French Foreign Minister George
Bidault. If this conference fails,
Bidault declared, France may
merge her zone with the
economically United American
and British occupation areas.
Both the American and British
delegations have stated re-
peatedly that no definite plans
exist for establishment Of a
Western German government.
Conference observers, however,
considered it strong possibility
that immediate steps would be
taken by the United States,
Britain and France to work out
u Western zone merger if this
Big Four meeting fails.
During today's session the
United States, Britain and Rus
zia agreed a German govern
ment should sign peace treaty,
and France reserved her posi-
ton on this question, briefing
officials told newsmen.
M0lotov Repeats
A subsequent clause proposed
by the United States touched off
u new blast by Molotov against
the Western countries along the
lines he has been following for
the past week, the informants
said.
U. S. Secretary of State Geor &c
c. Marshall proposed that the
German constitution contain g
clause recognizing treaty obliga
tions as the law of the land ano
that the German people ratify
this along with the constitution
He explained that the Ameri-
can constitution provides that
treaties are the law and said he
wanted to avoid the argument
which led to the overthrow Of
the Weimar Republic
This argument, used by Hitler
was that the German govern
ment had signed the Versatile
treaty ending World War
against the wishes of the Ger
man people The inforrnants
quoted Marshall IS saying that
m the present case the German
people would have 10 ratify the
peace treaty. Ultirn ately pre-
xented 10 them.

wanted to doff their pleated skirts
and play in their long, black

A compromise was worked out
during warm weather so that the
young Scouts could e long
coats to their playing field, ar
range huge canvas curtains
around the field, and then, safe
from prying eyes, could play in
the comfort of tn e athletic
boomers.
The time was ripe for the de-
velopment of Juliette Lows i'm
port, and soon troops of Girl
Scouts were springing up through
out the country. Today, the age
group has been stretched in both
directions, so that a quota of
Brownies, children from sever to
ten, and Senior Scouts, ove II,
are important parts Of the million
and one-quarter Girl Scouts who
at this moment are members Of
troops.
Bette Davic, the motion picture

proud of it. So was Dorothy La
mour. Young Mary Macarthur,
daughter of Helen Hayes, was a
bright star until recently of a
Nyack, N. Y. troop.
In connection with celebrating
their 35th birthday, the American
Girl Scouts are emphas sizing the
importance of international scout
ing, first with a world encamp-
ment'' at their Camp Barree in

countries have been invited as
well as girls from every state and
territory.

campaign to fill che Of their own
greatest needs - 10000 adults to

REFUGEES:

Having already generously provid-

war-stricken areas abroad, congress
moved to help the 1,037, 900 displaced
persons and refugees in Europe by
joining the United Nations Inter-
national Refugee organization.

by the senate and then sent to the
house, the U. S. would furnish IS mil

Before agreeing to passage Of the
measure, the senate insisted on in

would protect U. S. control of it's i'm
migration policies. Senator Rever-

SHIPPINC:
u. S. Future

The U. S. should develop a clear
cut maritime policy now to assure
continued mastery of the American
merchant marine, Pres. Harry Lun-
deberg of the ALL Seafarers Inter-
national union, declared at it's third
biennial convention in Chicago.
/. Declaring that the u. S. merchant
marine has dwindled to 80 million
tons from it's wartime peak of so
million, Lundeberg attributed the de-
cline to transfers Of American ships
to Panamanian registry, sales to for
eign governments and removal Of
vessels from service. If necessary,
the union is prepared to boycott
ships transferred to Panamanian
registry for operation under lower
wage and working standards, he
said.
Lundeberg also assailed continued
British and Russian use of Amer
lean ships obtained under lend-lease.

U.N.:
Celebrate With Veto

Andrei A. Gromyko, Russian del
egate to the United Nations security
council, celebrated the first ami
versary of the U. N. with veto
the 10th the Reds have employed
since the international organization
came into being to block action
against themselves or Soviet-spon-
sored puppets.
With the Polish delegate siding
with him, per custom, Gron1yko
welded the veto on a resolution
that would have charged Albania,
a Soviet. satellite, with part guilt for
the sinking. of British vessel by a
mine in Corfu channel last fall. Eff
feet Of the charge would have in
creased Albania's liability for dam
ages being sought by the British for
the mishap.
AS it was, the U. S., France,
China, Australia, Brazil, Colombia
and Belgium, which voted for the
resolution, watered down the origi-
nal British charge that Albania was
guilty of either laying the mine or
conniving in planting it. Instead,
they accused Albania of possessing
knowledge of the presence of the
mine and failure to clear the
channel.

