A Russian who became friendly with some members of Benny Goodman's touring jazz, or chestra was arrested Wednes day night by Soviet police in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Reports reaching here said the incident took place in front of the Primorskaya Ho tel while the man was talking to some of the musicians. ' The man who was arrested was identified only as an em ployee of a local television station. Police officers con fiscated a book from the man and took some pictures from his companion. 'It shows weakness on their part," Goodman said when informed of the incident. First Attempt It was the first reported at tempt by Soviet police to pre vent Russian citizens from as sociating with members of Goodman's orchestra, which is on a six-week tour of the Soviet Union under the cul tural exchange program. Another minor Incident oc curred when Goodman's or chestra finished playing Wednesday night at an open air theater. A guard prevented his daughter. Rachel, from going backstage following the performance. Just two days ago, Good man said he had run into some minor restrictions but that they had "all cleared up." Goodman said at the time that he "was rather miffed for awhile, but by and large the Russians have been very cooperative." Matter of Fact By Joseph Aliop (e New Ynrh Hrralri Trthtino Svnriimta K3 Almp MEAT AND MILITARY INVESTMENT Washington It is becom ing clearer and clearer that the West ought to take anoth er hard, new look at the strengths and weakness es of the So viet economy. For a very long time until the first Sputnik, in fact, the pro ductivity and technical proficiency of the Soviet system were grossly underestimated by most peo ple in the West. But we have now been told, by Nikila S. Khrushchev in person, that we replaced this gross under estimate by a considerable overestimate. This Western overestimate of Soviet capabilities is easy enough to explain. On the one hand, the Sputnik proved that Soviet technology was every bit as advanced as American technology, at least in cer tain fields. It thereby made nonsense of what may be call ed the clumsy moujik theory of the Soviet economy, which was even preached, pre-Snut-nik, by a few of the leading Western experts on the Soviet Union. ON THE other hand, and even more important, the rude awakening of the Sput nik called Western attention to the very high Soviet rale of economic growth. Because of this rate of growth, the Soviet leaders appear to be able to offer the Russian peo ple a modest but continuous (and therefore satisfying) im provement in their level of life, while simultaneously ft nancing the most massive mil- itary and basic industrial in vestment. The high rate of basic investment in turn seem ed to assure the continued rapid economic growth. Khrushchev himself rather clearly believed, at one time, in this theory of the limitless upward spiral. But he knows better now. The proof is his guns-before-butter speech on Saturday, asking the Soviet workers to accept the steep increase in the prices of meat and dairy products. In this speech, Khrushchev said In effect that the farmers had to be paid more, in order to induce them to produce more meat. But the farmers could not be paid more, by reducing basic industrial in vestment or cutting defense spending, which has In fact been heavily increased. There fore, the Soviet masses would have to foot the bill, even if this meant a quite meaning ful drop in their level of life. WHAT Is implied In this, Khrushchev argument is ! a fairly violent renewal of the classic Soviet conflict be tween types of investment. Despite its high growth rate, the Soviet economy is once again unable to meet the in vestment need of both the military - heavy - Industrial sector and the 'agricultural-and-consumer sector of the economy. Although the theory of the ! Soviets' limitless upward spi ral promised that there would always be enough to go around, Khrushchev has now told us that there is nothing like enough. He has also told us that the Soviet leadership, as always in the past, has once again given priority to the military - heavy - industrial sector. Here, investments are not being skimped. But this calls into question another recently fashionable Western theory about the So viet Union that the closed Soviet society is bound to be come more and more open, free, and even bourgeois, as the rising Soviet living stand-1 ard comes closer and closer to the American or Western living standard. Adlal E. Ste- j venson plotted out a version j of this theory in a speech made only a day or so after Khrushchev spoke. , 1M1F, price rises in meat and dairy products, and lh in creasingly uncomfortable So viet shortages of all other foodstuffs except bread Itself, mean that the Soviet living ftandard Is not rising. For the Russian laboring masses, food still mean murh more than I such costly consumer goodi as television sets. The year when the Soviet masses had eaten best was 1059. Since then the standard has declin ed rather sharply. This decline has occurred, moreover, against a back ground of repeated promises by Khrushchev and his col leagues that everything was going to get better and better, that the U. S. would soon be "overtaken" and so on and on. In the Khrushchev era, the Soviet Union has become what is now called "a society of rising expectations." But will this "society of rising expectations" cheerfully tol erate the disappointment of its expectations? The answer ' Is. of course. that the disapnointmenl will be tolerated, but not cheer fully tolerated. In his snecch on the food price rises, Khru shchev remarked g r 1 m 1 v: "Those who do not wish to understand should be called to order." WO STUDENT of the Soviet I' agricultural problems be lieves that the problem is go ing to be solved by the jerry built expedients now being attempted, which largely de pend on the use of bureau crats as a substitute for fer tilizer. If many persons "do not wish to understand," the "calling to order", will have to begin. Stalin's (error can hardly be revived after Stalin's re burial. But It is not impossible that the Russian people will again experience one of those abrupt increases of police con trol and shrinkages of free dom which have occurred so often In the melancholy Rus sian past.
