IMS Number 10483 German Ondustfry Poses Problem For Peacetime By AUSTIN BEALMEAR PARIS. June 18 (!) German Industry, twice the arsenal of aggression, is almost non-existent today as the allies await de termination of how it can come to life safely without again en dangering world peace. Some German plants several hundred in number, have been permitted to reopen for production which the military govern ment considers essential, but present allied regulations permit German plants to reopen only if their products are wanted by the allied armies or if production is essential to maintain a mini mum standard of life for tho German civilian population. The management of the Krupp works, steel and munitions manufacturing organisation, has submitted a request to resume production, without stating what it wanted to produce. The re quest said production was necessary for the reconstruction of Germany. The application was returned for more details. Potontlally Dangerous Industries Officers of Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow's U. S. 15th army tho unit which by virtue of its occupation of the Saar and Rhine valleys and part of the Ruhr has been guarding the center of Germany's productive might have recommended that both Krupp and I. G. Fcrbcn-lndustrie be operated by special com missions, on tho grounds that the organizations ore too big and otcntia lv too dangerous to he lumped witn ordinary inunuiut- turcrs in the control problem. This summary of the present status of industrial control in Germany is based on reports to 15th army headquarters. The present enforced shutdown of German production, is In an interim stage in the complete transformation of the nation, Gerow's headquarters said. Presumably Germany, will produce again under controls designed to eliminate any war potential but pending allied control council determination of how this can be done, Germany's economic activity will be kept tightly re stricted. During this transitory stage, control of German production is exercised essentially at the level of Several headquarters con trolling the allied occupational armies.1 : G-4 Supervises Problem Overall supervision is In the hands of army G-4, expediters of all matters of supply. Problems are parcelled out by indus tries to special staff sections whose military assignments were such as to make them most familiar with the problems peculiar to individual businesses. Every manufacturer in Germany today must be licensed under this control machinery before he can open his plant. In the Rhine province military district 108 permits to open food processing plants have been granted to date. Sixty of these are flour and grain mills. The Ford Motor plant at Cologne, relatively undamaged by the war, had material on hand for making about 500 trucks. It was ordered to reopen and produce the vehicles. DPPOSTION T 0 BIG I VETO CRACKS By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Associated Press Diplomatic News Editor SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (P) Small nation opposition to a Big Five veto over future changes in a world security charter Is cracking up, and leaders of the big power bloc hope to win out on this issue tonight. It Is one of three which con ference committees are strug gling to wipe out this weekend in line with a high-speed sched ule which calls for President Truman to address a final ses sion of the United Nations con ference next Saturday. Two Issues The other two controversies are: 1. Whether colonial powers, such as Britain and France, should be directed to make re ports on their colonics to the proposed new leagues. Australia proposes that they" should. The two big powers object. 2. Whether the projected gen eral assembly of United Nations should be empowered to debate any aspect of international re lations or only matters con cerned with peace and security. This is an old Issue, previously settled over Russian objection In favor of the right to debate any International affair. But Russia has Insisted that it be re-opened, demanding the peace-and-sccurlty restriction.

ARBOGAST WASF""OTON, June 18 (P) General of the Army George C. Marshall, Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King and General A. A. Van degrlft, marine corns command ant, told congress today uni versal military training was the foundation of the. nation's fu ture security. The starred and braided mili tary leaders were the final wit nesses before the house postwar military committee as it con cluded, except for congressional witnesses next week, two weeks of hearings on the controversial peacetime draft proposal. They followed Navy Secre tary James V. Forrestal, two admirals and a general, all of whom backed the proposal. "To support our determina tion to maintain the peace," General "arshall told the com mittee, "the world must recog nize our military power as real istic and not as a remote po tential." The answer to preparedness, he asserted, lies not in a large standing army, which he said would be "remignai.t to the American people," but In a sys tem of universal training "to gether with an effective pro gram for Industrial mobilization and continuous scientific research."

By LEONARD MILLIMAN Associated Press War Editor Three widely separated allied fleet movements were reported by Tokyo radio today, involving a threatened-third invasion of Borneo, the first naval bom bardment of the by-passed Truk: island fotress, and "suddenly in. creased" activity in Okinawa waters. The three unconfirmed ac tions were about 2500 miles apart at the points of a triangle reaching up to Japan's home waters, deep into the Dutch In dies and well out into the Pa cific. -, More than 20 warships, in cluding a carrier and three bat tleships; were said to be Hear ing Balikpapan, Borneo's major oil refinery center. The report coincided with an allied an nouncement that Australian troops had seized all initial ob jectives of their second Borneo invasion, begun only last Sun day, with the - capture of their third airfield on Brunei bay. New Blow Hinted A great increase in American naval forces around Okinawa, Tokyo said,, "may point to an enemy scheme to launch fresh, operations against the Japanese homeland." .. With less than 10,000 mostly second rate Japanese troops left on Okinawa, the "final phase" of the ground campaign on this naval and air base island will be over in less than a week, said Lt. Gen." Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr., whose' tenth army troops narrowed the Nipponese hold to eight square miles. ' ' Bombard Truk Naval bombardment of Truk, Tokyo said, was carried out yes terday by two: cruisers and four destroyers" fn: conjunction with a carrier attack which reached its third successive day today. The Japanese offered no explan ation for this attack, presum ably .by British forces, .on -the once mighty Nipponese base in the Caroline islands. Tokyo also reported more than 25 Superforts made four mine-laying expeditions into Japanese waters during the early morning hours. These mines are taking an unknown toll of the mikado's shipping in addition to the daily announced bags of air raiders. Today's re ports listed 14 coastal vessela and scnooners suns ana six wrecked on the ways mostly in Shanghai' waters. . While hundreds of American warships, loaded cargo vessels and landing craft are pouring into Okinawa waters, Tokyo said, U. S. naval patrols have been extended to within 200 miles of Japan.
