RUSSIA TO START
new 5-YEAR PLAN
BY M. S. HANDLER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
MOSCOW, Aug. ls.-W.D-The
Soviet Union will undertake \ new
five-year plan covering the years
194e to 1850 which will have AZ
its goal the development Of an
industrial plan greater than that
of pre-war Russia, it was disclosed
today.
Instructions have been issued by
the central committee Of the Com
munist party and the Council Of
Peoples Commissars to the State
Planning Association and various
Commissariats to draw up five
year plans.
The plans, according to the in
structions, should aim at bringing
about:
I. Complete restoration Of the
economy in the former occupied
zones.
2. Postwar reorganization Of the
national economy.
3. Further developments in all
regions of the Soviet Union as
a result of which the pre-war de-
velopment Of the national economy
should be considerably surpassed.
The instruction also mention
res Grafton and expansion Of the
railwaysystem.
The U. S. S. K. has had three
previous five.year plans. The first
began in 1927, the second in 1888
and the third in 1887 all designed
to mobilize the Soviet Unions re-
sources to achieve an improved
economy
Emphasis on heavy industry in
the recons 'uetion program TO-
liberated territories OF Russia had
indicated there would be no de-
Walton from the fundamental
economics beliefs that prevailed
ir the U. S. S. r. before the war.
The concept held then and still
held today is that any industrial
society must possess basic indus
tries to exploit the natural re-
sources and provide a means of
defense.
The new plan will require ma
tional effort surprising the pre-
war plans. 1t was generally be-
lieved the task of restoration and
reconstruction alone would absorb
Russia's economic energies for
years. However, the new plan calls
for expansion as well so that by
1850 Russia will have surpassed
the level Of its pre.war develop
ment.
/ Substantial progress :.lready has
been made In reconstruction in
the war battered areas, but the
task is just begun. The question
not answered by the instructions"
was how the state proposed to
mobilize the people to carry out
the double program.
The prime factor in reconstruc-
ton is steel output. Development
Of the Ural steel mills and partial
restoration of the Donbas mills
has raised production to approx.
mately $4,000, 900 tons. BY the end
of 1916, steel production is ex-
pected to increase to $4,000, 900
tens.
Russia also has oil in abundance.
and her electrificiation program
is getting underway rapidly so
the five-year-planners can count
on adequate power.

ority on evacuation, Wedemeyer
said. (SBS correspondent Don Pry.
or said that American hospital
ships have been asked to stand in
China ports to take on evacuees.)
Brig. Gen. George Ohmstead Of
Des Moines, Ia, head of the
Army's G-5 Ground Aid Service,
reported that there were approx
mately $500 prisoners in the Muk.
den area, 5000 at Shanghai, $500
at Hainan Island, 5000 in the
Hangkong area, 2,70o near Pei
ping, 1000 in Korea, $500 in For
mosa, and 5000 in Indo- China.
These figures do not include Chi.
nese prisoners and internees.
Wedeneyer said that there
would be no discrimination in
evacuating the prisoners, regard
less of nationalities, and that Al!
prisoners would be given the same
treatment. He said that Swiss Red
Cross representatives have done a
fine job in ameliorating the condi-
ton of the prisoners.
Other relief teams meanwhile
were disclosed to have parachuted
over a widespread area into other
camp locations to make arrange
ments for evacuating the thou
sands OF Allied prisoners of war
and civilian interneeS.
An American relief team which
dropped into Peiping radioed that
their party was treated well by
the Japanese, who insisted that the
war was not yet over. The team
was permitted to operate its radio
in the clear, subject to japanese
censorship.
The Japanese commander insist
ed, however, that he must have
permission from his headquarters
before permitting the team to visit
the prisoners or internees in the
Peiping area, although he permit
ted the relief workers to send Gig
arettes to the camp. Arrangements
were being made to land planes
for evacuation of the prisoners.
A report from a relief party at
Weihsien in shantung Province
said that although the japanese
were sullen, they offered no re-
sistance. The Americans had to
keep talking to keep them in
line" one radio report said.

Earlier, Mrs. Wainwright h a d
told the United Press that she
keeps her radio going constantly
in the hope of hearing some word
Of her husband, who has been a
prisoner since the surrender OF
CorregldOr.
When contacted today, she said
she was elated over reports that
the general was sin good shape"
and was expected to arrive in
Chungking within a few days. How
ever, she told the United Press
she hoped she would soon receive
official word of his safety.

said, because don't know wheth-
err he may be brought to the Pa

Mrs. Wainwright has not seen

transferred to Manchuria she has
had only one direct message from
him by postcard.

Maj. Gen. Walter c. Short, u

Harbor investigation, is at Wal
ter Reed Hospital, threatened
with pneumonia, it was learned
today.
The general, who was Army COM
mander Of the Hawaiian department
when the Japanese attacked Pearl
Harbor December Z, 1s4l, was taken
to the hospital Saturday. He was
described as quite ILL.," but was re-
ported to have had a comfortable

The 66-year-old soldier has been
in almost daily attendance at the
hearings into the events leading up
to the japanese sneak attack OF
four years ago.
These hearings will give Gen
Short and Admiral Husband E.
Kimmel, who was Pacific feet COM
mander at the time of the attack,
the first opportunity they have had
to present their side of the story
publicly, and there have been indi-
cations the two key witnesses might
be heard soon after the Christmas
holidays.
Gen. Shorts illness is almost GER

Mr.. Fraser, who fought the veto
power reposed in the Big Five at

1t should be repealed.
Mr.. Fraser praised Gen. Mac
Arthur's administration in Japan
and said he believed it conformed
to the wishes Of the Pacific nations,
At the same time, however, he be-
lieves that serious consideration
should be given to permitting other
countries with Pacific interests to
have voice in affairs in Japan,
and he said in this connection he
thought the Far Eastern Advisory
Commission should have more posi-
tive powers instead Of being simply
an advisory body.
