Mr.. Khrushchev said II is
planned to increase the Soviet
Unions gross national product
five times during the coming
20 years. The industrial output
is planned to go up six times
and the agricultural output ga
times. iNine-tenths Of the in
crease IN national incomes viii
result from increases in labor
productivity, he said.
In a section OF his speech
which is likely to prove popular
with the Soviet people. the
Premier promised to shorten
the gap between heavy industry
and the production of consumer
goods. He said that from 1929
to 1910. the rate Of growth in
heavy industry exceeded the
rate of consumer production by
approximately 10 per cent. In
l96l-1980 the gap between
them will be approximately 20
per cent, he said.
BY 1880, he continued, "our
country will produce about so
per cent more power than is
at present produced in all the
countries of the world COM
bined.
I'm the coming 20 years we
are able to build l80 mighty
hydro-power stations. about
200 thermo-power houses. up
to 3 million kilowatts each, and
up to 260 big thermo-power
stations.
The iron and steel industry
is to have an annual capacity
of some $50 million tons of
steel. In nine years Soviet steel
production will exceed the pres
ent United States output by
about IS million tons" .
Mr.. Khrushchev said the
plan calls for building huge
fuel and power producing CEN
ters in Eastern Siberia and
Central Asia. BY 1880. he said,
| the Soviet Union would have
five major centers for produc-
ton of metals-the Urals. the
Ukraine, Siberia and the Far
East, Kazakhstan and in the
central part of European Rus
sia.
He called for powerful
expansion" of agricultural pro-
duction and said that by 1880
grain production is to be raised
to between 290 million and 306

To West German newspapers
the high spot of Mr.. Khru-

his announcement that he
would postpone signing an East
German peace treaty.

with his speech he reacti-
vated diplomatic activities be-
tween East and West" said the
Frankfurt Neue Presse. "A new

was expressly stated-doesn't
change a thing about that

In Paris, LIE Figaro said the
change in Mr.. Khrushchev's
tone will give, those people

toned:

yesterday, touched off a frantic

have been signal flares sent up
from a life raft. But the YES

also were lightning flashes in

The Jet bomber disappeared
Saturday after reporting from
a position $50 miles east of
New York. 1t was the only one
of 1880 allied aircraft failing
to return from Saturdays huge
