Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - January 26, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news fair vol. 92, no. 21mt. Pleasant Iowa monday evening january 26, 1970 Price to cent these Days by John Chamberlain Why the soviets Are wooing the West pravda in Moscow has finally gotten around to admitting current soviet Industrial laggard Ness which perhaps explains communist willingness to take Page it in the strategic arms limitation talks Salt Between the . And the . But the shaky condition of the soviet Domestic Economy has Long been apparent to the experts of radio Liberty and the Institute for the study of the us.s.r., so there will be absolutely no excuse if our own Salt delegation thinks it is leading from weakness and not from strength when it comes to meeting russian arms limitation demands. Too the soviet failure to turn communism into a rousing Success is highlighted by the comparison made by the Institute for the study of the .s.r. Of contemporary russian jiving standards with the promises held Forth by the then Premier Khrushchev Back in the Early Nineteen sixties. Painting a picture of future material abundance Khrushchev had predicted that soviet agriculture would a exceed the present level of per capita agricultural production in the u. S. A. By one and a half times before 1970 had arrived. Khrushchev a announced plan called for a threefold increase in meat production and for comparable increases in Grain milk butter and eggs. But eight years later when Leonid Brezhnev the co Boss of All Russia reviewed the a Gap Between the dream and the reality a he had to admit that agricultural production had risen by a Only a too today a kilogram of White bread to quote the Institute a costs the american worker thirteen minutes and his soviet counterpart Twenty seven minutes of work. A kilogram of pork is paid for by Twenty five minutes of work in the . And by 295 minutes in soviet Russia. Butter costs forty five labor minutes in America and 354 in egg differential is seventeen to 162 minutes. Even such a commonplace food As cabbage takes 148 minutes to earn in Russia As compared to eight minutes in the . Too the russians Are supposed to have a five Day working week but actually the number of annual working Days in the soviet Union is a no fewer than in the pre revolutionary period due to the Large number of religious festivals in the Church today the soviet worker earns More than his pre revolutionary Grandfather but by comparing prices for four Staple foodstuffs a bread sugar meat and butter a a we find that his real income in terms of actual wages leaving out of account the state welfare services is incidentally the soviets have had bad Luck in their sugar deals with Castro scuba. In 1968 Castro had promised five million tons of sugar in Exchange for russian Industrial goods. But Only 1.7 tons were actually delivered. It have been much better in 1969, for the total cuban sugar production that year did no to even reach five million tons too according to radio Liberty none of the Industrial plans for 1970 has been fulfilled. Steel production was supposed to hit close to 130 million tons by 1970 the a a revised figure for this coming year is put at 115 tons. Electric Power production for 1970 was projected at some 850 billion kilowatts Back in 1966. The a a revised plan Calls for 740 billion kilowatts. Petroleum Gas and Coal have not come up to expectations. Chemical fibres lag about a Hundred thousand tons behind the 1966 Promise of some 800 thousand tons. And passenger car production will probably be at a rate of half the eight Hundred thousand units originally scheduled. Faced with the need to do something for the soviet consumer the government is probably sincere in its Hopes to save something on military production if it can drive an acceptable bargain with the americans the .s.r.�?Ts foreign minister Andrei Gromyko spoke last summer of driving a a a Tunnel of reconciliation to the West. Too the radio Liberty experts warn us that Gromyko a gesture May be a merely a tactical move a not something that connotes a sincere desire to Call off the cold War in perpetuity. The reason for a a certain reorientation in soviet foreign policy is undoubtedly the possibility of an escalation of the sino soviet the soviets says radio Liberty a can no longer ignore their own loss of prestige and with an Eye on China Moscow must try either to cow or students May fight draft Board ruling Washington up a the us eral John n. Mitchell tint War pro preme court declared today that College students who lose their deferments and Are ordered into service As draft delinquents Are entitled to fight the action in the courts prior to induction. The unanimous 8-0 ruling repudiated an argument by attorney Gen bombers strike Supply lines of guerrillas Saigon up a the u. S. Command kept up its almost daily bombing of guerrilla Supply lines in the a Shau Valley today sending two Waves of b52 bombers after suspected truck hideouts and storage warehouses. Military spokesmen said the eight engine Strat fortresses in Waves of five dropped at least 180 tons of bombs onto the Valley floor that runs parallel to the laotian Border three Miles away. The Valley is the main entryway for the to Chi Minh Trail into South Vietnam from Laos feeding supplies to North vietnamese troops All the Way to the coastal Plains around Hue and Danang. U. S. Air Force dive bombers and army helicopter gunships attacked North vietnamese trucks and Supply stations in the Valley sunday and the pilots reported killing 14 communist soldiers. Despite such signs the guerrillas apparently Are mustering for a tet Type offensive in february u. S. Military officials said today the Viet Cong and North vietnamese Are in no position for heavy battling. Scott endorses authority for Quick action Washington up a Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott today endorsed the controversial a no Knock authority in proposed legislation dealing with drub abuse saying a sob Sisters my accounted for much of the a position. The a no Knock authority would give police the right to crash into an apartment or other suspected Haven of suspected narcotics pushers or wholesalers before they could get rid of the evidence sen. Sam j. Ervin jr., d-n.c., has offered an amendment to eliminate the provision from a Bill on which there was wide agreement to Lessen penalties for using marijuana heroin or other drugs.

The Law has Given the Ordinary draftee no recourse but to refuse induction and subject himself to criminal prosecution or to submit and try to get out of uniform afterwards through a Hareas Corpus proceeding. But today a majority opinion by Justice Hugo l. Black held that College students who lose their deferred status by action of a draft Board can Challenge the reclassification by a civil suit. The ruling came in a Case involving Timothy j. Breen of Bridgeport conn., an undergraduate at the Berkeley school of music in Boston. He was declared a delinquent and classified a after he handed in his draft card at a Vietnam protest meeting. Reject Kirk a efforts for later deadline Washington up a the supreme court rejected today efforts of Florida gov. Claude r. Kirk or. To delay the feb. I deadline for school desegregation ordered in the South. The courts had set the deadline on Jan. 14 for 14 Southern school districts including Bay and Alachua counties Fla.

Kirk in a petition he personally filed said Florida has been planning to achieve total desegregation by next fall and has never tried to Block Progress towards this goal As other states have. The state itself was not a party to the series of cases decided on Jan. 14. They were brought by negro parents or by the Justice department against county school boards of five states a Louisiana Alabama Florida Mississippi and Georgia. Five Days after the ruling Kirk asked for permission to become a party to the Case and he asked the court to reconsider its ruling.
