AGRICULTURE
STATINTL
The Ukraine, Kazakh SSR and to some extent Estonian SSR are admittedly slow in various
aspects of their field work, according to regional transmissions during the period
revieved. Fodder production in the first two named republics is still dangerously
behind plan, and in some places definitely worse than last year. RADYANSKA UKRA1NA
(4 July) is particularly concerned about the fodder situation: "The republic as a
whole is lagging behind" (Vidstae reapublika v tsilomu). In its previous editorial
strictures about the lack of hay- eking and silaging progress the paper had made it
clear that most of the fodder preparations were to be completed before the beginning
of grain-harvesting. It now appeare that at least in four oblasts--Chernigov, Kiev,
Suay and Zhitomir--the work is even slower than last year. Grain harvesting, says
the paper, is to begin any day now but the over-all silaging plan has been completed by
only 23.6%. Nor are there any visible signs of improvement:
With the harvesting time drawing near, the silaging
tempos are not speeded up but slowed down. The fodder
silaged in the last five-day period was tens of thousands
of tone less than durb. the previous five-day period.
Ukrainian version:
nablyzhennyam do zhnyv tempy syloauvannya ne na-
roatayut, a znyshuyutaya. Za oatannyu pyatydnevku zasy-
losovano kormv na desyatky tyayach tonn menshe, nizh
U poperednyu pyatydnevku.
Zaporozhye oblast is another where very little feed has been produced so far, but this
and the above-named oblaste are said TO be only a few of the "very many" in the
Ukraine where the situation la "alarming," In some of them, like Chernigov, for
example, the h y-mowing and silaging plans were completed by 10.8% and 8.g% percent
respectively.
Discussing harvesting operations (12 July) already underway in a number of southern
?blasts, the same paper observes regretfully that the field work went off to an
inauspicious start: "miatakes have arisen fro the very first days of the harvest."
Thus in Odessa and Zaporozhye oblaste the grain cannot be delivered from the combines
to the threshing floors for the simple reason that no transportation facilities have
been provided for the parpose, Most of the threshing has to be done by hand for similar
reasons: "Most of the kcilkhozes have not installed threshing machines on the floors."
Defining the point, the paper says that it was really the duty of the machine-tractor
stations to install such equipment, but when they failed to do so no one even protested
because the farm officials "did not care for the mechanization of threshing work."
CBERNOMORSKA KOMMUNA (2 July) speaks of the "alarming news" coming in from some rayons
of Odessa oblast. A large number of combines have not been repaired in time for the
harvesting, and those that have been overhauled have already-revealed "serious
deficiencies." Such is the state of affairs at the Vasenivskiy, Vradievskiy,
Blagoveshchenakiy and Mogilnyanekiy machine-tractor stations, but these are said to
be typical of many others. Especially alarming, says the paper, is the lack of
essential construction, such as roofed threshing floors, which was to have been finished
some time ago. In Lubaahevakly rayon alone, only six out of 25 kolkhozes
have just gotten around to building such roofs, but the situation is not much better
in Prunzovskiy, Razdelnyanskiy, Shirysevakiy and a number of other rayons. Threshing
floors without roofs, it is emphasized, endanger the preaervation of grain.
A summarized report from Nikolayev of 9 July quotes PIVDENNYA PRAVDA and BUZBSKAYA ZARYA
on the "extremely unsatisfactory" (kraine nezadovilna) delivery-of agricultural produce
to the State. Reports coming in from Telegulo-Berezanakiy, Zhovtneviy, Snigirivskly,
Shyrokolanovakiy, Baaht nakiy and other (unnamed) rayons indicate that something
radical will have to be done to improve both harvesting work and deliveries. The mentioned
papers therefore suggest as "indispensable" to organize work on the fields for "at least"
18 to 19 hours a day in order to make up for lost time. The apparopriate Party and
agricultural officials must also see to it that deliveries of produce to the State should
continue "regardless of 'weather aonditloas."

