The robins had gone to sleep within

electrocuted.

Mysterious RubIes

After a second and third look at the 1858
Soviet budget, official American experts have
concluded that the Kremlin-despite claiming
to have made a reduction of about per cent
in its military outlays-has actually done no
such thing. but has instead engaged in fiscal
Seight of hand calculated to hoodwink the out
side world
This conclusion is based on the fact that the
Russians, in their current budget have set aside
SO billion rubleS for other expenditures"
whereas they set aside only ASS billion for the
same purpose in their 1852 budget. This repre-
sents Jump of 39.5 billion, or 90 per cent-a
huge increase in outlays on things that the
Kremlin apparently does not want to specify
because they presumably include items Of a

the condition of its people has improved
little since the nation was stabilized in
the postwar period.
Real wages in France today are actu-
ally about the same as what they were
prior to the war, according to statistics
compiled by our own Government
people.
The average weekly earnings Of
single French workers in January, 1858,
were 5720 francs. This is about SIG,
sum which wouldn't get an American
tourist and his wife out of good
restaurant in Paris.
Money wages. however, are not all of
the income of French worker. He
has extensive social security benefits.
Wage statistics are given for single
workers because the family benefits for
married workers are too complex to
include in arriving at averages.
This social security setup in France
had most of it's growth in the period
Immediately after the liberation, when
the leftwing atmosphere prevailed in
French political life.
Today the pendulum has swung to
the right, as it has in other countries.
and the unrest in France is largely
founded on real and imaginary fears
that the government plans to trim the
social benefits.
Evening star., 1953-08-15

But the real difficulty in France is
probably the atrophied condition of its
economic society.
France has neither the dynamic cap
italism of the United States nor the
compulSive weapons of totalitarianism
as means for realizing fuller ma.
terial life.
One possible reason for the caution
and sterility of French capitalism is
the static population of France. Its
population of AZ million never seems to
vary. United States industrialists and
economic planners, on the other hand,
are always setting their sights on con-
stantly increasing population and pro-
duction.
The institution of consumer credit"
as we know it in the United States, the
gimmick that gets people to buy on
time, does not exist in France. If the
Frenchman needs something, he stasheS
his pennies away until he's got the
price.
The institution of advertising, :"
which is the essence of American mer-
chandising techniques, and without
which, consumption in this country
would decline speedily, exists in France
only in a most rudimentary stage.
There's practically nothing to read in
the Paris papers but news.

What Seems to Be Wrong With Fronce2
By Edwin A. Lohey

EOR any one who has visited Paris

the culture of the West, as I did re-
Gently. there's temptation to say
nothing'S wrong with France.
But the frequent twitches from So
cial, economic or political crises in
France are more than bad case OF
indigestion.
The informed men in our own Gov
ernment point to couple of serious
ailments in the body polite and eco
noric of France.
First, of all. France is living in a
dynamic world with status quo men
tality. The Capitalism" of France. or
the free enterprise system, is in such
an arrested state of development that
the country simply cannot attain its
full potential of wealth.
If a televiSion company in this coun-
try, for example, curtailed its manu-
featuring and sales program to the
cautious target of replacing old sets
instead of looking for new markets. it
would be operating about the way the
French economy has been operating
and would have as many crises.
Secondly, the French government is
in business up to its neck. Its adven-
lures in socialism, which make hun
dreds of thousands of industrial work.
ers government employees. tend to con-
vert the economic problems Of stag
nant society into explosive political is
sues.
The French government owns 81 per
cent of the railroad system; "a per cent
of the French Line of steamships: ~
per cent of a steamship line to the Far
East; all of Air France; 80 per cent
of a pipe line in France: IS per cent
of a boat line on the Rhine: all the
coal mines and potash deposits; all the
utility companies.
The French government likewise owns
the Renault Automobile Company.
which it took away from its private
owners after the liberation. The gov
ernment also has taken over several
banks and a few life insurance COM
panies.
The government owns 80 per cent of
the facilities for the manufacture of
aircraft: has a partial interest in a
company selling petroleum; manu-
factures commercial alcohol from gov
ernment subsidized beets; has propri-
etary interest in the national radio net
work, a newsreel company. and a news
agency; and virtually controls Gig
arettes and matches through the use OF
the excise tax machinery.
The static nature of French capital
ism means that there is no room for
adjustment if the worker finds his eco
nomic condition on the downgrade
There are no new industries competing
for labor which finds itself unhappy
in the old job.
And the extensive government hold
ings in business establish direct po-
litical link between the workers and
their bosses, which makes it easy to
turn an economic dispute into a po-
litical crisis. (There are 100000 rail-
road workers and 100000 miners work.

