France Offers Plan
For Federated Regime
In Reich Occupation
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 24.-The French gov
ernment today proposed two
stage plan for converting the four
German zones of occupation into a
federalized central administration
both under and after military oc-
cupation.
The Foreign Office, said an official
spokesman, dispatched two de-
tailed memoranda on German gov
ernment to the other members OF
the Foreign Ministers Council for
discussion in Moscow in March.
Neither stage of the projected
plan envisioned any special status
for the Ruhr Valley, and this ap-
peared to be a departure from
previously expressed French views
on Germany. The French long have
demanded internationalization Of
the Ruhr and severance OF the
Rhineland from the Reich of the
future.
Cabinet in First Session.
The first stage sought to establish
statute delineating federal and
state powers throughout Germany
while assuring continued strict Al
Lied control over central admins
tration, the spokesman said.
Release of the details of the plan
conceded with the first meeting OF
Premier Paul Ramadier's new IL
party cabinet in which Georges
Bidault, the nations spokesman
through the Paris Peace Conference,
again is the Foreign Minister. The
implication was that the project had
the Endorsement of all parties.
The proposal differs from the
views expressed last summer by
James F. Byrnes, then Secretary OF
State. The French contend that
Mr.. ,Byrnes' suggested United States
OF Germany" would be too CEN
tralized.
France proposes that the states in
the provisional period reserve all
powers not expressly delegated to
the federal government or retained
by Allied forces and that the states
have exclusive jurisdiction over
police, education, justice, public
health and related fields. The state
governments would be administered
by German officials under Allied
supervisors with veto powers. The
Allied Control Council would rule
on disputed points.
Post-Occupation Structure.
The central administration IN the
provisional period would be divided
between Allied and German oficials
but with Allied personnel continuing
to direct all matters of finance and
general economy.
In the permanent post-occupation
structure, France proposes a German
federal government in a federal dis
trict elsewhere than Berlin. 1t would
consist of an executive, elected by
the LEGISLATURE for a one-year term
and responsible to it; one-house
LEGISLATURE for which each state
would appoint four senators" to
four-year terms, and a Supreme
Court which would operate much as
the Supreme Court functions in the
United States.

Hannegan 10 Continu
To Hold 7 Positions,
Truman indicates

Robert E. Hannegan will continue
in his dual capacity as Postmaster
General and chairman of the DEM
ocratic National Committee, if his
health permits.
The decision is to be left to doc
tors after checkup at Walter Reed
Hospital.
President Truman told a news
conference late yesterday that he
had urged MIR. Hannegan to stay in
the cabinet and continue to direct
the committee, and that Mr.. Han
negan promised an answer when the
medical verdict is obtained.
After suffering from high blood
pressure, Mr.. Hannegan returned
Tuesday from a two-month trip to
Florida and left shortly afterward
for an unannounced destination.
Between planes he called at the
White House, and it was then that
Mr.. Truman, taking cognizance of
reports that his fellow Missourian
contemplated giving up one or both
jobs. asked that he stay on, the
President told newsmen.
Praises Work as Chairman.
Since the Democratic defeat In
November, some party leaders have
been after Mr.. Hannegan's scalp,
but the President said he thought
Mr.. Hannegan had been good
chairman.
Mr.. Hannegan became Postmaster
General on July l, 1915. He was
named head of the National Com
mittee January %, 1914, and ran
the Roosevelt fourthsterm cam
|paign.
When one reporter yesterday jok-
ingly asked the President if there
were any more unhealthy" persons
at the White House, Mr.. Truman
responded that there seemed to be
great strain on those around the
White House, and apparently the
strain was worse on others than the
President himself, since he felt fine.
Oscar R. Ewing of New York, vice
chairman, has been acting commit
tee chairman in Mr.. Hannegan's alb
Sence.
1t was learned yesterday that
Richard R. Macy resigned as execu-
tive vice chairman right after the
election to return to his banking
business in Jefferson City, Mo.
Covers Several Subjects.
The news conference covered a
wide variety of subjects.
The President said the hoped for
cooperation with the Republican
Congress was moving right along.
Asked what he thought about the
vote to continue the War Investigat-
ing Committee, which he once head
ed, Mr. Truman said that was a
matter for the Senate. Democrats
opposed continuance.
Miss Marion Martin, former vice
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, is under consid-
eration-with others-for the va
cancy on the Federal Communica-
tions Committee created by the res
ignation of Paul A. Porter.
Mr.. Truman is happy over the
Ford price cut and hopes other con-
Germs will fall in line

