(ID o o o G O I G o Girls Go on Love Strike Boy Friends Away From Berlin fUPI) East Ger man girls have gone on a "love strike" to keep their boy friends from drinking. Hans has been given the choice of Gretel or the bottle. Femaie members of the Sov iet zone Communist Vnnth Organization have vowed to become German-style Carrie Nations to help the Kremlin's anti-alcohol campaign. But , -while America's Carrie Na tion only broke up saloons in her temperance drive, the East German girls threaten to break up romances. The girls went into action because few East Europeans heeded Communist orders to sober up. East Europeans are trying to drown their discon tent in large amounts of vod ka, schnapps and beer, appar ently because Communism is driving them to drink. Major Problem As a result, drunkenness has become a major problem in East Germany, the Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary and other Soviet bloc nations. Now the Reds are using sex as a weapon to keep men on the wagon. The love strike was started by Gisela Huth of Schwerin, who complained that her boy friend "once or twice a week consumed alcohol into the early hours." She told the Communist Youth newspaper "Y o u n g World" that all her powers of persuasion failed to keep her boy friend out of bars. Finally, she told him, "If you do not stop drinking, I will leave you." Decision Hailed Her decision vas hailed by To Keep Intoxicants other girls who adopted the same course, A girl at Wolmirsleben said her boy friend too often cele brated other people's birth days by drinking "I gave him the ultimatum me or alco hol," she said in a letter to Young World. Among the letters was one from Ingrid Pausewang of Chemnitz, who reported that her boy friend is now a tee totaler who finds drinking a waste of money. "It merely was necessary to convince him that there are more interesting things in life than drinking," she wrote. rr j, t ' - j o if' ''Ji ' - ' 5 1 ' ti' T-'Jd fT fKi WIMD ILOWI Former Open champ Ed Fur aol throws handful of grass in the air .to check , wind Sirectioa before starting a practice round at Southern Hills Country Club, Tulsa, Okla.

Economy, Culture Development Aim Of Outer Mongolia (Editor's note; The litUe-known Communist state of the People's Republic of (Outer) Mongolia has gone through considerable changes over the past five years, but little information about these has reach ed non-Communist nations. Follow ing is the first of three dispatches on Outer Mongolia's domestic de velopments based on material from Chinese Communist sources). By PETER SUM United Press International Hong Kong (UPI) The People's -Republic of (Outer) Mongolia began last Jan. l a three-year plan to develop that Communist country's economy and culture. Mongolians have indicated that the success of their three year economic plan depends chiefly on "assistance of the Soviet Union, (Communist) China and other fraternal so cialist (eastern European) countries." The People's Republic of Mongolia is slightly more than 580,000 square miles in size, mostly desert and grasslands, sandwiched between the Sov iet Union and Communist China. It is primarily a livestock-raising country. But in the words of Dordja Damba, first secretary of the Mongolian People's Revolu tionary (Communist) Party, the republic in the course of its last five-year plan, which ended Dec. 31, 1957, changed from "a purely livestock-raising into an agro-industrial, livestock-raising country." ' The five-year plan was Mongolia's second since 1948, the year the People's Revolu tionary Party considered to be "the advent of the socialist construction stage." Cooperation Urged The republic, with its half million population mostly nomads has , never experi enced "the development stage of capitalism," according to a Communist Chinese commen tary on the Communist state. The commentary . claimed "that, iri accordance with Len in's; famous directives," the Mongolian People's Revolu tionary Party was able to di rect the country into social ism in conformity with resolu tions set down by the party's third congress held at Ulan Bator in August, 1924. At the same meeting ' the Communist .Mongolians also proclaimed the People's Re public of Mongolia and the promulgation of the people's constitution, which called for the first people's "hural" people's congress. After the two five-year plans, the Mongolian People's Revolution Party pointed out that the country must in crease "the number of live stock and enable the majority of nomads working on their own to achieve cooperation within three years. Mongolian Communists stressed this in a resolution adopted at the closing session of the 13 th party congress held in Ulan Bator last March 22. The meeting outlined nieas ures to be taken during the three-year economic plan to "develop and consolidate the socialist sector of agriculture and livestock-raising, to en sure the growth of all branch es of economy and to raise the people's living standards." Goals Disclosed Before the three-year plan was put into effect, more than 200,000 (almost half of Mon golia's total population) per sons had discussed the draft. According to U. Tsedenbal, chairman of the municipal council of ministers, the plan aims at bringing the number of livestock in the country to 25 million by the end of 1960 and raising- grain Output 2.7 times from 1958 to 1960. Tsedenbal disclosed that two million ; tons of fodder also would be grown annually during the three-year period. Tsedenbal, who is also a member of the political bu reau of the central committee of the party, also stated that Soviet Russia, Communist China and a number of east ern European countries would help Mongolia erect "a num ber" of new factories which would go into production within the period of the cur rent economic plan. He predicted that by the end of the three years, his country's industrial output would increase 52 per cent. Like the Communist Chi nese south of the Sino-Mongo-lian border, Mongolian Reds have called upon the country's youths to assist the party in successfully carrying out the economic plan. Ulan Bator has sent thou sands of young intellectuals to work in the country to "strug gle against backward thought" believed to be the chief ob stacle in the1 way of a smooth execution of the economic plan.
