Pajama and Shorts Makers
Warn Of Drop in Output
By the Assoejoted Press

Makers of mems pajamas have
notified the Civilian Production
Administration that their output is
dropping rapidly. Producers of
mems low-priced shorts reported
they are selling each dozen at a
loss because of price ceilings.
Only the mems shirt manufac-
turers have been able to keep pro-
duction up to 1889 levels, Theodore
G. Maynard, head of CPAs Clothing
Branch, reported yesterday. They
have done this, they related, in the
face of a 40 per cent drop since
1889 in production of broadcloth,
poplins and print cloths.
Mr.. Maynard, who presided at q
meeting of several clothing indus
tries committees here, said CPA
feels obliged to retain its low-price
clothing program at least until the
end Of the year. The industry men
were divided on the question. The
program gives priority help to man
ufact1lrers who agree to sell below
price levels fixed by OPA.
Mr.. Maynard said CPA fears that
dropping the program would en-
courage greater diversion of fabrics
into women's clothing, which pays
q better profit.

Dewey Calls PorIey to Map
State Campaign Strategy

ALBANY. N. Y, Sept. S LP.-Gov
Dewey, pacing the Republican State
ticket he heads, moved forward
briskly today toward a rousing No
vember battle with Democratic
standard bearers by holding a cam
paign mapping conference with his
COP team of nominees.
The Governor, together with As
sembly Leader Irving M. Ives, COP
senatorial nominee, addressed the
closing session of the Republican
convention last night in Saratoga
Springs, few hours after Demo-
Gratis, meeting in Albany, designated
Senator Mead to oppose Gov. Dewey
and former Gov. Leh1Aan to oppose
Mr.. Ives
The Democratic nominees scat
tered after their nomination, but
the Republicans were called to
Albany for a meeting In the Execu-
tive Mansion.
All indications. including accept
ance speeches of the ticket heads,
point to a bitter campaign, in
volving quareling over the mearf-
ing Of liberalism" and who is and
isn't one.
In yesterdays acceptance speech,
Senator Mead declared there lis no
compromise between liberalism and
reaction" and that New York Re-
publicans now attempting to pose
as liberals" will be "hobnobbine"
with the powerful moneyed inter-
ests" the day after election.
Gov Dewey, who in pre-campaign
speeches has asserted New York
Republicans have become the true
liberals, told delegates "the basic
philosophy upon which this Nation
is founded" is that "the State is
founded for the individual and not
the individual for the State" He
added, in declaring that Washing
ton "bungling and confusion" was
leading toward a controlled and
regimented society,"" that "in a
genuinely liberal society it is the
man who is supreme and the in
stitutions he created must serve
him"

Mead Lehman Ticket
Approved by Truman
In Predicting Victory

President Truman today put his
stamp of approval on the Mead

November.
!, Asked at his news conference what
he planned to do in behalf of SEN

Dewey's bid for reelection in No
vember, Mr.. Truman said he was
gping to say all the nice things he
could about him and he added that
he thought the Senator was a good
administrator.
Former Gov. Lehman is the Demo-

Mead.
Mr.. Truman said he didn't want to

Miles Of Trades Destroyed. 80
The report includes the follow
ing railroad statistics:
A total Of $1,000 miles Of railroad
route, one-third double tracked.
During the war the Germans dis
mantled 32,560 miles of standard
track, 10,883 miles of narrow-gauge
line. 2,455 stations, 1898 bridges
and BIT depots. BY the close of the
war 30,234 miles of track had been
restored.
The fourth Five-Year Plan calls
for 4,493 miles of new railway lines
and electrif1cation of 5000 addi-
tional miles.
THE pre-Soviet railroads were
described as ribbons of rust The
cars were 'splintered matchboxes
and the locomotives battered samo-
vars" the report relates. Nov,
however, it is quite different and
new powerful locomotives draw
heavy loads over nonrusty rails car
rying perhaps the greatest traffic
density of any large railway sys-
tenn in the world-three times great
er than in the United States in
1899.

