(The Wafd, together with all other political parties, was made illegal shortly after the king’s downfall.) According to Al Massaa they planned to invalidate both the 1954 agreement for the evacua- tion of British -troops from Egypt and the nationalisation. of the canal. They were also going to can- cel the Arab nations’ solidarity pact and the joint command set up sy Egypt, Syria and Jor- dan, and were going to go back on the government’s recogni- etion of China, and on trade deals with the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. The men named in the an- nouncement are: Dr, Salah El Din, a former Wafdist Foreign Minister who was to have been premier after the coup; Dr. Fattah Llassan® former Interior Minister, who was also prominent in the Wafd; and Ahmad Atef Nas- sar, a former brigadier who was named as the leader of the conspiracy. Ben Gurion playing with fire’ says Soviet paper troops along the Syrian-Israeli truce - line.” The dispatch said that Israeli extremists were seeking to create a war psychosis in the country and that Ben Gurion himself was delivering war- mongering speeches almost every day. Pravda dismissed Ben Gurion’s attempt to blame the Soviet Union for the in- creased tension in the area and said that he had lost all sense of reality. It also dismissed his attempt to deny Israel’s responsibility for the systematic provocations along the Israeli-Syrian truce line. It put all this clamor in Israel down to plans for fresh pressure on Syria, and other Arab countries who refused to accept the Eisenhower Dec- trine. a a ROOFING | 24 REPAIRS Duroid, Tar and Gravel Gutters and Downpipes Reasonable NICK BITZ PA, 6031 aS % The USSR celebrat ed Navy Day last weekend and Marshal Georgi K.

Russia’s farms set new records, industrial production, wages rise By SAM RUSSELL MOSCOW In only one year the number of beef and dairy cattle in the Soviet Union has been increased by three million. There are also 5,300,000 more sheep\and 4,900,000 more goats, according to the report on the fulfilment of the economic plans for the first half of this year given last weekend. Meat production increased by 30 percent. Milk production by 26 percent, bringing it to about two and one-half times what it was in 1953, when the first measures were taken to improve the state of affairs in agriculture. There has been a further extension of the area under grain crops, which is now some 58 million acres more than in 1953. This year’s spring sowing plan has been ex- ceeded. The rapid growth of grain production lays the basis for further. advances. in stock breeding, which should make feasible the attainment of the objective set by Krushchev — the overtaking in the next few years of the United States in per capita production of meat, milk and butter. The report also discloses that in the first half of this year the Soviet government com- pleted new housing accommo- PATRONIZE — CARNEL’S COFFEE SHOP 410 Main Street Under New Management Robbie & Grace Robertson increased one million is 36 percent for over which dation people, -more than in the same period last year. On the industrial front the production figures for the first half of the year speak for themselves — 226 million tons -of coal, 25 million tons of steel, 46 million tons of oil, 102,000 million kilowatt hours of el- ectricity. Average earnings in indus- try increased by five percent, while sales of consumer goods increased by 16 percent. The report says that gross ‘industrial output increased by 10 percent compared with the first half of last year, and this includes an increase of 11 per- cent in the means of produc- tion and of 8 percent in con- sumer goods. (Speaking to Czechoslovak- ian workers in the Skoda plant last week, Krushchev mention- ed the rise in meat. produc- tion’ and derided fears that there were not yet enough freezing-plants. “There ‘is an easy way out,” he said, “We can reduce prices and then ev- eryone will find a place for storing in their. own stomachs. We shall be able to place hun- dreds of thousands of tons of meat into that, so to say, stor- age space.
