The reorganization will en- able a reduction in food and farm prices generally and a consequent rise in living standards. This was made clear last week when the text was is- sued of the long report given by Nikita Krushchev to the central committee meeting on plans for the machine and tractor stations, known as MTS, which have long pro- vided and operated the mach- inery for the collective farms. It was on the basis of this report that the central com- mittee adopted a resolution approving the reorganization plan and submitting it to-a nation-wide discussion before it is debated in the Supreme Soviet. “One of the most important tasks of Communist construc- tion in the Soviet Union,” says Krushchev’s report, “Ys to provide an abundance of food for the population and raw materials for industry.” To achieve this it is now considered that the best way is to end the present system under which the MTS own and control the machinery used on the collective farms. Soviet scientists In future, the collective farms will be able to buy their machinery out of their own funds and will them- selves decide how to use it. The MTS will not be closed down, however, but will be reorganized into technical re- pair stations, to be known as RTS, repairing machinery for the collective farms in their area, supplying them spare parts and fuel, and hir- ing out machinery which the farms do not possess. Under the new system of technical servicing it is con- sidered that machinery will be used more rationally, la- bor productivity will be raised and agricultural production will increase. The MTS have existed for 30 years, and a resolution ap- proved by the central com- mittee after a two-day dis- cussion paid tribute to the great historic role they have played in establishing and consolidating the collective- farm system. The resolution said that the majority of the collective farms have become very strong and that the existing form of providing technical service through the MTS had ceased to satisfy the demands of agriculture. In many cases it was even beginning to hold back the development of the advanced collective farms. with - > New president of Argentina is Dr. Arturo Frondizi, shown here receiving a victory kiss from his daughter. Frondizi promised a political amnesty as one of .his gov- ernment’s first measures. He will take office on May 1, with the support of a majority in the new congress and all pro- vincial governments. His Radical party won all gov- ernships in last month’s elections. FBI implicated in Cuban terror reign A picture of life in Cuba today under the Batista dictatorship ig given in an appeal from the Cuban Popular Socialist party to workers in all lands. The party, itself banned, makes it clear that it repudiates terrorism as’a means of struggle, and has no connection with any terrorist acts. “Yet it is against us espec- ially that the government’s re- pression is aimed,” says the ap- peal, asking for democratic opinion throughout the world to demand that the Cuban peo- ple should have at least the will report thermo - nuclear experiments MOSCOW—Several groups of Soviet scientists at present working on thermo - nuclear problems will report results to the second international conference on peaceful uses of atomic energy in Geneva later this year. Physicist Academician Igor Kurchatov announced this in Pravda last week in an art- icle on controlled thermo- nuclear reactions. He praised the British Zeta achievement as ‘an excellent- ly designed experimental in- stallation,” but said the re- sults so far were insufficient to give “a clear picture of phenomena going on the chamber.” inside Calculations showed that temperatures of 300 to 400 million degrees centigrade were obtainable with deuter- ium and 40 to 50 million de- grees with a tritium-deuter- ium mixture. Only at such temperatures would the energy released be greater than that used up. But the prize awaiting hu- manity was great — energy from 400 gallons of oil. A crowded meeting of physicists, chaired by Peter Kapiitsa last week discussed the West Germany scientist Heissenberg’s new theory of elementary particles. Academician Leo Landau said it might provide the key to penetrating the essence of elementary particles and their inter-action. It might make possible the description of so- called “strange particles” in mathematical terms.

Con- stitutional and democratic rights are formally suspended for six months, but in fact they have not existed for the past five years. ° “The government has mur- dered over 1,000 of our coun- trymen, including children and women.
