Dual-T urbine Locomotive

In new type of locomotive de-
veloped in this country, the power
for forward motion is supplied by
a 5000 horsepower steam turbine
through a set of nonshiftable
gears, says Golfers. Therefore,
the locomotive has a second tur-
bine of 1900 horsepower equipped
with gears that are moved into op-
Grating position when it is nee

Political INT

The draft law, which blew 10,022,-
367 men into uniform, is to expire
quietly like a peaceful zephyr.
The Selective Service Act was
passed originally by Congress on Sep
TENDER IS, 1910. Two months later the
Army and Navy received the first
trickle of what was to become a war
time torrent of American manpower
After VI Day, however, extension Of
the draft act was viewed by Congress-
men as political TINT.
1t was only after a bitter fight last
year that Congress voted continuance
to March 81. II doing SO, it raised the
pay scale, upped minimum age re-
quirements to 10, although still requir-
ing 18-year-olds to register.
Now 1t the Presidents request, the
Republican-controlled House and Sen
ate are only too happy to let the draft
law die.
Army Cuts
simultaneously with the Presidents
request, the Army announced it would
discharge it's remaining 100000 draft
ees-those in the country by May Is,
those overseas by June 30-making it

Wives
Coming Home

SS''h'iS iiSIiI0
The U. S. Army of Occupation in
Germany, cramped by severe housing
shortages, soon may send home hun
dreds of soldiers and their wives about
to have first babies.
The plan, still subject to final ap-
proval in Washington, is necessary,
Army medicoes say, because there
simply aren't enough family quarters
in the Reich.
Under it, return tickets to the U. S.
will be handed to all personnel in
Germany-oficers, enlisted men and
civilian War Department employees
with newly pregnant wives.
The only exceptions will be in cases
where soldiers have two or more years
of enlistment still to serve and pro-
vide assurance that they will remain
abroad for that period.
Dozens of married War Department
women who have become pregnant
in the last few weeks already are
being told they must return to this
country before their sixth month of
pregnancy.
MANY VI THESE women, lne Army
says, are living with their husbands
in one and two-roon1 billets because
they can't get family quarters.
In any event, the Army will not
force women to go home if they are
more than six months pregnant.
A mother, ii she prefers, will be per-
mitted to stay in Germany until after
the baby is born. Authorities will not
ship them home until after the infant
is at least three months old and then
only by hospital ship.

Although the Allies in Berlin have

Poor Hirohito

The Japanese government, reorgan-
lied under occupation rule of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, has placed the
imperial family on the public payroll
for the first time in history. 1t is quite
a comedoWn for Hirohito and the
palace guard.
The imperial family will have to get

change). The new budget, as presented
to the Diet, allots an additional Is
million yen ($1, ZOO, 000) to the i'm
perial household ministry.
The emperor's extensive stock, bond
and land holdings have been turned
over to the state and proceeds will go
into the national treasury. Formerly
these assets brought the imperial fam
lily an income which japanese esti-
mated as "many tens of millions" of
yen. No one knew precisely how much.
In the old halcyon war lord days,
the imperial purse was barred from
public scrutiny and the court spent-its
money as it wished.
The government budget totals 114,-
500, 900, 900 yen. For the first time in
history, the budget is supposed tobe
complete in that it contains all con-
templated expenditures in n docu-
ment. In the past, several special budg-

MOSCOW: Showdown Among The Bio Four

MOSCOW, the 800-year-o old
1Vl capital of all the Russias, is
in a gay, festive mood on the eve
of the Big Four foreign ministers
conference. Despite pessimism in
other world capitals about pros
poets of arriving at agreements over
the future of Germany and Austria,
there is no gloom in Russia.
Russian newspapers, following Gus
tom, are not writing much about the
climactic parley which opens tomor-
row. The Russian way is to print news
when it happens, not before. There
have been plenty of stories on the
German question but practically moth
ing about the conference or specula-
ton about its difficulties.
U. S. Secretary of State George c..
Marshall, facing his first meeting with
the Big Four diplomats, is to stay at
Spasso House, the home of U. S. Am
bassador W. Bedell Smith. Marshall
sleeps in the same room used by for
mer Secretaries Cordell Hull, Edward
R. Stettinius and James F. Byrnes.
While the American delegation
hopes the climactic meeting will pro-
duce a real working agreement among
the Big Four to make vanquished
Germany unified and productive but
harmless for generations, there is no
certainty among them it can be done.
Grave Speculation
There is grave speculation in diplo-
matte quarters as to whether a Ger
man settlement actually will be based
On peacemaking for the last war or
on preparedness for the next one.
Patiently, discussion of the German
future cannot be separated from the
broader problem of relations between
east and west, which are about as far
apart as any time since the wars
end.
That Marshall will deal firmly and
realistically with Soviet Foreign Min
lister Vyacheslav M. Molotov seems a
certainty. That is the significance of
his decision to bring along John Fos-
ter Dulles as Republican adviser and
of his support for Undersecretary
Dean Acheson's charge that Russia
follows IAN aggressive and expan-
sionist' policy.
Acheson's statement (before a SEN
ate investigating committee) has be-
come indirectly the basis of official
policy preliminary to the Moscow
meeting and means that American
officials frankly expect the Russians
to maneuver for control or DONNA
ton OF Germany along with as much
else of Europe and the world as they
can get and that this country intends
to try and block them at every turn.
One of the greatest points of con-
flct between Russian and American
views is that the U. S. holds the Allied
powers must soon wind up repara-
tons demands on Germany and decide
what industrial production should be
allowed. The Russians demand that
Germany continue Preparations out of
current production for many years.

Differences between east and west
have been most evident in Berlin.

produced no real progress on four
