Show Allied High Common BeDisb CHV1 lay ided Commands ATSC Br ECUEL 8. &IOOSE United Press Staff Correspondent: ' WASHtNCSTON, May 12 0JJD -.Military observers here believe be-lieve today that the Allied high command in Europe under Gen. D wight E. Eisenhower may not be needed much longer. Tne high command is familiar-lyknown familiar-lyknown to war correspondents SHAEF. which stands for nrm hMilmurfm. Allied ex peditionary forces. SHAEF was set up in England in preparation for the anslo-American-Canadian Invasion of the continent It was later moved to Reims, France, where it accepted Germany's sur render May 7. Yesterday the war department announced Its plans for military government of Germany in con junction with Britain, Russia and France siting in a joint control Council in Berlin. , It seems 'reasonable, that once the government of Germany" is organized under the council, the tones to be governed by the respective re-spective Allies are occupied and the balance of the Allied forces Are withdrawn. SHAEF's exist-nee exist-nee will no longer be required. Some suggest SHAEF may continue con-tinue until a peace is finally negotiated. ne-gotiated. There seems less practical prac-tical reason for this to be the controlling factor, however, than matters of supply and transportation. transpor-tation. Announcement of a new international inter-national transport organization comprised .of the U. S., Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg Lux-embourg and Norway, showed what conslderaations are now most important. Other major problems now confronting the Allies, apart from governing and restoring the occupied oc-cupied areas, include: Repatriating prisoners of war and displaced civilians from Germany; Ger-many; construction of housing for occupation forces; withdrawal of American, British and French forces to be redeployed to the Pacific or demobilized to temporary tempor-ary bases; and removal of unusable un-usable war material for redeployment. redeploy-ment. Most of these problems hinge on restoration of transportation. It is clear that the easiest way for American forces to withdraw is back over the lines of com munlcatlon used in advancing in to Germany. These lines would carry them back towards Cher bourg, Brest, Marseilles and Ant werp. 1 . :' . f - I, ' I VI. - ; GIs In EurODe Mav Studv at Oxford.CombridaG ., Patch Sees Early vocttlpnti training; arm? unlver- BT FEED SCXTEWTF United rresa stair correspondent WASHINGTON.