Decision Due Soon
On Court Action in
House Bank Shortage

Justice Department oficials said
today they expect to determine
fairly soon" whether criminal
prosecution can be undertaken
against any person believed re-
sponsible for a $125, 5,56373 shortage
in the House sergeant at arms office.
Such findings, they said, would
be referred to United States Attor-
ney George M. Fay for possible
presentation to grand jury here.
The work of the claims division
in the Justice Department is likely
to take considerably longer, a
spokesman said. The various short
age items are so complicated and
60 back so many years that Justice
Department experts repeatedly ex-
pect to encounter unusual difficult
ties in determining how much OF
the deficiency can be recovered from
bonding companies and from in
dividual persons.
Another problem, it was explained
is to determine the individuals from
whom some funds can possibly be re-
covered.
Work Well Under Way.
T. Lamar Caudle, chief of the
Criminal Division of the Justice
Department, reported that his part OF
the examination of the report sent
to him earlier this week by Speaker
Martin Is we'll under way. This re-
port, prepared by General Account
ing Office auditors and submitted by
Controller General Lindsay c. War
rem, disclosed a shortage OF $l21 ,98l
covering a period from 1928 through
1898 during the tenure OF former
Sergeant at Arms Kenneth Romney.
In addition to this, there were
overdrafts totaling $3,582.51 repre-
senting Withdrawals by House mem
bers. Speaker Martin said this
money is being paid up promptly
and in most cases was the result OF
carelessness by members who over
drew their accounts in the sergeant
at arms cashiers office.
Another Justice Department
spokesman explained that the prin-
cipal objects Of the criminal divi-
sion in examining the audit report
are: First, to see what Federal
statutes had been violated, and,
second. to determine whether pros
ecution in any specific instances is
now outlawed by the statute OF linn
itations.
Quiet Day at Bank"
He said he did not believe this
study would take very long but
that the work of the claims division
might necessarily go on for some
time. .lG.0. ...
The position of the Justice De-
partment, he said is simply to de-
termine these points Of law and
legal responsibility. So far as pos
sible court action is concerned, the
findings would be referred to the
district attorney here and grand
jury proceedings probably would fol-
low under the direction Of that OIL
cial, although with the assistance
of Justice Department attorneys
who are studying the case now.
Meanwhile, House Sergeant at
Arms William F. Russell reported a
quiet day at the cashiers Office. He
declared that nothing approaching
q run on the bank" developed yes
terday or today.

School Head Gets No Official Word Of Liberalization

WASILLA-The local school has received no official word concerning the loss of high school accreditation, it was an. nounced this week by James Pendleton, superintendent of schools. A newspaper account re- gently reported that Wasilla had been removed from the list of accredited high schools.
 MT Pendleton said that ac- cording to information given him by the Northwest Accerditinc Association last summer, the To- cal high school should carry full accreditation for another year. MT. Pendleton had asked for information on the matter, and he was told that present rules require an enrolment of 30 stu dents. When a total enrolment falls below 30 for two consecu- tive years loss of accreditation results.
 Wasilla now has only half that number of high school students, but the enrolment has not been below 30 for two consecutive years. An effort is being made to remove this attendance re- quirement for Alaskan high schools in rural areas.
 As result of the newspaper report, two Wasilla high school students have transferred to a larger school which is still fully accredited.
