New SOviet Plan Lowers Form er Econom i
Goals
MOSCOW ()-The Soviet Un-
ion has slowed down on the road
toward the promised land of com-
munism.
The five-year economic develop-
ment plan published this week
shows this. It reduced 1970 goals
set in the Soviet Communist
Party's' 20-year program as road
guides toward achieving the mil-
lennium of good living by 1980.

Controversy
White House Says No
'Communists Coalition
Before Elections
WASHINGTON A')-The White
House said yesterday the United
States favors free elections in
Viet Nam-"with all of us abiding
by the consequences of these elec-
tions, whatever they may be."
This statement came in the
midst of a controversy with Sen.
Robert Kennedy (D-NY), on in-
cluding Communists in the South
Viet Nam government. Kennedy
'had said in Saigon on Saturday
Communists should be given "a
share of power and responsibility"
in that government.
The controversy has now ap-
parently been resolved.
Bill Moyers, White House press
secretary, declared yesterday there
is no disagreement between the
Johnson administration and Ken-
nedy "if Kennedy did not propose
a coalition government with Com-
munist participation before elec-
tions are held."
Kennedy News Conference
Kennedy, holding a news con-
ference at the Capitol shortly af-
terward, said he is "not in favor
of thrusting the Communists on
the people of South Viet Nam."
He declared he found no dis-
agreement beween what he was
saying and what Moyers had said.
Kennedy appeared to go beyond
4 the administration's position, how-
ever, on this critical Vietnamese
peace issue by saying that the
question of putting Communists
into a Saigon government prior to
elections could be decided at a
peace conference.
"I am not suggesting that the
0 Communists automatically be put
in power," Kennedy said, "but if
the negotiators -feel it is the best
way to proceed in forming an in-
terim government, we -houldn't
shut the d o o r automatically
against them."
He repeated the essence cf the
* statement which set off the con-
troversy Saturday by saying he felt
the Communists should have "a
share of responsibility and power"
in South Viet Nam after peace is
made. He said Saturday that was
at the heart of hope for a nego-
tiated settlement.
Government by Elections
Yesterday Kennedy,said there is
a possibility the Viet Nam war
would be settled on some basis
which would not provide for elec-
tions, although he thought the
ideal way to create a permanent
government would be to have
elections.
Should the negotiators decide on
elections, he said, he would not
favor giving the Communists any'
voice in a permanent government
unless they demonstrated substan-
tial support within the country.
Ball, Bundy and Vice President
SHubert H. Humphrey, who was
then in New Zealand, all attacked,

the ground that Kennedy was
talking about forming a coalition
in Saigon to include Communist:

Nor this anything likely to be people."
The party lays down policy1
which the Soviet government fol-
lows, so its plan will become the
official directive later.
The new five-year plan says 400
million square meters of new hous-
ing will be built by 1970. But it
omits the party program's claim
that the Soviet housing shortage1
will be solved by then. It seems
doubtful it will be.
The program promises a doub-
ling of incomes in this decade. The
average worker's monthly income
at the end of 1960 was $89 so
doubling would mean $178. But
the new plan promises only $126.67
by 1970.
Many production goals given inj
the program in 1961 or announced'
in 1963 as part of the program
have been reduced by the new
plan.
The following statistics show, in
order, 1965 production as reported
recently, 1970 production set in
the party program, and the plan
goals now set for 1970:
-Electricity (billion kw. hours):
I 507, 900-1000, 840-850.
-Oil million metric tons): 243,
390, 345-355.
-Coal (million metric tons):
578, 686-700, 665-675.
-Steel (million metric tons):
91, 145, 124-129.
-Plastics (million metric tons):
0.821, 5.3, 2.1-2-3.
-Fe r t ili z e r (million metric
tons): 31.3, 77, 62-65.'
-Shoes (million pairs): 486,
825, 610-630.
-Grain (million metric tons):
120.5, 229, 169.3.
-Meat (million metric tons):
9.6, 25, 11.5-12.
-Milk (million metric tons):
72.4, 135, 83.3-85.4.
The drop in agricultural goals
was particularly noticeable. The
party program said by 1970, "The
Soviet Union will outstrip the
United States in output of the key
agricultural products per head of
population." But agriculture has
continually been the weakest point
of the Soviet economy.
The plan says a source of farm-
ers' income "should also be pri-
vate auxiliary farming," meaning
the private plots that theoretical
communism, as enshrined in the
party program, likes to ignore.
The meat and the milk goals de-
pend heavily upon private live-
stock.
The long range program prom-
ised that at the end of this decade
the working week, now 41 hours
in six days for most nonagricul-
tural workers, would be 35 or 36
hours in five or six days. The
subject was ignored in the new
five-year plan.

Space Travel Effects
The new flight apparently is
intended to test biological reac-
tions to longer periods in space,
possibly as a preparation for the
trip to and from the moon.
Such biological testing mightj
also be necessary as a control on
a moon trip by dogs. The dogs
now orbiting the earth would be
studied for space travel effects
which could then bebcompared
with effects to be observed on
"moon dogs."
This comparison would tell sci-
entists more about the effects-:
and the dangers-of man's trav-
elling to the moon and back than
simply orbiting the earth would
tell.
