Bulgaria: Russia wrote these ar- miszice terms, too. ‘luey direct her to pay reparations to Greece and Yugoslavia, where her troops caused the most destruction, The amount has not been set but the

claims are to be presented at Paris. Romania: Over the next six

years she is to bay Russia $300.- 000.000 in oil. grain, timber, sea and river craft, and machinery. Also Romania turned over to Rus- sia the area oi Bessarabia. But she received. under Russian dic- tatton, Transylvania. which had been part of Hungary.

Hungary: Besides losing Tran- sylvania, she is also to pay $300,- 000,000 in reparations. But her payments are split in recognition of the lands on which her troops caused destruction. The sum oi $200,000,000 is to go to Russia within the next eight years; $30,- 000,000 is ear-marked for Czecho- slovakia. and $70,000,000 for Yugo- slavia. These payments are also in kind: machinery, river craft, grain and livestock.

Complaints Mount Against Bread Rationing System

LONDON, July 23 __ Many Britons refused bread and cakes today and a delivcrymcns strike spread lo two more areas amid mounting complaints against the three-clay-cld bread lationiog system.

Flood Minister John Strachey meanwhile promised consumers more sugar, beer and candy.

The buyers‘ strike left an in- creasing number oi bakeries and stores wit-h stale supplies of cakes and bread. Some stores sold them without coupons despite the possib- ility of legal action against them.

Two groups of British delivery workers at Calnerwell and Stam- 10rd followed the example of Northern Ireland “roundsmen" and struck -in protest against longer work hours caused by having u, collect coupons for breed. Belfast baloera called a meeting to decide whether to join the protest.

In London, the National Associa- -tion oi Master Bakers over stren~ umis opposition withdrew its mo- tion of last week threatening a "rc- volt" against rationing It decided to try the plan, os its 12,000 mem- bers have been doing, and "let it collapse through its own defects."

Mr. Strachey announced these food and drink increases at a press conference:

Sugar-an extra pound a person during the week beginning Sept. 15. The present ration is half a pound a week

Oandy~hali an ounce a week more beginning Sept 15, bringing the monthly ration to one pound.
