Urged as Successor

Gen. Lucius D. Clay is stepping
out as chief Of the American oc-
cupation zone in Germany on
May Is, and the administration
Is urging John J. Mccloy, presi-
dent Of the World Bank. to take
over as his successor. but In the
new role Of first American civilian
high commissioner In the en-
quered territory.
The retirement of Gen. Clay
from the difficult post he has
held four years was announced
last night by President Truman.
The switch from military to
civilian control in Germany was
agreed on here last month by
the United States, Britain and
France. This was in connection
with the plan to merge their three
occupation zones and promote
creation Of federal German re-
public.
Member of Allied Commission.
Mr.. McCloy or whoever takes
the assignment for the United
States will be a member of the
Allied High Commission. which
will have the responsibility for
supervising the organization and
development of the proposed new
German state. Mr.. McCloy is a
former Assistant Secretary of
War.
Mr.. Truman brought out in his
statement that Gen. Clay's retire
ment comedies with the end of
an era in postwar Germany. He
said the work "of moral and
economic reconstruction" in the
Western zones has arrived at a
point where the Germans "are
about to obtain a greatly enlarged
measure of political and economic
responsibility"
The President lauded Gen. Clay
for having carried out "a prodigi-
Gus task of administration" and
declared he is being released from
his job because Of his own "re-
peated requests"
His name will always be as
sociated with one of the toughest
tasks and accomplishments of
American history"
Although the Western powers
are switching from military to
civilian control, occupation forces
will remain in Germany indefi-
nitely for policing and general
security reasons. The White
House announced that 1t. Gen.
Clarence r. Huebner. Gen. Clay's
military deputy, and Maj. Gen.
George P. Hays. Gen. Clay's mill
tary government deputy. will
carry on their respective tasks
pending the appointment of a
High Commissioner.
To Name Military Chief.
The High Commissioner will take
over the government responsible
ties which Gen. Clay has exercised
and apparently the President will
have to name a military man as
commander for American forces
in Europe. There has been specu-
lation that this job might go either
to Gen. Mark w. Clark. Sixth
Army commander. or 1t. Gen.
Albert c. Wedemeyer, who is on
duty here.
Mr.. McCloy has been under con-
sideration by Mr.. Truman and
Secretary of State Acheson as Gen.
Clay's successor for several weeks.
Mr.. McCloy discussed the assign
ment with MIR. Acheson in ] con-
ference at the State Department
Friday but associates said today
that he had not yet decided to
accept.
Among other things. Mr.. McClay
Is reported to be concerned that
some one he believes to be fully
qualified should step into the
presidency of the World Bank If
and when he leaves. The bank
is an international organization
including A nations on its board
of directors and the president has
to be elected by the board. But
because of this country's domi-
