DENIES PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE BETWEEN EAST AND WEST GERMANY -- Magdeburg,
Volksstimme, 3 Sep 60, p 1
[Comment: At a youth forum held in Magdeburg on 1 September 1960,
Alois Pisnik, First Secretary of the ;Socialist Unity Party Bezirk
Magdeburg management, answered the following question "asked by many"
at the meeting: "Can there be peaceful coexistence between West Germany
and the GDR?"]
No, the principle of peaceful coexistence within Germany is not
applicable. If we were to speak of coexistence between the two German
states, this would mean that the split would remain. But we want a
united, peace-loving, and democratic Germany. For this we want to
mobilize the people. We are supporting the West German workers and the
West German peace forces so that they can bring about a change in policy
over there. When the workers over there replace the Adenauer policy with
a peace policy then confederation between the two German states is possible.
In this confederation, a peaceful competition and a gradual approach can
take place. This is the only possible way toward the unity of Germany.
We are for this way and, therefore, not for coexistence between the two
states, since coexistence assumes that two states will continue to exist
[as separate entities] for a longer period.
CHINESE VERSION OF MONGOLIAN EDITORIAL HAS MAJOR OMISSIONS
The following is an FDD comment.
Only slightly more than half the contents of a 21 September
editorial in the Ulan Bator daily Unen were reprinted in the
22 September Peiping daily Jen-min Jih-pao, obscuring an apparent
shift toward heavier industry by Chinese technicians in Outer
Mongolia, as implied in the Unen original.

The Peiping account confines itself mainly to generalities and
stresses those portions of the editorial dealing with the friend-
ship between Outer Mongolia and China and the accomplishments of the
Chinese revolution. It also mentions prominently the editorial's
general, but few of its specific, remarks about Chinese aid to Outer
Mongolia and cooperation between them.
The original editorial contained passages, which were deleted in
their entirety from the Peiping reprint. Among these were the follow-
ing.
"The form of collective property in the field of economics has
been completely successful in the People's Republic of China. The
overall production of the Chinese people in 1959 in industry and
agriculture increased 31 percent over 1958. In 1959, the Chinese
people produced 13 million tons of steel, 347 million tons of coal,
41 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, and 540 billion chin of
grain. The heroic Chinese people have been extremely successful in
the work of peaceful construction and have contributed their share
continuously in the great competitive struggle between socialist and
capitalist economic systems.
"The following have been constructed in Outer Mongolia through
aid from the Chinese people (a grant of 160 million rubles and a long-
term loan of 100 million rubles): in Suhe Baatar city, the electric
power plant, a model building, the plywood industrial installations,
and a paper factory; and in Ulan Bator, a textile factory, highway
bridges, the Orhon irrigation system, and many fine buildings. The
energy of Chinese workers and technicians has aided in the construc-
tion of socialism in Outer Mongolia, and the Mongolian people are
learning a great deal from the rich experience of the Chinese people.
"With regard to the treaties and agreements drawn up in Ulan
Bator and signed by Premier Chou En-lai a few months ago, the People's
Republic of China agrees to the following: a loan of 200 million
rubles and assistance in metallurgical works capable of producing
100,000 tons of steel a year, a cotton textile factory capable of
producing 30 million meters of cloth a year, glass production, a sugar
plant, apartment houses covering an area of 220,000 square meters, and
a new cultural building."
In the past, press reports have indicated that Soviet technicians
have monopolized heavy industrial aid in Outer Mongolia, while Chinese
technicians have specialized in light industry and agriculture. The new
arrangement appears to reflect a movement by Chinese technicians into
heavier industry.

Kustanay -- A new bituminous coal field has been found at Kyzyl-
Tal', in the southeastern part of Kustanayskaya Oblast,
A. Petruivich, chief geologist of the Severnyy Kazakhstan
Geological Administration, has reported that the coal reserves of the
new discovery, estimated at about 3 billion tons, are larger than those
of the Chelyabinsk bituminous coal basin. The total thickness of the
coal beds is as much as 100 meters.
Development of the new field will be aided by the fact that it is
located near the Esil'-Arkalyk railroad.
STATE ACCEPTANCE COMMISSION GIVEN QUALITY-CONTROL DUTIES -- Moscow,
Stroitel'naya Gazeta, 25 Sep 60
Aleksandrov, chief of the Division of Heavy Machine Building of
Gosplan RSFSR, agrees that criticism directed against the poor-quality
E-659 excavators produced by the Kovrov Excavator Plant was justified.
Therefore, the Vladimirskiy Sovnarkhoz has been ordered to survey the
operations of E-659 excavators and to take appropriate corrective
measures.
To prevent plants from producing substandard machines, series
production can now take place only after a model of the machine has
been accepted by a state corrunission,
NEW REFRIGERATION AND COMPRESSOR EQUIPMENT PLANT -- Moscow, Stroitel'naya
Gazeta, 23 Sep 60
In 1960, the first shops of a large refrigeration and compressor
equipment plant are to go into operation in Pavlodar. The plant is
