East European satellite economies struggle under Moscow rule
William L. Ryan reports from Rome on March 1 that Eastern Europe’s captive nations face worsening economic turmoil with little chance of loosening Moscow’s grip. Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Albania show shrinking consumer goods, forced Sovietization, and harsh controls, while hope remains only in distant Western strength or a Kremlin palace revolt. An Israeli double murder near Jerusalem is noted as a separate item.
