on what cuts might be made with
out imperiling American aims and
upsetting the balance between the
western allies and Russia.
One top evel, though off-the
cuff, estimate was that the- num
ber of American troops might be
pared more than half without
risking trouble with the German
population in the U. S. zone.
A new and uncertain element
was introduced, however, by
Prime Minister Attlee's proposal
to slash British military commit
ments as part of the labor govern
ment's drastic- new effort to bol
ster Britain's sagging economy.
The army s position is that with
Germany divided, international
relations clouded and Russia's
ratification of the satellite peace
treaties delayed, the 150,000 or
so American troops in Europe are
a rock bottom minimum.
That position has been under
urgent review, however, because
the size of the occupation forces
was based on a regular army
establishment with total strength
of 1,070,000 authorized by con
gress, while -with the decline in
voluntary enlistments . it has
shrunk to fewer than 1,000,000.

two major additions to the present
Salem telephone building, work

architect for the additions, and

construction, according to Collins,
will be $100,000 in re-arrange
ments and additions or cable,

14,000 telephones served by the
present exchange, an increase of
more than 3,000 since V-J day

5,000 since 1941. Over 2,000 orders
for phones remain on order, he
added. .s-

Court Queries
JVext Step in
Buying Camp
In a request to the Portland
office of the war assets adminis
tration this week Marion county
court will ask for clarification of
its duties in disposing of Salem
army air base property now used
as a farm labor camp.'
A letter received by the court
last week from H. E. Higgins,
WAA representative, asks the
court to designate a transferee
for the county so that the trans
action, might be closed. The coun
ty court is exercising its priority
in the purchase of the property
for $11,185, on behalf of the Sa
lem Agricultural Housing, Inc.,
for use as a farm labor camp.
The court intends to . turn the
property over to the corporation
of ' business men, processors and
growers who make up the cor
poration. It is asking the WAA to
clarify a regulation which pre
sumably requires the court to hold
the property' for a designated
time before it can turn it over to
the priyate group.
Bruce Spaulding and William
Linfoot, local attorneys who have
conferred with the court in be
half of the business men and
growers, will handle future nego
tiations, in conjunction with the
Marion county district attorney's
offjee, the court said.

Meet Again Today
Company and union negotiators,

He said a strike was approved
for "no later than Tuesday" but
later declared "strike action will
be taken as soon as we can ar
