Today housing space in Frank-
fort, Germany, is about as scarce
as a "Heil, Hitler" and borne -
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 cheek
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.
COLD JEEPS IN TOKYO
Lined up at Fifth Air Force Headquarters in Tokyo, these jeeps are quickly covered with a blanket of
wet snow as the heaviest fall in more than 20 years blanketed the city. GI in foreground leansforward

Highlights of the News
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King, will be withdrawn from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 �ApriI.

10,00 me.,_'1`,/?' the occupation air

ey did not participate in occupa
ui n duty.
Mr. King's announcement added
that the present shipping situation
"forecast all troops now in Ger-
many should be back in Canada by
September or October."
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 same
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 Por U.N.O.
Last week New York City was
officially chosen * as the temporary
world capital of the United Na-
tions Organization.
The UNO :rated to make , New
York its interim headquarters for
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 Canade
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
rner employees of the government
previously had been rounded up in
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
Here's Speedy Relief For
Tender, Aching,
Burg Feet
Your feet may be swollen and in-
flamed that you think you can't go
another step. Your shoes may feel
as if they are cutting tight Into the
flesh. You feel sick ail over with
the pain and torture; you'd Dive
anything to get relief.
Two or three applications of
Moone's Breerald 011 and in a tew
tninntes the pain and soreness dis-
appears.
No matter how discouraged you
have been, If you have not tried
Iimerald 011 then you have some-
thing to learn, let a bottle today at
all druggists,
others during the late war—far
more interesting and exciting.
There will be more in the future.
Nearly every corntry 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 !s
necessary. A judical inquiry is pro-
ceeding into charges against sus-
pected persons. It will be certain
to bring out the facts. 'Wise people
will wait for them.
Industri 1 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, an d 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 he 30 days 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 Poi -
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 problein.
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
body as a prelimini.ry to self-
government.

tary of the Interior, will serve as

signation of Harold L. Ickes. He is
