Red Agriculture
In Deep Trouble
Student Claims

NEW YORK (UPI)-A student
of agriculture behind the Iron
Curtain reported today that
Communist leaders face severe
internal discomfort unless they
make a wholehearted effort to.
bolster crop production.
Richard Judy, a member of
the faculty Of the Air Force In
Stitute of Technology who stud
fed at Moscow University, says
in a report published by the
Foreign Policy Association
(FPA) that agriculture in Rus
STA and most of her satellites
and in Red China is in deep
trouble.
"a hungry population is a dis
contented population, and such
discomfort may generate politi-
cal opposition and even counter
revolution" Judy concludes.
He said three alternatives =
all of them painful ace the
leadership of Communist ma
tons:
They can require their pop
ulationS to tighten their belts
and get along with less food.
RuSSia'S satellites are increaS-
ingly reluctant to do this.
They can import more food
from abroad, becoming depend
ent on the West and yielding a
propaganda victory to capital
ism.
Or they can undertake sra
dical measures" to raise pro-
duction.
Judy studied at the Russian
Research Center of Harvard
University and Moscow Univer-
Sity'S Faculty of Economic and
Travelled extensively through the
Soviet Union and Eastern Eu-
rope. He taught at the Univer-
sity Of Colorado and Antioch
College in Ohio before joining
the Air Force faculty as his
tour Of military duty.

man left his little house for q
walk in the chilly morning air,
and the remaining goat, three
dogs and six cats tagged along
as usual.
But they did not return home
that day, nor that highland
the temperature lowered near
80 degrees.
Early Monday morning, An
geleS saw his newly acquired
goat trot off into the rugged
woodlands and decided to fol-
low him. AS the ranch hand
neared a dry creek bed, he
heard a chorus of barking dogs
and beating goats.
Angeles found the old man
sprawled in the creek bed at
the base of a 50-foot embank-
ment. The 10 pets were huddled
around his unconscious form,
sharing their body heat-and at
the same time protecting
.O'Brien from the chilly cold.
He was taken to HealdSburg
General Hospital for treatment
of minor injuries and exposure,
and hospital authorities said he
would be up and around in a
few days.
Sheriff'S Deputy Winfield F.
Thibodeau, who helped carry
O'Brien out of the wilderness,
said he heard the first words
the old man spoke after his or
deal:
sect some food for the dogs
and cats and goats"

Reuther Scores
ANA Resistance
To Health Plans

DETROIT, May IL (AP). -
JAW President Walter P.
Reuther delivered a blast at the
American Medical Association
last night. predicting Americans
will turn to governmental
health plans IF the ANA con-
tinues to resist the move toward
comprehensive medical care"
Mr.. Reuther addressed more
than 400 physicians and health
insurance officials from the
United States and Canada who
attended a banquet at the 18th
annual Group Health Institute
here.
Mr.. Reuther said the ANA
may make government health
care inevitable" if it continues
to hinder the progress" of
cooperative medical plans.
The labor leader charged that
when Blue Cross first came out,
the ANA tried to block every
inch of every step forward"
Blue Cross had the backing
of the UAW," Mr.. 'ther
said. Fifty per cent .. our
members were subscribers. But
we had to fight the ANA, which
put unbelievable pressure on
doctors not to join the pro-
gram"
Now" Mr.. Reuther said,
1.-The same people who fought
Blue Cross act as though they
originated the idea when we try
to move forward to better
things"
