Wage Cuts Hit
Soviet's Workers

MOSCOW, March IS (uP(-
Drastic wage cuts are beng
made throughout the Soviet gov
eminent and economic organiza-
tons, in an effort to bring wage
levels down to fixed offlcla!
standards.
Exceptional wage initiation in
the last two years for engineers,
specialized office workers and
other types of employees, has
worked havoc with economic
budgets. A sort of deflation
process now is under way.
Salaries of the best-paid cate
gories in many Institutions are
being slashed as much as 25 or
SO per cent. With the cost of
living rising precipitately, the
sudde ncutS involve acute hard
ships.
Open market prices, upon
which the population increasing
" is dependent. are rising SO
quickly that every day brings
the level higher.
A few current Moscow prices
are:
Meat, 20 to % rubles. a kilo-
gram; butter, so to 70 rubles 3
kilogram; milk, six rubles a
liter; eggs, $50 rubles a piece
potatoes, five rugles kilogram
Vegetables, being out of season,
are exOrbitant. A single small
beet costs a ruble; cabbage,
three rubles a kilagrom; onions,
half a ruble each.
The significance of such prices
is to be found in the fact that
average wages in the country
are about 80 rubleS a week. The
best paid categories of employees,
such as engineers, average lou
or 125 rubles a wee *
More and more. however, peo-
pie eat in factory and coffee
restaurants, where the costs us
ually are very low. Bread and
few other items are ratloned
at low fixed prices. With these
as a basis, and an occasional
purchase in the open-market
Stalls, people somehow exist

FRANCE SEEKS
SUPREMACY OF
ETHER WAVES
Radio Station Plans 10

By RALPH HElNZEN
it'd Pres. Staff Correspondent


PARIS. March Is. (UP)-An-.
other duel for the supremacy OF
the air is being fought over
Europe, but the weapons are
ether-waves, not dum-dumS.
France, having awakened tC
the fact that Russia and Germ
any had gained control of the
ether. now has embarked on the
most costly program OF wireless
expansion ever undertaken by
any European nation.
TOTAL FORCE .
All of the wireless stations OF
Europe, over 10 kilowatts, have
a total force of $500 kilowattSS.
Last September, France, with
sos kilowatts, ranked fourth be-
hind Russia, Germany and Great
Britain. Today, Frence Is sec
ond, with S2S kilOwatts, close be-
hind Russia.
To crowd some of the other
nations out of the air, France
is spending lOO,O00,000 francs
on nine new stations of TAO Kill
owatts. The operation of these
stations will cost the budget an
other 1OO,00O,000 francs annu-
ally.
TO meet the cost. the govern
ment has 65,OO0,OO0 francs from
the project of developing nation
al resources and $4,000, 900
francs from the 1888 budget in
the form of taxes on the sets OF
wireless amateurs.
NEW PROGRAM
The new program includes the
rebuilding of the Paris PIT.
station paris Post Office on
the Villejust plateu. in the valley
of the Chevreuse, far from the
interference of Paris industries.
This new station will be 12O
kilowatts
This building squirt will give
France o favored position when
the nations of Europe meet at
Berne, June l, to divide the new
waye-lengths as decided by the
recent Madrid convention.
When these lengths are dlvld-
ed. it will be in such a way that
the powerful stations of Germ
any, France and Russia will not
interfere with each other as at
present.

GOES TO BUREAU
Formal Consideration Will
Begin Tomorrow on '35
Paper.

Representatives o. the District will
appear before officials of the Bureau
Of the Budget tomorrow afternoon when
that Federal agency will start formal
consideration of the estimates for the
next fiscal year.
It is expected the 1885 budget, as ap-
proved by the District Commissioners,
will not require lengthy hearings since

priation requests beyond necessary
maintenance items.

made by the department. heads. 1t is
about S4.200,000 more than the appro-
priations for the current year. Most
Of the increase over the 1894 act. how
ever, comes about as result of basing
the estimates on a presumption of
restoration Of District salaries to a 100
per cent basis next July l. This was in
keeping with instruction from Director
Douglas.
The new budget carries provisions
for only few building projects. Among
these are said to be requests for addi-
