Global Spot Survey

Strongest in Europe and Russia

By HARRISON SALISBURY \ aps sight 1947, by United P There are slightly more than 20 million active members

of the Communist party in the 46 principal countries of the world, a survey revealed today. ’ Eighty-five per cent of the Communist party membership is concentrated in Europe and Russia. There is almost

twice as large a membership as in the Soviet Union itself, On a membership basis, the overwhelming percentage of Communist strength is concentrated in Europe. ‘In no other geograpfecal area with the exception of China do the statistics disclose large Communist party membership. On-Spot Checks Made The statistics on Communist party membership were obtained in all but a few instances by on-the-

.. spot checks by United Press corre-

spondents. They were obtained from Communist party estimates and official reports. In cases where there was reason to doubt these estimates the correspondents made independent checks to determine the approximate membership. The survey shows the following geographical distribtution:

Russia: .......... eessasss. 6,000,000 Rest of Europe ..... esos. 11,304,525 Ching ....icc..00n.vui0n. 2,000,000 Asia (exclusive of China, Russia and Asia Minor). 301,000 ear Bask ....oucvuensesne 13,700 | North America ........... 141,000 South America ........... 340,000 Total eee esse Maar tee ys 20,100,225

The survey covered 21 countries of Europe, nine in Asia, six in the Near East, four in North America and six in South America. The survey placed Communist party membership about 1,500,000 higher than the 18,592,300 reported at an official Communist party conclave in London last March. The party's own membership survey covered 66 countries compared with the 46 in the United Press survey. The 20 additional~countries ineluded in the Co unists’ own survey all were small and accounted for only a few thousand members. The figures were believed to be accurate in all cases except for China. The 2,000,000 Chinese Communist party membership is that elaimed by the leadership of the Chinese Communist party. China Figure High However, Walter Rundle, correspondent at Shanghai, commented: “Neutral observers place the actual figure nearer 200,000.” On either basis—200,000 or 2,000,000—the Chinese Communist party is still the largest outside of Russia and Europe. It's only rival for size is the now suppressed Communist party of Brazil which] claimed a membership of about 200,000. Outside Russia the largest Communist party membership is con-| eentrated in Germany where it is estimated fo total 2,221,125 mem-

14 County Units Seek Added Funds

Higher Prices, New | Laws Alter Estimates)

islature, coupled with rising prices | of supplies, today resulted in a deluge of requests for emergency appropriations for Marion county departments. Fourteen county government units sent in requests for appropria- | tions totaling "$103,000 in addition to regular budgets approved for this year. The largest single request was $35,150 asked by Julietta infirmary, citing the rising costs in supplies and an increase in the number of | inmates. Population Doubles

The population of Julietta since Jan. 1 increased from an average of 250 to 500 as a result of a law passed by the legislature, authorizing county infirmaries to care for aged persons who are receiving social security pensions. Under the law the old age assistance benefit checks will continue to be issued by the welfare depart-

ment for these recipients even though they live in the county infirmary.

The county will be reimbursed | with these pension benefit checks! on the basis of about $7 a week. This arrangement resulted from alleged unsatisfactory conditions in private nursing homes where oldage assistance recipients had been | quartered. | ~ Julietta officials asked oF 2000] |additional funds for .food alone.
