100000 Captured
Russians Reported
Sent Into Germany
Worse OFF Than Poles,
In Some Respects, Labor
Review Article States

How to compel workers in the oc-
cupied parts of The Soviet Union to
increase their output while kept in
a status resembling slavery is one
Of the major problems confronting
Nazi Germany. according to an
article appearing this week in the
international Labor Review, pub
lished by the International Labor
Office.
Germany's determination to ex-
plot to the full the labor reserves
still available in conquered territory,
particularly in the Soviet Union. is
clearly evidenced by recent public
statements of Nazi leaders, the
article pointed out.
while exploiting these reserves,
National Socialist Germany is de-
termined. as is proved by the legisla-
tive provisions introduced in 1912. to
maintain its discriminatory racial
policy against the millions of Soviet
workers placed in German industry
and agriculture" it said.
Held Worse Of Than Poles.
ITO carry out this mobiliza ton
and raise the workers output while
keeping them in special employ
ment status characterized by low
earnings, rough lodgings, complete
lack Of contact with the outside
world and limited medical. aid is
one of the greatest problems with
which, as result Of over three years
of war and all the losses in men and
material they have involved, the
German government is now con-
fronted"
In some respects. the article stat
ed, Soviet workers are worse off
than the Poles drafted for labor in
Germany. Beginning in l941, it
added, Soviet workers were sent to
the Reich at the rate of $4,000 to
10000 day. In 1912, 100000 were
transported.
Special Rules Enforced.
Employment of Soviet workers in
Germany is governed entirely by
special regulations, the article ex-
planned. Every Soviet worker, for
example. must wear badge bearing
the word "Ost" and every German
who has dealings with a Soviet
worker is thus warned that he must
treat him with "the greatest re-
serve" To reduce contact between
them and the German population to
a minimum. Soviet workers are
housed in special barracks.
the civilian workers recruited in the
occupied parts of the u. S. S. R. are
In a position which, in many re-
spects, is like that of prisoners of

Thomas WoIfe|s Mother, SO,
Edits Volume of His Letters
Proud of Novelist,
She Says on Visit
To Daughter Here

The most vivid character in the
living room at 3612 Macomb street
NV. yesterday was the man who
looked down on his mother and
sister from an old painting on the
wall.
He was Thomas Wolfe, the nov
elist, dead almost five years, but
still very clear in the memory of
his sister, Mrs. Mabel Wolfe Whea-
ton. who lives there. and his mother.
Mrs. Julia Elizabeth Wolfe. 83, now
on a visit with her daughter.
The author visited Washington
many times between 1880 and 1886
Mrs. Wheaton often took him to the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in
Arlington. After the seventh visit,
she recalls he told her:
I'D like to see some trees and
flowers"
Both the authors mother and
Mrs. Wheaton, together with other
members of their family living in
Asheville, N. c., were given much
attention with the publication in
1929 of Thomas Wolfes first novel,
Look Homeward. Angel"
Mrs. Wolfe said that soon after
the book was published some one in
Asheville called to complain that her
son had written up everybody in
town and his family, too." She told
the speaker, she recalled, THAT
doesn't make any difference"
Mrs. Wolfe has just returned from
New York, where new book,
Thomas Wolfe's Letters to His
Mother" is soon to be released.
She edited the compilation.
That she and her daughter,
Mabel, a former singer, were char
acters in her sons books is a source
of pride to both Mrs. Wolfe and
her daughter. They point out that
Mr.. Wolfes sister, Effie. and broth
ers. Fred, Ben and Frank, were
equally proud of the author in the
family.
Tom was never separated from
his family-never. his mother de-
clared. She branded as false state
ments that the Wolfe family was
dismayed at his early writings.
"Of course, we were a little miffed
at first. We were not literary peo-
pie" Mrs. Wheaton interjected. And
we wondered what in the world had
But as Tom later told us,
he couldn't pull his characters out
of the air, but out Of the weather of
his life"
