Kings Early Return
In Coal Crisis Doubted
BY the Associated Press

CAPETOWN, Feb. 15.-The Ma
tionalist newspaper, Die Burger,
said today that King George VI
might find it necessary to cut short
his visit to South Africa because
of the economic crisis in Britain
and return to his people in their
hour Of need"
In the first public comment on
hitherto private speculation about
the Kings role in Britain's coal
problems, the newspaper said "the
luxury in which the royal family
will be received in South Africa is
in sharp contrast to the misery in
which the British people are liv-
ing" 1t expressed belief that cor
respondents reports of the tour
would have a most unfortunate ef-
feet on the British people"
High government officials here
said, however, that they believed
only an extreme situation woulo
cause the Kings return ahead ot
schedule. Prime Minister Jar
Christian Smuts said he had heard
nothing on the subject and con-
sidered the Kings sudden return
unlikely.

day mood, are paying little atten-

Surplus That Cost Billion
Brings Only us Million

Disposal of surplus property set
Ia monthly record in January when
materials which originally cost ST.
Oil 600 600 were sold, leased or trans
ferred with a return to the Gov
ernment of only $175,000,000, the

This return fell considerably be-
low the 27 per cent or more which
the Government recovered during

for disposal is more difficult to sell
and does not bring uniformally large
returns.
The $1,000, 100000 mark in dis
posals, OH the basis of original cost,
had not been reached in any previ-
GUS month. War Assets Administra-
tor Robert M. Littlejohn predicted
today that the 81 900 100000 rate will
continue during February, March
and April.
The Richmond Washington -Balti-
more regional Office reported sur
plus property sales of more than
s25 100000 during January. Regional
Administrator j. M. Armstrong said
this consisted principally of heavy
industrial machinery, textiles and
automotive equipment. The sales to-

yesterday was sentenced by Justice
Alexander Holtzoff of District Court
to serve from one to three years on
a charge of failing to keep his selec-
tive service board notified as to
where mail would reach him.

for not getting in touch with his

so, he would have been sent back
to District Jail, from which he had
escaped in 1943 while serving SEN
tence of from 18 months to six years

Subsidized Dining Rooms Help
Workers Fight Initiation
BY Constantine Brown

PARIS (By MaiD The nationa
governments tax on restaurants
ranges from 20 to 81 per cent OF
their gross revenue and varies ac-
cording to official ratings. The ex-
elusive establishments pay the top
First class dining rooms pay 40 per
cent, while the ordinary bis
tros"Lfwhere white collar workers,
taxi drivers and other lower middle
class persons eat-pay 20 per cent
on each item consumed on the
premises.
The "bistro" pays generally the
same wholesale price for food as
does the first class restaurant. 1t
Is able to provide meals at a lower
price merely because its overhead
and tax are considerably lower
than in the larger and more lux
urious establishments.
This system of taxation yields the
government large revenues and ex-
plains, partly at least, its reluctance
to take drastic measures against the
black market in food and drink.
Eating out has BECOME habit with
many middle class Frenchmen, who
find it increasingly difficult TO OBJ
tain food and other supplies, even
at black market prices.
Families Try to Eat Out.
Gas, coal and wood for kitchen
ranges are difficult to get and very
expensive. Therefore every family
tries to 60 to a restaurant at least
two or three times week.
The effect of these high taxes is
to squeeze even further the already
hard-hiC middle class, which must
live on fixed incomes or from rela-
lively meager earnings. Industrial
workers are comparatively well
cared for as the vast majority Of
French industries have subsidized
dining rooms.
The government has given tor
