Government Decides

Who Shall Drink

Apia, Samoa, Apr. 12.

Even those Europeans who live in countries where drinking hours are restricted are better off than Samoans under their country's liquor laws, administered by New Zealand.

To get a drink here, the would-be drinker must become customers of the Government and buy his liquor through the Samoan Liquor Board. This Board decides who may drink, how much he may have and who is to have whiskey or beer-- or both.

First, an application to the Board for a monthly permit to buy liquor, for the Government has a mimopoly of bath import- ing and retailing it

GERMAN DEPUTIES WALK OUT

East German Firms Use Forced Prison Labour

Berlin, Apr. 12,

State-owned enterprises in East Germany are using forced prison labour in an attempt to overcome the worsening shortage of manpower, according to a survey made by the West Berlin anti-Communist Fighting Group against Inhumanity..

The survey was compiled after extensive questioning of released prisoners from all 39 major prisons and forced labour camps known to. exist in East Germany. These have á capacity of 31,000 men and 4,000.women.

Additional details were given social insurance fees by East German Justice officials who have fled to. West Berlin.

Prisoners are forced to work by various means, but aspecial- ly by the need to earn money to buy additional food. They also hope to obtain a reduction of sentence by doing extra work.

If a prisoner fulfils regularly a certain quota of work, he can get two months of imprisonment Enken off his sentence for every month of work.

for him.

This means free treatment ini hospital after his release, whien most prisoners need it,

Families of imprisoned men are not supported by the East German state. So the prisoner again sees his only chance of helping his family in work under the conditions laid down.

The state-owned enterprises pay the full statutory wage, to the prison administration but still make a good bargain.
