Tidal Yave
Sinks Ship
: LE HAVRE, France, Dec.
(A) The German-built liner Eu
rope, renamed the Liberte by the
French, snapped her moorings
'in a ale-iriven tidal wave to
day, gashed -her side against har
bor wreckage and sank into the
mud on a 6hallow side of the
Le Havre basin.
The 49,746-ton vessel assigned
to France as war reparations,
settled with a heavy list upon
- recession of the tidal wave,
which had caused the sea to rise
three feet above normal. How
ever, a rising tide later rigCited
her, indicating she had retained
some buoyancy.
An official of the General
Transatlantic company said
there was no danger that she
would be a total loss. Divers
stood about, ready to check on
the extent of the damage when
the weather moderated.

I merit had to take a skeleton
staff of the veterans who re

most critical period of the occu

from the main policy-making
centers, young American combat
veterans, drafted from regular
army duties, have had to take
over functions of government
with which they are unfamiliar.
Yet you can't watch these
men at work without feeling
that a majority are doing the

hours. They get bitter over all

American press of the caliber of

To fill the vacancies in key
headquarters posts vacated by
