By Dudley Ann Harmon United Press Correspondent Paris, June 21 tU.R) Liberat ed Paris, once the fashion and night life center of the world, is an impoverished city today, rid den by inflation and gouging black-marketeers. It is a city where a pair of leather shoes costs $130, a bath tub $500 and an ordinary kitchen chair $20. And where a discon solate chambermaid says sadly: Tough For Rich Now "The only difference In ten months of liberation is that now it's even getting tough for the rich." Today, even wealthy engaged couples haunt the famous Pari sian "flea markets" in search of second-hand linen, furniture and table ware. To equip a five-room apartment even modestly would cost a honeymooning couple $10 000. All last winter a man with money could eat black market food every night, whereas the poor frequently went for six weeks and more without even a morsel of horseflesh. The re sults were apparent in the April elections, which showed a mark ed swine to the left. Now there are many In Paris who fear the communists will take over the government. And there are as many more who fear they won't. food Situation Bad Meanwhile, the ordinary Pari sian housewife teeters to market en her uncomfortable wooden shoes to find that the food situ ation Is no better than ever, with the exception of fats. The average stenographer earning perhaps $60 a month, cannot afford strawberries priced at $1.60 a pound. But her chief complaint is not over such lux uries as strawberries. She Is irritated by the irregu larity of her standard rations. She may be able to get two pounds of potatoes this week and then none at all for a month. On the other hand, there Is plenty of bread and meat ration has gone up from nothing at all to enough for one meal per week. Last week Parisians received two-fifths of a pound of Ameri can lard and government hopes to increase this allotment. Black Mart Worries The government, too, is trying bard to stamp out the black mar ket. The food ministry now has ordered restaurants to serve only one meat meal weekly and steps are being taken to force farmers to sell their produce many farmers had been holding back supplies on the claim that prices weren't high, enough to pay for their fodder. But most Frenchmen are skep tical of the new program. They are convinced there will be no real improvement until more meatsugar and fats are import ed, along with machinery and fertilizer for the farmers. Returning prisoners of war who found the rich were getting suits for $300 apiece, whereas the government was unable to out fit them, simply raided the de partment stores and took what they needed. Now the government has taken over the clothing stores in Paris, but the liberated prisoners still are dissatisfied because they can't draw the double meat ra tions to which their special ra tion cards entitle them. to- WEATHER Northern California: Clear day, tonight and Friday except coastal high fog and scattered afternoon thunderstorms over high mountains. Much cooler In Sacramento valley and in north ern San Joaquin valley today. Clnilni tlma lot Sunday Too Ull to CImiiij 5 .10 Saturday aftarnoon Plaasa remember GIRL SCOUT GAMP E "Because of the splendid co operation with the Red Cross swimming program, the Rogue River . Transit company and Dodge's Riding academy the Girl Scout day camp program schedule has been possible," Mrs. Marjorie Hopkins, Scout executive secretary, stated today. "Over 160 different girls have registered. The average dally attendance, in spite of the unusu ally hot weather has been over 140. "With this large attendance several additional counselors have been added to the staff and others are needed. In checking the registrations it has been found that one-fourth of the campers are not Girl Scouts, which proves the program is an "all eirls " dav camn. "Other girls in the community who are not Girl Scouts may sun register for the second week of day camp," the secretary concluded. A snecial feature of Thurs day's oroeram were game con tests in each unit, presented by Mrs. Olive Floyd of the County Recreation club. Frisco Hotels To Banish Civilians Knn Franpiseo.
