General Occupation Matters: In the period under review, relatively little of significance in the way of four-power agreement issued from the Allied Control Council for Germany. After agreements had been reached in June, 1947, on 1) freedom of exchange of public information in all four zones; 2) the resignation of Dr. Ostrowski and the appointment, on a temporary basis, of Frau Schroeder as Oberburgermeister of Berlin; 3) plans for the democratization of education; and 4) the opening of telephone and telegraph communications between Germany and most of the rest of the world, relatively few agreements were secured except amendments to the property tax law, a general non-mandatory series of recommendations on adult education, and specification of the time and date at which Germany would change from winter to summer time. British and United States representatives submitted lists of plants to be allocated for reparations removals, but no approved action was taken. The Council, however, agreed to make available to Poland, without prejudice to the ultimate question of legal title, seven ships of non-German ownership registered at the Port of Danzig.
