Mass Slavery
Charge Hurled
At Russians
Briton, At U. N. Council
Mttt, Draws Hot Rttort
From Soviet Delegate
By LYNN HEINZERL1NG
GENEVA. Switzerland, Aug. 3.
(PI Britain formally accused
Russia today of maintaining 10,
000,000 slave laborers In "a new
slavery organized on a mass pro
duction basis."
Russia retorted In the United
Nation economic and social coun
cil here that the British charge
simply was a smokescreen to
rover up Britain'! own labor
troubles.
The United States proposed ap
pointment of a U. N. commission
of 11 to inquire into "the nature
and extent of forced labor"
throughout the world. The U. S.
resolution suggested emphasis in
such an inquiry be placed on
"situations involving large num
bers of persons or widespread
practices of forced labor."
The British charges were made
by Corley Smith, British dele
gate, who presented what he de
scribed aa a copy of a "corrective
labor code of the Russian Soviet
Federated Socialist republic" on
rules for labor camps in the
Soviet union. The R. S. F. S. R.
is Russia's largest republic, with
Moscow as Its capital.
Russia retorted that the codes
presented by Britain actually
represented a humane system
with "re-education of the people"
as one of its aims. The Soviet
delegate said the code's object
was to place persons sentenced to
penal servitude "in condition?
which make it impossible for
them to do anything hostile to
Soviet society."
Smith had demanded that the
Russian delegate give a straight
answer, yes or no, whether the
Soviet union would permit an In
vestigation. Russian Fires Back
Soviet Delegate Arutinnian aid
the corrective labor codex quoted
by Smith was published in Eng
land In an English translation in
1936 and declared:
"In trying to make us believe
It has unearthed a sensation the
L'niteo. Kingdom does nothing but
follow the usual campaign based
on cheap blackmail and trickery
and a crude beguiling of
public opinion.
"Why do we have this cam
paign stirred up against us? Be
cause it is the practice of the
dominating classes of British im-
fierialism, whenever they feel
n straightened circumstances,
to raise an inimical campaign

UP In Seattle the other day a
man died leaving an estate
estimated at $50,000.
For 20 years he had lived the

TOKYO, Aug. 3. P General MacArthur's controversial pro
gram for breaking up Japan's economic giants ended today. The
allied occupation commander said it was "accomplished effectively."
Eleven big corporations were tagged for deconcentratlon by a
five-man review board which came here from Washington 15 months
ago to make recommendations on 325 firms listed as "excessive
concentrations." The board recommended divestment of certain
holdngs of nine others. I

and finance of Japan.

Kremlin, People Told
BELGRADE. Yugoslavia. Aug.
3. t.P) Premier Marshal Tito
forecast yesterday that Bulgaria
and Albania would quit the Moscow-led
Cominform and offered
them a helping hand in shaking
off Russian domination.
Tito has been tilting with the
Cominform (Communist Interna
tional Information bureau) since
June of last year, when Yugo
slavia's communists were ex
pelled for nationalism and other
deviations from the Moscow
brand of Marxism-Leninism.
Both Bulgaria and Albania
have had recent purges among
high communist leaders ho were
charged with heresies similar to
the accusations levelled against
Tito.
The Yugoslav leader spoke yes
terday at Skoplje before an audi
ence estimated at 350.000 by
Yugoslav officials. It was the first
time In recent months he ap
peared in Macedonia, which has
been subjected to propaganda
from anti-Tito factions urging an
independent state made up of
Yugoslav, Bulgaria and Greek
Macedonia.
Bulgaria Expected To Join
Tito declared the Bulgarian
people ultimately would ignore
"slanders against Yugoslavia and
extend their fraternal hand to
us and we will help them remove
whatever individuals have so far

Washes Dishes,
Clucks At Girls
When They Pass
NEW YORK. Aug. 3W Vis
itors have been flocking to the
John Taral home In Queens to
see a monkey that washes dishes
and has a way with the women.
Mrs. Taral says the monkey
also is a good alarm clock. Mr.
Taral says the monkey likes ci
gars and screwdrivers, though he
doesn't know why.
"You could put a million dol
lars on the table for my mon
key." Mrs. Taral said yesterday,
"and I wouldn't take It."
She said she has owned the
monkey, whose name is Mickey,
for nine years, since he was
three.
"Every time when young pret
ty girls come by, he knocks on
the window," Mrs. Taral said.
"When older women come by, he
doesn't give them a second look."
In the morning when she sleeps
too late, she said, the monkey
wakens her by knocking on his
cage.
Mrs. Taral brought the monkey
and placed him beside a sink fil
led with dishes and soapy water.
The monkey ate some soap suds
and then went to work washing
dishes.
"If you let him, he'll slay there
and wash dishes for two hours,"
said Mrs. Taral.
She placed the monkey In the
window. Several older women
passed. The monkey turned his
head. Three pretty, girls came
along, and the monkey stared
and made clucking noises.
