Dutch To End
Revolution
BATAVIA, Java (^Pi—'The Dutch
commission general for the Neth
erlands East Indies split wide open
today, apparently as a result of
the Hague government’s decision
to sign immediately the C her bon
pact to end the 19-month-long In
donesian revolution.
One of the three original mem
bers of the five-man commission—
Feiki Deboer, who generally i«
considered representative of Dutch
commercial interests — announced
he was quitting and two members
—designate— Prof. S. O. Posthu
ma, financial and economic advis
er, and J. H. W. Verzijl, political
legal adviser—said they would re
fuse to accept appointment to the
commission.
To Keep U. S. Mar
shal At McGrath
Decision has been made by At
torney General Clark not to close
the United States Marshal’s office
at McGrath following opposition
expressed by Delegate Bartlett and
residents of McGrath to the pro
posed move.
The original plan to close *he of
fice was made, according to Just
tice Department officials, because
of need for economy with n the
department. Delegate Bartlett ex
pressed his belief that it is not
good economy to cut down govern
ment expenditures at the expense
of law enforcement, and his rep
resentations were heeded.
Always do more than you prom
ise, rather than promise more than
you do.

Slop German Steel
Flowing To Russia
BERLIN, l/R)—A jo.nt British-]
American announcement said to
day that British and American au
thorities had sharply reduced ship
ments of German iron and steel to
the Soviet /.one and were consid
ering a total embargo because the
Russian zone has failed to fulfill
terms of a trade agreement.
The joint statement said the Sov
iet zone was lagging far behind its
commitments under the agreement
with the combined American-Brit
ish zone to delive- foodstuffs and
various other materials in ex
change for steel and iron.
On the other hand, the state
ment said, deliveries of iron and
steel up to the end of February
had fulfilled 95 per cent of the
British-American commitment.
“This failure of the Russians1
has placed the United States-Brit- >
ish zone in an extremely difficult
position,” the statement asserted.
