Policing of Germany

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. — An-

ference raised great hope here today that the meeting in the Black sea area. is reaching real - agreement on Europe's peace-time. future and the style of “Germany's post-surrender straitjacket. President Roosevelt, Prime Min{ster Churchill and Premier Stalin have agreed on the strategy to insurg Germany's military defeat. Now they have begun political and economic talks. These latter are the-key to the future, perhaps the amost’ important conversations in the memory of any, living person. The world will “pay for any mistakes made on the Black sea shores and benefit from all wise decisions.

Policing of Germany

Mr. Roosevelt. is believed to have told Churchill and Stalin that the United States prefers not to participate in the ultimate, long-term

Occupation plans are expected to put Berlin in joint Anglo-American-Russian custody, Russian troops would occupy eastern Germany, British troops northwestern Germany, and American ‘troops southwestern Germany. ~~ Early plans called for Anglo-American occupation of the Rhineland. It is likely that France now will share in that. Some officials ‘here sal of occupation in terms of “until 2000 A. D.” —a matter of 50 to 55 years. President Roosevelt, however, is be” lieved to feel that the American people would not accept such direct responsibility for the peace of Europe on such long terms. Churchill is understood to have felt—at least at one time-~-that the Americans would ‘and should accept responsibility for keeping armed forces in Europe for many years.

Stalin Reported Last

To Arrive at Parley

By SAM SOUKI United Press Staff Correspondent CAIRO, Fel, 8.—President Roose-; velt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin opened their conference Monday at a town somewhere in the Black sea area which earlier in the war teemed with German troops, it was reported today. Mr. Roosevelt. and Churchill reached the rendezvous first, They worked like beavers while waiting for Stalin's arrival some time Sunday afternoon, according to reliable reports here. Five-star American generals, British field “marshals and Soviet military leaders were believed to have started their conferences six

It is understood that task is to be ‘assigned to Great Britain and | the Soviet Union with the possible assistance of France: We would participate directly in| post-war occupation, but for al limited time only. . ; Compromises by all three toward mutual over-all agreements generally are expected. Assurance that U. 8. troops would not be among the semi-permanent European police detail could count heavily toward, winning American’ acceptance of such compromises as the President may have to make.

Both Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill are reported planning to speed directly home from the conference to rally public support. Tentatively scheduled side trips apparently have been abandoned. " Official ‘announcement that the Roosevelt-Stalin-Churchill ‘meeting |

Entering New Phase

In search of “firm foundations for a lasting peace,” the conferees

now have begun the other phase of | their conference. : “These discussions,” fhe communique said, “will cover .joint plans for the occupation and con-! trol of Germany, the political and | economic problems of liberated Europe and proposals for the earliest possible establishment of a per-| manent international organization | to maintain peace.” Language of the progress report communique committed the con-| ferees to discussion of “joint plans” | for Europe's political and economic future, That is a large order. An-| othér communique was promised when the conference ends. t General Black sea conference | plans for post-war Germany are understood to be as follows: | ONE-—Destruction of Germany's war-making potential centered in heavy industry, the aviation industry and the synthetics industry. TWO—Prevention of German living standards from improving more rapidly than those of her ravished neighbors.

THREE—Assurance that Germany shall ‘aid in reconstruction of her neighbors’ economies, notably by provision of materials and forced labor, Mr. Roosevelt is known to have been strongly convinced that Germany must survive in some form, but tailored. geographically. He is believed to be proposing that Russia shall be separate from all else in Germany—Prussia being damned as the seat of German belligerency. But the extent to which Germany shall be further dismembered—if at aH—is" subject to discussion,

Clamp on Aviation

Germany would be deprived of airplanes and submarines, the facilities to manufactufe- them, ‘and, possibly, the privilege of teaching her people to fly.

Indi~ anapolis) said the bill would mere=~ ly legalize what the Democrats already have been doing under the merit law, “The state personnel board has been manipulating the eligible lists to get their favored workers in the jobs,” he said. The bill would abolish all eligible lists for the duration of the war, permitting appointment of any person tga job without taking examinations. : Charges Trick The senate voted to transfer the bill for a war veterans state bonus from Judiciary A committee to the finance committee. “This is a trick to kill the bill by legislative delay,” said Senator Leo Stemle, (D. Jasper). The skip-election bill that’ would postpone - the balloting for mayors next year to 1947 was scheduled to be called to the tloor of the senate today for passage. Senator John Van Ness (R. Valparaiso) Republican majority® leader, said a poll of the senate indicated the measure “probably will be passed.” The bill, if passed, would give Mayor Tyndall an extra year in office and separate all municipal elections from general balloting for state, federal and county offices.

Submit Code Proposals

The Republican majority leaders finally got around to submitting their amendments to the new state election code. Amendments, however, are far different than the. drastic. changes proposed under the original code submitted in the senate by the state election commission headed by Will H. Adams. The only change in the present election laws proposed by G. O. P. leaders. in the amendments is the
