Two out ofgvery three bookstalls splash expensively printed maga- | zines extolling the glories oi Stalin | and Mao Tze-tung.

Much of this has been effective, particularly in winning the appre- | ciation of some government offi- | cials, but in the streets among the masses, the Communists are far | ahead of America in this propa- ganda battle. Tons of literature, given away | or sold for a few cents come into |Burma from Red China and the Union. The propagan- da campaign is directed by people | who know their business. | The usual tracts on Marxism are \qutshone by dozens of slick paper as | magazines with color printing fully jas good as America’s best. The Soviet - leased theater, which operates like an ordinary movie house, mixes its out-and-out propa- “| ganda films with some of Russia’s ment at Ft. Benning, is placed on development of capable company commanders. Lt. Register’s father is persormel supervisor of the U. S. Naval Sta- tion in Key West. Young James was born Sept. 29, 1928 at Birming- ham, Ala., and was commissioned June 5 at the U. of Florida at Gainesville.

Its aim is to out-propagandize the Reds at their own game. CFA is meeting the movie chal- lenge by assisting in the production of anti-Communist Burmese films. It will aid independent student movements in the university fight- ing the well- organized Commu- nists. Books will be translated into Burmese and printed on CEA presses.

Neutral Burma Is Hottest ie Propaganda Fishing Fleet \Operator, Wife Are Murdered JACKSONVILLE (#—Police ‘of two states said murder charges will be filed against a young ac- countant for the death of a wealthy fishing fleet operator and his wife, but they were uncertain whether | te file them in Georgia or Flor- ; Ida. | Homicide Lt. H. T. Fowler said Wednesday it is not known in which state Joseph A. Cesaroni and his wife were killed. Their bodies were found Tuesday in a three-foot grave in a wooded area 12 miles north of\ Jacksonville. They had been missing from their Savannah home since Aug. 30. In Savannah, Solicitor Andrew J. Ryan said William A. Collins, 24, made a statement which told of the shooting Aug. 30 but did not name the slayer. The solicitor said Collins, whose father owns an accounting firm. had admitted he took $18,000 from the account of Cessaroni’s Thun- derbolt, Ga., and St. Augustine, Fla., fishing firm. In his statement to his lawyers, Collins was quoted by Ryan as saying: “They (Mr. and Mrs. Cesaroni) drove out to Travis Field (Savan- nah Municipal Airport) on Satur- day night Aug. 30 between 7 and 7:30 p.m. They were flagged down and shot. The pistol that officers found in my car in Jacksonville Beach is the same pistol with which they were shot.” Beyond that, Ryan said, Collins Tefused to discuss the case. Cesaroni’s car was found aban- doned on a Jacksonville street sev- eral days ago and Collins was ar- rested at nearby Atlantic Beach. ing checks on the Cesaroni firm and waived extradition to Geor- gia. He was returned to Savannah last Friday. Bodies of the couple were found after Lewis A. Strokes, a Florida wildlife officer, noticed a mound of dirt. He and Florida Highway Patrolman J. C. Iatrick dug into it until they determined human bodies were buried there. Then city and county authorities were called in. Gene Griffin, chief criminal in- vestigator for the sheriff’s office, said each body was shot once through the heart.

But “productivity as a wage de- terminant is here to stay,”’ accord- ing to a 96-page study issued today by the management consulting New York and Los Angeles. It says companies had better find productivity increase rate is in gotiate. The trouble fs, as the National Industrial Conference Board points | tivity figures for manufacturing as, a whole. The U.

The conference board, making tentative estimates of its own for all manufacturing between 1939 and 1949, shows output per man cent a year. In just one field, that of office | personnel of insurance companies, the gain in efficiency between 1940 | and 1950 is put at 31 per cent by | Devereux C. Josephs, president of | the New York Life Insurance Co. He tells the meeting of the Life Office Management Association this week in Atlantic City that most of this is due to the mech- anization of office work. The Fisher, Rudge & Neblett study also stressed management's contention that most ef the Tuc tivity increase is due to more ef- ficiency machinery. It also notes that the BLS report on 20 industries shows that in one decade an increase of 186 per cent in productivity is shown by one industry, while a second had only 1 per cent, and a third lost 14 per cent in output per man-hour. Be- cause of this variation, the study questions how valid any over-all national percentage figure would be. Labor's argument for tying wage increases to productivity gains is this: Workers’ standards of living should improve as the nation’s economy continues to spread. Oth erwise, the benefits of continued national growth will accrue to employers in the form of in- creased profits, while the em- ployes’ share dwindled propor- tionately. The long-suffering public’s side Part at least of decreased costs through output gains should be passed along in the form of lower prices or in improved quality of goods and services.
