Hardly a week passes with
out several letters in the So
Wet press from citizens de
handing" an end to shortages
or poor quality goods. There
have been reports Of boycotts
of stores which did not fea-
ture stylish items.
In addition, there have been
reports that last years poor
harvest - about the same as
this summers - led to open
protests in several parts Of the
countryside.
Enraged consumers argued
that a country which could af-
ford to send men into space
could afford to supply an
abundance of food.
The purchase of $500 million
worth of grain from Canadr.
indicates that some of these
arguments have worn off on
Mr.. Khrushchev.
A sharp debate apparently
has waged inside the Kremlin
for nearly a year on the allo-
cation Of resources, experts say.
During the winter months,
Mr.. Khrushchev indicated in
public speeches that although
he favored aiding the consum-
er, there were strong arguments
in favor Of continuing to pour
resources into the heavy in
dustrial-military spheres.
Return to Consumer Problems
But since last spring-and
the easing of East-West ten
sions-Mr. Khrushchev has re-
turned to the consumers prob
lem. He has indicated that he
plans to push ahead with plans
to create a modern chemical
industry, which would bring
plaStics and other consumer
items, in the face of widespread
opposition from conservatives
who see such a step slowing
down Soviet heavy industry.
In Yugoslavia. Mr.. Khru-
shchev said a chemical indus
try would allow an increase in
agricultural yields, through in
creased production Of ferti-
lizers.
Officials here report that
this has been a very bad year
for Soviet agriculture, mainly
because Of a late" spring and
a very dry summer, both Of
which had adverse effects on
grain-especially wheat grown
In Siberia and in the virgin
lands Of Kazakhstan.
The result Is that Soviet grain

The opening Of the new
College of the Virgin Islands
was hailed here last night as
a major step for the Carib-

The first freshman class has
been enrolled and a drive for
SIS million in building funds
now seems sure to reach its
goal, according to reports
from Ralph w. Paiewonsky,

StSr starr writer
Russia's purchase Of nearly
$500 million worth Of Canadian
grain apparently reflects a
Kremlin decision to give a high
priority to the needs of the
consumer.
1t indicates a break with past
Soviet policy that limited pur-
chases abroad to critical in
duStrial goods.
An announcement In Otta-
wa yesterday said that Canada
would ship nearly 200 million
bushels over a one-year period
to Russia and her allies-the
largest one-year sale of grain
ever consummated.
Unlike Red China, which has
bought Canadian grain to
stave off famine, Russia seems
to have made the purchases to
maintain a fairly high level of
consumption, to avoid the need
to impose rationing or to raise
priceS-obvious alternatives to
making outside purchases.
No Big Purchases Before
Despite bad harvests in pre-
vious years, Russian leaders
never bought substantial
amounts of grain on the world
market. Such expenditures
would have met strong opposi-
ton from those within the
Kremlin who argued that con-
sumner demands should be Sec
ondary to the industrial growth
Of the nation.
But in recent years, the So
Wet consumer has begun to
play a much larger role In the
making Of economic and DO
litical policy.
Unlike Stain, Premier Khru-
shchev has ruled more by con-
sent than by force. Thus, ever
since he took power, Mr.. Khru.
shchev has tended to gear his
policies to the public wherever
possible. often anperino covoa
OF his economic conservatives
at home who have urged con-
tinued emphasis on heavy in
dustry, even at the expense of
the consumer.
For his part, the consumer
has begun to assert himself
much more loudly In Russia,
encouraged by the Khrushchev
"pro-consumer" policies.

Damage is Minor
The authorities said damage
was minor, although consider
able loss to the pecan crop
appeared certain.
An estimated $4,000 persons
most of them in Cameron
Parish, La, fled ahead of the
storm, as a half million did
ahead of Hurricane Carla two
years ago this week. Carla
killed "a persons and caused
$500 million damage.
The Cameron evacuation was
snurred by memories Of Hur-
ricane Audrey in 1857 when
more than 500 persons died in
that low-lying section which
was battered by monumental
tides.
Civil defense authorities in

the only thing keeping residents
from returning home was lack
of inclination to fight winds
and rains.
- No Major Flooding
t'There is no major damage
or flooding Of homes anywhere
so far as we know" said civil
defense authorities. The Texas
Department Of Public Safety
said the same thing.
Deputy Sheriff Carl Reon
said at Cameron, La, that
cindy failed to bring as much
rain or as high tides as had
been expected. He said water
didn't get into Main street this
time-and two years ago, during
Carla, the street was navigable
by motorboat. But Deputy Reon
said he did not want refugees
to return to Cameron until Gin
dy had moved well inland.

formula yesterday-about a
teaspoon of artificial milk every
two hours-and were reported
to be assimilating it well.
At the same time, the babies
were given their full names

NUMISMATIC NOTES

to judge from the number
Of lobbyists in the model
railroad field, II still does.
Many early notes and bills,
whether issued by railroad
companies or not. had beauti-
full portraits of trains on
them. This was especially true
Of notes exchangeable for
train fare.
One Of the most interesting
Of the early railroad COM
panies was the South Caro-
lima Rail Road Co., now a
part Of the Southern Railway
system. II was the owner OF
the first two locomotives TO
be used in regular service in
the United States, and was
the first railroad 10 carry
United States mail.
The South Carolina APP
parently was not completely
sold on steam. since II
experimental with cars
equipped with sails and 9TH
ers with treadmills operated
by horses. More useful though
a trifle incendiary was It's
method OF lighting up the
track ahead by building a
fire on a sand-covered flat
car In front Of the locomotive.
The note illustrated. good
for one fare for 1875 miles,
was issued In 1873. Although
these bills we're fare tickets"
newspaper accounts OF the
day indicate that they were
readily accepted as money.
Some OF them have notations
showing they had been ac-
cepted by banks or mer-
chants. This one, engraved
and printed by the American
Bank Note Co, carries a
picture Of an old time loco
motive which is reminiscent
OF a currier and Ives print.
