munist parties behind the iron
curtain apparently are follow
ing a new plan to take over
the foreign ministries of their
countries as well as the police
and propaganda posts, on which
they concentrated before, Brit
ish Balkan experts said today.
These sources said that one
of the reasons behind the new
plan was the difficulty the Com

diplomatic and consular person
mel abroad hew to the party
line.
Once content to permit non
Communist allies to administer
foreign offices, the Communists
now apparently fear their coun-
tries representatives abroad
are not to be trnsted, the ex-
perts said.
They stressed that Mrs. Ana
Pauker, who assumed control Of
the Romanian foreign office
Friday, was the third Commu-

months.

7NThree thousand troops of
the Hindu Maharajah of Kash-

annihilation, rebel leaders said
today in this primitive mountain
town which is their headquar-

With the Maharajah's Hindu
troops are an unknown number
of Sikh irregulars, the rebels as
serted.
The rebels said they now had
control of more than half of
Kashmir's $4,000 square miles

up most of the 10000 Kashmire
state troops.
One of the first outsiders to
visit this headquarters, high in
the Kashmir mountains, 1
reached here over mule paths
from Rawalpindi, Pakis:an.
I found Palandari the center
of an organized Moslem mill
tary and political rebellion aim
ed at driving out the 100-year-
old dynasty of Sir Hari Singh,
the Maharajahm and join
ing Kashmir to Pakistan.

the uprising which began soon
after the British handed over

another mountain town. The

ASK WAGE BOOST
Workers Ir Northern Mills
Seek Is Cents Per Hour
Raise

BOSTON, Nov. 9 INA gen.
eral wage increase of Is cents
an hour for 100000 workers in
Northern cotton and rayon mills

hours after voting to seek a 70
cent boost for 100000 woolen-
worsted employees.
Emile Rive, genreal presl-
dent of the union, said the cot
ton-rayon proposal would cover
members employed in 125 mills
in New England and the Mid
die Atlantic states and would
establish a minimum of $1.O3 an
hour compared with SO cents at
present. Average hourly earn
ings, now $1.07, would rise to
S1.22, he said.
The new wage hike proposal
conceded with TWUA an

the union has negotiated a nine
per cent wage increase amount
ing to S19,000,000 a year for l2o,-
900 Southern cotton textile
workers about one-fifth of all
cotton mill workers in tn e
South. The Southern minimum
thus rises. to 81 cents an hour.
Four Increases
TWUAS has negotiated four
wage increases in the Northern
cotton-rayon industry since w.
day, the most recent five
cents-an-hour hike Aug. l, 1947.
Other boosts were 10 cents an
hour Jan. l, 1947. eight cents
IN August, 1916, and eight cents
in November, 1915.
The new wage proposal,
notice of which must be given
to employers at least 80 days

nounced after a conference OF
5OO delegates from union locals
at downtown hotel.

has extracted approximately ST.,
500, 900, 900 in reparations from
current German productions IN
the Soviet occupation zone since

government economists estimate
ed today.
A 4O,O0O-word, illustrated re-
port indicated that the Soviet
zone is in better economic shape
than the three Western zones.
1t also indicated:
/. The giganic export pro-
gram of the Anglo-American
combined zone, designed to
make exports pay for imports,
is failing badly.
2. The Russian and American
zones both are making substan-
tial progress toward reaching
pre-war normalcy.
3. The british zone, including
| the Ruhr, described as the
industrial heart of Europe
had attained only 81 per cent
of 1896 production up to Sep:
! /. while the French zone had
reached only 35 per cent.
Based on Production
/ American officials said thay
based their estimate of repara'
tions taken by Russia on the

Soviet zone in 1916, information
given by the Soviets to the AL
lied Control authority prior

conference, the industrial capa
CITY of the zone and the amount
of materials being produced by
Russian-zone plants.
The report said that during

"total deliveries to the oovle'

It attributed the Soviet zones
more enviable economic position
to the fact that Eastern Ger
