Washington dispatch reports Secretary Weeks ordered the withdrawal of American troops from Germany by July 7, affecting about 3,000 officers and men in the Coblenz bridgehead as part of a broader Rhine amnesty plan. The move, Weeks said, aims to complete the evacuation quickly, not to appease Congress or offset reparations negotiations, and precedes postwar policing arrangements in the Coblenz sector.
