TENSIONS WITHIN THE SOVIET CAPTIVE COUNTRIES HUNGARY Prepared at the Request of the Committee on Foreign Relations By the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress Presented by ALEXANDER WILEY Wisconsin, Chairman, Committee of Foreign Relations (In Serial Form Here) (Continuation) MANIPULATION OF WAGES AND NORMS' Branch 11 Meeting The hall was cold by accident, or design. Anyway, it was cold. Vice President Daniel Kali presided. The bone of contention at this meeting was ihat the Home Office had discharged the assistant organizer, yet without a replacement. The meeting felt that there should be an assistant to keep the office open. A. protest wili be sent to Pittsburgh. We heard that Tony and Ann Pinter had .transferred to Branch 11, also John Beres We saw Air. Peter Demchak at the meeting. He said his son' is now traveling- over all the world. 'Coloman Bertalan, cobbler extraordinary, will make his yearly trek to Hot Springs, Arkansas, about the first of April. We saw Mrs. Mary Matusz at the meeting, Mrs. Kadar, Mrs. Szalay, Mrs Isak, John Bosway, Helen Oravis, Mr. Kleri, Mr. Boda, Joseph Hegedűs, Joseph Szalay, Coloman Kolozsvary, Joseph Kovach, recording secretary, Steve and Joe Barry, Julius Cincar, Joseph M. Toth, Frank Szabó, James Szabó, and mar.y others .After the meeting, we met Dr. Andrew Kovach, Vice President, in the hall way, He looks the picture of healtn. We were glad to see him. We received a letter from National Secretary Coloman Revesz, stating that he was in Cleveland February 12 on official business, but because of pressing duties did nat have ,tin;e to visit the Verhovay home. You are always welcome to Cleveland, my dear National Secretary, and thanks for your letter and kind thoughts. I am glad to read, that the National Secretary feels' the same as I do about unreliable health and accident insurance companies. Whatever I can do to help right this sorry situation I am determined to do. . • ' The sign on the Verhovay building has been repainted, but with what kind of material ? ? The fifteen or sixteen people, making up the three teams going to the tournament, will need plenty of greenbacks to get by. For instance, the entry fee is about $10.0i) per team for all events, not including your banquet ticket which is extra; transportation, bus or train, $11.50; hotel, $7.00 a night; bowlers must eat about 8 meals, average $1.00 a meal; knickknacks, about $10.00; refreshments, according to your means; and so forth. If you take $75.00 with you, there is a possibility (a remote one) of having some change left when all the bills are paid. Do not forget that you mast be a certificate holder in order to participate in the tourney. We attended*a delightful dinner at St. John’s^ hall Sunday, February 13th, honoring the Rev. Doctor Nicholas Horvath, Associate Professor of Philosophy at John Carroll University. Proceeds after expenses are paid will go to the university’s building fund. Rev. Wefie, President of John Carroll, was very happy that help of this nature was coming from unexpected sources. He said that this was a healthy sign for the university’s expansion to twice its present size by 1965. Representatives of the three great faiths were present: Catholics, Jews and Protestants. All paid tri bute to Dr. Horvath and John Carroll The musical numbers by Steven Mozsi and thé songs by Judy Molnár were well received We saw Emery Keszi, president of Branch 45, West Side, and Coloman Bertalan, traveling district manager. We have met Mr. Bertalan at several civic affairs. We wish to compliment him for his agressiveness. He is a scholarly gentleman. AVe met also Ernie Hudak, radio announcer, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ko- I vacs, Judge Julius Kovachy, Judge Louis Petrash, CQngressman Charles Vanik, Frank Szabó, Mr, and Mrs. Gabriel Molnár, and Cleveland’s Law- Director, Ralph Locker, who spoke on behalf of the mayor. Congratulations to Louis Vassy on his elevation to the Board of Directors. We have known Air. Vassy for a number of years and, in our mind, feel that he will be a good director. . i We regret to hear of the death of Director Joseph Turner. He was a fine friend, a hard and diligent worker for Verhovay. Our condolences to his family. Cheer up, -my beloved contemporaries, spring: is nearing. AVe sponsored and co-sponsored about eleven bills in the House of Representatives, also several resolutions. Among these bills was one that would eliminate . the sales tax on soaps, soap powders, detergents, etc. Our women in Cuyahoga County, Ohio feel that a fami’y should not be taxed to be clean. I agree with them. AVe are making hosts of friends. The law makers, as a whole, are human beings, who get sick, eat and sleep, just as anyone else does. I personally like each and -every one of them. We think the 101st Assembly of Ohio will make a great record, and for that matter it already has broken one record — more bills introduced than ever before — 1339 all total. Joseph Rippner, tax expert, will be in the office of Frank J. Pokorny, Sr.; 11912 Buckeye Road, every day till the income tax deadline April 15th. He gives excellent service. Our distinguished member of Branch 14, Frank J. Lausche, Governor of Ohio, is being mentioned for the Presidency of The United States of America. This has our wholehearted support. He would be a good President. The people of Ohio have elected him five times as their Governor, and I think that if the Ohioans saw fit to elect Frank J. Lausche so many times, then he must he giving good government, and we are willing to share him with the rest of the country. Ex Animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c.o. Verhovay Home. 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio Activities and policies of the regime contrary to the real interests of the worker have taken a variety of forms. At first, labor norms were arbitrarily fixed and thereafter increased several times. Piecework has also become more exacting. At the present time the basic wage rates, even in industry, are so low that in ordpr to offset his expenditures, the Hungarian laborer must work to a point of virtual physical exhaustion. More than just engaging in a system of labor competition the worker is expected to make even greater exertions on special occasibn such as Stalin’s birthday, liberation day, and in the days and weeks preceding election day. Moreover, further demands are made upon the worker in instances where the factory requires cleaning or where a special inventory is to be made. In the event these tasks cannot be carried out during regular working hours, the worker is called upon to offer social work, that is to say, work without pay during free time, such as Sunday, for that special purpose. Moreover, the worker is expected to make such personal sacrifices voluntarily and enthusiastically in the name of communism. Trade-union leaders, however, admit that all such offerings, are really imposed from above in a most dictatorial manner. According to István Kristóf, president of the Trade Union Council: Trade-union and factory directors “settled with rare agreement” the offering of extra work at their office desks without consulting the laborers.
