In Western Germany |
BY tho As.oeioted Press

BERLIN, Dec. 27.-A three-power
| survey of hunger conditions IN

ber" of these showing signs Of
severe undernutrition," with chill

series since the occupation began,
covered the French, American and
British zones. 1t was prepared by a
three-power committee.

French zone was in the most danger
GUS position in regard to food stocks.
At the same time, it praised the
French practice of feeding both
miners and their families In con-
trast to the British-zone practice Of
feeding only the miners. The report
said coal production was higher per
man in the French than in the
British zone.
The Russian zone Of Germany
richer in raw materials, food and
housing than the western zones
has made a speedier economic re-
covery and claims to have practi-
|cally eliminated unemployment, ac-
cording to figures made available
today.

four-power directorate here, for
September. showed 10000 unem-
ployed out Of a registered able
bodied worker population of ap-
proximately 100000. At the same
time, the American zone reported
480,0 900 unemployed out of an able
bodied employables total of $780,
900.
Since then, however, the German
Central Administrator for industry
in the Soviet zone, reported unem-
ployment had been wiped out with
total of nearly 100000 men and
women gainfully employed.

tary Governments manpower di-
vision remarked that employment

to be accepted at face value, be-
cause we have no entry there to
check them" The figures from the
German Central Administration

AirIines Due 10 Ask
Rise in Mail Rates
By the Associated Press

Many of the Nations airlines are
reported ready to ask the Govern
ment soon for an increase in rates
to help meet rising costs in flying
the mail. One airline also is ex-
pected to ask a 10 per cent in
crease for passenger fares.
Airline officials pictured the vari-
Gus companies overall financial sit
uation as probably the blacklist
since the Civil Aeronautics Act was
passed in 1888, with operating costs
already exceeding income for some
carriers.
These officials said labor and ma
terial costs have risen sharply and
heavy commitments have been made
for surplus wartime transports and
new equipment, delivery of which
has been delayed by labor Difficult
ties and material shortages. Mean
while, payloads have dropped below
, estimates for the usual seasonal de-
cline.
Northeast Airlines, Inc, received
early this month a temporary mail
rate retroactive to May l, 1945, in
response to its plea that its present
cash position is critical and daily
becoming less favorable"
Chicago and Southern Airline
Inc, filed a petition for similar re-
lief this week and Braniff Airways
and Continental Air Lines have
xpetitions for higher mail pay pend
ing with the Civil Aeronautics
Board, which fixes the rate to be
paid on routes approved by the
Post Office Department.
CAB officials say privately that
they expect most of the others
to apply for moro pay. Industry
officials agree that that is the cur
rent prospect.

Mr.. Boyle said his union also
wanted a wage increase and a con-
tract with the company, which, he
said, they now lack.
Mr.. Lydecker said the walkout
came as a surprise to the company
because a State Mediation Board
panel was scheduled to take up the
dispute on January 9 and 10.

ending the strike at the Jersey City
and Piscataway plants was made by
Allen Weisenfeld. secretary of the

tives of the Public Service Co. and

ers Union, AFI, had agreed to
table the question of wages until
meetings on January 13 and IA. He
added that both parties were not
bound to accept the State Mediation
Board panels recommendations on
wages.
The parties, he said, finally agreed
to make any wage increases-if any
are granted-retroactive to August
6 at the Jersey City plant.
The retroactive date for any wage
increases at the other factory will
be determined at the January 13
meeting, the panel spokesman
added. .s.
