MAO'S WORKS SOLD IN SENEGAL -- Peiping, Chung-kuo Ch'ing-nien Pao, 4 Jul
60, p 4
According to preliminary statistics of the Restoration (Fu-hsing)
Bookstore, during the first 5 months of 1960, some 282 copies of Mao
Tse-tung's works were sold in Senegal. Saint Niang, member of the Central
Committee of the African Independence Party, said that the masses pur-
chasing books from the Restoration Bookstore in Senegal have shown par-
ticularly great interest in the works on Marxism-Leninism and that every
day, many people purchase or subscribe to Mao's works. He also said
that the Senegalese workers find an inexhaustible inspiration in Mao's
works, which, he said, help and guide the working class in its struggle.

unistic a str Slovenska (From the History of the Communist Party of
Slovakia). The first three monographic Issues of the magazine are devoted
to the often neglected beginnings of the antifascist movement in Slovakia
in 1939-1942. Other issues to follow sopn will deal with the national
liberation struggle: the underground activities oftthe Communist Party
in the Slovak Army, in the plants, and in the rural areas; various facets
of the history of the armed partisan movement; Soviet aid to those

HUNGARIAN RICE CROP DIFFICULTIES -- Budapest, Magyar Mezogazdasag, Vol XV,
No 11, 18 Jul 60, p 17
Because of the unseasonably cool spring weather, the Hungarian rice
crop had a poor start. Much of the seed grain rotted, especially in the
old fields. According to the observations of the Szarvas ORKI [a research
institute in Szarvas], in 1959 some 41.5-5+.9 percent of the rice seeds
rotted during germination because of the poorly prepared soil and too
much water. In 196,0 in certain areas, an even greater amount of rice is
rotting. In other places, the high water level drowned some plants and
various parasites destroyed the shriveled, weakened plants.

constructed entirely by the Chinese, this ship is equipped for comfort.
It has a large dining room capable of seating over 100 persons at a time,
has more than 100 square meters of floor space for entertainment, and
over 120 square meters of walking space on the promenade deck. This
ship will be put on the Shanghai-Ningpo run.

CZECHOSLOVAK AGRICULTW3 PLAN DELIVERIES LAG -- Prague, Zemed.elske Noviny, I 9 Jul 60
Except for slaughter cattle and poultry, the Czechoslovak agricultural
produce delivery plan for the first half of 1960 was not fulfilled. De-
liveries were as follows (in percent): milk, 93.5; slaughter hogs, 94.7;
eggs, 93,,5; and suckling pigs, 53.6. The lag in egg deliveries, while a
mere 6.5 percent of plan, means that 100 million eggs had to be imported
to meet the country's requirements.

SOVIET CONFEREN'CE'ON LOW AND,MIDDLE ENERGY NUCLEAR REACTIONS -- Mosc&v
Ekonomicheskaya Gazeta, No 45, 22 Jul 60, p 4
New data on the structure and interactiont of atomic nuclei will be
given at the Second All-Union Conference on Low and Middle Energy Nuclear
Reactions, at Moscow University 21-28 July 1960. The reports presented
by Soviet and Foretdgn physicists will make it possible to?form precise
ideas on the present state of the subdivision of nuclear physics concerned
with interactions between nuclei and particles having an energy amounting
to several tens of millions of electron volts,,
Special sessions will deal with the problems involved in direct
nuclear interactions. The accumulated data make it possible to conclude
that nteractions between nuclei do not take place in two stages, as has
been assumed in the classical theory, but directly, bypassing the stage
of the formation of a so-called intermediate nucleus. Another important

subject to be discussed at the conference is the interaction between
heavy ions. Bombardment of nuclei with heavy ions has opened up new
prospects for nuclear physics. This is the method which G. Flerov,
Corresponding M nber of the Academy of Sciences USSR., and his coworkers
applied in synthesizing Element 102. New transuranium elements are
being produced by this method.
