US. Weighed Quitting
Berlin in Blockade,
CIay's Book Reports
By the Assoeiated Press

BERLIN, Feb. 9.-Western re-
sistance to the Soviet blockade of
Berlin turned out to be one of the
chief victories in the East-West
cold war, but it is disclosed now
that serious consideration was
given in Washington to withdraw
ing in the face of Russian pres
sure.
This was one of the points
brought out in Gen. Lucius D.
FClay's book Decision in Ger
many" being published today in
the United States by Doubleday.
The generals account of his four
years as deputy and then military
governor of Germany is behind
the scenes picture of four years of
international negotiation. The
general was participant in vir-
tually every vital decision taken
from 1945 to June, 1949.
Explains Douglas Resignation.
Some of the high points in the
book:
Ambassador Lewis Douglas re-
signed in 1945 as a top figure in
military government because he
believed the United States direc-
tive for handling Germany was
virtually unworkable.
The directive failed "to grasp
the realities of financial and eco
nomic conditions which confronted
u.s." Gen. Clay writes.
John Winant, wartime Ambas-
sador to London. in four power
negotiations was the man who op-
posed demanding specific legal
guarantees of access to Berlin
from the Russians. He felt such
demands would make them suspi-
cious. This failure gave the So
viets their opportunities to i'm
pose the Berlin blockade.
In constant negotiations with
Britain and France over dismantl.
ing and restricting of German in
dustries, Gen. Clay came to doubt
whether the negotiators were more
concerned with security or gain
ing economic advantages.
Mass Trials Unconvincing.
The mass American attempt al
denazif1cation may have been q
mistake. Gen. Clay expressed the
opinion that the mass trials die
not convince the Germans, ant
says, looking back, it might have
been more effective to have
selected a rather small number O.

you'd not have left Germany d.

would not have left Germany d.
yided.
The Generals record states the
French consistently opposed vir-
tually every United States move in
Germany toward getting Germany
either back on it's feet economic
ally or as political entity.
He said he found 1t hard to
realize that while the United States
was paying all the bills, it also
was expected to make all the
major concessions.

leading Nazis for trial without
attempting mass trials"
Gen. Clay's account Of negotia-
ions with Russia leaves little doubt
the East-West break would have
come no matter what the West
tried to do.
The former military governor
feels, however, that if the French
had not consistently opposed the
creation of four-power agencies in
1945 and 1916 as provided by Pots
dam, perhaps the East-West crisis

Keneipp Would Print
Names of VioIators

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp has suggested regular
publication of the names of per-
sons whose driving permits are
revoked or suspended.
Mr.. Keneipp, who will discuss
the proposal with the Commits
sioners Tuesday, said he thought
the move might have a good effect
on street safety, and might re-
duce unauthorized driving by per-
sons whose permits have been
taken away.
The traffic director said he
would put up 10 the city heads the
possibility of preparing regular
lists for release to the press.
Mr.. Keneipp said he noticed
such a list in a newspaper on a
visit to Rhode Island.
Former District Traffic Direc-
tor M. o. Eldridge, who said he
had noticed the same thing in
st. Petersburg, Fla, recalled that
such compilations were made
available here for a time some
years ago.

Fists Fly in Effort
By Laborer's Local
10 Depose Thomas

Fists few at Laborers' Hall
late yesterday as opposing fac
tions in the fight to oust Henry
Thomas as president of Local "a
of the AFL Building Laborers
Union sought to rally support.
First Precinct police were called
to break up a fist fight in front
of the hall at 523 New Jersey
avenue NV, between a shop
steward who supports Mr.
Thomas and a member who ran
unsuccessfully on the anti
Thomas slate in the last union
election. No arrests were made
Trial Held BY Local.
The fight broke out some hours
after Thomas G. Sampler, the To-
calls secretary treasurer, issued a
formal statement that the Execu-
tive Board had officially replaced
Mr.. Thomas and designated HUI
bert Ward, vice president, as
president pro tempore.
The committee acted after a
local trial board had ruled that
Mr.. Thomas was guilty of main
tanning Communist Affiliations.
After the committee meeting
Friday night, Mr.. Sempler said, q
Thomas supporter threatened tc
string up" members, of the Ex-
ecutive Board and followed him
and another Board member tc
their home. Mr.. Sampler reported
the incident to Ninth precinct
police and was told that patrol
men would keep watch over his
home.
Stays in Office,
Mr.. Thomas, meanwhile, con-
tinues to occupy the president S
office at local headquarters and
insists he will not move unless he
is voted out of Office. The next
membership meeting is scheduled
for November /.
Mr.. Thomas contends the Ex-
ecutive Board is Illegally con-
Stituted.
The charge of Communist af-
f1liation against him are without
foundation, according to Mr..
Thomas. He admits he was a
member of the Communist Party
until the spring of 1948 when he
resigned. Since then he has had
no afflliation with the party, he
says.

Chest Campaign

With 77% 10 Go
ST ,003 ,44l Collected
In District Area Is
Far Behind Last Year

The Washington areas $4,260,-
600 Red Feather drive is entering
its second report week today with
more than three quarters of the
way still to go.
Area wide subscriptions yester-
day stood at $1,0O3,441-slightly
more than % per cent of the goal.
Last year, after the first week S
reports, campaigners found them
selves over half finished with sub
scriptions totaling 81 million in
stead of the current 81 million.
But last years drive was paced
by a special group of "bellwether''
business firms which solicited early
and gave the campaign a head
start.
Drive Slowed Down.
Later, the drive slowed down,
and it wound up despite the rec
ord-smashing start more than
100000 short of it's goal.
Leaders this year. in addition to
trying to make up for this sizable
deficit which affected all of the
Chests 105 member agencies, also
have a bigger goal to shoot for.
Last years was $3,991, 900.
Part of the increase this year is
inspired by the country's military
mobilization. A total of $3.50 600
OF the current goal is earmarked
1or aid to servicemen and their
families during 1851.
This provision for servicemen
has won the Endorsement of mill
tary leaders, including Defense
Secretary Marshall, who have
called it vital community re-
sponsibility. Gen. Marshall called
for the success of the whole Chest
campaign, throughout the Nation,
as measure of the moral strength
.of the citizenry.

Mr.. Atlee said he knew the in.

draftees "is bound to be unpopu-

light of the difficult international
situation.
Generally speaking. and this
applies particularly to the more
highly skilled categories, men are
removed from the forces just
when they are beginning to be
most useful" he said.
At present, draftees are re-
quired after their period of service
to spend four years in the terri
torials-British equivalent of the
American National Guard. To
compensate for the longer draft.
the term in the territorials will be
reduced to three and a half years.
The pay increases for enlisted
men will range from IS per cent
for recruits to 331s per cent for
warrant officers. Recruits now re-
ceive % shillings ($3.82) a week.
Under the new scale all of them.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Prime Min
lister Attlee announced last night
a pay boost up to rs per cent and
extension of the draftees' 18-
month service to two years tc
strengthen Britain's armed forces
for defense.
In radio speech, Mr.. Atlee told
the nation his Labor government
decided to act for two compelling
reasons:
Present pay has attracted too
few recruits for the regular army,
navy and air force.
2-Drafted men serving only 18
months are barely trained when
they are released.
The pay increases, in which the
lowest ranks benefit most, will add
f68.5 million ($191.8 millionD to
the nations annual defense bill.
The longer draft term will keep
in uniform 1900 trained men
who otherwise would have been
returned to civilian life in the
next six months.
Raises Effective Tomorrow.
The necessary legislation will
be introduced at special session
of Parliament starting September
IL. The pay raises, however, will
be effective tomorrow. The longer
