USSR sets new pollution standards MOSCOW (AP) - The Soviet Union, one of the world's biggest polluters, an- nounced yesterday it has adopted a new state standard to "cut to the minimum" the amount of harmful wastes industry can discharge into the atmosphere. Soviet sources said at the same time that the government is becoming in- creasingly aware of the need for a single, centralized agency for pollution control, like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. THE ANNOUNCEMENT yesterday called for the establishment of in- dividual agencies in large industrial cities to monitor and control pollution. The sources, who asked not to be iden- tified, said eventually one central agency would be in overall control. It was not specified what the min- imum acceptable level for air pollution would be under the new standard, which gods into effect in January 1980, The campaign to clean up inaustriai pollution began in the early 1970s. In 1976, the 25th Communist Party Congress allocated abeut $15 billion for a five-year program to protect the en- vironment. The new standard is the latest in a series announced for regulating air, land and water pollution. "THE NEW STATE standard of purity of the atmosphere takes into account modern, hygienic, economic and ecological demands," said V. Tkachenko, deputy chairman of the U.S.S.R. Committee on State Standar- ds, who was quoted by the Communist Party newspaper Pravda. Pollution in the Soviet capital has abated considerably in the past 10 years because of the installation of control devices and a continuing program to relocate major industries outside the capital. A decade ago, one Muscovite noted, the Moscow River was so polluted that no one would venture to swim in it except bn the outskirts of the city. But now groups of young people swimming in the river are a common sight in summertime. The recent increased interest in fighting polution does not appear to have had a significant impact on many other cities, however. IN THE EASTERN Siberian in- dustrial city of Ulan Ude, for example, a visitorTecently found the sun diffused by an acrid gray pall hovering low over the ground as a dozen or more factory stacks poured dense smoke into the air. One Soviet source said he saw advan- tages and disadvantages to the gover- nment's pactice of policing itself. "IT IS EASIER to impose national standards on Soviet industry than in a capitalistic society where you have to deal with private in- dustries, unions and state governmen- ts," hesaid. There has been concern,dhowever, over whether Soviet industry is following previous government regulations to the letter and whether there has been proper enforcement of the standards, There has been much debate on the subject in the press, woth some complaints voiced about insuf- ficient monitoring of compliance with existing guidelines. While Western diplomats here do not believe the Soviets have a worse pollution problem than the West, they contend the clean up effort is long over- due.. __ TO STOP SOVIET EXPANSION: Kissinger proposes lending code STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - Manhattan Bank's international ad- provincial mining capital of Kolw Former Secretary of State Henry visory committee, was in stockholm for and massacred more than 1 Kissinger said Monday Western coun- the panel's semiannual meeting. whites-many of them Europeans w tries should adopt a uniform lending Cuban troops and Soviet supplies and run the copper, zinc and cobalt min code as a lever against Kremlin foreign advisers have helped install a Marxist that provide most of Zaire's foreif policy instead of "contributing to Soviet government in Angola and crush ' a earnings.
