U. s. Gains Power, Leadership In Western Crmany

WASHIN TON, (P) - The United States appears to be nov ing into a new position of power and leadership in western Ger many as a result of Britain's in ability to pay her own way there.
 This developing situation re- fleets the general growth of Amer ican influence throughout the Flu ropean area due to the need for American dollars to buy the ne- cessities of life and to pay for eventual reconstruction.
 It appears to result not so much from. any deliberate effort by the United States to gain influence for its own sake as from the Ameri- can attempts to restore conditions in Europe to a point where the nations there can develop as they wish without heavy outside politi- cal influences, particularly Com munism.
 Fresh information on the way things are going in the Anglo American zones of western Ger many came to light in connection with the official announcement Wednesday night of plans to boost coal production in the Ruhr mines of Germany. Much greater output from these mines is regarded to both London and Washington as essential to economic recovery in Europe.

Forty years ago, on March 4, 1907,
the young Arkansan came 70 Wash
ington to take over the duties OF
secretary to the late Representa-
tive Ben Cravens of that State. He
served later with Representative
Otis Wingo until 1921. and there
after with Senators Thaddeus and
Hattie Caraway.
Typed First Declaration.
Mr.. Whiteside used to recall that
it was only by accident that he typed
out the declaration of war in 1917.
He was clerk of enrolled bills at the
House of Representatives then, and
was asked to type a copy of the de-
mand for war against Germany just
before President Wilson went before
Congress.
In 1941, as clerk of the same COM
mittee in the Senate, it was his job
to certify and carry to the White
House the resolution that state of
war existed between this country
and Japan, and later, against Ger
many and Italy.
In July, 1945, he also played part
in the birth of the United Nations
when he delivered to the White
House the United Nations Charter
and the Senate's ratification of the
pact.
Wrote Newspaper Column.
It was his fondest wish that he
might have been given the honor
of carrying the peace treaty for
World War II to the White House
for President Truman's signature.
Since his retirement, Mr.. White
side had continued to write column
for the Arkansas Democrat in Little
Rock. as he had for many years.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Pearle B. Whiteside; daughter,
Mrs. A. S. Gardiner, jr.. of Bethesda,
Md. and three grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at
noon Saturday at the S. H. Hines

| Te|evision Of Movies
And Plays 10 Home
Subscribers Slated

Pefection of phone vision, a new
type television which will receive
first run movies and Broadway
plays in the home, was announced
today.
Developed by the Zenith Radio
Corp, the device will receive all
standard television broadcasts free.
When the users wish movies, plays
or news piped into their homes,
they will be charged an admission
fee" which will vary with the quality
of the performance.
For instance, a showing of such a
film as "The Yearling" would cost
more than a class B movie.
Splits Frequencies.
E. F. Mcdonald, jr., president of
Zenith, said phone vision works by
splitting the complicated bundle of
frequencies that make up a tele-
vision picture, and sending certain
key frequencies to the subscriber
over his telephone or electric wire.
The remaining frequencies are
broadcast in the usual manner. but
the resulting picture is confused
blur unless the key frequency is re-
ceived by wire.
To order a program, the sub
scriber calls his telephone operator.
In this manner he will receive the
key frequency to straighten out the
picture on screen. At the end of the
month the subscriber is billed for
the service, as for telephone service.
Washington to Get Sets.
Zenith will grant licenses to sew
eral manufacturers, but it will be
six months to a year before produc-
ton Is in full swing. First cities to
receive the sets will include Wash
ington, New York, Chicago and Los
Angeles.
Existing television sets can be
altered to handle phone vision. Cost
of producing the special shows,
which will be done both in color and
black and white, will run as high as
a million dollars per hour in some
cases, more than an advertising
sponsor could pay, Mr.. Mcdonald
said,

to establish this balance sheet it

1t has been mentioned that Amer

several times, I have even put II
in writing, that it is not a question
of fixing directives by way of au-
thority. It is simply question OF
knowing the production and objec-
tives of these various countries and
of harmonizing them in complete
liberty.
Neither England, I am sure, MOI
France, in any case, I affirm, seeks
dominating place In such an Or
ganization. But we have learned
from the experience of existing in
ternational organizations that the
role of great powers cannot be un-
derestimated. This is why we have
thought as is normal in every other
case that it was their duty to take
the initiative.
Consequently there were not only
verbal reserves as to noninterfer-
ence in internal affairs and as to
guarantee of the individual SOW
ereignty Of states, but clear and
categorical commitment. There can
be no question of controlled coun-
tries which would be subjected to
the pleasure Of some great powers.

U. S. Labels 10 as Nuzi
For Each in British Zone

NEW YORK, July 3 (NANA) -
For every person in the British zone
Of Germany who can be legally
classed as Nazi, there are nearly
10 in the American zone, reports the
Berlin Telegraf. In the three states
of the American zone, 3,303,5 per-
sons are affected, while the total
for the British zone is 354,000.
Actually the disproportion is even
greater than appears from these fig
ures, because the British zone has
%, 100000 inhabitants, while the
American zone has only 1900, 900.
The striking discrepancy between
these figures is accounted for by the
fact that the British zone law lists
only three categories of persons
charged with Nazi activities, while
there are four categories Of Nazis in
the American zone.
