Proclamation Ending State of War Signed WASHINGTON, Oct. 19—(£>)— President Truman quickly signed a Congressional resolution ending the state of war with' Germany today, even as Senator McCarran (D-Nev.) was trying hard to get the measure back from the White House. The resolution, as of now, means that Germans are no long er enemy aliens in the eyes of this country. The Senaxe passed it last .July, the House only yesterday. Today, McCarran protested that Congress blundered in its phrasing of the document. He said it was so worded as to open it to the inter pretation that German-o wn e d property in this country could still be seized under the trading with-the-enemy act. That would he confiscation, he Said. He asked that it be recalled before President Truman signed it, and be referred to the judici ary committee. At McCarra'n’s request, the Sen ate by unanimous consent called for the resolution’s return from the House. The House, sent back word that it had already sent it to. the White House. McCarran later asked the Sen ate to suspend' its rules and call back the resolution from the White House. Senator McFarland of Arizona, the Democratic floor leader, blocked that. He s'aid “it would be very much misunder stood by the German people.” Beat Michigan Stale Van Hensen mmw shirt with the soft collar that... Never a wrinkle-proof collar like this!