Railroad were as popular tune as
the Volga Boatman, there would be

as men; for example, over 10000
women worked as stokers, engineers
or engineers assistants in the sum-
mer of 1945.
Underestimated by Hitler.
THE strength of the Soviet rail-
roads was underestimated by Hit
Ter when he attacked in the fall of
1941. There was q belief that the
railroads would collapse as they
had in World War I. To the So
viets in retreat, the movement OF
men and supplies was of exception
ally great Importance. And 'un-

tween localities.
"A few sample prewar rates are:
Wheat and rye, rs per cent; butter,
beef, pork and mutton, 60 to 70 per
cent; sugar, IS per cent; boots and
shoes, IL to IS per cent. There are
(or were) said to be about 2,40O or
$500 rates of tax"
Employees have part of their in
come tax withheld at the source.
The rate varies between 21a and 13
per cent, with the maximum on
monthly earnings above 1000 rubles.
Individual peasant households
pay tax which is double that of
members of collective farms. The
report explains that taxes in kind"
paid by the rural population "are in
the form of compulsory sales of
agricultural products by the coIlec-
tive farms to the state at prices
fixed by the government consider
ably under the market price"
Transportation Being Extended.
The tax on bachelors and child
less couples is 6 per cent of yearly
income. Married couples with one
child pay per cent and those with
two children pay one-half of / per

wives are exempt.

ly newspapers, "party-controlled or
censored and receiving their news
from Tass by radio or on mats
flown by plane" the report states.
Best known of the papers," the
report continues. "are Pravda, organ
OF the Communist party, and Isves-
tia, organ OF the Soviets of Deputies.
The wartime standard, due to the
paper shortage, was four to six pages
as contrasted with six to eight be-
fore the war. The papers carry very
little in the way OF advertisements,
although they do have announce
ments of what is playing at the
theaters and operas"
Radio Government Owned.
The government-owned and op-
Grated radio, with Moscow as the
key. has a role in Soviet COM
munications which corresponds to
our telephone and telegraph" al
though its control and programs
differ essentially from those of radio
networks in the United States. the
report explains.
"A Russian, Alexander Popov, Is
regarded in the Soviet Union as
having invented the radio in 1896"
the report declares. Fifty years
later the number of loud speakers
was estimated at 5000 900 and many
OF these were located in public
places. Many others are connected
directly with the local transmitting
station, SO that no manipulation
OF the dial is necessary.
This method of communication
was SO developed that by the end
of the second f1ve-year plan, 1887
more messages had been transmitted
by radio in the U. S. S. R. than in
any other country in the world
But radio as we know it has pro-
gressed much further in the United
IStates."
The report quoted figures that
the Soviet Union had 1,273, 900 tele-
phones last year, as compared with
almost 27,000,000 in the United
states. Russia has about 1000. .O0c
niles OF telephone wire and 1000

The Soviet Union, with a tightly
controlled budget which normally
absorbs good half of the national
income" obtains revenue from q
variety of taxes, loans, state -owneo
Industries and farms and "othe:
forms of socialist enterprise" the
report on Communism in Action
explains.
Its banking and credit systems
differ fundamentally in many re-
Spects from those of the United
States. Some of its fiscal trends as

can be readily understood by Ameri-
can taxpayers, the report indicates
Bachelors Taxed.
There is a form of national sales

1900 Budgets Combined.

the budgets of the 10 constituent
republics and actually comprise.
77,000 different budgets. There il
no such systems as in the Unitee
States where national, state ant
local governments maintain sepa
rate budgets.
The 1945 budget of the U. S. S. R
in 1945 is listed at 1858 billior
rubles. The report notes that ex
penditures rose from 23.1 billior
rubles in 1881 to 174.3 billion il
1910 and 1858 billion last wear. o.
which 1873 billion was for defense
Another 65 billion was for govern.
ment, trade and industry, 66 billior
