In 4 statement by its board of d.

abolish industry-wide bargaining
And the closed shop and restore true

sy The Assesiatsd Press

MOSCOW, Mar, 1.-THE Soviet
Council Of Ministers called on Rus
sian heavy industries to increase
their ls47 output by as much as
345 per cent over last year and
estimated that 81 900, 900 workers
would be needed to accomplish the
task.
The cali for the 345 fper cent hike
was for farm cultivators, and it

economic development, and the
Council OF Ministers-the Russian
cabinet-asked miners to get 16 per
cent more coal out OF the ground
this year.
Coal Delays Development.
The announcement said the coal
industry, hampered by the war, WAS
tagging behind. thus holding up the
development Of other branches Of
heavy industry, railway transport,
and the whole national economy"
The grave consequences Of the
war. and also the backwardness of
individual branches Of the peoples
economy, and crop failures have
created . number OF hardships," the
announcement added.
1.-THE Council Of Ministers draws
the attention Of ministers of the
union republics to the fact that the
task OF fulfilling and over-fulfilling
the five-year plan requires radical
improvement In leadership in indus
try and production planning"
Among needs cited was an increase
Of 188 per cent in the production of
prefAbricated homes.
Most Backward Industries.
Industries described rs most
backward included coal, oil, hous-
ing, agricultural machinery, con-
Sumers goods, electrical equipment.

against future German aggression
AS French and British diplomat,
polished the final few phrases Of
the Anglo-French alliance to be
signed Tuesday at Dunkeroue, this
deduction was given substantial
credence in Official quarters as 4
result of Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault's statement to the National
Assembly.
In announcing the impending pact
with Britain, Mr.. BidAult told the
deputies that France would Offer
each Of its clauses to the other
great Allies" and, also, to tht
Netherlands, Belgium, Csechoslo.
vakia and Poland.
40-YeAr Pact Urged.
This was the first indication Ii
an Official French statement OF such
4 measure. since Mr.. Byrnes sug.
sested a similar multilateral treaty
to the Foreign Ministers Council
here last spring.
Mr.. Byrnes urged 4 25-year agree.
ment. later raised to 20 years
among the Big Four to prevent any
future threat OF German aggres-
sion.
The British have said they will
support Mr.. Byrnes' proposal.
/ Observers were quick to note the
similarity between Mr.. Byrnes' idea
and the terms Of the British French
accord, which pledges both nations
for the next so years to common
measures to enforce Germanys
observance Of the peace settlement
/ AS in the proposal outlined by
Mr.. Byrnes, France and Britain are
agreeing to act Jointly to crush
any nucleus of German war poteri.

in the Chopin Sonata" which lost
its tranquil line in the Largo and

On the whole, Miss Keene's play
ing was uneven, but in spite of this
her eminent qualifications were to
be observed. The Bach showed her
at her best and this was regained
to degree in the three sections of

The liquid tonal quality disclosed

Perhaps he will venture further in

material for his repertoire.
Special praise should be given to
Gibner King for his accompani-
ments. His fine preparation of the
mood of the number in his intro
ductions and his sympathetic treat
