Standards Of Livinq
|0f Russians Below
1913, U. 5. Reports
BY the Asseeiotsd Pres,

The State Department said yes
terday that living standards for
the Observation-Disclosures of Mos
cows claims to the contrary-have
gone down possibly one-third since
the Communists seized power.
"The series of five-year plans
has been directed mostly toward
building up heavy industry re-
|quired by war preparations" the
department said. Figures are
jealousy guarded, but those avail
able indicate that in 1850 the
average worker could buy with
what he earned about two-thirds
as much as a worker in st. Peters,
burg in 1918. before World War
and the revolution.
$4,000 Copies Printed.
The department gave this criti-
cal summary of conditions in the
Soviet Union in a new 96-page
booklet called "Let Freedom Ring" +"
Fifty thousand copies were printed
for initial distribution in the
United States and overseas, to
"highlight the essentials of the
present situation" in the East
West struggle.
The publication seeks to debunk
Moscow propaganda claims for life
in the Soviet Union, as a preface
to an account of Western efforts
to block Communist expansion.
"The optimistic promises of the
revolutionary leaders remain un-
fulfilled" the booklet says. "Liv-
ing standards have not improved;
they have gone down. The COM
mon people of Russia have suf-
fered for over a generation. while
millions have been forced to toll
under brutal industrial speed
up. -.
Earnings Contrasted.
'MoSt Of the workers in the
Soviet Union earn no more than
$50 rubles a month-not nearly
enough to buy a mans suit of
poor quality. This contrasts with
earnings Of up to 1000 rubles a
month in the executive levels, plus
important extras.
"The same wide variation exists
in the Red Army. A lieutenant, for
example. gets 100 times as much
as private. whose pay is rubles
a month. In the United States
Army the difference in pay be-
tween the same ranks is only
about three to one"
The ruble is arbitrarily valued
at Is United States cents but is
actually worth less.
The publication said that to an
American the extent of Com
unist controls is incredible.

Senate Probers Await
Reply From Mccarthy
On Request 10 Appear
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Senate Elections subcom-
mittee investigating charges made
against each other by Senators
Mccarthy, Republican, Of Wiscon-
sin, and Benton, Democrat, Of
Connecticut, still was waiting to
hear from Senator Mccarthy to-
day as it prepared to question
Senator Benton behind closed
door.
The three-member subcommit-
tee asked both Senators last Fri
day to appear not later than to-
morrow to answer questions grow
in gout Of its investigation.
Subcommittee Counsel Paul J.
Cotter said Senator Benton has
sent word from Bermuda that he
would be available. Senator Nc
Carthy, however, was reported by
his office to be hunting deer in
Northern Wisconsin, and could
not be reached.
Senator Mccarthy told news
men here last week that he had
mo present plans" to testify.
Silent ON Questioning.
The subcommittee, which has
announced 1t intends to report
on its investigation before the
new Congress starts January 8,
has refused to disclose what it
wants to ask the two Senators.
It said, however, it had advised
them Of the principal matters"
about which it wished to question
them.
In a move aimed at Senator
McCarthy's expulsion from the
Senate, Senator Benton intro
duced a resolution in August
calling for an investigation Of
the Wisconsin Senator. Senator
Benton accused him of fraud,
perjury and deceit.
Senator Mccarthy, a contro-
versial figure since he first made
his Communists in Government
charges in 1850, asked last spring
for an investigation Of the Con-
necticut Senator.
Accused as Pro-Red.
Senator Mccarthy accused SEN
ator Benton of having followed q
pro- o-Communist line while an AS
sistant Secretary of State. His
resolution also asked for investi-
cation of Senator Benton's income
tax returns from 1947 through
1850, and the collection of 1850
campaign funds for the Connecti-
cut Senator.
In the November election this
year. Senator Mccarthy won a
second Senate term, while Senator
Benton was defeated.
The subcommittee said it wanted
to question both Senators promptly
before going ahead with the prep
aration OF its report to the Senate.
The telegram to Senator Nc
Carthy said his prompt appear
ance could save the Government
much effort and expense" Sub
committee members refused to say
whether they would subpoena him
II he failed to appear by tomor-
row.

