For months the aimy has been petting ready to receive them Under the direction of General Jacob L. ers, army field forces chief, it has worked out a. minutely-detailed training program to enable them to take over respon- lible duties as soon as possible.

Ten thousand go this month and 35,000 more during the next two months. The army feels these men fast if stand if it ignored the countiy's fear of German militarism. Foroign Minister Schuman has proved a reasonable man, recognizing that it is perfectly possible to revive Germany industry and at the same time control Its direction But he Is up against a phobia in his country.

The Anglo-American said when firemen arrived at 7.45 o'clock, the interior of the building was blazing "like the inside of a furnace." After firemen battled the fire about two hours, they finally brought it under con- tiol and subdued Their efforts were the flames. greatly hin- el i (which is of course a i promoted by the German administrators and with whom they must deal) is that industrial management must be laigely in German hands if the Ruhr's production Is to approach anything like its full potential. One of the gieat factors which has slowed down revival of the ministered exclusively by the British although guided by joint policy. And Trizonm will give us a di- i ect voice in the French zone, where we have been blamed for not exercising our powei to prevent large-scale Fiench booty-fication. But it's a very delicate business It must be earned out without upsetting the French applecait domestically Without encouraging the fotces which ai tending to squeeze out the Fiench center parties.

Already there is a tendency for division between socialists of the right and left, which could lead to an out-and-out contest between communists and De Gaullists without the modifying piesence of a third Troy Douthitt, who purchased the foice. In such a contest, at the mo- building in 1945 from Mrs. Gladys ment, the communists might have I Ellis. For about 30 years dered by a strong south wind. There was no equipment in the building, Johnson eaid.

Most of the damage was caused to one end 01 the building used as a stotage section. Thete were seveial cans of gasoline, kerosene and oil in the building, the assistant fire son Jeffries, Ellis. Several other large businesses are located in that section, including the Dr. Pepper Bottling Company, the B. Hall Wholesale Company and the Armour Company.

The fire did not spread to any of these buildings. Besides the fuel i Douthitt operated a lime trucking and freight delivery business. None of his several trucks used in the business was in the building at the time, it was reported. The origin of the fire was not determined, Johnson said. Many years ago the building was converted from an old mill, which also was destroyed by fire.

"Basic training" is the army term for military kindergarten. Recruits learn their left-right routine, how to fire a rifle, how mimstrative experts caught in the denazification net. Replacements have just not been available. Now these former representatives of nazi owners, having been cleared by the courts, are filteiing back into the mines and plants and production is going up.

They are being carefully watched, to see that their former ties with the Thys- sens, the Krupps and the like do not permit "ghost" control. But they are needed. Just what form the new tri- power control administrations will take is not yet clear. Presumably something new -will have to be worked out when the French move in. At present, the U.

S-U. K. coal control at Essen consists of dual organizations, from counterpart chairmen on down through all the echelons of administration including publicity men and stenographers. Decisions are reached through negotiation and compromise. High class men have made it work, but it would seem that only a miracle could produce efficiency auch an organization becomes three-way.

These things consume better part of a week. Then the 320-hour basic training starts in earnest.
