In Time for Those HOT Days Ahead

By BAERT BRAND
After seven years of study on
the Russian economy, Prof. Greg-
gory Grossman, visiting summer
lecturer from the University of
California, has established himself
firmly into phases of Russian re-
search studies in the United States.
Born in Kiev, Russia and raised
in Northern Manchuria, Prof.
Grossman came to America in 1938
to attend Harvard and the Univer-
sity of California.
Since then, the young professor
has become an expert on the Rus-
sian economy and a veteran of
three and one half years at the
noted Russian Research Center at
Harvard.
This summer Prof. Grossman has
detached himself from his duties
as Economics professor at the Uni-
versity of California to come to the
University and teach a course on
the economy of Soviet Russia and
participate in the research seminar
in Russian Studies.
Speaks Tomorrow
Another activity will be held to-
morrow when Prof. Grossman will
speak as guest of the Economics
Clam Chowder and Marching So-
ciety at 8 p.m. in Rackham Audi-
torium on "Capital Resource Allo-
cation in A Planned Economy with
Special Reference to Rapid Econo-
mic Growth."
Russian studies in -the United
States have not developed as far
as they might, Prof. Grossman1
commented. "However, while no
University in the United States
grants a PhD in Russian Studies
many schools offer Master's De-i
grees, including the University."

bia is probably the best known of
the teaching centers for Russian
Studies, he said. Others are Har-
vard, where teaching and research
is done, the University of Califor-
nia, University of Indiana and the
University of Michigan.
During his seven years of con-
centrated Russian Study, Prof.
Grossman has become especially
interesting in problems of growth
and development in the Soviet eco-
nomy.
"The Soviet economy is growing
rapidly in terms of total produc-
tion but still productivity per per-
son is low compared to American
standards," he said.
Red Policy Changes
Prof. Grossman mentioned two
intended policy changes in Russian
economics sinceaStalin's death in
March of 1953 although, he adds,
it is too soon to judge actual
changes in the Soviet economic
structure.
One is an attempt by the Soviet
regime to pay greater attention to
agricultural production which is
adequately keeping pace within-
dustrial or population growth. The
second is more emphasis on levels
of consumer consumption.
"The prospect of private owner-
ship is a strong incentive in econo-
mic life," he said, adding he does
not believe that the peasants, who
comprise half of the Russian pop-
ulation find adequate expression of
their needs under the collective
farming system.
Peasant problems in Russia, he
said, rest on an economic base of
excessive production demands and
the lack of effective incentives.
Prof. Grossman believes that the
Russian regime can better control
the performance of the industrial
worker than the peasant. "This is
because they have channeled the
activity of the industrial workers
better to the regime's n e e d s
through proper motivations which
includes payment for piecework."

When asked wether his studies
and interests have generated any
ill-will toward him, Prof. Gross-
man replied, "I have had a great
deal of willingness and eagreness
to learn about Russia from stu-
dents."

The most effective means of reaching students
and faculty of The University is the advertising
columns of The Michigan :Daily.