KAZANBSTANSKAYA PRAVDA (2 July) seem that a "number of oblasts" have delayed their spring
mowing and have not fulfilled the plan. Since only five ()blasts are listed as doing a
satisfactory job-eamolinek, hokshetav, kustanai, Dzhambul and South Kazakhstan?the
mentioned number apparently includes the remaining e3even ?blasts of the Republic.
Pursuing the theme on the next day, the same paper strikes a more ominous note by
hinting that inefficiency atone does not account for the slow agricultural progress in
the Republic: "It is necesmaree..to wage a merciless fight against the enemies of the
kolkhoz system," (Neobkhodiwa..vesti bezposhchadnuyu borbu s vragami kolkhoznoy sistemy:
The paper also admits that despite the ef,ringent measures already taken
tbe crtminal attitude (prestupnoye otnoshenie)
toward collective Ian) property, and plundering and
squandering or i2.0nemial peoperty have not yet been
uprooted,
A long unsigned dispatch to PRAVDA from Alma-Ata of 6 July (not broadcast) tells of
the recent plenary session of the Central Committee of the Kazakh Communist Party called
to discuss measures against the continuing widespread "violations of the agricultural
statute" (naruehenia selkhozustava). As discussed in previous CP W reports, the recovery
of embezzled funds and stolen agricultural peoperty, such as land and livestock, Was a
sine qua non in the fight to stem the tide of agricultural crimes. The dispatch quotes
the Kazakh premier Taybekov an reporting to the Central Committee that all the
Government's efforts to seed out crime in agriculture have not yet brought the desired
results:
?numerous cases of agricultural statute violation
are still noted in the Republic:. To this day, a considerable amount
of land, liveetock, agrieuitural products and money has
not yet been returned to the collective farms.
Russian version:
...v eeessubli-ee vst eshche yutsya mmogochislen-

teli. Do aastoyashohegc eremeni znachitelnoye koliches-
tvo zemli, nkota, telekokhozaistvennikh produktov
deneg kolkhozam ethche ne vozvrashcheno.
The Prime Minister also reveals, that many oblast and rayon Party and Soviet officials
whose duty it is to enforce the observance of the statute are themselves violating it.
Some of them, when exposed, manage to evade legal action against them through the
"protection" (pokrovitelstvo) of the oblast Party Committee, as was recently the case
in South Kazakhetan. Leading. Positions in agriculture, it is also revealed, are
frequently held, by people who have in the past been penalized for agricultural statute
violatione. The situation is particularly grave in South Kazakhstan oblast where the
collective farm leadership is "fouled up with people" (zasoreno ludmi) who are not
averse to looting public property.
A report from Tbilisi (in Russian. 8 July) refers to the incidence of collective farm
robbery in Adzhar ASSR (Georgian SSR) in terms almost identical with those used for
Kazakhstan. Although considerable work has already been done toward the elimination
of kolRhoz statute violations, the problem has not yet been licked:
Numerous cases of Rt ve violations of the Kolkhoz
code, usurpation of communal kolkhoz lands, squander-
ing of kolkhoz property, funds, products and livestock
have been revealed in. Adzhar ASSR.
Here, too, a certain arount of official "protection" is said to be hindering the
complete elimination of crime. As in the case of Kazakh SSR also "a number of leading
workers" of Adzhar ASSR were themselves found to be violating the agricultural code.
The Chairman of the Adzhar Council of Ministers Gogolishvili was "reprimanded' by the
Party for lack of vigilance, and a number of rayon Party secretaries relieved of
their duties and "subjected to Party penalties for allowing extortions" at collective
farms.
A Zemtsov article (9 July) declarce that fodder preparations and silaging in the Kazakh
republic are something to be concerned about. Not even one half of the motorized and
horse-drawn hay-mowing machines eere in working condition at the time hay-mowing was
scheduled to begin. The result was a near-collapse of the whole fodder-procurement plan

Complete lack of control over fodder procurement such as eta noted last year, continuea
Zemtsov, reaulted in a great deal of "eyemashing" (ochkovtiratelstvo) among agricultural
officials. Much notoriety in this respect was gained by the Ouryev oblast agricult-ral
organizations which reported an 8% above-plan performance but ran out of fodder as early
as February of this year. What is more, they seem to have gotten away with it "One
wonders 'toy none of the eyewashera was ever held accountable for it&"
A letter to Stalin from the Estonian SSR agricultural workers (4 July) maim the
inferential admiseinn that one of her "serious shortcomings" is the failure to increase
the number and productivity of their livestock and improve the harvest yields of
agricultural products. Theme shortcomings are said to apply to both the collective and
state farms of the Repalics. No further details are offered, however.
Following are some of the other available broadcasts on agricultural activities during
the period reviewed

