Even Chinese right-Wing labor is
opposed to the Marshall Plan. Ac-
cording to President Chu Hsueh-
fan of the Chinese Association of
Labor, considered one Of the con-
sentative leaders of world labor,
American foreign policy today is
shaped by Wall Streets desire 20
rule the world-a policy that 10
the Chinese people has meant
starvation, coldness and terror"
.Chu, originally an appointee of
the Chang Kai-Shek government,
was forced to flee when the Kuo-
mintang, backed by the U. s., out
lawed strikes and raided union
organizations. He is now in Paris
and is also vice president of the
World Federation of Trade Unions
whose executive bureau plans to
debate the Marshall Plan at its
February session on the request of
Go delegates who supported the
plan.
Gen. Wedemeyer's plan for aid
to Chang, Chu said, "is the Mar
shall Plan applied to China
"Only by firmly opposing and
by thoroughly defeating the Wede-
meyer Plan and the Marshall Plan
can China achieve her independ-
renee, peace and democracy"

FOREIGN SCENE
Nozi papers used
to spur cold war
FFICIAL Washington's "cold

N FFGCIAL Washington's "cold
" war" with the Soviet Union
increased in tempo last week with
the following developments:
/. Release of the State Depart
ments volume of documents on
Nazi-Soviet relations timed to ia
vorably influence congressional ac-
ton on the Marshall Plan. 1t was
not pointed out, however, that
leading American financial inter-
ests were closely tied in with the
Hitler machine or that the Eau
thoritative" documents were ex-
clusively of Nazi origin.
2. Launching of a Western Eu-
ropean political and military bloc
by England and France to be COM
posed of the Is nations sharing in
the proposed Marshall plan. En-
dorsed by the State Department,
the new Anti-CoInintern empha-
sizes the contention that the Mar
shall Plan is not intended pri-
marily to aid recovery but to
build up military alliance against
Russia and Eastern Europe as a
prelude to World War III.
3. Hoover's letter read to the
Senate foreign relations commit
tee. While the last Republican
President is officially opposed to
the Marshall plan, the opposition
is one of strategy, not objective.
Hoover believes the rebuilding of
Germany should be the first step
in Europe, and wants all restric-
tons lifted on German produc-
ton. Marshall Plan adherents be-
lieve economic aid for all of
Western Europe would be the best
way to achieve the same basic OBJ
jective: defeat of Russia.

NATIONAL REVIEW
ICIO spokesman
urge rent bill
q POKESMEN for. Go went

@ POKESMEN for CLIO went
y to Washington last week
and called upon the Senate sub
committee on housing and rent to
extend rent control for at least
two years and roll back rents that
were raised under the blackjack"
clause of the Wolcott bill.
Donald Montgomery, Washing
ton representative of the United
Auto Workers, called for a bill
extending rent control through
June, 1850, and protecting ten
, ats against eviction.
! John w. Edelman, legislative
{ preventative of the Textile
orkers union, declared that mill
Nners who run company housing
are frequently able to terrorize
and intimidate hundreds of en-
ployes by threat, open or implied,
that mans family will be put
ON the street if he doesn't be-
haVc.v
Not only must rent controls be
continued for another two years
but Congress must do something
to halt the inching up of rents
which has taken place even where
controls have been strongest, a
spokesman for the CLIO United
Electrical Workers told the Senate
subcommittee
Bruce Waybur of UE told the
group: "In IA cities in which large
numbers of UE members live and
work, median rents have gone up
on the average of 21% from 1910
to 1947."
He urged passage of a strong
rent control bill such as the Wag-
ner-Murray bill in the Senate
IS. 2014 or the Celler bill in the
House CHR. 1862. These would
put an end to the 15% voluntary
blackjack clause which was the
heart of the 1947 Wolcott rent
law.

papers forced reimposition of price
controls on butter and meat.
Ceilings were clamped on Dec.

started. During the past year the
cost of living rose five times as
much as it did during the four
years of rigid control. For in
stance, milk selling for 10 cents
in March, 1916, cost II cents on

the Far East in New York have
pledged support this week of any
action by maritime unions to tie
up ships carrying arms and NUM-
tons to Chang Kai-shek in China,
the Dutch forces in Indonesia and

New look at prices

Heaven help the poor working
girl from high prices!
The Heller committee, Univer-
sity of California research group,
has found that the working girls
living costs have doubled since
1941, and she now requires $180.4O
month to provide food and serv-
ices generally acknowledged as
necessary to health and efficiency.
The same items that cost the
working girl $1,127 in 1941 now
cost her $2,164. Clothing costs
have jumped from sos in 1941 to
1882 last year, income taxes from
1888 to $275, and room and board
$577 to $1,058. The committee
added:
"A standard can not be con-
sidered extravagant which in
ciudes such items as one movie

and dresses at about $40 and
shoes at about S."

The arrest for deportation of

the Department of Justice is try

tary of the American Committee

made the charge and added:
I'VE will fight the attempt to

Rules Delayed
Until Dec. 81
Citizens Committee
Continues Efforts to
Ease Regulations

Washingtons new fire egress regu-
lations-those applying to buildings
more than two years old-will not
be put into effect until December
81, the Commissioners decided to-
day.
The regulations. application OF
which already has been postponed
twice since they were drawn up
March 8, 1916, were to have become
effective tomorrow. Instead, a 19-
member citizens committee will con-
tinue its efforts to tone down the
new rules as they affect buildings
already in existence when the regu-
lations were prepared.
In agreeing to this third postpone
lnent. the city heads noted that no
witnesses opposed 1t at a hearing on
he question at the District Building
esterday.
Twelve witnesses, on the other
hand, led by Charles j. Bauer,
'ecretary OF the Building Owners
and Managers Association OF Metro
politan Washington, argued that
quitting the rules into effect tomor-
row would make it necessary to tear
down many buildings here.
The part of the egress regulations
applying to new buildings went into
effect in March, 1916, but was
amended last fall after building
owners complained of the cost of
compliance.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Kenneth e. Madsen. who represented
the Commissioners at yesterdays
hearing, said later he was sure the
citizens committee could finish its
work of modifying the regulations
by December 81.

mates from agencies desiring Chest

ties is not contemplated until the
