ARMY TO CONTINUE
GERMAN ADMINISTRATION TRAINING OF CIVILIANS (9 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The United States Army will continue to administer its zone in Germany until a small civilian group supported by the Army and deemed necessary could take over control, said the Secretary of State, Mr. James Byrnes.
General Eisenhower and the Secretary for War, Mr. R. Patterson, had approved the plan with some reluctance. President Truman has endorsed it.
It is stated that General Eisenhower proposed when he was Allied commander in Germany that the Army should give up its administration on January 30.
Mr. Byrnes said he hoped that a centralised Allied administration could be established soon. A plan had been approved by Britain, America and Russia, but was blocked by Prance.
