Russia Hikes Food Prices; Says Move Caused by U.S. Moscow (UPD The Soviet government raised the prices of meat, butter and milk in Russia today because of short ages. It blamed the United States for the move. An announcement from the Communist party, which can trols the government, set the increase on meal at an aver age 30 per cent, and 25 per cent on butter. The increase in milk prices was not speci fied. The notice was published in this morning's nwspapers and broadcast over Moscow Radio. It sent housewives scurrying to stores to stock up on the scarce items. The price boosts are aimed at stimulating the lagging pro duction on collective and state farms, the announcement said. Premier Nikita S. Khru shchev admitted at a party I central committee meeting in March that farm output goals for 1961 were far from ful filled. He cited widespread de ficiencies in grain, meat and dairy products, and warned that the farm failures were endangering the seven-year development plan. Moscow Radio said this morning that more money is needed to stimulate farm pro duction, and that state funds cannot be diverted from heavy industry and defense expendi tures. It blamed American-led "international reaction" for the need to maintain defense development. "The government considers it necessary to talk frankly about the difficulties which arise in supplying the cities with meat, the party an nouncement said. "It is easy to see that the difficulties in fr "mIramar melmac I DINNERWARE H : . a cup, grV TT 1 ft Im 8 Saucers 8 Desserts 8 Bread and Butters 8 Dinner Plates 1 Vegetable Bowl 1 Platter 1 Creamer 1 Sugar e 1 Cover 45 PCE. sn 88 13 MRVrCE FOR EIGHT ' Colon: White, ton, rursmolse, ! "' question were created by our fast economic growth." Incurs Losses The party said that in or der to cut down the losses In curred by the state "while selling meat, meat products and butter to the population.' retail prices have been in creased 31 per cent on beef, 34 per cent on mutton, 19 per cent on pork, 31 per cent on sausage products, and 25 per cent on butter. In explaining the action, Moscow Radio said "the So viet people eat and dress bet ter every year. Nevertheless, the level of production of live stock is still insufficient." The broadcast said the So viet government had spent many millions of rubles to im prove agriculture, but added that "in order to interest the collective farms materially in increasing livestock produce, there must be an increase in government purchasing prices lor meat and butter. Requires Funds "B u t this requires enor mous funds," it said. 'These funds cannot be sought at the expense of defense potentials or industry. "International reaction, with the U.S.A. in the lead, is now conducting a frenzied drive for armaments and is hatching plans for surprise nu clear and missile attacks on the U.S.S.R. and other social ist countries." Man Fired Over Esfes Case Appeals Washington-IUPU-William E. Morris, fired last month from the Agriculture Department job in connection with the Bil lie Sol Estcs case, has appeal ed his dismissal to the Civil Service Commission. Morris was one of several Agriculture Department em ployees figuring in charges that Estcs gave gifts to federal officials. Morris has served as assistant to former Assistant Secretary James T. Ralph, who was demoted from that post last February after policy disputes not connected with the Estes case. Ralph was later fired when It was learn ed he had charged telephone calls to Estcs' credit card. A Civil Service Commission spokesman said Morris' ap peal was received Tuesday. The spokesman said Morris next will be given an oppor tunity to review his file and to decide whether he wants a formal hearing in connection with the appeal. Reaction Hints Adolf Eichmann Deserved Fate By United Press International Early reaction to the ex ecution of Adolf Eichmann in dicated general belief today that the former SS officer who played a leading role in the Nazi extermination of Jews deserved his fate. Authorities in Argentina, the country from which Eich man was kidnaped by Jewish agents in 1960, anticipated a hostile reaction, but there were no immediate reports of trouble. Anti - Semitic attacks on synagogues and other Jewish institutions had been reported in half a dozen Argentine cities in the past week, and police posted special guards at the Israeli Embassy and other Jewish centers today. Fair and Just West Germany received the news of the execution calmly. Government sources in Bonn said they were satisfied that Eichmann had had a fair trial and that his sentence was "just." Individual Germans said "Good riddance!!" or "He had it coming." Eichmann's widow, who is in West Germany, could not be reached for comment. A government spokesman said, however, that she had not asked President Heinrich Luebke to intervene in her husband's behalf. The hanged man's three sons, who live in Argentina, maintained to the end that their father was merely a cog in the Nazi machine whose only offense was obedience to orders. Believe in Guili Recent polls in West Ger many indicated that nearly two-thirds of its people be lieve Eichmann should be punished for his offenses - 34 per cent that he should be hanged and 29 per cent that he should be imprisoned for life. Newspapers in Japan front paged the news of Eichmann's execution but did not com ment editorially.
