Belgium WiII.Submit
DegreIIe Case 10 U. N.
BY the Assooioied Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Sept. A.
The Foreign Office said Belgium
will submit to the United Nations
tonight the case of Leon Degrelle,
condemned collaboration with the
Germans, who escaped recently from
Spain.
An Official statement last night
from the Office of Foreign Minister
Paul Henri Spaak, who also is preSi-
dent of the United Nations Assem-
bly,, accused the Spanish govern
ment of responsibility for Degrele' s
escape. The Belgian Rexist leader
vanished soon after it was an
nounced he would be forced to leave
Spain.
The Foreign Office said the official
complaint would be transmitted to
Baron Robert Silvercruys, Belgian
Ambassador to Washington, who
will hand it to the United Nations.
Degrelle crash-landed on a Span
ish beach in a German plane on
May S, 1945, and was held in Gus
tody by Spain until last August %,
when the Franco government an
nounced he had been freed and
ordered to leave the country within
eight days.
Two days later, the Spanish gov
ernment said Degrelle had left Span
ish territory on the night of August
%, but did not say where he had
gone. The Franco cabinet refused
Saturday to aid in the pursuit of
Degrelle because it would be con-
trary to traditional Spanish gentle
manliness."

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Local 802
OF the AFL American Federation of
Musicians moved today to halt the
use of "piped-in" music in New
York hotels where union musicians
have struck, demanding increased
pay.
The union announced that H. E.
Houghton, president of the Muzak
Corp, which sells recorded music
through telephone arrangement,
had agreed to cut the service to
the hotels within "a hours.
Mr.. Houghton said his contract
with the local forbade Muzak from
selling music to any concern on the
unions unfair list and that this
provision was written into all his
subscribers contracts He said this
was the first time the clause had
been invoked.
The union also announced it had
assurances from local 3 of the AFL
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers that it would not
install any juke boxes in hotels on
the unions unfair list.
Three upper East Side hotels, the
union said, yesterday signed indi-
vidual settlements, agreeing to make
retroactive the conditions of agree
ment that the local might reach
with the main body of struck
hostelrieS.

Mr.. 6haffer, 65, a used furniture

asked about an investigation of the

tin.
He said the Klan has existed in
Franklin county for 25 pears, add
ing: 1--WE are here to stay and there
is no law to oust U.s." He said the
Franklin County group has no con-
nection with any similar group in
the State or Nation.
The order, he said, ''has no aims to
injure minority groups as long as

scribed that term as living within

problem of rural overpopulation, in
spite Of the drawing off of great
numbers of peasants to the cities.
1t has been suggested that there
can never be very high standard
of living in the collective farm while
l 200 acres must support rs or 80
families"
The Red Army is one of the most
privileged groups. together with
party officials, plant managers, in
tellectuals and the usually skilled
workers. But the report showed,
officers earn from 900 to 2,400 rubles
a month as compared with 10 rubles
for the ordinary private, or 81 while
on the line.
Plant Managers Well Paid.
Plant managers who might re-
ceive $4,000 a year in the United
States for comparable work earned
1000 rubles before the war although
such remuneration was about nine
times the average wage in the U. S.
S. R. at that date" They enjoyed
special privileges such as a car and
free vacations and sometimes re-
ceived production bonuses which
might equal or exceed their annual
salary
The "intellectuals" Jared so well
in comparison with most other Rus
sian workers that they often owned
automobiles before the war and
talked of owning a helicopter after
the war;" the report stated.
Telling how the Soviet govern
ment determines the amount. kind
and prices of consumer goods to
be sold through consumer co-opera-
tives regulated by the state, the re-
port declared that "the distributive
network appears to be very limited,
considering the number of people
to be served"
1t referred to "the tendency to
sacrifice quality of consumer goods
in an effort to increase production.
1t commented as follows on reasons
for the short supply of such goods:
BY far the most important factor
contributing to the inadequacy of
supply of consumer goods was the
ALLEGATION of manpower and ma
terials to heavy industry. Other
factors of lesser Importance have
included, according to one writer,
the overall population increase; new
demands made because of the in
flux of rural people to the cities;
and higher level of demands on
the part of workers, due to the
government program of education.
Cultural Items Forge Ahead.
"1n line with the latter policy,
production of cultural items, such
as books, monographs, radio and
art reproductions, as well as the
building of theaters and concert
halls, has gone forward more rapidly
than production of other types of
consumer goods"
The newest f1ve-year plan gives
more attention to consumer goods
production but still devotes first
consideration to heavy industry,
the report observed.

| ties enter prominently into standard
of living.
An acute housing shortage exists
because the urban population nearly
trebled prior to the outbreak of the
war. The report recalled that pri-
vate ownership Of real estate was
abolished in 1920, but former
owners retained some rights to
houses. Houses not privately owned
are administered by housing de-
partments of state agencies.
Big apartment houses at low
rents furnish the most common
type of housing in cities, former
six-room apartments being allotted
to workers on the basis of one
family per room. with common use
! OF the bathroom and Kitchen" the
report continues. Private houses
may be leased with free choice of
tenants but under state supervision
and Subject to price control and to
restrictions regarding eviction.
Union Members Get Extras.
Increasing numbers of workers
are housed in buildings constructed
or assigned by state enterprises for
their workers. And occupants may
be ousted for infringement of labor
discipline, without provision for
other housing"
The social insurance budget COW
ering all factory workers and off,
GERS and administered by the trade
unions exceeded 10000 ,000,0 900 rubles
in 1945, the report stated. Contri-
buttons come entirely from en-
ploying enterprises.
Trade union members" the re-
port added, "are said to receive
preferential treatment with regard
to social insurance and services, re-
ceiving the double amount of sick
ness insurance benefits awarded to
nonunion members in equivalent
situations, and priority in accom-
modations at restrooms and sana-
toria."
The report provided the following
statistics. on medical and social
services: 3,461 rest centers in 1941,
130,348 physicians in 1941 and. 112,-
4O5 in 1898 as compared with 63,162
in 1928; 661, ,431 general hospital
beds in 1941 The report presented
comparative figures indicating that
the available Russian hospital IA
cllities on the basis of population in
the 1930s were considerably below
those OF England and Germany.

Average Yearly Wage VI
$4,000 By 1870 Fore
cast In New Book

WASHINGTON, May 1872
An American economy geared by
1870 to an annual productive capa-
city of $500, UOO. 900, 900 in goods and
services-tWice the peak wartime
outputs toreseen by Chester
BoWleS.
The sterilization director sets up
this goal in his first book, To
morrow Without Fear, to be pub
lished Monday.
Saying tnlt sharply accelerated
private and government spending
will be necessary to balance out
put with purchases, Bowles pre-
diets that in about 20 years this
will mean IAN average annual
income of about $4,000 for every
man and woman who works for
a living"
Specifically he says the average
income of the lower third Of the
nations families can rise from
$527 in 1910 to $1,355 by 1850, and
to $3.50 by the late 1960's.
For middle income families,
Bowles' prediction is a climb

late sixties. His forecast for the
top third is from So, 722 before the
war to $9,015 by 1870.
For the short range on product
ion, BoWles fixes an objective of
5000, 900, 600, 900 in goods and SER
vices in both 1947 and 1948-about
a Is per cent increase over the
current rate and 100 per cent over
1910.
The cause of the economic col
lapse of 1929 was, according to
Bowles, that we simply weren't
distributing enough purchasing
power into the pockets of our peo-
pie to buy all of the goods that
flowed from our increasing prod
uctive capacity"
