storm and look for far happier
times ahead.

Fox" He broke British lines Of
communication, captured British

prevented the Loyalists from or

Whenever he was hard pressed

which would meet FILA standards
and still be sold for less than 5000.
A large order in these days Of high
prices, but the committee turned up
a practical plan. -Four local CON
tractors were interested and con-
struction got under way. The local
government housing expediter
helped by organizing "swap shop"
where builders could find out who
had some extra hardwood flooring,
plaster or plumbing fixtures.
The Yakima contractor who COM
pleted the first Of these new low-cost
houses says he couldn't have built
the house for the price II he hadn't
mad plenty OF cooperation from ev-
erybody in the building industry.
He saved money by using straight
walls instead Of offsets, and he sim
pIfied the cabinet work. But the
most important thing was the CO.
operation he got from the unions who
saw that he had the right men at
the right time to do the jobs when
they needed to be done. The con-
tractor paid union wages to his
workmen, bought his materials from
regular dealers, made a fair profit
for himseh-and was still able to
sell the house for $4,750.
The veteran who moved into the
first house was Walter Colgan,
former army sergeant, and his wife,
Mildred, who served In the WAC.
They're very proud Of their new FIVE
room, two-bedroom product Of
American ingenuity and coopera-