selves under the supervision of the
Communications Chief, 1t. Slant,
and the Director of the State De-
partment of Civil Defense, Colonel
d. Preston Lee. The key stations
in the radio network have the
power of $50 watts each and were
procured from the Levy Court of
New Castle County who in turn Sc
cured them from the G. A. A. when
they took over the New Castle
County Airport. This equipment

which was stored at the airport
and will need some modification be-
fore it can be put into operation.
In the next two weeks, according
to 1t. Slant, he will make a survey
of Sussex County for the proper To-
cation of the station and personnel
to attend to the operation and
maintenance. 1t. Slant in the
very near future will call meeting
of all amateur radio operators in
that County to discuss the prob
lem of location and volunteer op-
orators. All who are interested
should get in touch with 1t. Slant

eyes. Their backs and tails are
pale gray, and so are the upper
parts of their wings. Along the
outer edges of the wings, the gray
fades into white. Their pointed
wingtips are black, and their feet,
legs, and bills are dark red.
More white appears when they
soar into the air. Their bodies are
white underneath, and the light
shines through the thin, white
feathers along the edges of their
widespread wings.
At the heart of our continent,
where they spend the summer,
Franklin's Gulls settle down along
the shores of lakes and in tangled
marshes. Wherever you see few
of them, the National Wildlife
Federation reports, there are likely
to be many more nearby. For the
Gulls are neighborly and usually
live in colonies.
Each pair of Gulls builds a nest
on wet ground or on shallow water.
1t is a crude home, made of grass
and rushes, and it may be placed
on a mat of broken reeds. In the
nest the female lays from two to
four large eggs. Some of the eggs
are pale buff and some are dark,
but all have brown and lavender
marks. After twenty days the
eggs hatch. The young birds COW
cred with doWny feathers, may be
either dark brown, speckeled black,
or gray. Like their parents, they
soon are eating hearty meals of
fish, frogs, crayfsh, and insects.
The entire family performs a valu-
able service by destroying pests
which are harmful to crops.
AS the weeks go by, the young
steadily gain in size. When fully
grown, they measure fifteen inches
in length, and they can stretch
their wings to a width of nearly
three feet.
In the fall, the whole family
leaves the north. With their neigh
bors, they fly down to the coast of
Texas and Louisiana to spend the
winter. Some Franklin's Gulls
don't even stop there, but go deep
into South America.
While in the south, the birds
change slightly in color. They lose
their black hoods and wear white
on their heads until time to go
north again in the spring.
Sometimes Franklin's Gulls are
way to tell them apart, says the
National Wildlife Federation, is to
observe that Laughing Gulls have
more black and less white on their
wings. Laughing Gulls also live

GASOLINE TAX COLLECTIONS
Reached Highest Peak on Record
in State For Month of May

Gasoline tax collections in the
State of Delaware reached the
highest peak ON record in the State
for the month of May, according to
a report prepared for Leroy F.
Hawke, secretary of the State
Highway Department who is Ad-
ministrator of the Motor Fuel Tax
Division of the Department, by w.
H. Sterling, auditor of the division.
A total of $527, ,704.42 was collected
during the month of May for motor
fuel tax on the sale of 10,554, ,088
gallons of motor fuel. The in
crease in tax receipts over May of
last year was $37 7,39981 while the
gallonage sold represented an in
crease of 747,9 gallons. This is
the second time that the receipts
from motor sfuel tax exceeded the
half million dollar mark in this
State during the past IL months.
In August of last year the total
collections were $500, ,069.17 repre-
senting the tax on 10,181 1888 gal
lens of motor fuel. The increase
in gallons purchased in May of this
year over May of 1850 was 1885,
O87. Of the 80 distributors of
motor fuel licensed to collect the
taxes in this State, three reported
no receipts for the month while the
receipts collected by five others ac-
counted for about sixty percent of
the receipts. These five, and the
amount of their tax collections,
were ESQ Standard Oil Co., $685.

use of this service will enable all
growers to know when the grain is
best fitted to market, thereby in
suring the top price when sold.
There will be no guess work as to
the marketable quality of each
grain that is to be sold, relative to
moisture content, when you bring
samples to your State Laboratory,

When farmers plow the rich soil
of the plains in southern Canada
and the northern United States,
they are often followed by fiocks of
Franklin's Gulls. The big birds
hop frof burrow to furrow, chat
tering noisily and looking for the
bugs they like so well.
AS they move about, pecking in
the soft dirt, it is easy to see that
their heads are mostly black, with

When fisherman hears grunt-
ing sounds coming from a fresh
water marsh, he might think, at
first, that some baby pigs had
wandered into the reeds and cat
tails. But if he knows his way
around the outdoors, he realizes
that the noises are made by Vir-
ginia Rails.
The shy birds, though graceful
in actions, just aren't singers. Be-
sides grunting, they make kicking
sounds. And sometimes they call,
"wak-wak-wak" or "kid-ick7kid-
ick."
1t is fairly easy to hear their
harsh noises, says the National
Wildlife Federation, but not so
easy to see the birds themselves.
They live among the tangled plants
along streams and marshes, and
usually stay under cover. When
disturbed, they try to hide where
the growth is thickest, instead of
taking to the air.
Among the weeds and rushes,
they also build their homes. In a
nest made of grasses, the female
lays from five to twelve eggs
which are white or creamy with a
few brown and purple spots. The
parents take turns in sitting on
the eggs until they are hatched.
The baby Rails are greenish
