Berlin boroughs obeyed soviet
instructions' to stay on the1 job

- The United States' plan-, was
to take- governmental control
of its zone at midnight Wednes
day. The British-had hoped,, to
get their Berlin government, op
erating by- tomorrow,- but -this
appeared- indefinitely, delayed.
The soviet representatives, it
was learned, had- declined to
make food reserves in the soviet
zone available to any - district
controlled, by the other allies
pending conclusion: of a barter
deal on the highest levels' under
which the Russians would be
paid in kind for food.
Although this was the third
day. of the government muddle
as far as the Americans were
concerned, their direct relations
with Russian officers in the
various boroughs continued to
be marked by warm cordiality.
But the Americans were vis
ibly puzzled, if not chagrined,

Fifth Army To Be Broken
Up; Divisions To Return
By SID FEDER
CASERTA, Italy, July 7 VP)
The veteran fifth army which
battled-up the Italian boot from
the Salerno shinbone to the Ty
rolean kneecap is about to be
broken up.- i'
By next February five of its
seven divisions and both its reg
imental combat teams will have
been sent back to America.
The 85th (Custer) division will
lead the movement back home
starting in August. This division,
which underwent -14 months of
combat duty in Italy, will be the
first all-selective, service divi
sion in- the U. S. army to be de
activated, fifth army headquar
ters announced.
Headquarters- gave this line-.
has given the army more than
$192,000,000,000 and it has
spent more than 9150,000,000,
000, exclusive of $21,000,000,
000 recently voted for the. cur
rent fiscal year.
Exceed Valuation
' By the middle of 1946, Engle
estimated, total army appropri
ations since 1941 will exceed
by 964,000,000,000 the assessed
valuation of "every piece of
property, real- and -personal, in
the 48 states as. it was assessed
in 1941." . ..
As a result of many first-hand
investigations, Engel said, he
had complained often of "the
outrageous waste of the tax
payers' money" on various army
projects. He added "the war de
partment was apparently oblivi
ous and kept on wasting
money."
"I wonder what would hap
pen if the public got a complete
resume of the dollars wasted
by this and other departments
of government, as I hope it will
some day," he said.