A few sturdy sparrows sought the
fused to go to bed until at least half an
hour after the last jay.
Probably this was due as much to fear
of the larger birds as an innate determi-
nation to get the last seed.
The man who feeds the birds at the
Chevy Chase bus terminal told me that
the sparrows there were so bold that
they literally ate at his feet.
He said this contrasted with the way
the English sparrows acted in his own
yard, where songbirds are fed the year
around.
At his own home, the birds regard
him with great suspicion and run as if
a fiend were after them the moment
he opens the back door.
And this, mind you. after he has been
feeding them there for 20 years.
The common sparrows and pigeons
at the terminal fly right down, the spar
rows even jostling his shoes
He wanted to know why this was So
Undoubtedly it is merely circumstance,
not disposition; the terminal birds know
that they have large competition and If
they want anything to eat they must
rush In to get it.

registered lobbyist.
For further detailed and documen-
tary information about the activities
of church lobbies in Washington, I
would refer Mr. Voelpel to the book,
Church Lobbying in the Nations Capt.
tai" by Luke Ebersole, Macmillan, 1851
DR.. EberSole wrote, not as a. critic of
church lobbying, but as one who favors
this type of activity and believes the
public should know how Hhe churches
operate in the political field.
Existence of these church lobbies is
particularly significant in view of the
recent attack by Senator Estes Kefau-
yer on the American Council of Christian
Laymen and its president. According
to the Senator. the president of ACCL
committed grieVous sin by writing
to members of the Congress about
the "follies, fallacies and falsehoods"
of IVA, even though he made it clear
that he wrote as citizen and not as
president or in behalf of the council.
The Senator has written to the
Treasury demanding that the tax-ex-
empt status of ACCL be revoked be-
cause of this action of its president
and because the lawmakers received
with the letter two publications of
ACCL which attempt to show church
members that when the social action

inclined to believe that all the additional money
has been earmarked for big expansion of work
on nuclear ornaments, including the hydrogen
bomb whose present existence in the Soviet
Union-despite Premier Malenkov's vaguely
boastful remarks-is still very much to be
doubted
Possibly, of course the Kremlin has or
dered this great increase in "other expendi-
lures" merely to make good on Mr.. Malenkov's
promise to provide the masses with more food,
"good-quality smart clothes and elegant foot
wear" But common sense suggests that that
is very silly idea. Common sense suggests
that we had better reckon with the probability
that these mysterious extra rubleS have purely

The Ruined Isles of Greece

Thousands of people brought up in the
classic tradition must have heard of the earth
quakes of Cephalonia Zante and Ithaca with
particular sorrow because of what those islands
mean in terms of history and culture. Such
disasters of course, are pitiful no matter where
they occur; but it also is true that the beautiful
isles of the Ionian Sea have special claim on
the affection of those who value antique Greece
Homer's OdysseuS came from Ithaca two
mountain groups famous for centuries for their
produce of currants, olive oil and wine, exported
the world around. Zante too, has been cele-
brated for ages because of its rich yield of
grapes and citrus fruits, sought by long list
of conquerorS-the Macedonians, the Romans
the Vandals, the NormanS and the VenetianS
among the number. Still more, however was
Cephalonia noted for its wealth of orchards
arbors and bright fields of grain.
Nature obviously was good to those lime
stone hills rising verdure-crowned from the
clear blue water. Yet it is nature which now
has ruined them. The entire PeloponneSian
area lies within the seismic belt which grdles
the planet from Spain to the southernmost tip
OF South America. An earthquake made Euboea
an island in 425 B. c.. Helice and Bura were
swallowed up in 373 B. c.; DuraS and dozen
Campanian cities were buried in 345 B. c.;
Lysiamchia was destroyed about 283 B. C. The
record from the start of the Christian era on
ward shows similar sequence of disastrous
tremorS. What has happened in the Ionian
sector may be followed by other tragic proofs
of the mobility of our earth. Fortunately, we
are single community in terms of sympathy
and fellow-feeling as we'll as geologically Help
