zens. Over 80 per cent of them
now can read. Justice Douglas
said.
The only vestige of private
enterprise he found in Russia
was in the farmers markets.
which are very important to
the Russian economy. and very
colorful too" the speaker said.
Here the farmer brings the
fresh produce which he grows
on about one acre of land
which the government allows
him for his own use. He can
sell his products for any price
he can get, and the govern
ment's only problem is being
sure the farmer doesn't spend
too much Of his time on his
own one acre. thereby neglect
ing the big collective farms.
Justice Douglas said.
Nevertheless. the govern
ment encourages the individ-
ual farm projects. even ex-
empting the profit from their
operation from the farmers
income tax. he said. The
small farms provide so per
cent Of Russia's vegetables and
fruit, and one third of its
meat and milk. he declared.

Soviet Russia has more

gram" Supreme Court Justice
William o. Douglas said
yesterday.
This country has under
estimated Russia, and we
have sort of brainwashed our
selves about her." the iurist
told the Woman's National
Democratic Club during a
showing Of pictures he took
during a trip to Russia in
1855.
Russia is much more power
full. has made much more
progress. and Is a much more
formidable opponent than we
recognize" Justice Douglas
said.
Hustle and Bustle

that gives the impression OF
great hustle and hustle and
progress. he added.
While 1t is true there are
some slave labor camps, by
and large the people Of Rus
STA are not moved by whips,
but by their own manifest
destiny" the jurist declared.
Comparatively few are Com
munists, he said.
The Soviets are building
beautiful dams with great
engineering proficiency" and
the suggestion that they can
only do what the German
scientists told them to do is
all poppycock." the justice said.
Terribly Proficient"
Russian scientists are ter
ribly proficient" he asserted.
They are 10 years ahead Of US

they probably are behind us in
applied science"

ton will turn out seven times
as many doctors in 1857 as
will be graduated in this
country, Justice Douglas said.
Russia already has more
doctors per capita than the
United States, 60 per cent of
them women. he declared.
Soviet agriculture is highly
mechanical. Justice Douglas
said. Their equipment is not
as UP 10 date as ours--about
vintage 1890. But it seems to
work"
Stuck With System
Soviet agriculture is very
inefficient despite this. be-
cause there is a great excess
of manpower on the farm. he
said.
But Russia is sort Of stuck
with the system" he declared.
Forty two per cent of Soviet
workers live on the farms.
This is too many, but Stain
forced them into farming. and
now they have a vested in
terest in staying there. They
get free disqualification. food
and housing. and they know
they will always be taken care
of. So they don't want to move
off to a factory job"
Soviet cotton is as good as
any grown in this country.
and now is sufficiently plentiful
so that Russia is independent
Of outside sources. he declared.
In general. Soviet food pro-
duction now is sufficient to
feed the population although
there are temporary shortages
in certain products. largely
because of a poor distribution
system. he said.
There is plenty OF food. but
they are short Of steaks and

want" he said.