PARTY ACTIVITIES
RADYANSKA UKRAINA (1 Jaly) calls for a concerted intensified fight against the suppression
of criticism (zatyaka krytyky) from below ad that the voice of the rank-and-file
Communists and the masses may be heard at the top. One of the methods to be employed
for that purpose, the paper suggests, is closer cooperation with the press. This is
precisely 'what a number of Party organisations are not doingg
There are cases when rayon, town and oblast
Party Committees are not supporting press reports
and are ignoring its warnings.

Cited as a typical instance in this connection is the reprehensible behavior of the
Keukenitakar rayon Party committee Drogobych oblast. The work of that organization,
it is pointed out, "contradicts *Cho very nature of Bolahevism" (auperechit Lardy pr4rodi

Evidence that the Komeomol organizations are emulating their Cemmunist mentors
unfaverable attitude toware eriteeiam within the ranks or frow below is contained in
a KOMBOMOLSKAYA PRAVDA editorial of 2 July. Recalling Stalin's advice in 1n2a to
"raise a wide wave of criticism from below against bureaucracy in general and short-
comings in particular", the paper says that no such wave is as yet visible in a large area
of the Komaleeol network. The practice of admitting shortcomings and ignoring them
immediately afterwards is be rig all too frequent, but that, the paper declares, has
nothing to do with the eliminatior of such shortcominge. This objectionable habit,
it is pointed out, is not confined to local Komsomol organizations alone. Hundreds of
etters exposing various "Soviet law violations" are received daily by rayon, oolast and
Republican Central Committeee of the Komsomol but nothing much is being done about
them. Such an attitude, the paper complains, is not conducive to the establishment of
"solid unbreakable bonds" with the masses of nonpartisan youth.
Ineffective criticism, says a De4yatyarov report of 3 July, is worse than no criticism
at all. The Kirov oblast Party Committee sees to believe that criticism is an end in
itself and does not serve any useful purpose other than to comply with demands from
above. Some of the oblast Commuelmt officials, in fact, are going to extremes to
forestall any critical remarks in their direction. Aware of the Party's injunctions against
too much interference in the adelnimtrative affairs of Soviet and other non-narey
organizations, they have now "switched to the other extreme" (alarilis v druguvu krainost)
by adopting a policy of complete noninterference. This ia itself a flagrant violation of
the Party code which provides for constant Communist guidance and supervision in
every sphere of Soviet economic and cultural activities
Suffice it to may that in the past year and a
half the oblast Party Committee has never called
a meeting of the deputy directors of machine-tractor
station and taken no interest in their work.
(The deputy directors of machine-tractor stations, be it noted, are in charge of the
political enlightenment of the workers of their respective stations)

A summarized version of KAZAKHSTANSKAYA PRAVDA (13 July) speaks of the tendency among
certain unnamed Party organizations "to stifle criticism and prevent its development."
Whenever criticism does make itself heard, it is promptly-rendered ineffective by
ignoring the shortcomings it has revealed. No specific organizations or officials are
mentioned.

Nepotism; servility and a variety of similar intraparty practices in the selection and
distribution of qualified Communist personnel provide the substance of scathing
editorial criticism by both RADYANSKA UKRAINA and PRAVDA of 5 July. The training of
Party workers in the Ukraine as a whole, says RADYANSKA UKRAINA quoting a recent
decision of the Republic's Central Party Committee, in still conducted on a pretty low
level. This is particularly obvious in Rovno, Drogobych, Vinnitsa and Dnepropetrovsk
Oblasts where the political background and aptitude of the future executives appear to
play a minor role in the matter of training and placing them in the proper Party or
Soviet organizations. The personnel situation is said to be still worse in Zhitomir,
Lvov and Kamenets-Podolmk oblaste due to the continuing violations of the "bolshevik
principles of selection and distribution of cadres" (bolshovytski pryntsypi doboru i
rozstanovky kadriv). Unqualified Communist personnel in these places is either shifted
from one post to another oTreplaced by equally incompetent people, and the result
is "deterioration of every aspect of the work" (zgubno poznachayetsya na vsyakiy. roboti).
The paper, finally, makes it cleec what it thinks ie wrong with the whole cadre-training
system:
The Party severely condemns those ,who strive
to appoint their friends and cronies to leading po-
sitions regardless of their political and business
qualifications. This practice, alien to bolshevism,
ie conducive to a family-circle atmosphere which in turn breeds servility
and mutual praise....
Ukrainian version:
Partia suvoro oeudzhuye tykh...khto namagayetsya
vyauvaty na kerivnu robotu sboikh pryateliv,
osobysto viddanykh lyndey, nezvazhayuchy na ikh poll-
tythina I dilovu prydatnist. V rezultati tsiei chuzhoy

