Monoson Says He
Is Not Empowered
To Do as Asked

A compromise proposal on the
issue Of revaluation was offered TO-
day by the Council Of Community
Clubs TO Mayor John s. Monagan.
The proposal urged the re-
adoption Of the 1914 Grand List to
which would be added 1902 per-
centage overall increase, sufficient,
it was claimed, to meet the antici-
pated expenditures Of the 1916 bud

The Mayor rejected the proposal
with regret" saying he felt 1t would
tend to "perpetuate the inequalities
and bad features Of the 1914 List"
The compromise was made this
morning by William o. Taylor and
other members of the Council who
appeared at the office of the Mayor:
Mr.. Taylor could not be contacted
following the meeting, but he tr-
formed the Mayor that the Coun-

Vishinsky Continues Feud With BeUir

On Greece
Soviet Delegate

London, FEB. A. (UP) - Soviet
delegate Andrei vishinsky accused
Ernest Bevin before the United Ma
tons Organization today of care
lessly handling the facts about the
Greek situation and Of saying
things which made the Security
Council resemble a gaming estab-
1ishment.
The acrimonious feud between
vishinsky, Soviet vice-foreign COM
miSsar, and Bevin, British foreign
secretary, burst anew as soon as the
Security Council resumed consider
alton OF the Greek problem.
vishinsky was prosecuting Sow

threat to world peace. Bevin denied
it last week, and counter-charged
that Moscow propaganda was the
greatest threat to the peace.

against the Soviets Is incorrect and
tendentious," Vishinsky said at the

Comment On World Events

President Truman's recent directive
for the admission of refugees to the
United States up to the limit OF the
immigration laws has focused atten-
tion again on the whole refugee prob
lem, with particular reference to refu-
gees in this country. A new pamphlet
throws light on the problem of how
those already here have fitted into
the American scene.
An overwhelming majority of refu-
gees, despite greater adjustment diff
ficulties than are faced by ordinary
immigrants in normal times, have be-
come well-integrated into American
community life and are now self-sup-
porting, report Maurice Z. Davie of
Yale University and Samuel Koenig
of Brooklyn College in the pamphlet,
The Refugees Are Now Americans.
The pamphlet, published by the Pub
lie Affairs Committee, New York, is
based on comprehensive nationwide
study conducted by the Committee for
the Study of Recent immigration from
Europe.
"Fully half of the refugees have

Chamber Survey Exposed
As Plot Agdinst The OPA

Bridgeport, Conn.-tFP).-A sur
vey of Bridgeport manufacturers
taken by the local Chamber of Com
merce which threatened layoffs of
800 workers unless OPA goes out
of business by Feb. Is was blown
sky-high by OPA Administrator Ches-
ter A. Bowles and labor spokesmen.
Fifty unidentified manufacturers in
the Bridgeport area repeatedly took
part in the survey, which pictured
OPA price controls and some unions
demands for 800 wage increases as
the twindevils that would drive most
of them out Of business.
Challenging the yeracity of the c.
Of c. statistics, Bowles said that not
one Bridgeport firm has applied to
OPA for price adjustments and de-
clared that most local factories are
earning far above their prewar pro-
fits. Bowles intimated that the Bridge
port survey was part of a nationwide
plot against OPA, pointing out that
the Feb. 15 ultimatum was originally
laid down by the Natl. Assn. Of Manu-
facturers. NAM has made similar sur
veys in other cities and states carry
ing the same threat of unemployment
unless price controls are removed, he
said.
"The Bridgeport G. Of C.. bases its
case on a concern for future employ
ment," Bowles said "If that is really
its concern, its best bet is to aid in
stead of undermining the nations
stabilization program"
Typical labor reaction to the sur
vey came from Vice Pres. Joseph p.
Cleary Of the Bridgeport Central La
Dor Union, who said: ''This is an az
tempt to frighten the people and
force them to bow to the will of big
business"
Questioning the accuracy of the re-
port, Cleary said: Labor is not bit
scared of the future as far as OPA
policies are concerned, but it is alarm
ed over failure to adopt Pres. Tru-
mans legislative proposals relative TO
reconversion."
Harold Senior of the Connecticut IN
dustrial Union Council said: "The
Bridgeport chambers statement that
6S% Of the manufacturers participat-
ing in the report would dismiss their
entire working force if they were re-
quired to grant 30ft wage increases
without corresponding price increases
is the crudest sort of an attempt TO
