Among Hungarian and Bulgarian
workers generally, the Red move
is interpreted as Just another
trick" to maintain the communist
So-called trade unions. But well in
formed sources here believe that
the regimes mean business-that,
in fact, they have found it neceS-
sary to ease up on restrictions of
one kind or another in order TO
coax the workers into a better
mood.
In Hungary, proposed improve
ments'' in the existing labor law
are being discussed in the widest
circles" The projected new labor
law has not yet been published in
full, but such fragments as have
been made public show that some
limitations imposed on the work
ers are being relaxed.
For example, one new provision
stipulates that in the future, the
worker is to have the right to give
notice and change his employ
ment." Any worker whose wife Tor
husband) is employed in different
place is guaranteed to have his
Tor herr notice accepted" +"
This new concession focuses
attention on one Of the most
gIsring iniustices Of Soviet labor
law - fhe forced separation of
husbands and wives whenever
this is deemed best for the ma
tionsl economy.
The new labor concession in Hun
gary does not seem, however, alto
gether satisfactory, because anoth-
er clause of the projected new la
Dor law says: IF worker in a
new place of employment has been
unable to find accommodation for
six months or more, he has the
right to demand either to be trans
ferred back TO his old place of
work. or to be released altogether
from this particular employment.
II the right to serve notice were
truly valid, this clause would not
have been necessary.
It remains TO be seen whether
or not some modification of the
existing labor law is TO be made
also in Rumanis. where denial of
the elementary rights of families
to be together has been particular
ly cruel.

A few columns ago, this writer
criticized the hearty welcome that
some officials gave to Max

cisn was that Schmeling served
in Hitler's Army and that his role
as a Hitler 'ssuperman" should not
be forgotten.
A Philadelphia reader wrote
letter agreeing with this view
point. In fact, the Schmeling in
cident prompted him to write a
moving poem. The Philadelphia,

low the poem so the name could
not be clearly distinguished. The
name appears to read Ben Anton.
His poem is as follows:

Of all the pains that mothers
