Widen Strike Froniln U. S.

U. N. Deny » Slave Labor

By Norman Altltedfcr

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Oct. 1a -(OP)— Two women delegates from Britain and Canada Saturday vehemently tossed back Russian- b1°° fill-FEB! in the United Nations that their countries are abusing im- migrants and using slave labor.

Senator Calrine Wilson of Ot- fawn. and Barbara Castle, youthful British mem-ber of Parliament. spoke in the U.N. Assembly's $- member social committee during a debate which grew out of a Pol- ish resolution submitted h-iday.

The resolution was aimed at. the United States. France, Belgium and unnamed South American countries for alleged mistreatment of im- migrant workers.

Alexander Panyushkin, Russia's Ambassador to Britain. told the committee Britain is "forcefully irccrulting" displaced persons in Germany. "forwarding them to England" and keeping thorn in "continuation of the slavery begun under Hitler."

Replying for Britain. Mrs. Castle accused Russia of genocide, forced migration gndthe use of slave labor. Genocide is defined as mass destruction of a race or people.

Senator Wilson answered the ac- cusations of Ivan P. Dcmtcheriko of the Soviet Ukraine who said refugee labor in the Dominion is subject to discrimination.

The working conditions of dis- placed persons ln Canada are cem- parable to those enjoyed by Canad- ian citizens. Senator Wilson said.

In his hour-long address Demi- ohenko touched only briefly on con- ditions of refugee labor in Canada Ha cited stories from Canadian newspapers to back up claims that Ukrainian refugees in Canada were despondent over their working con- ditions and-pay.

Elsewhere in tho-UN. Brig-Gen. Carlos P. RCvTtllllO. Assembly presi- dent, indicated some progress has been made towards solving the Greek-Balkan question.

Romulo said tentative suggestions for draft agreements between Greece and her north neighbors- Albania. Bulgaria and Yugoslavia -have been made. Replies frcm all parties concerned are expected to be submitted Monday.

Good Potato Crop In N. B.

FREDERICTON, Oct. 16—,(CP) —With harvesting nearly threa- quarters completed, New Bruns- wick potato farmers are digging a crop reported as excellent. It is unknown as yet if the final yield will exceed last year's 17,315,000 bushels.

About 75 per cent of the crop has been gathered in the com- mercial growing areas of York and Carleton Codutles and about 60 pet- cent in Victoria County.

G. R. Cunningham. provincial director of potato production and marketing, reported some growers getting high yields of 200 barrels. or 550 bushels, to the acre. A larger number than usual have yields o! 175 to 200 barrels per acre. The average is expected to he nearly 150, with the quality "exceptionally 800d." l

Prices are lower than those of some previous ycnrp and United States demand for New Brunswick

Campaign To Wipe‘

Classes

By Nate Polowefzky PRAGUE, Oct. l6 — (AP) —The

Communist-led Government of Czechoslovakia cracked d o w n again Saturday in its apparent

campaign to wipe out tho rennin- ing middle class.

Marked for confiscation and na- tionalization of properties were:

1. Hundreds of resorts and min- eral springs dotting the country.

2. Nine more export and im- port firms and 22 wholesale en- terprises.

Such world-famous health re- sorts as Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) and Marianske Lazne (Marienbad) were taken over by the Govern- ment some time ago. The largest import and export houses and wholesale and distribution firms were incorporated into government combines shortly after the Com- munists came to power last year.

The new steps, announced in the official Gazette. are in keeping with the reported intention of the Governmept to liquidate the mid- dle class by the end of the year.
