President Truman today formal

Germany at an end.
A proclamation decreed that the

last Friday-October 19-when
Congress completed legislation re-

The legislation was enacted in

some time ago when the President
pointed out that it was desirable
to remove Germany from it's pres
ent enemy status.
The President repeated this in
today's proclamation when he
also reiterated that this Govern
ment had wanted to conclude a
treaty of peace with the govern
ment of a united free Germany
but had been blocked by Russia.

Busline Chief SAYS

Striking w. M. & A. busline
employees still have an opportunity
to return to work, but their ole
seniority ratings will be replaced
by a new list, Leslie L. Altman
company president, said today.
Mr.. Altman said the strikers
lost their seniority privileges when
they refused to heed a warning
to return to work yesterday.
He said the company would con-
'tinue to hire new drivers and
mechanics on a permanent basis
and that any strikers who chose
to come back would have to take
their place on the seniority list
in the order in which they re-
turned.
Mr.. Altman was firm in as
serting that five employees charged
with vandalism never would be
allowed to work for the company
again.
This issue caused recurrence of
the strike, hours after the union
had agreed to accept a pay raise
offered by the company.
The company thus far has
hired IA or is new men and now
is operating about 20 buses daily.
Eight drivers are being trained
and will be assigned routes in a

For Arlington Wafer

The Commissioners have con-
Cured in a proposal of the Army
Engineers to raise the wholesale
rate for water supplied to Ar
Ilington by the District from $50
to $7370 per million gallons.
At the $50 rate fixed in 1884.
Arlington's water bill amounted to
about $250.000 year for water
taken from the Dalecarlia filer
plant.
1t had been proposed earlier to
raise the rate to $66.25 per mil
lion gallons, but this figure since
has been revised. Arlington Of
1cials said today that the latest
increase had been anticipated
when new rates to county con-
sumers effective July l were fixed.
Therefore, there will be no further
increase for Arlington consumers,
it was said.
The Army Engineers who handle
the production of the Districts
water, propose to seek the higher
wholesale rate effective next
