apparently had not left italy. An
Investigator reasoned that Kiki, who
was %, pretty, and penniless, would
not leave the DIP camp unless she
knew where her meals were coming
from, therefore she probably was
married.
Records Searched.
A search Of marriage. records was
instituted, and Kiki finally was found
living with her Spanish husband in
Genoa-"well and happily married, :"
she told the bureau in writing it for
her fathers address.
A more battling case was that of
Paul Buldinski, Latvia, who wrote
from DIP camp in Linz, Austria,
to ask the bureau to try to trace his
wife, last heard OF at Modena in
1945 after she fled from the Gestapo
into Austria and Italy. He hoped
soon to go to America, he said, and
wanted to take her with him.
The woman was quickly located at
the Reggie Emilia camp, but there
after the bureaus repeated letters
to her went unanswered. Further
more, letters to the husband brought
no replies. The bureau was about to
write off the case, assuming the
woman had some reason for not
wanting to see her husband again,
when it got word that he had left
the Linz camp without leave and
was at Reggie Emilia with her.

Work Of Locating
Lost Victims Of War
By the Assoeioted Press

ROME, Nov. 28.-A displaced per-
sons tracing bureau, one OF the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Agency's busiest units until
UNRRA ended June 80, is still going
strong under the Preparatory Com
mission of the international Refu-
gee Organization.
Two years and more after the final
defeat of the Nazis, the commission
recently announced, inquiries for
missing adults are still being re-
ceived at the rate of 60 a month,
while requests that it try to locate
parents or relatives of unaccom-
panied children average one week.
To date, the commission said, 2,642
cases of lost children and 1898
missing adults have been handled.
OF 1859 cases dealt with in the
year from September l, 1916, to
August 81, 1947, positive results"
were achieved in 1887 and negative
in 1,O56. Still being Investigated
were 9,345 cases.
Bare figures" the announcement
said, "can give no inkling of the
romance and pathos stemming from
thousands of family histories which
come under the bureaus survey
the tragic aftermath Of the war;
Inquiries Widespread.
Inquiries, it said, come from all
parts of Europe and the bureau
makes every effort to find the per-
sons sought among the $4,000 DPS in
camps or the more than 100000
others outside them.
Two case histories taken at ran
dom from the files" were cited to
show how the bureau works.
In one, NicolauS Papavasiliou OF
Athens sought word of his pretty
daughter, Kiki, who had been study
ing music in Germany at the out
break of the war. She was known to
have spent a short time in 1914 as
an interpreter at a DIP transit camp
in Italy. After that she dropped out
Of sight.
The bureau discovered, finally, that
in 1916 Kiki had lived for some
months at an Allied military camp
in Reggie Emilia, leaving 1t without
permission. Italian police records

Extension Of New Deal
For Nation 5 Economy
BY The Assoeio,ed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. I8.-Chester
Bowles declared today the Nation is
repeating the path we took in the

for "a substantially expanded New
Deal"
The former OPA and economic
stabilization director, now a delegate
to the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization,
made his proposals for a national
economic program during joint
meeting of the National Consumers
League and the New York and New
Jersey Leagues.
"A great many Of those who came
into power last fall" Mr.. Bowles
said, think that all our problems
will vanish if the Government con-
fines its attention to coastal affairs,
roads and Indian problems. He
did not identify those he classified In
the power group Mr.. Bowles ques-
toned whether citizens have sufh-
cient political understanding to
maintain prosperity.
Saying we must 'go well beyond
the New Deal and think much more
boldly in new terms" he voiced
these opinions:
I'VE have only nibbled at the
problem of education-we must be-
come really educated people and
we are not that"
Too many people, he said, think in
terms of getting a bigger slice of

AS acting governor, Mr.. Thompson
would serve until the next general
election in November, 1913. Mr.. Tai

adopted as the platform of the

25% Raise Demands
OF Clio Hit by AFL
As irresponsible
BY the Associated Press

The AFL struck out sharply at
the CLOS Nathan wage policy re-
port yesterday and said it has
nothing whatever to do with
the realities of industrial opera
tions."
The AFL publication Labor
Monthly Survey" discussing there
port made by Economist Robert r
Nathan for the CIO, which called
for a Is per cent wage increase,
commented:
Ito deceive workers by leading
them to believe they should receive
such general increase is a most
irresponsible policy"
It was the second time the AFL
hit at CIO policies last week. AFL
President William Green in state
ment Tuesday criticized the food of
CIO suits for "portal-to-portal" pay
claims. He 5maintained such claims
should be settled through collective
bargaining rather than in court.
Pay Increases Seen as Due.
While the AFL's Monthly Survey
criticized the Nathan report, it had
this to say under heading, How
Much Wage Increase?"::
"The outlook for increased pro-
ductivity and maintenance of prof
its in 1947 suggests that industry in
general can raise workers pay with
out increasing prices this year. AFL
unions have recently been winning,
without strike. wage increases which
vary from 10 to 371a cents an hour
Competent business observers state
for United States generally wage
increases Of 10 to Is cents an hour
are being won.''
There appeared to be little diff
ference between AFL and CIO view
points that business can afford to
raise wages and hold prices down.
The AFL survey interpreted the
Nathan report as advocating Is
per cent pay raise pattern for uni
form adoption. However, Mr. Ma
than's report said "the profit and
wage picture must be considered
separately in each wage negotia-
ton"
Reduction of Profits.
Last year." the AFL publication
said, "the CIO claimed that industry
could pay a 24-30 per cent wage in
crease without raising prices. Their
efforts resulted in an 1872 cent wage
formula and a living cost rise of
equal amount.
They have learned nothing from
this experience. Again this year
they are making the same kind of
claim"
The publication said the Nathan
report would reduce profits to the
low level of 1868 when $4,000
were unemployed and industry was
not earning enough for the normal
new plant and equipment which ex-
pands production and raises living
standards"
The publication suggested that
Communist policies would explain
such tactics" as the CIO wage policy
and said:
When American employers refuse
to give responsible union officers
financial reports showing operating
results of their business, they play
into the hands of those who would
deceive their employes"

nell asked, that it would be en-
tirely proper for Congress to pass
a law under which all back-pay
