Main, Sit Communist Boss Admits Czech' Strife VIENNA IB Czechoslovakia's Communist premier admitted Wed nesday mere are " discontent tna rebellion" in the nation, and in dicated the Red regime has not yet been able to bring popular de- liince under control. This startling admission was pub lished In Rude Pravo. official Czechoslovak Communist newspap er. Premier Antonln Zapotocky was quoted as blaming the rebellion on shortages ot lood and coal. The Communist president. Klem- em Gottwald, previously admitted mai tne production oi mux, eggs and farm goods in Czechoslovakia has fallen lower than it was in 1947. before the Communists seized power. WEIUHT The admissions lent weight to Western reports that the Soviet Union's Industrial demands on Czechoslovakia have been severely milking the nation and producing chaotic conditions. The production of heavy industry goods for Russia has cost the satellite country ter rifically, pushing down its former high standard of living. There have been reports of open "hunger dem onstrations" in defiance of Com. munist police. Zapotocky's admission came In an address to miners in Kladno. Ha said: "People complain among other things that they cannot buy coal tor the winter and that their food rations are insufficient. We cannot provide for the people with coal that Is required for our Industrial plan and the plants lack hundreds of thousands of tons of coal. u nr.Lr "Among the neoDle there in dis content and rebellion, but against mis reoeuon mere at no help. It can only be eliminated by fulfill ment of the plan t . . "PeODla sav that althouirh wa have done away with capitalist pro fit, we have replaced tt with profits for the state through the exploita tion of human labor and that there is no anterence." ' The . premier complained that Czechoslovaks "go to work, but they do not watt-, tnd they oppose- me new botoi worsuig metnodi." The Kladno mine, where he spoke, employed 1,282 workers in 1949 but only 1,152 today because of absenteeism and other causes, the premier said, adding that though production had risen 49 ner cent over 1949. wtges had to be raised 104 Per cent. "When our people run Into dif ficulties." he said, "they ask if we have not exaggerated our plans ana wneuier ine plans can be ful filled. They can be, if we apply our selves." The recent Dunte trial of Rudolf Slansky and other top Communists wno went to the gallows was a re flection of this economic difficulty for which the Gottwald government apparently had to find scapegoats.
