Russian Sentry Shot
.GI With 'Dum-Dum'
Bullet, Reyes Says
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

A Russian sentry sent an out
lawed "dum-dum" bullet smashing
into the arm Of fallen and dubbed
American soldier in Vienna Sunday,
the American commander there re-
ported last night.
The soldier, Pfc. Jack Grunden,
Portland. Greg, was attacked and
hurled to the ground by another
Russian, 1t. Gen. Godfrey Reyes
said, and then was beaten and shot
with "a rifle bullet of the explosive
dunn dun type"
|, Such ammunition - which ex-
pands when it strikes-was out
lawed in an 1899 agreement signed
by Russia and virtually all other
major nations.
Red Version Distorted"
The Soviet version of the Vienna
shooting, Gen. Keyes added in his
report to the Army, was "a COM
plete distortion Of the facts" He
said Russian protest, submitted
to him by Col. Ivanov, gave this
account:
Three drunk American soldiers"
tried to disarm the guard at the
Grand Hotel-Soviet headquarters
in Vienna-and one of them struck
the Russian with a bottle in the
fight that followed. The Soviet
sentry then shot the American in
the arm, Col. Ivanov said.
"First aid was rendered to the
wounded on the spot" continued
the Russian report, land he was
turned over to the American ele-
ment."
But Gen. Reyes said in his report
that Pvt. Grunden and two other
GIs were attacked without reason
while walking past the hotel with
three Austrian girls.
Intercepted Americans.
A Russian soldier intercepted the
Americans and the girls in the
street, said Gen. Keyes, and made
filthy remark" The Russian
then grabbed one of the three men.
When Pvt. Grunden interviewed, he
was thrown to the ground.
During the scuffle, the Russian
soldier fired his pistol into the air,
the report said. A Soviet sentry
posted across the street ran up,
failed at the fallen American with
his bayoneted rifle, then dubbed
Pvt. Grunden with the rifle butt
and shot him as he lay on the
ground.
First aid was given by an I'M
identified American doctor and an
Austrian doctor. But Gen. Keyes
declared the Russians gave the
soldier no help during the As min
utes he lay in front Of their head
quarters.
The American general said q
preliminary protest has been made
to the Soviet commander in the
area.

MEAT:
Too Popular

With the exception of v-egetarians
and some carrot juice addicts, nearly
everyone likes meat. And in the
U. S. everyone eats a lot of it.
That is why all the MI. and Mrs.
Jack Sprats in America are deeply
incensed whenever the meat supply
falls off from the normally prodi-
gious amounts available to the con-
sumner.
A condition of that general de-
scription currently prevails in the
U. S. and, according to r. ]. Eggert
of the American Meat institute, it
will take at least a year following
good crops in 1913 to bring about
any substantial increase in the
amounts of beefsteaks. pork chops
and bacon on the table.
Biggest trouble, Eggert said, is
that the ratio of the eaters to the
edibles has grown too top heavy
since the war.
Wartime drain of flocks and herds
and last years short corn crop are
responsible for the currently de-.
clining animal population. :
But there is no comparable de-
cline in demand in sight. The meat
industry forecasts a continuing
steady demand for meat because:
Incomes are near an all-time high;
the real income (actual purchasing
power) of the average consumer is
one-fourth greater than in 1899; pop
ulation has increased Is million in
the past decade; people are con-
WINGED Of the nutritive value Of
meat.

MAGINOT:
Try AgaiR?

Frances Maginot line, that sup
posedly impcnetrable, concrete-and-
steel system of static defense that
failed to stop the Nazis in 1910, is
being touted now as a shield against
possible Russian attacks.
Some French army engineers even
go so far as to say that the United
States would be wise to finance
the reconditioning Of the Maginot
line as insurance against the Red
army. -
And at least one of Frances top
military leaders, Gen. Jean de
Lattre de Tassigny, is reported to
believe that the line should be in
vestigated with the idea that its
immense underground forts might
be transformed into atomic bomb
shelters.
When the ~fortresses came into
Allied hands near the close Of the
war it was discovered that the
Nazis had removed much less of
the armament and equipment than
had been believed. Most of the
guns, minus only the breech blocks,
had been left in place.
Simple fact, however-and it
is accepted by most U. S. mill
tary mems that the Maginot line
is badly outmoded by present swift
and mobile methods of warfare, and
further, that it was outmoded even
before the start of World War II.

MIDDLE
That's 5000

Any American family which .o,,,s
aad up the wages it received n
ls47 and get 5000 for the total had
earned a middle income :
ing TO the way the federal reserve
board has it figured out.
That middle income" IN saon
from 1916. incidentally. means tbat
half Of all the AZ million US. fami.
lies made more than that while The
other half made less.
About So per cent or % 4 i
families had a joint income ~
$1,000 or more last year. Bv on.
trast, in the mid-193os fewer thar
6.6 million families had incomes At
That level. But a dollar bought CON
siderably more then than il dies
now. ~ Z
Twenty-one out of each 100 fam
lies rated incomes above 5000 in
1947. while eight Of that group got
more than $500 a year.
However, not all were in the ton
money. OF each 100 families Is had
incomes under $1,000 and another 18
earned between $1,000 and $1,000.
But even many of the wellto-do
were unhappy about the whole
thing. They felt that they were be.
coming worse off financially be.
cause Of the high cost Of living.
According to the federal reserve
boards sample survey. those per.
sons who own their own business or
manage somebody else's earn the
most money. Middle income for
families headed by "a managerial
or self-employed person" was
$4,000.
Next on the list were professional
workers with a middle income Of
$4,000. Skilled and semi-skiIled
workers followed with $4,000, clerks
and salespeople with $1,000 and un-
skilled workers with $1,000. i