BUILDING:
More Completions

Builders completed $4,000 new
permanent dwellings in January,
1947 - more than three times as
many as were completed in jan
uary Of last year, according to esti-
mates of the department of labor.
A steady improvement in the flow of
materials appears to be shortening
the time required for construction,
continuing to reduce the number Of
uncornpleted dwellings.
These figures do not include such
structures as converted dwellings,
trailers and temporary reuse &C.
comodations, regularly included by
the national housing agency in its
reports on the progress of the vet
Grams emergency housing program.
After seasonal declines in Novem-
Der and December, the number of
new permanent dwelling units
started in January rose to AZ, 100
an increase of 1,700 over the pre-
vious month. A large part of this
increase is accounted for by 1904
dwelling units started by the New
York City public housing authority.
On the other hand, expenditures
for new housing and the number of
workers employed on the site have
been dropping during the past four
months as the number of units
under construction has declined.
Employment on the site of new
residential construction fell to 1884,
600, a drop of $4,000 workers be-
tween December and January, and
expenditures dropped from 348 to
313 million dollars. However, jan
uary, 1947, employment was almost
double year ago and expenditures
were two and a quarter times as
much. -

MOSCOW:
Future Reich

At odds on most phases Of post
war politics, the U. S. and Russia
came to grips again in Moscow on
the future pattern of the German
government.
Boiled down, the differences
amounted to U. S. proposals for a
system Of strong state governments
working through an adequate GEN.
trail authority and Russian recon-
mendations for a strong central
government with the states subordi-
nate.
The U. S. proposals advanced by
Secretary of State Marshall are de-
signed to give the German people
closer check on their government
through the state level and diminish
the possibility Of a strong central
authority like the Nazi regime as
Stunning full, controlling power. In
this respect, the U. S. plans ernbod-
died American principles Of states
rights and state representation in
congress through the senate.
On the other hand, the Russian
proposals for strong controlling
central authority reflect the tradi-
tional old world concept Of govern
ment. U. S. authorities fear that it
would pave the way for another
totalitarian regime inasmuch as the
central authority would have all
powers inherent in it, with broad
discretion to parcel them out to the
states.

ATOM CONTROL:
Ne1v Plan

AS congressional conservatives con-
tinued their fight against appoint
ment of David E. Lilienthal as chair
man Of the national atomic energy
commission bills were introduced
for the creation Of a new board to
be headed by Secretary Of State
Marshall.
Under the plan introduced in the
senate by Senator Malone (Rep.,
New and five colleagues and in the
house by Representative Jenkins
(Rep., o., other members Of the
new board would include the Sec
retaries Of war and navy and two
persons named by President Tru-
man.
Conservatives seized upon the
critical international situation to at
tempt to sidetrack Lilientha1, former
IVA chairman who has been ac-
cused of countenancing the presence
of Communists in the power agency.
In proposing establishment Of the
new board to govern all phases Of
domestic atomic production, Repub-
licans, joined by southern Demo-
Gratis, declared that the Creek Turk
ish crisis indicated the need for close
political and military control over
nuclear energy for national security.

DISASTER:

Charges and counter charges flew
thick and fast in the wake of the dis
astrous mine explosion at Wamac,
ILL.,, which claimed the lives Of over
100 coal miners.
AS repeated warnings of state and
federal inspectors about hazardous
conditions in the mine were barred,
Gov. Dwight Fl. Green's state ad-
ministration was accused of lax
ity in enforcing safety regulations
and the federal mines adninistra-

MINERALS:
Heavy Drain

The enormous drain on United
States ore sources during the war
period has left the country short Of
% Of the 33 essential materials for
waging war, experts warn. Seven
of the % scarce minerals can be
supplied in part by Canada and
Mexico.
Seven other minerals that must
be imported, If we are to have ade-
quate stock-piles, are copper, mer-
curry, cadmium, bauxite, quartz
crystals. fourspar and flake graph
tie.
Asia and Africa must supply the
remaining eight essentials. These
are vanadium, antimony. tungsten,
manganese, chromite, tin, gold and
industrial diamonds. In case of war
these sources might suddenly be cut
off, it was pointed out.
Representative Shafer of Michi-
gan, member of the armed services
committee, commented, "Our short
supply of strategic raw materials
makes it vital for our foreign trade
negotiators to explore all possibili-
ties Of our getting the needed items
in return for any credits or recip-
rocal trade advantages"
