Europe Erases Scars
By Edward Curtis

LONDON.-Five years after the
war, millions still are waiting for
a home of their own to rise from
the rubble of the conflict in Eu-
rope.
From Moscow to London new
homes and business structures are
going up. But it will be years
before all the bomb and shell shat
tered buildings are replaced.
The havoc wrought on the
homes of Europe was fantastic
The loss ran into billions of dol
lars. Shortages of hard money
and materials have dogged recon.
struction work. Some material
supplies are easier now, but the
problem of finance remains Sc
we're obstacle in many countries
The wars end brought a heavy
demand for homes. War-weary
veterans wanted a place of their
own for their families. The birth
rate rose sharply.
In Britain 795,000 new homes
have been erected since the war
The country now has more houses
than before, but thousands still
are on the waiting lists.
A survey of the countries hard
est hit shows the grim figures OF
the tremendous job of reconstruc-
ton.
In Britain 100000 homes were
destroyed or damaged so badly as
to be unlivable. Another 070.00C
were damaged slightly.
The War Damage Commission
already has paid out 876 million
pounds ($2,452 100000. Part Of
the money came from a specia
insurance fund set UP during the
war, most of it from the treasury
About 10000 of the destroyed
homes have been rebuilt. 142,00(
of the severely damaged buildings
have been put back in shape. Re.

structures is virtually complete
but officials estimate it will bt

blitzed areas as London's East Enc

Ukraine Far
From Utopio
By Edword Cronkshow

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS reports
about the disturbed state Of the
West Ukraine, which have never
been admitted in the Moscow
Press, have once more been con-
f1rmed by Lvov radio.
Some idea of the true state
of affairs behind what Moscow
calls the successful collective
zation of this great area taken
from Poland, and of the virtual
obliteration of the more pros
porous and educated peasants,
is indicated by q number of
references to the poverty of the
human material available for
running the new collectives.
One report, pointing out that
people who only recently were
poor peasants or laborers with
out proper education now have
to be called on to manage coll
lective farms" commends q cer-
tain village schoolmaster for
taking under his wing the new
chairman of the Budyenny COL
lective and helping him "to
educate himself. according to
the secondary school syllabus"
Savage Struggle
1t seems fairly clear from all
reports that the sustained fight
against the rich and medium
peasants, the so-called kulaks,
has been in the Western Ukraine
no less savage than the strug-
gle which went on 20 years ago
in the Eastern Ukraine. where
even by 1941 agriculture had not
fully reached the production
Jewels of the precollectivization
days.
Another interesting feature is
the extraordinary prominence
given to series of articles and
broadcastS outlining from the
Kremlin's point of view the
course of the Ukrainian nation
alist struggle during and since
the war. The existence of this
struggle for independence has
been completely hidden from the
Russian people as a whole, al
though fighting was certainly
going on as recently as 1947.
The revelations now made by
Lvov radio and the local Ukrai-
nian Press, which at last admit
the magnitude of the fight in
order%o discredit the Ukrainian
Nationalists and prove that they
were nothing but collaborators
with the Nazis, must be taken
as an indication that at the
very least the struggle for in
dependence still exercises an in
f1uence on the Imagination of
many Ukrainians under Soviet
rule.

92,700 were put up. Housing for
another 10000 families is under
construction. In this same period
10000 destroyed residential build
ings were rebuilt and work is
under way on another 10000.
Some $4,000 damaged houses
have been repaired.
Nearly all of the money for
work comes from the central gov
eminent. Most of the new work
and the reconstruction has been
in the traditional French style of
heavy stone. A few projects have
been experimentally ultramodern.
Private builders have been dis
couraged by high building costs
and low controlled rents. Officials
estimate reconstruction could be
completed in about 10 years. The
present rate of government ex-
penditure and the slowness of
private builders to act may put
completion off for 80 to 40 years.
Western Germany still is digging
away at the rubble. Reconstruc-
ton officials say one of the big
jobs is to remove / billion cubic
feet of smashed masonry. That's
enough to fill the Grand Canyon.
They estimate it will take a
quarter of a century to build all
the houses needed in the war
battered Western German re-
public. The cost would be $12
billion to $14 billion in Western
Germany, and SIS billion to 50
billion in West Berlin.
They say 2.5 million dwelling
units - one-fourth of Western
Germany's prewar housing-were
destroyed in the war and figure 5
to 6 million new ones are needed
now because of the influx of 3
million refugees from the Russian
dominated East.
Russia Rebuilds
About 100000 dwelling units
have been built since the end of
the war. The 1850 program calls
for erection of 250,000 more.
About half of the money for re-
construction came from the gov
eminent.
In sprawling Russia the govern
ment says the reconstruction OF
war devastated areas has made
great progress. The rebuilding of
such badly damaged cities as
Stalingrad, Kiev, Leningrad and
others is going ahead with indus
trial and agricultural production
in the areas of the U. S. S. r.
which Germany occupied over the
prewar level.
War damage caused by the Ger
man invasion in terms of destruc-
ton of buildings. equipment and
the like was officially listed in
1945 at $128 billion.
Russia has rejected modernistic
architecture as "decadent." New
construction is of contemporary
Soviet design.

Air Coach Flies Directly to Tampa Now
By Jacques FutreIIe
The Stor's Trovel Editor

A new and cheaper air coach
service between Washington and
Tampa, Fla, was inaugurated Fri
day by National Airlines.
Start of the service followed
closely on the heels of approval
by the Civil Aeronautics Board
and means that those preferring
the economy of air coach travel
will not have to change planes and
make connections in Atlanta, Ga,
Eastern Air Lines has for some
time offered night coach service
between Washington and Tampa
via Atlanta.
Nationals new flights, in four
motor DC-4s, start southbound in
New York end are direct and non-
stop between Washington and the
transportation hub of Florida's s
Gulf Coast. Although the CAB
tariff generally is uniform for diff
ferent airlines serving the same
destinations, Nationals Wash
ington-Tampa air coach fare for
direct service is about 81 cheaper
than EaStern's through Atlanta.
National sells the one-way ticket
at $500 without taxi, which is
nearly SIT under regular flights.
Southbound departures from
Washington are at 2:43 am, with
arrival scheduled in Tampa at
6:33 am. Coincidentally with the
new coach service, National ar
ranged connecting service at
Tampa for Havana, with arrivals
scheduled in the Cuban capital at
1915 am.

no accommodations are available

But that need not preclude the
enjoyment of the Yuletide in the

Inn and the Lodge reached ca
pacity about six weeks ago, rooms
are reported still available in
private homes.
A telephone call to the Will

it is almost the eleventh hour for

accommodations question. Miss
