It is going to be a Germany without army, navy or air force; without war industries; without warplotting general staff; without Nazi heile; without Prussian gooe?-step-ping. (That is the vow sealed by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Wineton Churchill, and Premier Joseph Stalin at the Crimean conference. “It is not our purpose to destroy the people of Germany,” they said. But Germans can have a decent life only with the complete elimination of Nazism and militarism. “It is our inflexible purpose to destroy German militarism and Nazism and to ensure that Germany will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world,” they said. And here is how they intend to do it: il. “Disarm and disband all German armed forces.” 2. “Break up for all time the German general staff that has repeatedly contrived the resurgence of German militarism.” 3. ‘'Remove or destroy all German military equipment.” 4. “Eliminate or control all German industry that could .be used for military production." 5. “Bring all war criminals to just and swift punishment.” 6. "Exact reparation in kind for the destruction wrought by the Germans.” 7. "Wipe out the Nazi party, Nazi laws, organizations and institutions. 8. "Remove all Nazi and militarist influences from public office and from the cultural and economic life of the German people.” 9. “Take in harmony such other measures in Germany as may be necessary to the future peace and safety of the world.” — o Saturday's Accident Termed Unavoidable From the sentence construction in the news item describing the auto accident 'between the Ira Sprunger auto and the G. E. station wagon, driven by Mrs. Helen Kirsch, chauffer for the General Electric company, it might have been inferred that 'the station wagon struck the Sprunger car. While the accident was unavoidable, , Mr. Sprunger took all blame for the collision. He said he lost control of his car on ths icy pavement and skidded to the opposite side of the highway. Mre. Kirsch attempted to avoid the crash and ran the station wagon off to the side o’ the road. The Sprunger car almost cleared the station wagon, striking the front, and then rebounding across the highway, ramming the G. E. car in the center. Mr. Sprunger reported the accident to the Allen county sheriff, with the explanation that he could not avoid the ■crash. - Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
