Soviet Transportation

DUSSIAN First Deputy Premer Lazar NJ.
~ kaFanoyitch recently told a massed
group of railroad workers., meeting in the
Kremlin that the Red Army would reach
out farther than Berln--if another inter
national conflict oveTtakes the world.
The Soviet official thus warned the West
that Communist armies would invade West
Europe If new war occurs And he told
Russian railroad workers the Soviet trans
poraton system would be up to the task
Just as it had been when Hitler attacked
Russia in 1871, if that day came.
Despite the assuring words kagan-
ovich's speech confirmed what many ives
tern observers had long suspected. In re-
vealing that Soviet production of railroad
rolling stock had been down sharply in the
past few years. the Deputy Premier sup
ported the theory of many westerners who
