Russians Claim
Fulfillment Of
Production Coal
MOSCOW W Pravda announced
that the Soviet Union fulfilled
its 1954 industrial production plan

sections of the Soviet economy
failed to meet their quotas.
The Communist Party newspap
er, devoting much of its issue to a
statistical report of the nation's
progress last year, listed the three
delinquents as: forestry, 93 per
cent ot quota; iisneries wi per cent,
and meat and milk products, 97
per cent.
The paper added that a number
of individual factories, mines and
oil fields failed to meet their tar
gets because Ihey did not work
with the "necessary rhythm."
Pravda said these branches
"produced a major part of their
goods at the end of one month
and pcrmitled lowering production
beginning the next month."
"This led to enormous losses in
working time and equipment," the
paper reporled.
Those leading the 1954 list were:
Tractor and agricultural machin
ery 105 per cent, consumer goods
105, means of conrmunieation 105,
health 108. coal and fuel 106, indus
trial cooperatives 106.
Pravda said 47 million of Rus

jobs. This did not include those
employed on collective farms, esti

physicians have reported.
In some of the cases the hiccups
has lasted nine months and resist
ed all other known me'hods of
treatment. The phrenic nerve has
been crushed as a last-resort but
still futile measure in five of the
cases.
Drs. Charles E. Fricdgood and
Charles B. Ripslein said hiccuping
stopped in 46 of 50 patienrs treated
when they were given chlorproma
zine.
Chlorpromazine, a drug develop
ed in France, now is available in
the United States under the trade
name thorazine. The drug also has
been used to control severe nausea
and vomiting and for the relief of
pain and anxiety.
Writing in tne Journal ot the
American Medical Assn., the
Brooklyn doctors said all of the
50 patients they treated with the
drug were suffering from intract
able hiccups, symptoms had per
sisted from days to months. Heavy
doses of sedatives, carbon dioxide
inahlation and other medical and
surgical therapy had been tried
without success.
Forty-one of the pa'.ients ob
tained permanent relief from the
drug, five obtained temporary re
lief and four failed to benefit.
The doctors said the drug mav

the underlying cause is not cor

Four of their patients tailed to
show any response, they said, be

cups were not treated. These pa
tients suffered from such things
as an abscess near the phrenic
nerve, which controls action of the
diaphragm, or an improperly func
