the I'nited States economically. It

the Congress.
By HENRY SHAPIRO
. Moscow -UPB- The tumult
nd the shouting of the nine
day session of the 21st special
congress of the Soviet Com
munist Party are over, nd
the 1,200 delegates have
rushed back to the far-flung
areas of the Soviet sub-continent.
Once more in the realities
of daily life, they'll begin the
arduous task of implement
ing premier Nikita Khrush
chev's ambitious dream . to
outclass America's produc
tion and living standard.
The Soviet press . has al
ready reported that mass
meetings throughout the coun
try are pledging to fulfill the
seven -year plan ahead of
schedule and raise gross pro
duction 80 per cent compared
to 1957.
Ruts Claim Faster Growth .
The chances of reaching
the targets are good, accord
ing to Khrushchev, given the
annual rate of growth of
eight per cent compared to
America's two per cent.
Present Soviet industrial
production is about half that
of the United States, while
agricultural output is one-
quarter lower than America's.
However, Khrushchev's plan
envisages surpassing the
United States per capita pro
duction within 15 years to
achieve the world's highest
standard of living.
According to Khrushchev,
the present Soviet per capita
' production is less than one-
half America's, while U. S
agricultural production is 40
per cent higher.
But he was confident the
Russians could catch up and
outstrip the United States.
He said the present Soviet
yield of milk and butter al
ready exceeds America's, and
that Russia expects to equal
America meat' production in
the next few years.
Major annual industrial
production goals for 1965 in
millions of metric tons are:
Steel, 91; pig iron 70; iron
ore, 160; coal, 609; oil, 240;
Plus:
Electricity, 520 bililon kilo
watt hours; autos, trucks and
buses, 865,000 units; cotton
cloth, eight billion 'meters;
wool, cloth, 500 million me
ters; shoes, 515 million pair;
grain, 180 million tons, cot
ton, seven million tons; meat
and fats, 16 million tons.
The estimated population
In 1965 will be 225 millions.
' To the average Soviet citi
zen, Khrushchev promised a
60 per cent increase in real
wages, a 35-hour work week,
higher pensions, better social
and recreational services and
more adequate housing, cloth
ing, and food.
The housing program pro
vides for the construction of
15 -million apartments to
solve the Soviet Union's
worst single problem.
, It does not mean a "chick
en in every pot," or a "car
in every garage."
. Housing Plan
But tackling first problems
first, current legislation al
ready calls for reduced con
struction of theaters, club
houses, swimming pools and
monuments, with all em
phasis on housing.
Historic Site
Becomes A Park
Salem - (CPD - One of the
state's most historic sites be
came a public park Friday
when a 46-acre tract deeded

Power company was added to
the 16 acres already owned by
the state and formally estab

park.
State Park Superintendent
C. H. Armstrong said the park
will commemorate the Fare
well Bend of the Snake river
made famous by immigrants
who at that point saw the
river for the last time on their
trek to the Willamette valley.
Establishment of the new
park came as part of the bus

M. Tugman, Reedsport.
The committee plans to hold
a meeting this spring to hear

of cities, counties and the
state and the federal govern

public parks.

With all allowance for
probable statistical exaggera
tions, Western economists are
not inclined to doubt the So
viet Union's, higher rate of
growth compared to Ameri
ca's.
Stalin's first five year plan
launched in 1929 with the
slogan "catch up and surpass
the most advanced capitalist
countries" met universal de
rision and skepticism from
abroad.
At fantastic human material
costs unprecedented in a
capitalist economy and in
spite of wartime devastation.
the pre - revolutionary, back
ward agricultural country be
came tne worlds second in
dustrial power and is now
plausibly challenging Ameri
ca's position.
A relatively low labor pro
ductivity remains in the So
viet economy, but the rate is
slowly and steadily increas
ing.
Given a more rational or
ganization of industry of the
Khrushchev era, continued in
ternal relaxation, higher in
centives to industrial, agri
cultural and labor fields and
expanded mechanization and
automation, the economic
goals do not appear unrealis
tic.
The Soviet economy will be
increasingly coordinated with
that of other Communist coun
tries. If successful, according
to Khrushchev, within 15
years the Communists,- with
less than half the world's
population, will control more
than half the world's produc
tion.
It may be some time before
the Soviet people are as well
housed and clothed as the
Americans.
Heavy Industry Stressed
But there is no denying the
formidable power they will
represent.
The stress of current and fu
ture economic plans will re
main on heavy industry, the
'foundation of the founda
tions of Soviet economy," as
Soviet economists phrase it.
Soviet economic competi
tion, which KhrxiShchev offers
to replace for the armaments
race and armed conflict, will
be one of the cornerstones of
Soviet foreign policy in the
immediate future.
To consolidate the economic
power of the Communist bloc,
Khrushchev needs a long
period of peace and better re
lations with the capitalist
world.
To that end, he will seek
to vitiate the cold war and
stabilize the international sit
uation on the basis of the
status quo, and establish a
better way of living with
the U.S. and other Western
powers.
What concessions he is will
ing to make for those purposes
is another question.
The congress speeches and
the final resolution did not
indicate any basic change in
the Russian positions.
Let the West make the
necessary concessions, the
congress orators appeared to
Graham Launches

Their attitude appears to
stem from the confidence of
Soviet strength and a feeling
that Russian power is un

It is a feeling that if the
