Russia Clamps Down
On Divorces, Gives
Aid 10 Large Fami|ie,
BY EDDY GILMORE,

hssoSidbed TIeSS FUfelsn SOTTeSpOnQenE,
MOSCOW, July 10.-The Supreme
Soviet has issued sweeping decree
to strengthen family life by making
divorces more difficult to obtain ano
by granting increased financial aid
for large families.
Causing a sensation throughout
Russia. the decree made divorces as
hard Or harder to obtain in the So
Wet Union than in some parts of the
United States, and provided for pay
ment ranging up to lump sum OF
5000 rubles, or about $3.50, at birth
of any l1th child, plus a monthly
payment of 300 rubles. or S57.
The decree, already in effect, Gre
ated new honors for mothers-the
highest mother heroine" for women
rearing 10 or more children: revised
family taxes to encourage more
children, tightened laws against
abortionists, liberalized aid for pree
nancy and ordered increased pro-
duction Of baby clothes.
Aid Begins With Third Child.
State aid begins with a grant OF
400 rubles-$76 at the nominal ex.
change rate Of 10 cents in United
States currency for ruble-at
birth OF a third child. A fourth
child brings a s247 payment and
$500 per month, with lump sums
and monthly aid increasing to a
maximum for 1lth child and each
thereafter. Monthly payments con-
tinue until the children are 5 years
old.
In the past, If both husband and
wife wanted divorce, they could
obtain one within few minutes on
application at registration office,
Under the new decree both parties
must file petition in court and ap-
pear personally before people S
court. which will hear all the evil
dence and attempt reconciliation
II this is believed impossible. the
petition can be carried to a higher
court.
And II the higher court decides
to grant divorce, then the petition
Is returned with signatures to the
registration Office, where the cost to
the petitioner may range from 500
to 1000 rubles (s95 to $500. How
long such procedure will take was
not indicated, but it would appear
that considerable time would be
needed.
The decree enacted new taxes for
couples with fewer than three chill
dren. Childless citizens must pay 6
per cent of their annual income
citizens with one child, l per cent;
citizens with two or three children.
one-half of l per cent.
Before passage of the decree a
mother whose marriage was not
registered could appeal to a court
to determine the father, and claim
money for the support of the child.
The new decree removes this privi-
lege.

Swiss Churches Hit
Terrific Persecution
Of Jews in Hungary
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 10.-The Coun-
Gil Of Churches Of the Swiss can
ton Of Zurich yesterday denounced
the terrific persecution of the Jews
in Nazi-occupied Hungary and re-
vealed that the Swiss Evangelical
Church Association already had "ur-
gently" asked the Swiss government
ment and the International Red
Cross to do everything in their
power for the salvation of those
Hungarian Jews who are still alive
The councils denunciation and
message read yesterday in all Swiss
churches under the councils juris-
diction and was published in the
newspaper Neue Zeurcher Zeitung.
AS reported last night to the Office
OF War Information. the message
said that between 100000 and AGO.
O00' Jews had fallen victim to the
Nazi persecution and that most of
them" had been put to death 'by
gas"
I'm Birkenau alone" the message
said, -four crematories are working
full blast, daily gassing and burning
5000 human beings"
The church council expressed fear
that, now that the Jews in num-
ber" of Hungarian towns have al
ready been eXterminated," the Jews
in Budapest might suffer the same
fate.
TT is not in our power to put
stop to these horrors" the message
said. but we invite all CONGREGATIONS
to pray sincerely for all those who
have to go along such dark roads
Just because they are of a different
race.
I'VE also want to pray for our
evangelic-reformed sister church in
Hungary, that it may be given the
strength and the words needed at
this moment when its people bur-
dens itself with such a horrible
guilt"
