and two Senators be named, re-
spectively, by the Speaker of the
House and the presiding officer OF
the Senate.
Proposals Laid Aside.
For the time being, at least, the
group also has laid aside proposals
for permitting absentee voting by
District residents-a vote by mail
by qualified District residents away
from the city on election day.
The need of absentee voting, the
group decided, had been reduced
by another change it has adopted,
to change the timing of the initial
elections here. They would be ad-
vanced from November, 1948, to
March 4, 1949. Thus the first Dis
trict council election would ont be
held oh the same day as the next
national election, when thousands
Of District residents would be going
back home" to vote for State and
national candidates. After the first
District election they would be held
in odd-numbered years. missing
conflict with even-numbered year
elections of State and national
officers. 50
In keeping with this first-election
time change, the Auchincloss plan
also would have members of the
council take Office April IS, 1949,
instead OF January, 1949.
Other Changes Listed.
Other changes approved by the
subcommittee would:
Provide for run-of elections as a
part Of the permanent plan for any
contest in which a candidate failed
to achieve a majority vote. This
would rule out any election by
plurality vote. In case none of the
candidates for q designated post
won a majority vote, the two hav-
ing the highest votes would be sub
ject to a run-off election.
Increase the pay of councilmen
from a fiat $4,000 a year to $4,000

MoIotov Stands Firm
In Asking 10 Billion in
German Reparations
BY the As,oeioied Pre.s

LONDON, Dec. GA frustrat-
ed, irritated Council of Foreign
Ministers tonight appeared
deadlocked on the same Soviet
demand that wrecked the Mos
cow conference - $4,000, 900 900
In reparations from Germany.
In fruitless two-hour session
today, official observers reported the
three western ministers lined up
against Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov in an argument over eco
nomic principles for Germany that
wrung from French Foreign Minis
ter Bidault the comment. I'VE seem
to be going around in circles-a
process which tends to make one
sick"
In three general papers submitted
by Mr.. Molotov, however, it was
made clear that before agreeing to
any basic economic principles for a
peace treaty, the Soviet Union would
demand fulfllment of her repara-
tions claim.
Viewed as Impossible.
These reparations claims have
been bluntly refused by Britain and
America on the grounds that desti-
tute Germany cannot pay them and
any such payments could only come
from American and British taxpay-
erS in the long run.
Furthermore, since the Moscow
Conference the United States and
Britain have established a level of
industry for Western Germany
which allows ne reparations from
current production and told the Ger
man people there would be no fur
ther reparations claims, after re-
moval of specified factories.
Thus the Soviet demand-in west
ern eyes-is completely impossible
of fulfillment.
Mr.. Molotov, in qualifying clauses
to his three proposals, made pay
ment OF reparations a prerequisite
to any Soviet agreement to estab-
lishment of central German agen-
cies, level Of German industry and
removal of zonal restrictions.
Would Abolish Zones.
For example, his proposal of zonal
boundaries read:
With the institution of central
German departments and the lay
ing down of procedure for fulfill
ment by Germany of her reparationS
obligations and other main obliga-
tions, international economic bar
riers shall be abolished and condi-
tlons necessary for the free flow of
goods throughout Germany shall be
established.
"All Zonal German economic or
gans embracing one or more zones
shall also be abolished"
The second paragraph condition,
if accepted by the West, would wipe
out all government controls the
Western powers have set up in their
zones.
In reference to other documents
put in at Moscow Mr.. Molotov made
it clear the Soviet reparations claim
remains at $4,000, 100000.
No Healing of Split.
This afternoons futile session
was indicative of the East West
split which has shown no sign of
healing during the conference. The
ministers never came down to dis
cussing any subject on the agenda.
Gen. Marshall, Mr.. Bidault and
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
wanted to use comprehensive ,
British paper submitted at Moscow
dealing with the entire economic
situation in Germany as a basis Of
discussion"
Mr.. Molotov refused.
The next two hours were spent
Wrangling on this point.

Post Office
Here Explained
By Rep. J.B.(|ark

The status of the post office
situation herewas explained in de-
tail by Representative j. Bayard
Clark in letter to the Tabor City
Merchants Association this week
The Tabor City post office has
attained the standard required for
a new building. but congressional
appropriations and the order of
the attainment of the rating en-
ter into the picture. according to
Mr.. Clark.
Willard G. Cole. executive sec
Rotary of the Merchants AsSoci-
alton. in releasing contents of
the letter for publication. said the
situation approximated that of
prospective purchasers of new
automobiles. They are on the
dealers list in order in which they
applied and obtain the automo-
bileS as the cars become available,
ne pointed out.
Only in this case" Mr.. Cole
added. we are not only faced with
the list that is ahead OF us hut
with the possibility that little
money will be appropriated for
post office construction.
The letter from Representative
Clark follows:
No funds have been appropri-
ated for ii post office in Tabor
City. The post office department
has made a report that your good
city. along with several others in
our district. have been doing
enough business 10 justify their
being considered for buildings,
There is u certain standard in
matters of this kind that has to
be reached. 1t is based upon the
amount of business done. But
this does not at all mean that it
will be possible for them to get
buildings right away. 1t Will b"
over very long range program
with places receiving attention in
the order in which they reach
this standard. and will at last de-
pend upon how much money Con-
ercss will appropriate from year
to yea" for the purpose Of building
post offices. The prospects along
this line right now are none too
good. as Congress seems to be
dealing with the question of re-
ducing taxes an at the same time
balancing the budget. If that is
done. there VIII not be much
loom for new expenditures.
a. You may rest assured that
the legislative angle of this qucs-
ton will be properly taken care
Of"
Mr.. Cole said the letter was in
answer to an inquiry to clarity the
situation because previous public
itv may have raised the eXpecta-
tiers of the community when
there was nothing practical or
substantial to base these eXpecta-
lions upon.
