Danish Force 10 Join
British Occupation
OF German Zone
BY the Associoted Press

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Germany, Mar. 27-When
q Danish army formation completes
Its move into the British zone Of
Germany in May, Britain's occupa-
ton duties will be shared by three
other European nations.
A Belgian corps has been In the
zone since last autumn, a Nor
wegian brigade has just completed
its move into the Harz Mountains
area. With the Danish Brigade
group, the British Army of the
Rhine will have under its COM
mand Allied troops approximately
equivalent to three divisions.
British staff officers gave this
description of the locations of the
Allied forces:
The 1st Belgian Corps, command
ed by Maj. Gen. j. D. Tiron, oc-
cupies an area on the Belgian bor-
der 80 miles wide north to south
on an east-West axis through
Aachen.
The Norwegian Brigade, which
includes infantry, armored units
and artillery, is in the Harz Noun
tai1s near the border of the British
and Russian zones. The country
there is very like that of the bri-
gade's native Norway and most
suitable for the training the troops
require.
The Danish Brigade, also of all
arms, including the Royal Hussars,
will be stationed in the Aurich
Peninsula, on the northwest coast
of Germany. Their commander,
Gen. H. Aallerup, recently completed
his reconnaissance of the area and
has returned to report to the Danish
ministry Of war prior to leading his
troops into Germany.
A Polish armored division also Is
carrying out an occupation role in
the area north Of Osnabruck. This
division arrived with the invading
21st Army Group, however. so does
not come in the same category as
the troops sent voluntarily by Bel
gium, Norway and Denmark.
A British staff officer said the
Polish division was being allowed to
rundown" as troops were being
demobilized into the resettlement
corps in Britain. No replacements
are being sent and the division
eventually will be disbanded. The
division is under British command
the officer explained, and never has
had any connection with Gen.
Anders, former Polish commander
in Italy and now responsible for
the Polish Resettlement Corps.

Time For Long, Range Planning
(By Jack Bell)

WASHINGTON, R) - Senator Vandenberg R.-Mich) served friendly notice on the Administra- ton Saturday that the time has come for Republican and Demo- cratic leaders to size up together the long-range job of setting the worlds economy to rights.
 The United States, he said, can not go on trying the meet "unan- ticipated crises" one by one.
 The chairman of the foreign re- lations comm..tce said :here should be an advisory council of top men from both parties 10 take balance sheet of the worlds needs and the ability of this coun- try's taxpayers to meet them.
 In statement beamed for con- sumption abroad as well as at home, Vandenberg Friday night cautioned "our foreign friends" not to depend upon us as a sub  stitute for depending upon them selves"
 He demanded "a sound overall inventory of our own resources to determine the latitude within which we may consider these for eign needs"
 "If America ever sags," he said, "the worlds hopes sag with her" His proposal won prompt sup port from both leading Democrats and Republicans in Congress, all though chairman Taft tOhio) of the Senate Republican policy committee was, perhaps signifi- cantly, silent.
 Declining comment on the Van denberg statement, Taft told re- porters that the Senate-House eco- homie committee which he heads plans to make its own full-scale inquiry into the effect of possible foreign aid programs on the do- mestic economy, starting June B.
