WASHINGTON—The War De- partment isn’t advertising the de- tails but it has completed plans for the occupation of Germany by American forces. The Allies have agreed the oc- cupation should be shared in roughly equal numbers by U. S, British and Soviet forces. This will permit the return to the United States of a maximum number of units, will also free thousands of trained men if necessary for polish- ing off the war against Japan. The chief problem involved is getting enough transports to rush the men home, plus sorting out those entitled to go home first. The matter will be decided by the Army’s “point demobilization sys- tem,” and millions of forms for computing each GI's service are being ptinted and shipped overseas. waitress, and Willard Wich, 33, con- | Minister Winston Churchill devoted struction worker, employed on a I a lot of study to rehabilitation prob- Morrison - Knudsen - project nearhnma and- the President expressed Fairbanks, both of whom were in- | satisfaction at the progress of the stantly killed in a collision with an 'Dumbarton Oaks security talks, say- Army truck, five miles outside of | ing the meetings, put together, were the city on the Richardson High-|a darn good batting average for way last Tuesday night. | agreement in post-war problems.
