RAID SHELTERS HOUSE GERMAN 'CAVE -DWELLERS'
:;3cya-:aha\:
Today housing space in Frank-
fort, Germany, is about as scarce
as a "Heil, Hitler" and home-
hungry Frankforters have been
driven underground to find liv-
ing quarters. A chain of former
air-raid shelters under the bomb -
wrecked city is being turned into
hostelries. Photos here are views
of the "Hotel Cabin" under the
main railroad station. At left,
above, guests enter and emerge
from the concrete "lobby". After
formal registration, they check
their valuables, as at right above,
and are shown to their "rooms."
These consist of tiny cubicles,
partitioned off with tarpaulins, as
seen at right. This hotel accom-
modates 220 persons, who pay
3 • marks per night.

:Ii hli hts of th Ne s
Canadian Occupation Force
The Canadian occupation force
of 25,000 men, according to an
announcement by Prime Minister
King, will be withdrawn from
Germany early in April.
Air Minister Gibson previously
had announced the withdrawal of
. 10,000 men in the occupation air
force would start June 30. The
Navy did not participate in occupa
tion duty.
Mr. King's announcement added
that the present shipping situation
"forecast all troops now in Ger-
many should be baclr in Canada 5y
September or r ctober."
Mr. King pointed out that Can-
ada, unlike the big nations, was not
one of the occupying powers and
was not a member of the Allied
Control Commission. At the sane
time other European allies, not in
a position to supply contingents
at the beginning of the occupation,
"are now becoming increasingly
able to share in occupation duties."
_ Headquarters For U.N.O.
Last week New York City was
officially chosen as the temporary
world capital of the United Na-
tions Organization.
The UNO voted to make New
York its interim headquarters i}r
the next five years and then to
move to a permanent world capital
to be built in the Fairfield -West-
chester area of Connecticut and
New York State.
Spy Ring In Canada
Last week it was reported that
two Canadian Government em-
ployees had been detained pending
further investigation of charges
that they had been communicating.
information to a foreign power.
Prime Minister Mackenzie King
announced the appointment of two
Royal Commissioners to inquire
into "disclosures of secret and
confidential information to un-
authorized persons, inc'uding some
members of the staff of a foreign
mission Ottawa."
The persons involved in the case
are said to include some present
and former employees of a num-
ber of departments and agencies
of the Canadian Government.
Twenty-two employees or for
mer employees of the government
previously had been rounded up ;n
Canada in connection with the
investigation.
It would be just as well for
people to keep their heads about
this espionage story, suggests the
Ottawa Citizen. There have been

Nearly every country has a secret
service; and every country uses it
if it thinks its security is threat-
ened or a rivalry in armaments is
becoming dangerous to it.
So a sense of proportion is
necessary. A judical inquiry is pro-

Industri t Strife In U.S.
The first phase of World Wat
II's period of industrial strife
seems definitely ending.
With the steel strike settlement
achieved, it appeared improbable
that the General Motors strike
could last much longer.
Peace has been achieved in the
oil, meatpacking, and steel in-
dustries, and in the electric
appliance industry the Electric Di-
vision of General Motors has
signed a contract with the union,
although 174,000 General Electric
and Westinghouse workers are
still out.
Many tie-ups of public utilities
are over—for the moment at least.
Hundreds of wage adjustments
have been made without any strike
at all, yhich never got into the
newspapers.
On nearly every front industrial
conditions look better.
A spokesman for United States
Steel said most of the corporation's
employees should be back at work
by the end of next week, but that
it may be 30 clays before full pro-
duction is achieved.
Halifax Black Market
A huge black market organiza-
tion stretching from Halifax into
inland Canada has been uncovered
by Royal Canadian Mounted Pol-
ice. The theft ring involved hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise, mostly ex-
pensive British textiles.
Mission To India
Britain is making another at-
tempt to settle the Indian problem.
A special mission composed of
three Cabinet members will go to
India next month. to try again to
break the deadlock with Indian
political leaders over the forma-
tion of a constitution -making
