CASINO REBUILDING
 MIRACLE

Not far from the war-scared port of Naples and just a few kilcmeters from the blue-green Mediterranean is an illustration of the miracles wrought by the Italians ill rebuilding their coun- try. On a hill stand the bare, crumpled walls of the most famous monastery in the World-the Abbey on Mount Casino.
 Cassino Abbey was built 529 years after the death of Christ. Four teen hundred years later the Nazis, having no regard for God or man, converted it into a fortress block ing the advance of the U. s. Third Army. The monastery is now re- duced to gaunt and gaping skeleton

RUSSIAN LIVING STANDARD

Tn an article published in recent edition of me New York Times Will Lissner makes an int'~eSsins comparison between conditions in the United States and Russia The best measure of the average mans being is how much work he has do to get the things he needs and wants. It is clear from this article that the real wages of a worker in Soviet Russia are great deal lower than those of worker in this country.
 The Russian works an hour and ten minutes for a pound of wheat bread, the American about seven minutes The Russian works two hours and thirty four minutes for pound of lump sugar the American five and half minutes The Russian works an hour and eighteen minutes for quart of milk the Ameri- can ten minutes. The Russian works fourteen hours and six minutes for pound of coffee, the American twenty-two and half minutes. If the Russian wants a new suit he must labor more than ITS hours for a cheap one 5SO hours for good one. The American buy a suit. of l00 per cent virgin wool in return for twenty eight hours and four minutes of his time On the positive side the Russian workers wages are supplemented by cheaper (and on the average worse housing than own; free meals in factories; and cheaper medical care and social services provided by the state.
 But the great gap between the two countries re- mains also the great in Russia itself be- tween the working masses and those selected Tor special privileges and rewards As we have our for tunate groups whose incomes are raised far above the average by intelligence energy inheritance or plain luck so too does Russia under it's modified Marxst system. Some large accumulations have doubtless been practically confscated by the devaluaton of the ruble but special incomes for special services un- usual subserviency to the Russian state have appar enty not been cut short the dictatorship of the proletarat" in Russia has produced proetariat which is set apart from the fortunate few is dictated to and is not we'll off War losses account for some of Russias poverty, but certainly not for all of it. It existed before the The Marxian dream has not been realized.

not know only know that I am now teaching my children from this Bible that we must have no more war.
 Therefore continued the school teacher, T ask that you take this Bible to the people of Italy and tell them that one who once made parachutes to be used against them now is teaching her chil- dren that the Italians are our friends and that we must all live by the Sermon on the Mount.
 So I gave the Bible from the school teacher in Trenton to the President of Italy. He seemed greately touched.
 Please tell this school teacher" ," he said, that I appreciate her thoughtfulness. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. And accept this Bible on behalf of the people of Italy.
 Please also tell the American people what a great thing their Friendship Train is. Italy will not forget this help. And we are especially grateful because we know it is from the heart. Please lind the means of thanking them all for me"
 Then, turning to the problems of Italy, the President continued:
 ''Italy has been united only comparatively short time. We also underwent a dictatorship which did us great harm. We came in- to dictatorship by force and we overthrow it by force. We were also defeated in the war, and we suffered far greater damage than some of our neighbors who lost all the battles but won the war. And when the Germans retreated, they destroyed everything.

 The people of Cassino are not bitter. They figure that when a little town like theirs gets food from friends, 5000 miles away, then there is hope, And they hope that never again will there be an- other war. CaSSino knows what war means.

 3. That any agreement on the Berlin currency issue must be reached with joint control set up to guarantee no nation would bt injured financially.

ASKS BOOST AGE PENSION,
 GIs ADDED
Propose Broadened Social Security Program-Might
 Cost Billion Dollars

' WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-R- Proposals for a broaden ng social security program-being submitted to the White House today-reported- ly would bring soldiers, sailors, fiji CTS and marines under the civilian old age pension system.
 Fed eral Security Administrator Oscar Ewing Il a d the proposals drafted. They might cost $1no0,000, ;, coo if approved by Cop9rs-s.
 Among other things, Ewing asks a sharp boost in the amount of pensions and survivors benefits paid under the system.
 The present S39.90 pension for an old couple, Ewing was quoted as saying, amounts to slow starva- tion.p
 Upwards of 20,0OO,O0O neU carers would be brought under social se- cur.ty protection, the spokesman said, in addition to the 35,0o0,00o now covered, if the FSA rropo a,s are adopted
 Farm workers, domestic heir, t'te self employed, employees ot the Federal, state and local CoyerA- ments. and workers in hospitals and other institutions not now protect cd would be embraced.
 The proposal to include the l. 100000 or more members of the armed services was urged in Ew- ing's annual report to the President several months ago. Servicemen were not originally covered because it was deemed that | the armed forces own retirement systems were adequate. Growth of the civilian army" concept, in | which great numbers of men shift between military and civilian en- ployment, has changed the picture Ewing said.

U. 5. Rejects Request
|0f Reich Communists
For Unity PIebiseite
BY the Assoeioisd Press

BERLIN, April 1.-THE United
States rejected today Communist
request for plebiscite on the ques-
ton Of German unity.
The rejection was accompanied
by warning to the German people
against 'the kind of unity that
brings economic and political
slavery"
The Peoples Congress- Com
munist-controlled organization rec
ognized only by the Soviet military
administration, asked for permission
to conduct the plebiscite in the
American zone.
Never Approved by Allies.
Maj. Gen. George P. Hays, Deputy
American Military Governor, re-
jected the request. He said the
congress represented only a small
percentage of the German people
and never has been approved by
the Allied Control Authority.
The congress sent similar re-
quest to the British and French.
| Meanwhile, in Frankfurt, Amer
ican authorities announced the sec
ond increase in the basic food ra-
ton for the British American zones
in two months. The May ration will
be 1888 calories daily, compared
with 1850 in April. Previously 1t
was 1850.
Russians Agree to Meet.
In another phase of the German
picture, British sources said the
Russians had made a tardy effort
to meet again with the British to
investigate the April collision of
a British transport and Soviet fight
er plane.
They said the Russian note, ex-
pressing willingness to hear all wit
nesses after expert evidence Is
given, came too late to be taken as
a sincere effort to cooperate.
The British last night ended their
inquiry into the crash, which killed
Is persons. Their findings will be
sent to Gen. Sir Brian Robertson,
British military commander for
Germany, in London.
