Russian Arrested For Talking With Goodman Players
Moscow -(UPri. 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.
