SAM EASTMAN.

Clarence Burlington Kelland has
once again meticulously followed
the tried and trusted formula which
he has used as blueprint through
out his literary career. The situa-
tons and characters which appear
in This Is My Son" have haunted
his previous literary efforts with
monotonous regularity.
This tepid novel, which barely at
tains q respectable degree Of medi-
ocrity, tells of an unassertive young
man whose father sends him to
manage a ranch in Arizona in hope
Of developing in him a more aggres-
sive personality. The plot is be-
nevable, the synthetic characters
and dialogue merely pathetic.

 Is Switched

PARIS. March 26.--tR- The French Foreign Office announces that 52 square miles will be sliced off of Germany and switched to France, Belgoum, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.
 Tn all. 31 localities having 13,500 persons are involved in the border realignmcnt. The change is being made on a provisional basis.
 Permanence oI the change will depend on an eventual peace treaty with Germany. The Allies signed peace treaties with Bulgaria, Ru- mania, Yugoslavia. Italy and Fin land in l946. The East and West have failed to agree on terms for Germany. Austria and Japan.
 Germans reacted bitterly. The State Cabinet of North Rhine Westphalia said the decision violat- ed the Atlantic Charter and in- ternational law.
 
 No force can tear apart the un- ion" between Germans in the af- fected border areas and the other German people, the Cabinet said in Frankfurt. The action brought forth some of the most violent Ger man denunciations of the Western Allies since the war.
 Germans in the sections being switched to French, Belgian, Dutch or Luxembourg control have been offered the opportunity of moving their families and belongings to points which will remain inside Germany.

Trunnan's 5 Administration
 Stripped of Military Men;
 Had Roles, Foreign Policy

WASHINGTON. March 26.--tR-- The Truman administration is now virtually stripped of the military men who once played important roles in the nations foreign policy.
 President Truman apparently did not plan it that way. Despite the often severe criticism levelled at him during his first term for the military influence which some oolumnists and lawmakers saw in U. s. foreign affairs.
 It has been a series of resigna- tions, most of which he accepted re- luctantly, which has substantially changed the character of MT. Tru- mans team of advisors on interna- tlonal matters.
 The latest came yesterday when Admiral William D. Leahy, 73 re- tired as member of the Presidents White House staff and Gen. Walter Bedell Smith quit one of the na- tion's most important diplomatic assignments. that of ambassador to Moscow.
 Leahy, who during the war was U. s. envoy to Vichy, France, was Mir Truman's chief of staff Ill the early days of the administration, he reportedly played large part i'll developing this nations tough" policy toward Russia.
 The resignatlons started in Janu- ary when the ailing Gen. George c. Marshall quit as Secretary of State. and was replaced by Dean Acheson, an attorney and former State De- partment official.
 At the same time Ro- ert A. Lovett was succeeded as Undersecretary by Budget Director James E. Webb Lovett was wartime Assistant Secre- tary of War for Air.
 | Secretary of Defense James For restal's resignation is effective al the end of this month.
