HEL SANTA -ROSA; r.MWi Allies Plan Stern Measures to Keep Germany 'Straight' Bv VIRGIL PINKLEY advance in connection with any aspect of control over Germany. countries such as Belgium, Yugoslavia, Holland and Norway con United Press War Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 30 (UP) The Allies probably will adopt a Program midway between converting Germany Into a strictly agrarian country and breaking: the Reich up Into a number of small states or imposing a "soft" peace, the United Press learned today from a number of excellent sources. But it appears certain that the Allies will Insist on applying two basic controls to prevent Germany from preparing for another war, once defeat comes. These are, first, the military occupation of Germany for at least two years, and, if conditions permit, lessening of the control gradually for five to eight additional years.

The second control will be rigid supervision of all lmnortant This industrial economic setup would enable the Germans to maintain a decent living standard. All Germany's actions would come under constant study of Allied experts who would communicate to their respective governments what actually is happening inside Germany. These governors, or commissioners, if they exercised their powers wisely, could prevent any secret rearming or long-range programs designed to create undercover armies or groups of trained glider pilots who quickly could become fighter and bomber pilots. The Russians, it is understood, are in favor of German factories producing clothes to rehabilitate peoples in occupied countries and equipment to reconstruct scorched -earth areas or districts which the Germans leveled, such as Rotterdam, Belgrade, and Warsaw. The Russians also undoubtedly will seek to utilize a number of young Germans to rebuild vast areas, since in Soviet Russia there is probably more work than workers, i The United Press was reliably informed that Britain, Russia and the United States will insist on taking any and all measures to cope with situations as they arise, including more drastic measures if the Germans attempt any moves to regain their military strength or to lay foundations on which to build another military machine which would challenge Europe or plunge the world into a third, and still more horrible and costly conflict.

Three major developments must precede the establishment of anything like a return to normal conditions inside the Reich. The first of these is unconditional surrender. The second is that Allied occupation will be accomplished scone by zone, with the Russians occupying the eastern portions of Germany, the British the northwest and the Americans the southwest. The third development is the destruction of all German arms, Including aircraft, ships, tanks, guns, ammunition and explosives. As the Allies plan the postwar control of Germany, many small sianuy are reminding Britain and America that a "soft peace" would only breed and speed another world war.

They say that until people are ruled by the Germans ft is virtually impossible to understand or appreciate the methods the Germans use in following their conquest. Through wartime experience, the Allies learned how to control imports which should provide an effective check to keep Germany and later Japan, too from acquiring the necessary stockpiles with which to build up a new military machine. Under the plans which are shaping up, each raw material and the amount of it imported Into the Reich would require a definite permit, and proof of the use of previous materials. The Allies, it is understood, plan to convert German factories into producing peacetime consumer goods most urgently needed by peoples In countries either directly or indirectly ravaged by war. exports and imports into the Reich and on the type of industrial i-mpui we Kcn iiseir will be permitted to make.

Seiloo had apparently toppled headlong into the gully while attempting to sit on the concrete side railing of the culvert, officers said. From the position of his body it appeared that he had landed on the back of his head and shoulders, breaking his neck. The grim discovery was made by three women residents of Hawks' Haven, who were walking into Guerneville about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
