In the Urals and other important lumbering areas, all arduous

Power is furnished from mobile Stations mounted on special Tucks, in cars. of narrow-guage "ailways, or on tractors.

A new Soviet skidding tractor has all devices required for mechan- ized loading and unloading of lumber ‘relieving. the workers of arduous manual labor. This trac- tor can traverse terrain where roads are lacking, It uses wood chucks for fuel.

Mechanization of felling, skid- ding, loading and transporting of timber in the USSR has paved qhe way = for production-line methods of work. Seasonal oper- ations is being eliminated and year-round production is. being introduced.

Mechanization has led to a sub- stantial increase jin earnings of

ltaly must hold new elections says Togliatti

; ROME The general - secretary. of the Italian Communist party, Palmiro Togliatti declared that the _Com- munist Party will advance a de- mand that new political elections be held in Italy. The Communist leader made this statement to newspapermen in the parliament building shertly after De Gasperi presented the resignation of his sovernment to the House of Depu- ties. : Togliatti affirmed that the Ital- ian people, through new political elections, must be called upon “to express its judgment on the gov- ernment and on the policy it has so far conducted.”

\“According to ts,” Togliatti de- clared, “the new Government must be entrusted to a man above party interests.. THe grave crisis which has opened in the ranks of the party which has the majority in Parliament is the consequence of a policy full of errors. De Gasperi’s own party has realized that the country is tired of a policy based exclusively on the Atlantic Pact, | rearmament and antit-Communism.”

An official Communist party statement demanding new elections is expected to be issued. The man- date of the present Parliament does not expire until the spring of 1953. : ?

Nazis stooges now want uniforms in Ike's army

The proposal was made in an in- terview given to the West German press. The spokesman pointed out that these prisoners have been con- demned for “the same thing, which the Americans are now demanding ‘of West Europeans:. fer fighting

on the side of the Germans against Soviet Russia.”
