BY the Associated Press

The State Department, it was
learned yesterday, is quietly ar
ranging a three-power foreign
ministers meeting on Western
Germany to be held here in about
10 days.
The meeting will try to settle
among the United States, Britain
and France critical issues delay
ing final unification and furthe,
economic development of Western
Germany.
The conference is timed to take
advantage Of the fact that British
Foreign Minister Bevin and French
Foreign Minister Schuman will
arrive in Washington late this
week. They will attend the sign
ing of the North Atlantic treaty
April 4.
The German talks probably will
be held Immediately after that
Authorities said they would be
very informal.

ern neighbors-the result Of one
of the conferences of lesser officials
on German problems which have
been under way abroad for many
months.
The announcement said 50
square miles of German land. with
a population of 1880, will be
switched to the Netherlands, Bel
GUM, Luxembourg, the Saar and
France to improve communica-
tons and administration. The
frontier will be pushed back in
side Germany at 81 points.
The major problems arise from
efforts to unity and establish a
government for all three zones OF
Western Germany and promote
it's economic development to aid
European recovery.
Possible Farley Topics.
Issues which may be taken up
by Secretary of State Acheson
Mr.. Bevin and Mr.. Schuman here
include the following:
/. Drafting an occupation stat
ute-Work has been going for
ward on this in London. 1t will
fix the relationship between the
occupation powers and the pro-
posed German government. The
United States is understood to
want the greatest possible free
dom of action for the new gov
eminent, consistent with security
against a German military revival.
France is reported to want to re-
serve for the Allied military gov
errors an overriding power.
2. Division of powers between
the proposed Central German
government and state govern
ments-The United States and
Britain have favored a strong
er central administration than
France, which considered loose
ly = federalized combination of
states one way of keeping Ger
many under control.
3. The Berlin crisis-So far all
efforts to reach an agreement
with the Russians for lifting their
Berlin blockade have failed. Dip
lomatic authorities believe, how
ever. that the foreign ministers
must seek other possibilities for
ending the crisis.

|Quick Senate PASSAGE
OF Arms Aid Bill Seen
Once Il Reaches Floor

A prediction that most Senate
differences over the foreign arms
program will be settled in COM
mittees and that the measure will
be passed quickly when it reaches
the floor was made today by Sen
ator Thomas, Democrat, of Utah.
Senator Thomas said he ex-
pected agreement on the legisla-
ton by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services Com
mittees. which have been holding
joint hearings on the $1,450,000,-
900 bill, to come son. But it will
be two weeks on even longer be-
fore 1t is called up for Senate de-
bate. The reciprocal trade bill is
scheduled for consideration when
the Senate resumes business on
Wednesday and a long debate on
that measure is in prospect.
Despite Senator Thomas opti-
mism, spirited opposition to the
arms program was indicated in a
weekend radio talk by Senator
Wherry Of Nebraska, the Repub-
lican floor leader. Assailing the
proposal, he said:
The arms program launched
by the administration, if carried
out. would be sheer waste of the
American taxpayers money"
He said "the most effective de-
tense against possible Russian ag-
gression would be an invincible

Il do not know one educated

Of an ignorant mentality to hear

The speaker then proceeded to
explore what she termed the myth
of racial inferiority in individual
Negroes by mentioning famed and
respected Negroes who had
achieved honor in various fields,
ranging from the prize fight
arena to the concert stage.
THE Negro" she added, has
been in one Buchenwald or an
other ever since he came to Am

inferior as group, it is the same
way that the prisoners at Buch-

they had been SO hard driven by
their brothers.

bout inter-marriage among white
people and Negroes. She answer
ed that she considered 1t unlikely
in most cases that members Of
the two races would care to marry
because their interests would not

chances for happiness in our pres-
ent society would not be good.
However, there is nothing wrong
