GOLDBERG UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. A three-year survey of the United Nations shows that actual crude slavery still exists in some sec- tions of the worid, but information is incomplete and the solution is not easy. U. N. Secretary General Trygve Lie summed up ihe situation in a report calling on the U. N. Eco- jmomic and Social Ccuncil to study further steps to meet the slavery |problem when it meets here March 31. In Lie’s report, based on the work of a special committee which has been studying the slavery prob- lem since 1950, Lie told the council no satisfactory definition of slav- ery ever has been reached. The world has been trying to control slavery under an interna- tional treaty framed by the League of Nations in. 1926. This defines | Slavery as “the status or condition ‘of a person over whom any or all {of the powers attaching to the lright of ownership are exercised.” The special committee reported that other forms of. servitude in- clude debt bondage, serfdom or persons for hire, marriage cus- toms where the woman is deprived of free human rights, and child transfers for payment or other conditions which exploit the child. Nine U. N. members and seven non-members did not answer re- quests for governmental informa- tion. Lie listed them as Cuba, Haiti, Liberia, Nicaragua, Para- guay, Poland, Saudi Arabia, The Ukraine and Yemen, all U. N. members; and Albania, Andorra, the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, Portugal, Romania, San Marino and Spain. The Ukraine answered only by [rely attention to a Soviet Union reply that ‘‘the problem of slavery j++ does not arise in the Soviet | Union.” The slave labor inquiry did not apply to the question of forced la- bor and labor camps. That was taken up by another assembly com- mittee after charges that millions of subjected peoples were used as slave labor by the Soviet Union. Both Lie and the special com- mittee agreed that some govern- ment information received dif- fered sharply from information gathered from private sources. Lie told the Economie and Social Council that it appeared further study is necessary to find out just how much and what kind of servi- tude still exist, before measures to stamp it out could be considered, 20 Billion Is — Sum Suggested For Air Defense NEW YORK (®—The New York Times said Monday that additional defense expenditures running to 20 billion dollars have been proposed | in the latest study to guide U. S. defense officials on how best to prepare the nation for air attack. The Times, in a story from Washington, reported that the sum is said to be recommended in ‘the most recent paper in a continuin study by’ the Massachusetts Inst: tute of Technology, under an Ai Force contract~ for two years’ standing. High Air Force strategists, the newspaper added, are “debating whether such a sum should be spent for purely defensive devices, such as radar stations and warn- ing systems, or for strategic bomb- ers capable of striking at the enemy bases.” The Times story continued: “The (MIT) paper stresses the vulnerability of American metro- politan centers to air attack, and urges the importance of acting soon to protect them. It emphasizes Russia’s growing strength, not only in atomic weapons but in inter- continental bombers: to transport them “The report is described as hav- ing been challenging enough to command attention in high Air Force circles, although there has been no decision within this branch jof the Defense Department as to the basic recommendations.” Underground Atomic Explosion Disclosed LAS VEGA’, Nev. —For the first time, the eAtomic Energy Commission has disclosed it pro- | duced an underground nuclear ex- plosion at Nevada Preving Ground. | There were two unusual detona- tions late in November, 1951, io {which the AEC hitherto declined |to specify “the method of de- | livery.” It was assumed that Sat- lurd-~'s announcement referred to these unexplained explosions wh'~h j s ceaks, rather than clouds, tinto the air. j There are sevétal points to re-! member in choosing curtain ma- terial for your kitchen. f it is colorfast. has high resis tance to fire, is soil remstant and ‘deteriorates little with exposure \ Lght and best, Peonage on farms, contracting out | [2] Gunfighter’s Return by Leslie Ernenwein: EVEN then Rimbaud thought he}? ind scompahes. a grin. * | | Chapter 22 | might oe dreaming; might be “There is,” Rimbaud rej Fed. e helf, behind the flour | imagining this, What would Della| #4 Sugar.” | be doing here? “Are you shot?” she insisted. “No, but they booted my ribs,” ; Rimbaud said. + “You. poor man!” she’ cried. “Let me help you into the cabin.” “Find my first,” Rimbaud ; Suggested. “It’s over there near. | the water trough.

One paper, Par‘s Presse, started the campaign Saturday, and a For- eign Office spokesman conformed that Premier Rene Mayer, on his coming trip to Washington, would propose a sharp increase in Ameri- can aid in Indochina. Paper. said France would ask for a billion dollars for the coming year. The Foreign Office source said the Cabinet had not yet made up its mind what sum to ask. The paper said that if America is willing to pay for the Indochina | fighting, France would be willing to get along with less aid in Europe. The morning paper, L’Aurore, told its readers in a huge headline ‘over a front-page editorial that “if | America takes on the expense of the (international) defense of Indo- china, France could concentrate, without ‘aid from anyone, all her means on Europe and Africa and stop being an ‘assisted’ nation.” | Nowadays many waffle bakers jhave r extra convenience: They re equipped with an automatic thermostatic heat control with a ; signal light that shows when the! |baker has reached the correct ‘temperature for baking {medium or dark wa'ifles. |.

He ‘Wage-Hour Tussle May Effect Of Business Slump t | | } By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK #—The talk about = possible slump later on may play a major role in this year’s labor - management tussle over | wages and hours. Fear that the boom may be in | its final months is making some | executives wary of taking on high- er costs. And worry about a slump, according to business scuttlebutt, is making some unions concen- trate on share - the - job plans through shorter weeks, and on the various fringe benefit’ of pensions, holidays and insurance. Wage hike demands will be pushed, of course. The question is whether pay boosts this year will be as big as‘ last. | Wage increases actually started sliding after wage controls ended, according to the National Fore- men’s Institute, sen Bi it reports, During January, » ne- gotiated increases averaged around 10 cents an hour. Since controls were lifted early in February, set- tlements have averaged under 9 cents an hour, The 1952 wage hike pattern was haround 15 cents. an hour. Some |management sources ‘are now | guessing that the 1953 boost for {all industries will average nearer | 5 cents. But they predict that the unions will seek compensation through side benefits. The shorter work week is get- | ting a big hand from some work- \ers who contend that jobs are get- iting scarce because of increased productivity in some industries.

Some unions are preaching that as productivity goes up, the num- ber of jobs may contract—hence the drive for shorter hours to ‘spread the work. Whether wishful thinking or not, here are the reasons management advances for predicting smaiier wage boosts and fewer big strikes this year: Previous wage hikes have put weekly. earnings fairly high and erased old grievances; the cost of living is beginning to slip; both management and labor fear a slump and don't want to tock the boat now. The Foremen’s Institute adds an- other: “Workers can't afford to stay out on strikes during good on? New London, | tim It explains this view (which is contrary to most thinking) this way: “Good times stimulate the kind of debt commitments that necessitate a steady income.” Buying on the cuff is now at an all-time high. Billions of dol- lars are owed for homes, {furni- ture, cars, television sets The institute suspects that much of this is owed by workers who have had fattened pay checks in the last two years and felt free to take on installment debt on big- ticket appliances. Collectors insist on prompt payments—and that means week-in, week-out income. Whether wage demands may or may not be pushed so hard this year, the fringe parade continues. There are such goals winter vacations, maternity leaves, hos- pay, and a holiday on your y.
