arguments to an emergency board

you may refer a dispute to one

will be able to suggest other ways
In which it can be useful as a medi-

Approximately one German OF

to the Germany wide census taken
at the end of October. had 1,130, ,63S
on relief in November. This repre-
sented an increase Of 52,653 from
October.

At Frankfurt United States mill
tary government authorities an
nounced today that prisoners of war
held by the United States would be
paid for their labor at the rate Of
mark for each 30 cents earned,
instead of at the official rate.
This announcement raised imme-
diate speculation as to whether the

it was only for payment OF war
prisoners.
It was explained that the pay
rate for prisoners was established by
