stroyed the main assembly

not all of the workers who

that more than seventy-five

Scout Building Fund

One of the most worthy
projects ever sponsored by
any organization in this town
is the present plan of the
Smyrna Lions Club to back
the building of a meeting and
recreation home for both Boy
and Girl Scouts.
However, this project can
not be successful without the
wholehearted support and en-
thusiasm of the entire COM
munity. That support can be
achieved through Individual
financial contributions from
everyone living in and around
Smyrna.
Letters were sent out re-
Gently by the chairman of the
Fund Solicitation Committee,
Francis B. Gebhart, asking
each and every one of us to
contribute an amount equival-
ent to one days income. Many
citizens responded readily and
it is expected that others will
follow within a few weeks. In
the meantime, an intensive
fund raising campaign has
been started and is now well
underway.
The committee wants it
made known to the public that
this is strictly a local project
and that no amount of the
money received will go to any
state OF national headquart-
ers. 1t will all stay right
here in Smyrna and be used
exclusively for the Scout
building. Once completed and
turned over to the local scouts
the Smyrna Lions Club will in
no way use the building for
its own activities. This is as
it should be-and the Smyrna
Lions realize this fact.
The success Of this project
depends on the response of
every resident of our COM
munity, so let's GIVE!

JUS. Fights Objections
I0fFrench and Germans
Ito New Plan for Reich
By Gornett D. Horner

American officials today sought to
overcome German as vel las French
objections to proposals for creating
separate provisional government
in Western Germany.
German press reaction to the rec
concentrations of the six-power Lon
don conference has been highly crit
ical, taking the line that the plan
for federalized government was to
be imposed on the German people.
Officials here insist this criticism
arises from a misunderstanding OF
the plan drafted at the London
conference and formally accepted
for the United States by Secretary
of State Marshall yesterday.
Regime Not Being Imposed.
The American attitude is that it
must be made clear to the people in
Western Germany that they are
being given opportunity to decide
(a whether to go ahead now with
formation of their own government,
and CD If so, what kind of govern
ment they want, within certain
broad limitations.
There is no plan to impose a
government on Western Germany
now If the people do not want it,
officials emphasized.
Actually, American authorities are
confident there is considerable SEN
| timent in Western Germany for a
federal government and that the
plan will be carried out once it is
formally presented and understood.
The recommendation cannot be
submitted to heads of the German
states in the western zones until
they have been accepted by France,
whose National Assembly debates
them tomorrow.
Criticism of the proposals has
come from both the right and left
in France. Secretary of State Mar
shall said yesterday that it was
easy to understand French fears Of
a resurgence of German power, but
emphasized that he thought the
proposals contained adequate Sc
lCurlCy Safeguards.
vandenberg Plan Cited.
The United States went as far
as it possibly could under present
circumstances to reaSsure French
negotiators on the security problem
at the London conference, it was
stressed here. Aside from promis-
ing to keep occupation troops in
Germany until European peace is
secure and not withdraw them with
out prior consultation, American
representatives pointed to the VAN
denberg resolution, pending in the
Senate, which would indorse Amer
lean military support for the West
ern European defense union.
Assuming that the French Parlia-
ment supports Foreign Minister
Bidault in accepting the recon-
mendations, the first step in carry
ing them out will be for the Amer
ican, British and French military
governors in Germany to submit
them to the presidents of the vari-
Gus German states in their zones.
This meeting will give the AL
lied leaders opportunity to explain
the details of the London agree
ment. The German state presi-
dents would be expected to partici-
pate in working out plans for
holding state elections of delegates

Reports of dog bites continue to

marian of the department reported

ported over the week end and 10

Tuesday. These bring this years
total to 252. compared with 19l at
