Ryan a special correspondent Moscow a for one who saw the soviet Union to the last Days of the Stalin Era a fresh visit creates an immediate impression of All around betterment of the average russians life. Yet much of the dreary change. That is equally striking As was to be expected in View of the communist party s Lon term policy the a by Plikis Stro in ii a the great projects such As hydroelectric stations dams and the huge heavy Industrial installations cherished by the party a planners a have been multiplying All along. In addition there Are Many new airports hotel buildings glistening business buildings of steel Alu Minum and Glass Many new apartment buildings and new roads leading into soviet cities. There Are More and bigger stores at first glance there seem to be More and better goods in the stores and in some respects this is True. It also appears that there Are More people with Money to spend in the stores. However behind All the outward glitter there is much that is the same As Ever before. A prolonged walk in any one of the cities now open to foreigners suggests that the consumer is not much better off than was his father it suggests that the party in t particularly interested in the consumer or in anything much besides retaining its own position As a ruling elite goods in the stores remain mostly shoddy and outrageously expensive soviet production for the consumer Side still strikes the Westerner As scandalous for of resources there is no shortage of wealth and skills for whatever helps construct centralized Power for the military for the space program for air com mum did is for heavy Industry Little remains for the consumer and on that Side the tendency still is to polish the visible brass and forget the rest to the westerners Eye the consumer Economy remains a severe indictment of the soviet system. So enormously Rich is the s a that it migh Long ago have surpassed the United states to May Fields but chances that it will Evn catch up to the foreseeable future Are a nation As fantastically Rich As extremely dim. Moscow is Lithe soviet Union in All manner Likely to risk the measures that would be necessary to take advantage of the opportunities. The measures would include releasing the Economy from restraints which have been imposed upon it Over the years and permitting a Large degree of local discretion initiative and autonomy Moscow is unlikely to do this because such things threaten to erode centralized authority. Without an extraordinarily Strong hand at the Helm the Consumers in another sort of Economy might easily run away with the show thus the Prospect is for continued improvising within the present framework. This Means the Economy a see Russia. Page 8