Discussing this theme in the same vein, PRAVDA points to the admission and training
Of new Party membership as one of the veakest points in the cadre-training system. oust
like in industry, numerous Party organizations and individual officials appear to bays
succumbed to the temptation of making a "good quantitative shoving", and the race for
new members is on in a number of areas despite the official strictures against it.
This practice is said to be widespread in the Moldavian SSR, the Baltic republics, in
Omsk, Pskov and Kaluga ()blasts and other areas. Recalling the recent censure of the
Belorussian Party for similar views on admission to Party membership en masse, the
paper hopes that this would have a sobering effect on all the other Communist
organizations in the country. One or the concomitant evile of this mass screening
of applicants is the complete disregard of the loyal workers already holding candidate's
cards. Many people with "expired candidate's cards" (prosrochenny kandidatskiy stazh)
are reported by still biding their time in the Saratov, Stavropol, Smolensk,
Azerbaijan and other Party Committees.
KAZAKBSTANSKAYA PRAVDA (10 July) pleads for more attention to the training of Cox/mast
officials, particularly? secretaries of primary organizations. The latter are the
most numerous in the Party ramifications and, as has often been admitted, constitute
the major link between the Party and the masses. A number of the Republic's rayon
party committees, the next step up in the hierarchy, appear to maintain a supercilious
attitude toward their subordinates and minimize their contact with them whenever
possible. Since the enlightenment and edueation of primary organization secretaries
i$ often replaced by "administrative measures" (adminiertrativnie mery), these 4unior
Communist officials are unable to make their awn decisions and the result is a do-
nothing policy. The paper does not name any specific organizations but hints that the
deemphasis of the primary party organizations and their secretaries is not confined o
any particular area of the Republic.

