PRODUCTION IN RUSSIA
Claim Made By Mr Khrushchev
(Rec. 9 p.m.) MOSCOW, April 21. The Soviet- Communist Party First Secretary (Mr Khrushchev) said today that Russia had moved up into second place in world industrial production, but had not yet caught up in every respect with the advanced capitalist countries. “We are still behind them as regards per capita production of certain manufactured goods,” he said. “Our main economic task is to overtake and outstrip them in this respect, and we shall do it.”
Mr Khrushchev was addressing a meeting of collective farmers in Kashino, a village outside Moscow, at the unveiling of a memorial to Lenin, the Soviet news agency, Tass, reported. The village was among the first in Russia to take up Lenin’s slogan: “Soviet power plus electricity equals communism,” and to build a small power plant.
