Allies Unable 10 Agree
On Forces in Reich
BY III. A.seei1.sd Press

BERLIN, May 31.-Unable to re-
solve the same issues that blocked
agreement in the foreign ministers
meeting in Moscow, the Allied Con-
troll Council failed today to meet
the June l deadline set by the min
listers for recommendations on re-
auctions of occupation forces in
Germany.
The council decided to lay before
the ministers the opposing positions
taken in the Control Council.
The British were reported insist
ing on a parity of troop numbers
in all four zones. The Russians
argued that the troop strength Of
the Americans and British should
be Jumped together to equal the
strength of the Soviet forces. The
Americans sought general reduc-
ton of all occupation forces, re-
gardless of parity.
Actually the council never got
around to discussing actual num-
bers of occupation troops, high Al
lied officials said. The council
begged down in a discussion of
guiding principle before getting to
that point.
Meanwhile, the council settled
dispute between the Russians and
the three Western powers over res
ignation of Berlin's lord mayor, DR..
Otto OstroWski, by instructing the
Allied kommandatura to approve his
retirement from Office and direct
the Berlin city council to pick a new
mayor.

Two More nazi Wives
jailed 70 Await Trial
As Major Offenders
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

BAD TOELZ, Germany, May 81.
The wives of former Hitler Youth
Leader BaIdur Won Schiracll and
Minister of Economics, Walther
Funk, both convicted war criminals,
were lodged in jail here tonight for
trial as alleged major Nazi offenders.
Weeping violently, pretty 34-year-
old Henriette Won Schirach was
picked up by police at mountain
inn at Jachenau while she was pre-
pairing birthday party for one of
her four children.
Frau Luise Funk, ST, suffered a
heart attack after her arrest earlier
today near Bad Toelz. A Jail ply
stefan said she was seriously Ill.
Apprehension of the two women on
orders from the Bavarian denazifi-
cation minister, Alfred Loritz, fol-
lowed similar action against Frau
Hermann Goering and Frau Hans
Frank, whose husbands died at
Nuremberg last year.
Two Others Still at Large.
Funk Is serving an international
military tribunal sentence of life i'm
prisonment. Won Schirach got 20
years.
Two other Nuremberg widows .
Frau Wilhelm Prick and Frau Fritz
Sauckel. still were at large tonight
although Loritz had said he intended
to put them in Jail pending their de-
nazification trials. Frau Prick re-
portedly fled to the British zone, but
Frau Sauckel was understood to be
in an upland hideaway near Berch-
tesgaden with her 10 children.
Frau Won Schirach, tall blond,
was on the verge of hysteria when
she heard that she must return to
prison. American authorities held
her three months last year for an
investigation of rumored resist
ance movement among former Hit
Ter youth officials. No charges were
brought against her by the United
States.
Blames Americans.
The fearful mother said she did
not know what would become of her
children If she went to Jail again.
Besides her own offspring she has
been caring for two children of her
brother, Heinrich Hoffman. jr. He is
under American arrest in Nuremberg
while his wife has been held at a
German internment center for
women at Ludwigsburg for II
months without trial.
Max Allwein, Bad Toek prosecu-
tor, said he would try to have the
denazification hearings of Frau
Won Schirach held within two weeks.
The latter, as she kissed her chill
dren boodbye, declared: America is
responsible for what goes on in Ger
many now, even what goes on in
the world. Why do Americans permit
little German officials to revive a
Nazi-type Of barbarous persecu-
tion?"

Radio Dramatizes Life
OF Famous D. {. Physician

The life Of DR.. John Frederick
May, Washington physician who
identified the body Of John Wilkes
Booth when he was finally captured,
after President Lincoln's assassina-
ton, was dramatized yesterday over
a national radio network.
The broadcast was part of series
on famous doctors, sponsored by
the American Medical Association,
which this year is celebrating its
E100th anniversary. 1t was heard
locally over Station WRC.
Dr.. May was able to identify Booth
because he had removed a large
tunor from Booths neck. which left
a large scar. Though his role in
identifying the Presidents assassin
assured the Washington physician
of place in history, he was already
one of the most distinguished doc
tors Of his generation, the broadcast
related. So

THE CAST.

at Ruth the unreStrained feelings
of man who hasn't seen an Amer
ican woman for several years.
4 4 r.
Dear Ruth" is maintained at a
generally high level of hilarity
while this scrambled affair is being
untangled. A large part of the hui
NOR stems from the household diff
culties that beset the father (Mr.
Arnold of Ruth and the dangerous
adolescent Mona Freeman). Mir
lam, the adolescent, would be quite
problem for any father, what with
her view that the war is war be-
tween the younger and older gener-
ations, and her conviction that any
thing she does for morale is for the
best.
Mr.. Arnold plays the role Of a
man harassed by female children
with obvious relish. 1t is lighter
part than most he has had in recent
years and he makes the most of it.
Mr.. De Wolfe is responsible for a
large share of the comedy, too, in
his portrayal of the prissy and
pompous Albert. If Albert were less
fatuous you might feel sorry for him
in the spiritual beating he takes,
being pushed from a subway train
by Bills sister Virginia Welles) /,
being pushed around generally by a
lot of other people. and being forced
to sit by while Bill earnestly woos
Ruth.
Altogether Dear Ruth" adds up
to welcome session of light-hearted
farce.

early-day Winchell, a gossip col
umnist feared by all Of Paris, who
can make or break a cabinet min
lister by a mere hint of scandal.
1t is all the more incredible since
Bel Ami is such a tiresome sort. At
one point he remarks to a beseech-
ing woman that love and marriage
have nothing in common. At an
other time he looks after another
woman toward whom he has just
cast a few innuendos and says, Il
have lighted fire in an old SCOT
filled chimney"
George Sanders is improbably cast
as the old fire-lighter. The women
to whom he proves irresistible are
Angela Lansbury, Ann Dvorak,
Marie Wilson, Katherine Emery and
Susan Douglas. Among the others
in the large cast are John Carradine,
Warren William and Albert Basser-
man. All of them with the excep-
ton of MIR. Basserman, naturally
perform as if Director Albert Lewin's
notion of the people of 1880 had been
picked up at Mime. Taussaud's and
he consequently made them act like
dummies in a wax museum.
"The Private Affairs of Bel Ami"
incidentally, was adapted from a
story by Guy de Maupassant and
We have only friendly word of
warning for Mr. Levin, who also
wrote the screenplay. If he ever
runs across Maupassant on some
other worldly plane, he'd better duck
