Says Industry Is Sound
by the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30.-Busi-
ness and industry are In generally
sound condition and there is mo
possibility of crackup in the finan-
cial market" the president Of Dun
e. Bradstreet says.
Arthur D. Whiteside sees very
little difficulty ahead of us unless
there should be an international
breakup"
The former vice president Of the
War Production Board told the Ro-
tary Club yesterday:
Business slowed up in the late
spring and summer. That was as it
should have been. A perpetual
sellers market creates high prices
and harms every body. We now
have swung to buyers market and
the buyer best knows what is good

New Plant Removals
Reported Begun by
Reds in East Reich
indication of Intention
To Withdrew Occupation
Forces Seen in Action
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Oct. 30.-The Rus
slams have started a new wave
of factory removals in Eastern
Germany which indicates they
may be preparing withdrawal OF
their occupation forces, Ameri-
can intelligence sources said to-
day.
These sources said the Russians
were not only dismantling factories
owned by Germans, but also plants
to which the Soviets themselves held
title.
This indicated. they said, that the
Russians might be preparing to pull
stakes from Germany. This would
fit the Soviet declaration announced
at the Warsaw conference of East
ern European Foreign Ministers
several months ago that all four
occupying forces should evacuate.
EOS Plants on List.
The American licensed news
agency DENA reported the Rus
slams had handed Communists in
Eastern Germany a list of 205 fac
tories to be dismantled by June !
1949.
DENA said the secret list in
Guided 1862 plants to which the Rus
slams already held title. These were
confscated for reparations, but OPP
Grated on German soil with German
labor and raw materials.
The agency said the Russian in
tention to remove these factories
within eight months was supported
by informed quarters" which added
that this was proof that Russians
intend to withdraw their occupa-
ton forces by the middle of the
coming year"
American quarters said they knew
that new dismantling program
was under way in the Russian occu-
patton zone.
Title Already Seized.
They said they could not state
the number of factories involved,
but were convinced that the Rus
slams were removing factories to
which the Russians have seized title
and Jumped into their gigantic in
dustrial trust for reparations pro-
duction. American sources esti-
mated that these plants accounted
for at least one-third of the re-
naming industrial production in
the Soviet zone.
An American intelligence official
said:
I'VE know the Russians are now
removing these Soviet plants 1t
probably means they are removing
what they call their property, pre-
paratory to pulling out of Germany
and putting the Western powers on
the spot also to withdraw.
Whether they intend to clear
out by June l is anybody's guess,
however. BY that time they may
come up with still another dis
mantling list. Yet this one may be
the last"

Peace orWar' Footing
Set For Army Nov. IS;
; Top Posts Created
Gen. J. Luwton Collins
Made Vice Stoff Chief;
Two Deputies Named
By John A. Giles

The Army plans to go on a
peace or war" footing, designed
to obviate the necessity for sud-
den change in event of an emer-
gency.
Secretary Royal, announcing late
yesterday that the changes will take
effect on November IS, said the new
plan lay somewhere between the
World War II organization. which
placed the Army on war footing,
and the present arrangement, which
resembles the peacetime system in
effect until Pearl Harbor.
Army spokesman denied that the
reorganization had any connection
with the present international ten
sion and declared 1t had been I'M
der consideration for months and
months" It's announcement at this
particular time however, Is consid-
cred significant.
Two Top Leaders.
The plan in reality creates two
top military men to direct opera
tons by setting up vice chief of
staff which, Mr.. Royal said. would
provide the chief of staff with an
alter ego, whose official acts shall
be considered as emanating from
the chief of staff and shall have full
force and effect as such" Thus,
he added, Gen. Bradley, the Chief
of Staff. will be available for field
inspections and for coordination
with the military chiefs of the other
defense departments.
Mr. Royal named Gen. j. Lawton
Collins, present deputy chief. to the
new post. Gen. Collins, a veteran
tactician, is one of the Army's few
top officers who are veterans of both
Pacific and European fighting in the
last war.
The plan also creates two deputy
chiefs OF staff. who will have charge
of administration and of plans and
combat operations. Mr.. Royal
named 1t. Gen. Wade H. Haislip
present special assistant to the Chief
OF Staff, to the administrative post
and 1t. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer
present general staff director OF
plans and operations, to the other
position.
Crucial Tasks for Bradley.
Mr.. Royal said the creation OF
the three new posts will not only in
crease the efficiency of top Army
administration and expedite bust
ness but also will allow Gen. Bradley
Ito devote more time to such crucial
questions as character guidance,
discipline. housing and field eff
ciency' during the imminent period
OF Army expansion.
The reorganization also vested in
the assistant secretary or the under
secretary, overall supervision of
Army logistics.
The general staff director tor
logistics was given direct RESPONSE
bility for the seven technical serv-
ices-Chemical Corps, Signal Corps.
Medical Department. Corps of Engi-
neers, Ordnance Department, Trans

PARIS, Oct. 30.-The United
Nations today ordered Israeli
and Arab troops to cease firing
on the northern front of the
Holy Land, where fighting blazed
up yesterday.
U. N. spokesman in Haifa re-
ported an attack by Israeli forces
in the north, preceded by aerial
bombardment. The U. N. staff said
Jewish planes dropped leaflets pro-
claiming this to be an attack tic
liberate all Palestine"
Brig. Gen. William Riley, head OF
the U. N. truce observers, set the
truce time for noon. GMT q am.
EST, today, but the U. N. here
said both Israelis and Arabs de-
manded guarantees that the other
side would observe such an order
before either would accept.
The order was communicated to
Tel Aviv and Beirut, Lebanon. There
was no immediate word here
whether it had been accepted.
Heavy Fighting Goes On.
Dispatches from Palestine said
heavy fighting continued in the
area.
This added new complication to
the already tangled Holy Land
situation. The U. N. has made a
cease-flre order effective in the dis
puted Negeb Desert area of the
south. The Israelis, however, have
refused to give up territory they
took in battling with the Egyptians
and return to positions of October
IA, when fighting erupted there.
U. N. observers in Palestine said
the Jews attacked Lebanese forces
between Tarbikha and Hulen, after
aerial bombardment, at dawn yes
terday. The observers said it could
be assumed this attack was in re-
taliatlon against Arab forces who
had taken positions east of the truce
line recently. Gen. Riley lodged a
protest with the Israeli government.
In his new order Gen. Riley told
the Lebanese and Israelis they both
must halt the fighting before any
question OF guarantees could be con-
sidered. He said his observers on
both sides would attempt to bring
local commanders together tor ne
gotiatlons.
Message Sent to Bunche.
Gen. Riley also sent word to DR..
Ralph j. Bunche, the acting media
tor, in Paris, that Israel commended
she was taking only defensive action
in the Northern Galilee sector.
Israel complained that Arab forces
under Fawzl al Kaukji, head of the
so-called Arab Liberation Army,
took dominating positions along
Israeli supply routes to Metullah on
the Lebanese-Palestine frontier and
along routes to Jewish settlements
in the northern area.
A U. N. source here said Lebanon
probably felt she should not. be re-
quired to withdraw from positions
in the north unless Israeli forces
withdrew in the south (the Negeb) :.
