in all Soviet capitals, including
Moscow.
How can this happen so consist
emily in a country which lays
claim to being one of the great
est powers? Watch any ordinary
building project in any Soviet
capital, and you wonder how it is
possible for the Soviet Union to
build a strong nation.
The labor force for ordinary con-
struction is made up of third rate
personnel, many of them women
and boys. They are among the low
est paid industrial workers in the
U.S.S.R. If you watch long enough,
you can see them inevitably
wrecking their machinery by inept
handling. Outside my own apart

Women and boys lay bricks in
such a way that you can peer

young girls slamming away with
hammers and gossiping uncon'

The answer is this: There is no,

Soviet industry. The best skilled

Grimm said. "The potential has
been there since opening day. Our

along. Now we're hitting, hustling
and coming on"
Asked to be more specific,
Grimm picked up some stray ex-
amples. He didn't need to mention
that Thomson's return, even as a
pinch hitter, had been a tremen-
douS morale booster.
"The kid, Hank Aaron, has been
hitting good, especially the last
three games. He won the last
game in Pittsburgh with a home
run.
Eddie Mathews has started hit
ting home runs like he did last
year. For a long time he wasn't
pulling the ball.
Joe Adcock is having a good
year and Andy Pafko is going good
again after we gave him a little
rest. Bill Bruton is so hot in center
that don't alternate him and Jim
Pendleton any more. Bruton can
do so many things when he gets
on the bases.
"Del Crandall has been doing a
great job. He had tough time
