other passengers left first. The
Rockefellers finally emerged at
10:17 am, Is minutes after
the landing.
The briae and bridegroom
then came Uut, Steven with his
arm around Anne Marie-a po-
Stiun in which it was kept
most of the time they were at
the airport. Everyone smiled
and the Governor waved as
photographers snapped pic
lures.
Excitement attending the
arrival eventually drew the at
tention Of several hundred per-
sons on airport observation
decks and inside the terminal
as the Rockefeller party strobe
through to customs offices.
Also in the group was Mrs.
Ann Pieron, sister of the BRIDE
groom.
Last nights takeoff from
Copenhagen was delayed al
most three hours by plane
trouble. The plane was called
back from the runway after the
pilot smelled smoke, caused by
a short circuit in the planes
electronic equipment.
The airport at Copenhagen
was almost deserted when the
group boarded the Scandina-
Wan Airlines plane. This was
in contrast to the crowds that
saw them off at Sogne. Norway,
where they boarded a plane for
Copenhagen.
Anne Marie was calm as she

KriStian Rasmussen. "adjoe"

silk suit, and her blond hair
was pulled back tightly in a
bun.

NIT other questions to the bride,
her husband said she would
rather not answer.
How about a family?" some
one inquired.
I'VE both like children, and
let's leave it at that" said
Steven.
The bride, the former Anne
Marie Rasmussen, blushed as
she did frequently during the
press conference.
Another blush came when her
father-in-law said:
II don't want to embarrass
Anne Marie, but I think she's
a wonderful young lady"
Someone mentioned that the
wedding reception in Norway
was held in a building known as
the white House" and asked
the Governor: "Is that an
omen?"j
Look" replied Gov. Rookie
Teller, 1--WE were up there on a
mission of love. And don't get
love mixed up with politics"
Steven was asked if he
planned to go into politics, too,
but answered that he had no
interests in such pursuits.
In response to other inquiries
he said he and his bride looked
forwar dto returning to Norway
for a visit some time, and that
it was hoped his wife's parents
could come here. On the latter
point the Governor added:
They've been invited"

party home came to halt at the

Crucial Issues
Block Accord
On Labor Bill

Senate-House Conferees held
exploratory discussions today on
the labor mo mans land" with
out making any concrete prog
ress toward a compromise on
this crucial issue of union re-
form legislation.
The conferees rejected two OF
three proposals to split the diff
ference between the Senate and
House bills in this area.
The Houses Landrum- Griffin
bill would allow State courts
and agencies to handle labor
cases rejected by the National
Labor Relations Board. The
Senate's Kennedy-Ervin bill
would let State agencies-but
not courts-handle such cases,
provided they applied Federal
law.
Under existing law. the
States are barred from dealing
with labor cases rejected by
the NLRB. These cases 'all
into the mo mans land"-or

Federal and state Govern
ments.
Senator Goldwater, Repub-
lican of Arizona. indicated
growing pessimism about pros
poets for achieving a compro-
mise between the Senate and
House bills on the mo mans
land" and on the other major
disputes concerning regulation
of secondary boycotts and Or
ganizational picketing.
He has said he will seek a
vote of the full Senate on
these issues If a deadlock de-
velops in conference.

Governor Interrupts Him
When Steven spoke of the
couples plans to disappear, the
Governor interrupted to tell the
newsmen: They're going to

There has been speculation

Dalai Lama Says Reds
Killed 10000 Tibetons

There has been no confirma-
ton Of earlier reports in Indian
newspapers that the Panchen
Lama is heading a new anti
Communist revolt in the Hima-
layan land.
Reports from the Indian
border town Of Kalimpong said
the Chinese have advised
Indians not to visit Tibet either
for a pilgrimage or trade pur-
poses.
The Communists repeatedly
sent a note to the Indian consul
general at Lhasa saying that
anyone visiting Tibet does so
at his own risk.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister
Jigme Dorji of Bhutan said in
an interview in Calcutta that
Peiping has blocked his little
Himalayan country's normal
trade with neighboring Tibet.
He said his government is turn
ing to India and the outside
world.
Asked about Peiping's recent
claims that Bhutan is part Of
Tibet, Mr.. Dorji declared:
IF they try to take over
Bhutan. we will stand and
fight. But who has the strength.
in this area, to oppose the
Chinese? We do not know who
would help U.S."
Mr.. Dorji came to India to
talk to Prime Minister Nehru
about the tightening Chinese
hold on Tibet.
Bhutan, an Indian protec-
torate 100 miles long and 90
miles wide, has an army of only
a few thousand and a popula-
ton of about 100000.

couldn't help but wonder If
this wasn't because collective
farm workers have more reason

their payment in kind can be.
Know Little of United States
Talking with Soviet farm
workers is an enlightening ex-
perience. On the average these
people have only the haziest
idea Of what life in the United
States is like. I doubt if many
Of them believed me when I
tried TO explain our agricul-
tural system.
Although the Soviet govern
ment has almost completely
guided the mind Of the average
Soviet citizen. it has created
its own problems by doing so.

I'VE are told that in youl

they are extremely short oil

know that If the armament
race could be stopped, or al
least slowed down, they would
benefit by an increase in con-
sumer goods.
This feeling was brought
sharply into focus by the direc.

cent visit to the Soviet Union.
There is a sharp difference in
organization.
Collective farms represent the
pooled holdings Of formerly in
dependent peasant farmers. On
a collective farm, the workers
elect q manager to supervise
the entire farm. Workers on
the collective receive part Of
their pay in money and part in
kind. Also. the collective farm
worker receives what is called
a household allotment.
The household allotment
ranges from about a half acre
to three acres. On this land the
worker can grow vegetables,
keep a COW or two, a SOW. goat,
anything he wants to raise. He
can either feed his family with
what he raises or he can sell
his produce in the city at the
farmers market and keep the
cash. There is still a little
"capitalistic incentive" in
Soviet agriculture.
ColIectives Decreasing
1t is estimated that the total
number Of collective farms has
decreased from more than $780,
600 at the beginning of 1850 to
10000 or 10000 today. The
average sown area, per collec-
tive increased accordingly. In
1856 1t was about 4,500 acres.
Today. the average collective
is more than 31a times its pre-
war size. The Soviets still ap-
pear to associate bigness with
increased production.
The state farm system has
expanded remarkably in the
past few years. State farms
differ from collectives in that
they are owned by the state.
The director of the farm is a
state appointee. The workers
receive regular wages and have
no other source of income.
This, Of course, would ap-
pear to be the reason why the
state farm idea is the popular
one today in official circles.
1t gives the government COM
plete control over the entire
agricultural organization.
State farms repeatedly con-
tanned about 10 per cent Of
the total sown acreage in the
Soviet Union in 1852. In 1857,
they contained about IS per
cent Of the sown acreage and
had increased in number from
4,740 to almost 5000. The
Evening star., 1959-12-09
average size Of a state farm
is about 10000 acres.
Living Conditions Low

is about 10000 acres.
Living Conditions Low
Although there is a definite
difference in the organizational
setup between the state and
collective farms, the farms
themselves look the same. Liv-
ing conditions, by American
standards, are pathetically low
A three-room house will
shelter four, five, or even six
people. Plumbing frequently
consists of merely a cold-water
faucet; more often there is
none at all. Many of these
houses have electricity, which
is used strictly for lighting
since electrical appliances are
high priced and hard to get.
Each farm, however, has a
palace Of culture" or meeting
house. Here the workers are
presented lectures. movies, or
radio programs-all govern
ment controlled. This is the
sum total of leisure-time activ-
ity available to Soviet farm
workers.
I found the people on both
