three points for discussion. Two

The occupying powers also. re-
tain the right to review any in

many may make to insure that
they do not conflict with Allied
interests.
The decision to relax the occu-
patton controls was made by the
foreign ministers of the United
States, Britain and France last
September in New York.
Final action on implementing
the decision was delayed until now
by German hesitation at accept
ing full responsibility for the pre-
war debts of Hitler's Reich and
for paying back the some SO
billions in aid given by the Allies
since the war.
Last month Bonn finally ac-
cepted these responsibilities after
regard was given to West Ger
many's present size compared
with the former Reich, and to its
resultant ability to pay. Urre-
deemed prewar securities are es-
timated to total about 81 billion.
Communique Issued.
The Allied communique an
nouncing the new statute said:

the Allied High Commission has
approved the immediate establish

the federal government to enter

with friendly nations and to ex-
change diplomatic representatives
with them. Foreign diplomatic
and consular representatives on
federal territory will normally be
accredited to the federal republic. .
The agreement is to be put be-
fore the Bonn Parliament for rati-

Exceptionally High Volume.
In appraising the financial re-
suits of 1850 operations" said the
joint statement by Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Sloan, "it is we'll to bear in
mind that GINS 1850 profits were
earned in a year of exceptionally
high volume.
I'm high-volume years profits
rise more sharply than do sales.
In years of poor business. on the
other hand, profits fall more
sharply than do sales. Profits
f1uctuate in this way because an
important portion of costs is fixed
and must be met whether business
is good or bad"
"If profits were not to fuc-
tuate," they continued, prices
would have to be increased in
periods of low volume but would
fall in periods of high volume.
Such a policy would not be de-
sirable nor would it be practical
in an industry like the automotive
industry in which any approach
to pricing is subject to the impact
of both costs and competition"

La Prensa Publisher
Charged With State
Security Violation
BY the Assoeioied Press

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 6.-The
government of President Juan D.
Peron announced today charges
of violating state security" have
been lodged against Alberto Gain
"a Paz, editor and publisher of
the strikebound anti-Peron news
paper La Prensa.
The charges against Mr.. Gainza
Paz "and others" were not ex-
planned. They have not been ar
rested, nor have papers been
served on them.
Pa Prensa has been unable to
publish for 40 days because of
the action of two pro-Peron
unions-the news vendors and
printers-whose demands have
closed it down.
The law covering state security
covers wide field, including trea-
SON. plotting. spying and so forth.
1t was invoked against several
hundred railwaymen, now in Jail
for participation in an Illegal
strike.
The unions action closed La
Prensa 40 days ago after the gov
ernment press complained that La
Prensa had supported the strike in
January against the national rail-
ways. Demands of the vendors
included an end to direct sales of
the newspaper to subscribers and
a share for the vendors in classi-
fed advertising revenue.
Last night Federal Judge Rob-
erto Durrieu ordered the La Prensa
plant returned to the papers con-
troll. Shortly after, with the dis
closure of charges against the pub
Usher. police reordered the plant
closed.
Judge Durrieu is heading an in
veStigation into the death of Rob-
erto Nunez. a loyal printer, and
injuries to Is other loyal employees
in the futile February q attempt
of the employees to pass union
picket line and reopen the paper.
1t was after the bloody incident
that police first padlocked the
plant.

Prospects appeared brighter to-
day that the Senate Public Works

Meanwhile, the Budget Bureau
cleared up confusion over decen-
tralization, the moving of agencies
to other cities, as distinct from
dispersal, the scattering of agen-
cies in outlying areas around the :,

It developed that the Budget
Bureau has an "a" list Of agencies
with about 5000 employees which
it has schedules for removal to
other cities within 80 to 30 days.
Next comes a list-possibly a "B"
list-of agencies with $4,000 work.
ers scheduled to be moved away
within year. Additional special
lied defense agencies with 5000
employees which are scheduled for
moving brings the decentralization
total to $4,000.
Figures Cause Confusion. -,
The committee was confused by
reports overwhelmingly con-
firmed by a high Budget Bureau
omcial-that decentralization had
been scaled down from $4,000 to
5000. Later it was explained that
the 5000 referred only to the "a"
list.
Senator Chavez remarked. as he
has before. that he personally
hopes that the number involved
in decentralization will reach
