talking about a tightly centralized
German government.
Gen. Marshall laid down three
point plan of procedure for setting
up a German government.
First, he said, there should be
establishment of provisional Ger
man government composed of the
heads of the governments of the
now existing states and laender,
including Berlin, and clothed with
necessary powers to create and oper-
ate central administrative agen-
cies."
To this end, he said, the laender
(state) governments should be COM
pleted throughout Germany at an
early dateyg
Second. Gen. Marshall called for
"a drafting and acceptance OF a
constitution which shall be German
in origin and which shall be con-
sistent with democratic principles
and the decentralization of gov
eminent authority" All powers not
assigned the central government
would remain in the state govern
ments.
Third, Gen. Marshall said, there
should be the assumption OF the
governmental authority by the CEN
trail government created by the con-
stitution and by the state authorities
recognized by the constitution.
Il will submit a proposal embody-
ing these IDEAS" he said. Il feel
that the process outlined above
should be gotten under way at once,
so that there will be properly con-,
stituted German authorities which
can carry out the terms of the peace
settlement on which we are now
working"
In introducing his three-point
program, Gen. Marshall said 'the
time has now come to authorize the
Germans to establish provisional
government to deal with matters of
nationwide concern which the
states cannot adequately handle"
He said mo German government
can function unless the basic essen
tialS on which German economic
unity depends are agreed upon and
implemented by all four powers and
unless effective guarantees exist for
the safeguards of the fundamental
freedoms in all parts of Germany"
Mr.. Bevin in introducing his pro-
posal for a German government
warned that the Council of Foreign
Ministers does not want to see the
creation of a system which can be
dominated by one party or authority
the kind of thing, he said, that did
much to help Hitler to the top. He
declared that if the Council of For
eign Ministers col1ld agree on prin-
ciples of government, economic ar
rangements and the American-spo
sored four-power German disarma-
ment treaty, then thy should be able
to hold Germany in check until sat-

required to take it to the Police
Department for rgistration.
Known criminals would be caught
in the middle. If they didn't
register their firearms, they would
be subject to imprisonment for fail
ing to register. And If they did
register, the firearms would be taken
away from them and they would be
arrested for owning firearms. Men
convicted of crimes of violence can
not own firearms legally. ,u.,s.. 49,,

case, there might be q chance Of

The assistant corporation counsel
said he was sure that if the meas

citizens would want to register their
firearms as their part in the cam

Weekly Breokdowns
OF His Official Auto

Secretary of Labor Schwel-
lenbach is fed up with his off,
cial automobile, which breaks
down regularly.
II have never wasted so much
in my life as I have on this au-
tomobile. It breaks down once
a week." the Secretary declared
in testimony before a House
Appropriations subcommittee
made public today.
Another department official
estimated that the agency spent
between $500 and $1,000 last
year to keep Mr.. Schwellen-
bach's 1941 car going.

they would refuse to do SO unless
appointments satisfactory to them
were made.
Explaining it's action toward Mr..
Warren, the committee said in its
formal report:
Mr.. Warren admitted that he
has been a member Of the American
League for Peace and Democracy
and the Washington Bookshop and
attended meetings. Both Of these
are Communist-in-
spired fronts and have been so GER
titled by the Committee on Un-
American Activities.
Speech Is Cited.
"Mr. Warren contended that he
does not now have any radical be-
liefs. He admitted that in 1914 or
perhaps 1943 he made speech to
an interdepartmental group of Gov
ernment employees in which he held
to the philosophy that Government
employees should be entitled to the
right to strike. Mr.. Warren now
claims that he has changed his
mind on this subject.
"The committee is Of the belief
that no person with this background
should be. director of the United
States Cancellation Service"
The committee said it believes
that "the situation confronting our
Nation is too grave to permit en-
ployment in such an important
place of anyone whose background
may be subject to question"
During questioning by committee
Mr.. Warren said he
dropped his membership in those
organizations years ago vir-
tually at the time it became known
that there were Communists in
those organizations"
He Didn't Know at First.
eyes, indeed" he replied when
asked if he joined without any
knowledge that they were Commu-
mist organizations"
Il do want to assure you and the
members of the committee" he told
Mr.. Keefe, that I do not have any
radical beliefs and I believe that
my record with the Federal Govern
ment will bear that out"
The committee said Mr.. Warren
sought to build "a greatly enlarged
department here at Washington"
and employed high priced personnel
from the old War Labor Board to
replace SO conciliators in the field.
Some of the new appointments, the
committee said, were made without
regard to civil service regulations
and their pay was charged against
allotments for the field service, a.
though they worked in Washington.
This, the committee asserted, was

Berlin Appeals for Halt
To Plants DismontIing

BERLIN, Mar. 81 R.-Berlins city
assembly, pleading that the former
capital was in dire economic straits,
appealed to the Foreign Ministers S
Conference in Moscow today to pro-
hibit the dismantling of any more
essential industrial plants here.
This was the second appeal to the
Allies by the assembly within three
days. The first went to the Allied
Control Council, asking it to stop
dismantling of the Borsig works for
reparations. The large heavy ma
chinery plant is situated in the
French sector of the city.

cratic and peaceful nation.
The subject of Austria came ur
at the beginning of the meeting
when Gen. Mark w. Clark reported
for the foreign ministers deputies
on the progress they had made
toward drafting an Austrian treaty
The ministers agreed that the depu-
ties should turn in a complete re-
port on their work by March 20.
Gen. Marshall urged that each
minister consult his deputy to try
to break the deadlock on the prob
lem of German assets in Austria
Mr.. Molotov said he wanted more
time to think over the deputies

Britain's views on the government
structure for Germany were set
forth in a 600-word paper.
1t called for creation of a two
house legislature along the lines OF
the American Senate and House OF
Representatives, a president without
executive powers and strong state
rights.
Informants said the British plan
envisioned lower legislative cham
ber elected according to population
and an upper chamber elected on
the basis of fixed number of repre-
sentatives from each of the Laender
This central organization for Ger
many would have power over for
eign policy and such external mat
tiers as the export-import program,
while the states would retain most
of the executive rights.

pondents today that his long and
cordial talk. with Prime Minister
Stain Monday night involved dis
cussion of the differences between
Russia and France concerning Ger
many's future. a5s = so. p 50, ' 2 2
He informed French newsmen
at a special news conference that
Mr.. Stain had expressed Soviet
opposition to Frances !, insiStence
that the future German nation be
a loose federation rather than a
highly centralized state, as Russia
wants it to be.
Asked whether he had any plans
to see Mr.. Stain again, as has been
rumored here, Mr.. Bidault said he
had no such idea in mind, but that,
obviously, if invited to return to
the Kremlin he would certainly 60.
He is the only one of the three
visiting foreign ministers to see
Mr.. Stain thus far.
Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Bevin
have been here almost two weeks
now and there is no known evidence
to indicate that they have been
asked or have asked to see the
Soviet leader.
Meanwhile, British official
spokesman said British delegates
had advised the Soviet Foreign
Office they were prepared to discuss
revision of the 1912 Anglo-Russian
pact outside the regular Foreign
Ministers Council.
The British said this notification
was given Assistant Foreign Minis
ter Andrei Y. Vishinsky with a re-
quest that he advise as to the best
method of taking up the matter.
