Potsdam A Singular

Failure

(By Wes. Gallagher)

Berlin, Sept. 29.

Tó followers of German affairs here it has become apparent that events are proving the Potsdam conference a singulaf failure as an interna- tional meeting to solve the German problem. The Potsdam "agreement" has created more problems than it was designed to solve. Four Power Government in Germany, as repre- sented by the Allied Control Council, has come to a virtual standstill because of "diplo- matic blunders" made in and in relation to the Potsdam conference.

Not All Marriages Are Made In Heaven

(By Willa Martin)

New York, Sept. 20... Not all marriages between American servicemen and British women were made in heaven. Some of them already have cracked up. The chief cause, says Eileen Patterson of the Eng- lish Speaking Union, is that many American soldiers married too young to realize what res- ponsibilities they were incurring.
