Germany
Continued From First Page.)

Germany has to make this state
ment in order that the actual situa-
ton in Germany will be known to
the coming meeting of the Foreign
Ministers"
Although there was an under
standing that a four-poWer COM
munique reporting yesterdays meet
ing would be issued jointly at noon
today, the Russians published Mar
shall Sokolovsky's charges in full in
their morning newspapers here.
The official Russian news agency
had the accusations in print for
German readers while the press re-
lations officers of the Western pow
ers still were working on transla-
tions of the communique and ar
ranging press briefings to give the
Allied side of the story.
(The Soviet monitor in London
distributed the text of the Soko-
lovsky accusations there.)
Gen. Clay had insisted that the
Russian charges be made public in
full 80 that they will be a matter
of public record and can be studied
by all"
Although the Russians, and their
authorized press in Germany, have
made similar charges frequently in
the past, Allied observers here saw
in Marshal Sokolovsky's action an
other bad omen for the success of
the London conference.
Marshal Sokolovskys blast drew
immediate and angry rejoinders
from Gen. Clay and the British
delegate, Maj Gen. v. G. E. Wes-
tropp, who termed, the accusations
"old charges which have been re-
futed time and time again"
Both were described as irked be-
cause they said they felt the Russian
used unfair tactics in making his
charges before what he knew was
the control councils last session be-
fore the Big -Four meeting in
London.

plant.
Coal miners: The strike spread
from the Nord and Pas de Calais
coal fields to Central France. About
125,00 workers were idle, although q
back-to-work movement was re-
ported.
100000 Quit In Paris Area.
Building and woodworkers: A
strike of 100000 workers in the Paris

Secondary schools: Teachers and

some back-to-work movements re-
ported
Flour mills: A general strike was
on around Paris, Lille and Marseille
Film industry: Motion picture
houses were on strike at Nice. Some
studios in Paris also were out.
The strikes were being backed
energetically by the Communist
Party. The back-to-work move
ments were largely in the hands of
the Anarcho-Syndicalist element,
which after being dormant for years
has suddenly sprung back into
activity
Syndicalists Oppose Strikes.
Although the syndicalists have
started strikes as often as Com
munists, they announced in leaflets
that they considered the present
movement not to be in the interests
of the working class but rather
political strikes" intended to make
the workers enslaved to the East
ern bloc"
Troops and extra police were dis
tributed throughout Paris and other
troubled cities over the country
today.
Benoit Frachon, secretary gen.
eral of the Communicated General
Labor Confederation, issued a state
ment of appreciation to the crew
of the American freighter Henry
Gilbert Coston, which repeatedly
voted solidarity with the dock
strikers in MarSeille.

This criticism is not substantiatec
when one correctly analyzes and

temporary officers who have been
retired by reason Of physical dis
ability" an Army spokesman said
Temporary officers as well assReg-

Of physical disability due to chronic

Three Ways to Leave Service.
The non-regular officers may re-

there are three methods by which
