Soviet Gains Threaten

produced more than twice as
much total energy.
Iron ore production in this
country declined due to the
recession while that in Russia
reached a new high.
Russia contributed 20.3 per
cent of the worlds steel, the
United States 28.6 per cent.
Growth Compared
Growth of industrial strength
of the Communist world In re-
lation to that of the United
States and the free world was
shown in these figures:
Between 1858 and 1858 the
USSR share of the worlds steel
output increased from 1862 per
cent to 20.3 and that. of the
entire Communist world from
1913 to 1915 per cent.
Free world steel production
declined from 77.7 to 70.4 per
cent, the United States share
from 43.1 to 28.6 per cent.
The Communists now pro-
duce half the worlds coal,
compared with 1871 per cent in
1858. They produced 31.6 per
cent Of the irop ore in 1858
against 21.1 per cent six years
earlier. The Communists also
scored gains in petroleum and
major nonferrous metals.

The Soviet Union made
major gains in mineral pro-
duction last year but the
United States continued to
lead the world by a good
margin, the Bureau of Mines
reported today.
The Soviets did displace this
country as the top producer
of coal. The United States
had led continuously since
1899. Russia also became the
largest iron ore producer.
The United States ranked
first in world production Of 20
of the So mineral commodities
covered in the 1858 study Of
data from ITO countries. Rus
STA led in eight and Canada
in three.
Two New Records
Among the metals, only
aluminium and its ore. bauxite.
established new production
records last year.
Production of both coal and
crude petroleum set records for
the 10th consecutive year.
There also were records in 1858
in output of cement, dia-
monds, diatomite. gypsum,
magnesite. phosphate rock,
4. potash and salt.
World coal production Of all
grades totaled 5,967, 900
metric tons. Russia produced
20.4 per cent of this, the
United States 1851 per cent.
United States production of
petroleum was three times that

Bill on Aides
Limits Salaries

A ban on payment OF more
than one salary to congressional
employees holding more than
one job under House jurisdic-
ton has been written into a
new bill TO permit members to
hire administrative assistants.
House Administration Com
mittee members disclosed to-
day that they tentatively APP
proved the revised measure to
replace a shorter bill that ran
into difficulties in the Rules
Committee.
Like the original bill, the new
version would permit each
House member to have an adj
ministrative assistant at a TOP
salary of about $4,000. 1t
would allow House members
from districts of more than
100000 population to have nine
other staff members. Members
from smaller districts would be
limited to a total of nine. in
Guiding an administrative as
sistant. The present maximum
is eight, although many mem
bers have only four or five.
Recent news stories about
Wholesale hiring of relatives
for House and Senate Office
STATS threw a big obstacle in
front of the bill reported out
almost a month ago by the
House Administration Commit
tee. A majority of the Rules
Committee indicated opposition
last week and the bill was
quietly returned to the other,
committee.
The revamped and enlarged
bill, House Administrator
members said, was not written
with an eye to specific instances
OF congressional nepotism Or
OF House Office or committee
staff employees drawing pay for
more than one job. But they
said there have been cases of
dual office payments in the
past. ~.
They hope the new bill might
receive more favorable recep-
ton in the Rules Committee.
1t is unlikely TO come up in that
committee for several weeks.
Another new provision in the.
bill is designed to clarity and
equalize the complicated method
of computation Of basic pay
rates for clerks and other en-
ployes Of House members.

1T is just plain nonsense to

judgment there is ample fat in

shaved without taking it out on
the basic housing needs of the

the American people will be

cost of the bill and its alleged
inflationary impact are a smoke

low-rent apartment units for
their members without the en-
ploye organizations having to
make any initial investments of
their own.
, The House Banking and Cur
rency Committee has approved
a bill which would require Fed
eral employe unions and other
non-prof1t groups to put up only
2 per cent of the cost of such
projects. House action on the
bill is expected soon.
Both bills liberalized present
provisions Of the law. The final
measure adopted by Congress is
expected to permit Government
employe unions to go full-steam
ahead on building these prof.
ects for Federal workers.
40 Years to Pay
The Senate-approved bill pro-
vides for 100 per cent amortiza-
ton over a period of 40 years.
In other words, Government
employe groups would get the
necessary funds for the projects
without any initial outlay Of
their own and would have 40
years to repay the loan.
The House committees bill
provides for SO per cent
amortization - the prese n
amortization rate is 80 per cent
which means that employee
groups would have to pay only
2 per cent of the initial cost.
1t would be 8 per cent less than
the present 10 per cent initial
cost they must assume.
The House bill, however. is
more liberal than the Senate's
in permitting the unions to
pay the cost back over a 50-year
period.
The Senate-approved bill
would allow half of the en-
ployes who live in these re-
tirement projects to be under
the age of so, and the other
half over age so.
Rents Estimated
Employe leaders say the
apartments - which probably
will be located in either Flori-
da or California-would rent
for $50 or $50 a month, includ-
ing utilities.
Recreational features also
would be provided, such as
fishing, swimming, movies, tele-
vision. community projects. etc.
William Doherty, president
of the National Association. of
Letter Carriers, and Wallace
Legge, industrial secretary of
the National Postal Transport
Association. left for Florida to-
day to look over sites for the
proposed projects. Both groups
plan to get the project under
way as soon as the law is en-
acted.
Other Government employe
unions undoubtedly will also
start similar projects once the
law is enacted.
Although Congress enacted a
law several years ago to en-
courage construction of such
units, the fact that Federal
employe groups and other nom
profit organizations had to put
up 10 per cent Of the initial
cost discouraged such ventures
because of the large initial ex-
penditure involved.
