The racket In Ha simplest form was baited on the sal of clgarets, army food and candy to hungry Germans for exorbitant auma In Allied currency marks, most ot which were printed by the Rue-sians. irst Troop ta Berlla Started It It began with the first American troops to enter Berlin. Soldiers found that they could get $100 to $200 for a carton of clgarets, $5 110 for a bar of chocolate. They could then take the mark to the nearest army postofflce, convert them Into money order and mall them to relatives or banks In the United States against a post-war rsiny day. The racket spread like prairie fire throughout the army of occupation.
It knew no rank. Colonel and corporals played the game together, sometimes etanding for lours at the postofflce wtndows. new group of big-time operators arose known aa "the Berlin Millionaires." Insteadsof relying on the peddling of extra army cigarette rations, they Imported their own csrtons from the states by the hundreds. There were too many In the racket for It to nave any social stigma. Some were reported to nave made aa much as fifty a hundred thousand dollar In few months.
Authorities Attempt Centre! Embarrassed by the discovery that the army was aendlng borne Ihree tlmea the amount It was being paid, authorities last fall made their first attempt to control the racket. They distributed currency exchanRe control books which listed each soldiers psy. Money transfer to America and sums spent in Germany In excess of ten dollars were deducted, uniortun- however, no central record of the books were kept. Enterprising warriors and civilians attached to the army found little difficulty in obtaining several extra books. By astute private bookkeplng they could make their own entries and parley their earnings several times.

Ne Extra Books Feasible The new books will be serially numbered and a central check made so that no soldier can manipulate with extra books. Already the steady operators are looking for loopholes.

Plan Brings An Expected Reaction By J. M. ROBEITS, Jr. If rerelga Affair Analyst Pravda outburst against the American atomic control plan ha brought the to-be-expected reaction a restatement of our determination to kee psucta secrets as we can until unbreachable safeguard have been set up against boomer angs, and an expression of belief that the Russian are judging other people by themselves. There is resentment that Ameri ca goodwill is not accepted at face value: that we are accused of desiring world domination in the face of our altruistic record.
Although admittedly working Uxqut own Interest In attempting to set up control before every nation, large or small, becomes a potential threat to peace, there Is bit terness that we should be expected just to give up, without quid pro quo, the fruit of the expenditure of billion of dollar and the greatest concentration of channeled genius In history. Even the British and Canadian, who contributed In every wy they cdutd, have not expected the United States to yield Information which la peculiarly hers. But of course the British and Canadian do not foresee a time when they might be seeking to expand militant Ideology at the danger of a clash with the capitalistic world. However, the point la that the dule of service. Wendell Harding, preaident of Lincoln Aviation, and James Ramsey, manager of United Air Service, intervened on the strength of their plan to file an application to provide service on virtually the same route a listed by Prairie Airways.

Prairie Airways was granted ten dsys In which to answer and United five days after that for its reply. Chris Abbott of Hyannis, presl dent of Prairie Airways, stated tliat the concern, after the first 180 days of operation, could rea sonably be expected to be handl ing 80 per cent of capacity business on six planes. Mall Contract Anticipated He said he anticipated a good express business, adding that the company was hopeful of getting a mall contract. Declaring the company had $250 000 paid up capital and Is virtually ready to start service, Abbott add ed "we do not Intend to try to tske business from United Air Lines or other companies but are seeking only to take care of Neb raska business." Abbott further stated that surveys had led the company to believe that three-quarters of the air business In Nebraska is purely Nebraska traffic, and lhat, two-thirds of the business transacted by western Nebraska Is with the eastern section of the state, pointing up the need for fast air service.

Abbott said he felfi lnin Air Lines, pointing out that com- UBU'1 n- line. Abbott said the concern planned two dally flights on the south route and one daily on the north as a stsrter. United Air Lines started the hearing by asking dismissal of the Prairie application, or as an alternative that the commission first decide whether certificates of con- ivenience and necessity for new air lines In the state are necessary, and, If so, that the commission compile rules and regulations be- fore any hearing be held. The motion was held in abeyance by Chairman Richard Larson and the hearing proceeded. Val Doubta PA Survival United Air Lines, in Its testimony following Abbott's appearance, presented Andrew Devours-ney, route research manager, who expressed doubt as to the ability of the proposed prairies airways line to survive in the face of expanded rail and truck service.

The take-home pay of America's most Important government offic ial Is not what It used to be. True, a job which paid 115.000 a year ten year ago still nays 15,000.. But, because of higher tsxes.

And when the official gels his tske-bome psy home, he csn do less with It than the official of The reason: higher living costs. Living costs have risen at least per cent since according to government figures. But at this time when living costs and taxes are up and sal aries generally have risen top go vernment officials' sslsrle have remained the eame. (The aalaries of government wor kers msklng under $10,000 will be rslsed 14 per cent, starting July 1.) ma siory win snow, oy com parison, what has happened to top government pay.
In the examples riven. It was auumed, for lux figuring purposes, that each official was married and had no dependents Take the president first: That lob paid $75,000 In It psvs $75,000 now. Assume that In and In 1046 the president, before figuring his Income tax. knocked $5,000 of his Income for deductible expenses. mat leaves $70,000 upon wnicn In the tax on $70,000 was $16,449, leaving the president a net Income of $53,551, But In 1946 the tax on $70,000 was $39,273, leaving the president a net income of $30,727.
So, by these calculations. President Roosevelt's net Income or take-home pay waa $53,551. In 1936. President Truman's in 1946 la $30,727. Now take the office of chief Jus- lire of the supreme court.
Hi ssl-rv Is $20,500, the highest government pay, next to the president's. Charles Evan Hughes was chief Justice In 1936. Say he deducted $500 for allowable expenses. That left $30,000 to be taxed.
