RAID SHELTERS HOUSE GERMAN 'CAVE-DWELLERS' 1 * * â-  A « T 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. 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. 01 in foreground leans forward against wind. Highlights of the News Canadian Occupation Force The Canadian occupation force of 35,000 men, according to an announcement by Prime Minister King, will be withdrawn from Germany early in April.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 ^ir 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 back in Canada by September or i^ctober." Mr. King pointed out that Can- ada, unlike the big nations, was not one of the occupying powers and â- 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 For U.N.O. Last week New York City was officially chosen as the temporary â- world capital of the United Na- tions Organization. The UNO --oted 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 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 appointmert of two Royal Commissioners to inquire into "disclosures of secret and confidential information to un- authorized persons, including some members of the staff of a foreign mission Ottawa." The per.sons involved in the case are said to include some present and former employees of a num- ber of departments and agencies of the Canadian Governinent. Twenty-two employees or for â-  mer employees of the government previously li.id 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 t'le Ottawa Citizen.

Nearly every coi ntry has a secret service; and every country uses it if it thinks its security is threat- ened or a rivalry in armaments if becoming dangerous to it. So a sense of proportion it 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 phnse of World Wat II's period of industrial strifd 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 â€" for the moment at Itast, 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 lie 30 days before full pro- duction is achieved. Halifax Black Market A huge black market organisa- 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 «t- tempt to settle the Indian problem. A special mission composed oi three CaJjiiict members will go to India next month to try again to break the deadlock with Indian pohtical leaders over the forma- tion of a constitution-making body as a preliminary to seli- governnicnt.
