Tripartite West Cycling Across Continent

German Military Govt. Planned

Frankfurt, Oct. 5.-The outlines of an Ameri- can plan for making the West German Military Government tripartite from top to bottom while drastically reducing its side and scope were disclosed by American sources here today.

The plan would abolish the United States, British and French Zones for all but garrisoning. purposes, and confine Allied executive intervention in German affairs to the centre.

It would give considerable relief to the Allied tax- payer by reducing staffs. The scheme would also give the Germans most of the things they hope for from the "occupation statute" which is to define the division of powers between a future German Government and the occupation authorities.

PWD LARCENY CASE CONTINUES

Court Given Estimated Cost Of Materials And Labour

A Naval Yard electrical technician this morning gave to the Kowloon Court a detailed account of the cost of materials and labour of the electrical installa- tions which he had inspected when he visited houses and non-Government properties which, PWD elec- tricians stated in their evidence, they were assigned to work with materials drawn from the PWD work- shop at Hunghom.

The witness, Harry Leonard Walter Aitken, an En- gineering Technical Officer, Grade I, of the Hongkong Navar Yard, will continue his evidence this afternoon, but of the seven non-Government establishments he mentioned this morning, he estimated that the material and labour cost for the installations amounted to about $10,844.
