Military May Continue
Separate Recruiting

There is little likelihood that the
separate recruiting efforts Of the
Armed Services will be discontinued
even through Defense Secretary
Forrestal has ordered a survey on
the advisability Of joint recruiting,
it was learned today.
There is likely to be joint use
of medical facilities In commun-
tiles where Army and Navy ply
sicians and dentists can handle
examinations for all services, and
survey will be made on space to
determine whether Government
Offices can be substituted in many
! places.
But the services, already finding
it increasingly hard to obtain enough
enlistments to fill the ranks, will
continue to compete for recruits.
ITO merge all recruiting would be
like having all insurance statesmen
work for one company or having
one newspaperman work for all the
papers in Washington on a given
news rum" an assistant to Mr.. Fore
stal commented. You just wouldn't t
get the results that are necessary.
THE amount that could be saved
by combining all, the recruiting
would be more than Offset by the
poor results certain to be obtained"
During November, the Army and
Air Force recruited 18,029 men, of
whom 8,053 went into the Army.
This was the lowest monthly en-
listment figure for the two services
since VI day.

Reds Told u. 5. Plans
Failed at Biq 4 Talks
BY the Asseeioisd Press

MOSCOW, Dec. 18.-The Russian
people were told by Pravda today
that the four power Council of For
eign Ministers in London did not
fail, but rather 1t was the plans of
the American State Department
that failed.
A Tass dispatch from London
published in the Communist Or
gan said, There is no doubt but
that the State Department contem-
plated using the London session to
cloak the American policy of es-
tablishing an imperialistic peace
with the authority of the Council of
Foreign Ministers and the colonial
policy of the occupational authori-
ties"
Pravda said that when Secretary
OF State Marshall found out that
there was no chance of using the
council for this purpose he applied
aggressive tactics to hamper the
conference"
The dispatch asserted that the
"bourgeois" press distorted the real
state of affairs.

$500, 100000 Seen
As u. 5. Occupation
Cost in German 5etup
BY the Associoied Press

Undersecretary of the Army Will
liam Draper today estimated the
United States will spend around ST.
200 600, 900 in occupying Germany for
IA months.
Mr.. Draper made this estimate at
a news conference in explaining how
the new financial agreements with
the British on German occupation
expenses will increase American dol
lar contributions.
Under the accord, the United
States agrees to take over about
$400, ,000,0 600 of Britains occupation
expense for the 14-month period be-
ginning last November /.
In exchange, Britain surrenders to
the United States a dominant voice
in deciding the policies of two key
British american economic agencies
in the combined zones.
Congress Must Vote Funds.
To carry out the agreement, the
State Department must go to Con-
gress for funds, with the possibility
the amount asked might encounter
opposition there.
The text of the agreement, signed
yesterday after 10 weeks of discus
sion, was made public at the news
conference attended by Mr.. Draper,
Assistant Secretary of State Willard
Thorp and Sir William Strang, top
British negotiator.
Mr.. Draper said he estimates the
United States will have to pay about
$700, 100000 to $500, 900 900 for food
imports into Germany and from
$500, 100000 to $500 900, 900 for Amer
lean occupation troops and to meet
other expenses.
Mr.. Thorp, who led the Ameri-
can conferees, told reporter this
means the United States will pay
for go per cent of the essential sup
plies imported into Germany.
Britain to Pay 10 Per Cent.
Instead of paying for so per cent
as it did previously, Britain must
pay for only 10 per cent of these
imports under the new agreement.
Mr.. Thorp said, however, Britain's S
total contributions will average Is
per cent Of expenses in maintaining
occupation troops are taken into
account.
Mr.. Thorp insisted the new ar
rangement "does not change the
fundamental partnership with the
British in Germany. ~'e.s 81,
Despite the added economic con-
troll by the United States, Mr.. Ihorp
said:
I'VE feel it very important that
the British as full partners"
Among Britain's new obligations
is the promise to pay for $22 zoo, 600
in fish required by the Germans

For the first time in years music
lovers of Wilmington will be able
to see three grand opera perform
ances when the New York Civic
Opera company, with their origi-
nal cast, will give the entire per-
formances of "Traviata" at 2:30
o'clock today for students only,
"Rigoletto" at $50 2. m. tonight
and Carmen" Sunday at the New
Hanover High school under the
sponsorship of the Wilmington
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
These three operas were selected
from the elaborate repertoire of
the New York Civic Opera COM
pany because of their outstanding
appeal to opera goers the world
over, and also because they give
a varied production scope in the
field of musical classics.
Verdi's ~"Rigoletto", especially
appealing to students, is the great
masters most pronounced work;
while Bizet's Carmen, a favor
lite in music circles, offers its lis
teners the work of this remarkable
composer at his very best. In this
way the sponsors feel that the
most demanding will find music
to their liking. Carmen" will be
sung in French with "R%igoletto''
rendered in Italian. This also en-
HANGED the attractions in giving
the patrons their choice in Ian

WE, THE WOMEN
WHY Not Let Kids Divorce Their Parents?

that the moment they decide they
aren't they are justified in going
their separate ways.
Why shouldn't kids have the
same right? Certainly they mus.
often feel that they and their par
ents r incompatible, and that
they themselves occasionally suf-
fer from mental cruelty, loss of
dignity, etc.
When things like that happen
to grown-ups, they run to
Reno. The 9-year-old who tried
the same thing evidently has a
logical mind which reasoned
something like this: =,
1t men and women can get by
with that kind of spoiled-brat be-
havior, why can't the kids? After
all, why should people expect kids
to put up with incompatible par
ents, when the parents so often
won't put up with a little incom-
patlblllty for the sake of the kids?
