HaIf-Dozen Agencies
Probe CumberIand's
Unemployment Crisis
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 5.-Half a
dozen agencies were taking aim
today at the unemployment crisis
in and around Cumberland.
Harry Novick, from the Bureau
Of Employment Security. part
of the Federal Security Agency in
Washington, came to Baltimore
to get preliminary information on
Western Maryland's industrial
city.
He conferred with William H
Mahaney, chairman of the State s
Employment Security Board.
The Commerce Department in
Washington described the Cum
berland situation as serious"
Maryland's Legislative Council
set up a special flve-man com.
mittee to study the situation.
Gov. Lane said in Annapolis
he would meet with the group
early next week.
The Governor said, meantime
that he expects new developments
sometime next week on his in
quiries about the employment
situation at the Amcelle plant of
the Celanese Corp. of America
Just outside Cumberland. He did
not elaborate.
Heavy layoffs at Amcelle since
the first of the year are the main
cause of Cumberland difficulties
The plant employed as many as
10000 in a long period of peak
production during and just after
the war.
Between $500 and 1000 have
been furloughed now. Other
plants and the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad have cut their forces to
the point that there are now an
estimated $500 in Allegany Coun-
ty without jobs.
The situation will come to a
head Monday when Mr.. Novick
and Mr.. Mahaney go to Cumber-
land to start an on-the- spot sur
vey of conditions.
They will be accompanied BY
Louis J. O'Donnell, assistant to the
Governor.
The Department OF Commerce
already has designated Cumber-
land a distress" area.
A department spokesman In
Washington said the Cumberland
study is designed to get flrstshand
information on business and en-
ployment. to discuss with local
leaders plans for improving the
situation and to formulate recon-
mendations for Government &C
ton.
Federal agencies are making
such studies in line with President
Truman's plan of channeling Gov.
ernment contracts, where possible
into the distress areas.
The special Legislative Council
Committee was set up at the sug-
gestion of Senator Kimble, Repub-
lican. of Allegany County. He pre-
viously had reported to the council
that the situation in his area is

u. s., Britain Discuss
Halt 10 Reparation5
Deliveries 10 Russia
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Diplomatic
sources said yesterday that the
United States and Britain are
talking over an idea for stopping
reparations deliveries from West
ern Germany to Russia.
These sources, who refused to
be identified for publication, en-
phasized that the idea was ini-
tiated by the American Govern
ment in a tentative way and
thoughts on the subject still are
being exchanged in Washington
and London.
The British are against the pro-
posal in the form broached by
the Americans during talks with
Britain on German reparations
policies. Instead, the British are
tentatively for continuing part
fulfillment of deliveries to Russia.
Industrial Plants Main Prizes.
The main prizes are industrial
plants dismantled in Western Ger
many and mostly in British hands.
Around 20 have been already
taken down and some are Grated
and marked for Russia.
Russia m and Poland together
were assigned Is per cent of dis
mantled plants under the Pots
dam Pact for disposal of the spoils
in the three Western zones. Ten
per cent was allocated uncondi-
tionally and the other IS per cent
was to be exchanged for goods
from Russia.
Countering the original Amer
lean proposal to cut off all further
reparations shipments to Russia,
Britain proposed the shipment of
10 per cent if Russia will renounce
claim to the other Is per cent.
British officials explained that
Russia is not keeping up with ex-
changes Of goods in payment for
maintaining plants. However, the
Western powers were supposed to
complete shipments to Russia
while the Russians were given five
years to pay in goods.
West Turns Down Red Offers.
The Western powers are known
to have turned down Russian
offers to drain goods from Eastern
Germany to pay the West.
There appeared to be two
courses open in the event of a
stalemate: % Western Germany
might be allowed to keep plants
marked for Russia. but this would
raise clamor among other West
ern European countries: and 20
the 18-nation Inter-Allied Repa-
rations Agency based in Brussels
might distribute them in Western
European countries as needed.
In the latter event. the United
States might be expected to pro-
test because of a desire to
strengthen Western Germany eco
nomically. The British might be
for it as a stimulus to European
economic recovery generally.

000, 900 of new money.
New Bill Explains Tieup.
Up to now some administrative
spokesmen contended this arms
program was worked out entirely
apart from the North Atlantic de-
fense pact. The new bill now
frankly ties this arms program in
with the treaty.
Another significant feature OF
the new bill is that it contains a
statement of policy reaffirming the
Vandenberg resolution passed by
the Republican 80th Congress,
which became the springboard for
the drafting of the North At
lantic treaty.
Some observers viewed this
new part of the bill as a friendly
gesture toward Senator Vanden-
berg. who was one of the first to
call for changes in the original
arms bill.
The new bill was sent to Con-
gress as critics drove to cut the
cost of the program in half, de-
spite the Presidents demand
anew for the full amount. Mr..
Truman said yesterday that he
isn't insisting on blank check

to any nation.
