Recently parents have been bringing psy- chiatrists more and more children who, having heard of the mys- terious poison called fallout, are terrified of rain, snow and milk. While statistics are impossible to get, there have been reports of children committing or trying to commit suicide. Some teachers report a spreading attitude among — pupil, that there isn’t much sense studying, since they’ll be vapor- ized by bombs before they grow — up. ized not on a geographical but production basis with separ- ate regional committees and central committee bureaus for — industry and agriculture. — It has also called for cent- ral control of all industrial design and research institutes and for changing the state building and planning organs to ensure better coordination and technological progress. The changes had been pro- posed earlier by Premier Khrushchev in his report to the committee. He had stated that the radical reorganiza- tion of the party’s 10 million members on the »ew basis would ensure production lead- ership by people ‘with a full knowledge of the job’ and aid the advance to Commun- ist abundance. But even the most perfect structure, he warned, “will not give the desired results if we do not put the manage- ment of production in the hands of vigorous and talent- ed organizers ready to work for the party’s cause with rev- olutionary zeal. And we have such réople.” In calling for the changes, Khrushchev pointed out that in the capitalist countries cen- tralization produced tremen- dous profits. “Why don’t we make use of what the capitalists have that is rational and economically profitable?” he asked. “In a planned economy this is far easier and simpler to do. “There was a time — dur- ing the personality cult — when the idea was sedulously fostered that everything of ours was ideal and everything foreign unreservedly bad. “But the time of the per- sonality cult has passed. We should remember Lenin’s be- hest to be able to learn from the capitalists, if need be.”’ Centralization of research and design in the defence in- dustries, he said, had given the Soviet Union the most up- to-date military equipment.

While the annual sub drive is officially over for another year, the fight to build. the circulation of the PT (and thus extend its influence) goes on... Paper sales and the signing up of new readers were, by and large, successful, features of this drive—where we did fall down was in the job of collecting all re- newals. It is still not too late to correct this weakness. If we pick up all renewals we will make our 1900 target. This then, should be done without further delay.
