Army Losing
Men, Steadily
Eisenhower Expresses Con
Germ Over Dwindling
American Ranks

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. -R
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
said today he was concerned over
the d%windling American Army
and that he would become Jaw
fully shaky" if the trend con-
tinued.
The chief of staff told a news
conference the Army now has
between 965 900 and 10000 men
(the authorized strength is 1,070,-
000) and has been losing about
10000 a month .
Recruiting is running well oe-
low the 10000 per month average
needed to attain the authorized
strength - and, said Eisenhower,
ut is up to the American people
to produce that strength"
The general said he was going
to get awfully shaky" when and
if two things happen
1. The size of occupation forces
abroad fall below the level of
safety prescribed by Gen. Lslcius
D. Clay in Germany and Gen.
Douglas Macarthur in Japan:
2. Air force strength decreases
to the point where it ceases to be
a major element in national de-
tense.
May Tell Congress
"When those things happen"
said the general, 1--WE just got to
60 to Congress and tell them the
story"
He did not say what course he
would recommend to a Congress
which ended the draft a year ago.
Answering questions about
other military matters, Eisen-
hover, had this to say:
A terrific amount of military
construction is needed in strateg-
ically vital Alaska - but costs
there are extremely high. There
are virtually no facilities for
ground troops. The command so
far has been almost completely
aviation.
The question of taking over
Britain's occupation duties in
Germany has not arisen: II am
certain that no one in government
has even limited to us the British
even thinks of pulling out OF
Germany"
He is hopeful" the withdrawal
of American troops from Italy

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. -(P
The Interstate Commerce Com

that shippers opposed to the

The railroads are asking a ~

However, 1CC Chairman Clyde
Atcheson told attorneys for the
railroads at an afternoon ses-

witnesses will be heard before
the commission acts on the pro-
posed Emergency" increase.
Frederick G.. Hamley, general

Western Europe To Set Marshall

u.s.. Gains Voice In Ruhr Control
America
Sign Agreements
Pact Covers Broad Plan
For Increasing German
Coal Output

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. =
W.D - The United States and
Britain today agreed on a broad
plan for increasing the output
of Germany's Ruhr coal mines =
a key factor in the Marshall plan
for European economic recovery.
The agreement, signed here
after a month-long conference,
gives the United States for the
first time an equal voice with
Britain in supervision and con-
troll of the rich mining district
which lies in the British half of
the merged Western occupation
zones.
It also provides for German
management of actual operations
in the pits for the first time
since the Nazi surrender.
Plans also were laid for increas-
daily food ration of the German
miners - a step which many ex-
perts have described as the first
essential in restoring production
to. pre-war levels.
While the conference produced
agreement on the long-standing
U. S. demand for an equal share
in supervision, it failed to settle
the sharp A~nglo-American con-
traversy over British plans for
eventual Specialization of the
mines.
Assistant Secretary of State
Willard Throp, who represented
the United States in the two-pow-
er talks, said that this country
"still is not in agreement with
Britain's attitude" on the ques-
ton of naturalization.
The chief British delegate, Sir
William Strang, was equally en-
phatic in saying his government
had not changed its opposition
to returning the pits to private
German owners.
Throp and Strang stressed that
their accord was subject to the
ratification by their respective
governments, but both believed
it would be put into operation
quickly.

MILITARY MOVES
AGAINST RIOTERS
Situation In New Delhi
Termed Under Control
By City Police

NEW DELHI, Sept. 1O-(AP)
Military forces took the Of
tense today against riotous
mobs, implementing a govern
ment pledge to act on a war
basis against communal carnage
which has taken an estimated
1000 lives in four days.
No official count existed of
the dead and wounded in the
twin cities of old and New Del
hi, but most police and mill
tary officials said the toll was
at least 1000 killed and possib-
ly many more.
The military and police said
the situation was under con-
troll" but they voiced frankly
the belief that the violence
would end entirely only when
enraged Sikhs and Hindus have
killed or driven away most or
all of the 100000 Moslems in
old and New Delhi. The Mos
lens were fleeing the area in
great numbers.
While sporadic bursts of gun
fire and new cases of arson
still dotted the two cities, the
India cabinet emergency COM
mittee ordered a halt to the in
flux into Delhi of refugees, de-
scribed by Commissioner Khur-
shid Ahmed Khan as the "chief
cause of trouble" At the same
time the transport ministry was
asked to provide special trains
to remove the Moslem refugees
from the area.
Gandhi In Camps
Monhandas K. Gandhi, whose
"protest" fast in Calcutta end
ed violence there, toured some
disturbed areas and refugee
camps. He said he wuld remain
in Delhi until peace is restored.
The cabinet committee auth
rized punishment of police and
military personnel guilty of
derelection of duty. An ordin-
ance issued by Governor Cen
eral Lord Mountbatten provided
the death penalty for members
of armed forces whose derelec-
ton may cause loss of life
aboard guarded trains.

armed Sikhs boarded the Mad
ras-bound express at New Delhi
Sunday, stopped the train two
miles South of the city and
