W RY AP Special Correspondent reports Red China concedes failure of its big leap forward program while showing defiance toward Khrushchev on how a Communist state should develop. The National People’s Congress session reveals a do it yourself plan amid economic troubles and a reaffirmed push to isolate U S imperialism.
The text outlines Beijing’s insistence on the three Red banners and a 10 point program. Moscow withholds broader aid as China shifts away from rapid heavy industry to revive farming, returning urban workers to agricultural toil and tempering its development drive.
The article discusses how the great leap forward will slow, not due to Khrushchev's ideological stance, and notes a strained view of Khrushchev by Mao. It portrays tensions in international affairs within the Communist bloc and reflects on leadership dynamics and policy pacing.
The council discusses handling fines and costs via police, with a dog catcher candidate avoiding that role. A tranquilizer gun would save about $150, and Mayor Zalmeck said Police Chief Drake will confer with Glenwood Park Zoo officials to choose pellets. The Erie zoo previously used such a gun.
