Powers Divided Over West German Statute
(11 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 17.
The three Western Military Governors who have been discussing the occupation statute at Frankfurt were unable to agree at their meeting yesterday and are referring the statute back to their Governments, says the Times correspondent in Frankfurt. Differences have arisen particularly over the question of who is to interpret the statute in cases of disputes and who is to be responsible, the central Government or the German States, for collecting the occupation costs.
A new six-Power conference is likely to be called. Both the "Benelux” countries and the Dominions have recently indicated their continued interest in the terms of occupation and would require to see the statute before it is given to Germany.