A number of Party ctivitiea are discussed on the radio and in the press in context of
agricultural and other work. Thus an unsigned PRAVDA article of 10 July (not
broadcast) blames the recently-discovered deficiences in Moscow oblast agriculture
on inadequate Party propaganda among the collective farmers. A report from Tambov
(13 July) states that the unnecessary shifting of personnel in the lower Party
echelons is responsible forthe serious shortcoming in the oblast collective and state
farms,
ORLOVSKAYA PRAVDA (14 July) discloses that many of the so-called reporting-and-election
meetings (otchetno-vybornie sobrania) now taking place in the oblast are poorly attended,
disorganized and display little activity or initiative. In the Vorochiloveicr rural
council, Znamenakiy rayon, two thirds of the available Communists failed to :rhOV UD for
such a meeting, and the Party secretary was elected by one third of the memboip
bY,An 02,9n hal,got in contravention of Party rules. Lack of popularity of theo
reporting-and-election meetings eltefihere is inferentially admitted by PRAVDA on
14 July. In Nrvgorod oblast, the rayon Party committees "pay little attention''
(udelyayut nolo vnimania) to such meetings and, taking their cue from them, the rank
and file Communists display an equal lack of enthusiasm. In Cherkessk Autonomous Oblast the
meetings are said to be conspicuous for the omission of shortcoming topics and lack of
criticism in general.
The Crimean Komsomol organizations are not doing all they can to whip up enthusiasm among
the rural youth for the coming harvesting campaign, declares KRYMSKAYA PRAVDA on 4 July.
They show little initiative in their mass political work among the farmers, and do
nothing about prodding the mechanization workers into socialist competition. The
paper urges th t the old method of setting up Komsomol "control posts" (kontrolnie posty)
be resorted to so that the necessary deliveriea to the State may be assured. Attention
is called to R zdolnbyr, Azov and Dzhankoy rayons which are said to be slower than all
the others. A MOLODOY IENINETS editorial broadcast from Stavropol on 2 July is
concerned about the unusually small number of Komsomol members among the tractor
brigades, especially in Novo-Alexandrovsky rayon. The young Communist activities in
other (unnamed) rayons are characterized as "low level" which makes it difficult for
them to assume a "leading position" among the tractor drivers and farmers.
The "Hate Americ " Cam)aign: Although there has been no marked increase in the "normal"
flow of broadcasts for home audiences on American "atrocities", some of the
phraseology and descriptive nouns employed in the campaign are now almost identical with
those used in wartime anti-nazi propaganda. Such familiar reference to Hitler's
troops as monsters (izvergi), executioners (palachi), beasts (zveri), beasts of prey
(khiehchniki) and child killers (detoubiytay) are applied to American soldiers in
Korea with increasing frequency. Nor does the "American way of life" in general get
better treatment on the Soviet radio. Thus a description of life in Baltimore, said to be
"typical of the whole of the United States," is calculated to convey the impression of
unrestrained lawlessness with death lurking behind every citizen's back. (It should
perhaps be pointed out here parenthetically that life in Germany received comparatively
very little attention on the Soviet radio during the last war. This, however, may have
been due to the tremendous output on Nazi atrocities in the USSR which, together with
domestic and otherpriority items, accounted for most of the radio time.)
The excerpts quoted below are taken from a talk on "American 7n?anticides" given by
Irina Volk (Home Service, 10 July) shortly after her trip to Korea:
1. Even the animal world has its own unwritten law's: a vicious
animal will never bite or devour a young animal...But the
American beaats0 defying even this law of the
jungle, are devouring babies and tearing them to
pieces.

Quoting Korean "eyewitnesses", Irina Volk mentions some of the gory details of the
treatment of the Korean population at the hands of the Americans:
2,, The American beasts broke into our homes and took the
children away from the fighting soldiers' wives. They
beat the little tote before their mothers eyes
trying to get information as to the whereabouts of their
fathers, the guerrilla headquarters...When the bandits
failed to get anything out of them, they dragged the tied-up
mothers to the wells, stabbed their children and threw them into the
wells while theyrwere watching...
Russian version:

Na ikh glazakh zakololi detey I brosili v nikh...
From an annonymous commentary, 'Pictures on the American Way of Life" (Home Service,
11 July):
Baltimore seethes with all sorts of criminals.
Thieves, thugs, pickpockets, rogues and murderers
wander about the streets...in the evenings. They may
beat you up with truncheons, kill or maim you, stick
a knife inta your back...On a warm day inflated bodies
of unknown people come to the surface of the harbor...
The happenings in Baltimore, however, are typical for
whole of the United States,
MISCELIANEOUS
A;;Brome Service broadcast of 11 July says that a group of Soviet scientists have developed
a highly sensitive universal X-ray meter which can measure the exactemount of X-rays
used on any object 1,1.er o aerv tion. This invention, it it claimed, will considerably
widen the scope of scientific research work.
That the restitution of lost parts of the body, in men and animals alike, can be artifi-
cially stimulated is the view of Soviet science, according to Prof. Studitsky of the
Seversky laboratory of animal morphology (13 July).. The fallacious view of the
-"idealistic" scientists that damaged or lost tissues cannot be recovered says the
Professor, has now been refuted by Soviet experimental research. Muscles and body
parts can be recovered "if certain conditions are observed." This point, however, is not
amplified.
Two new achievements in astronomy are ch lked up to Soviet credit by Prof. Farnage
(12 July) of the Society for the Dissemination of Political and Scientific Knowledge.
The so-called association stars are said to have been first discovered by the
president of the Armenian Academy of Sciences Ambartsumyan. This discovery is reported
to have produced additional data on the stellar system and interstellar media. Farnago
also reveals that Soviet photographs "had caught" the process of star formation,
depicting the evolution of a star in the making.
