REBUKE TO FARMERS
Khrushchev’s Hard Words (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, Dec. 17. Mr Khrushchev had given a severe rebuke to Russian farmers, the “Sunday Express” reported today. Speaking at an agricultural conference in Moscow, he told them that unless they produced more food they faced dire consequences—including expulsion from the Communist Party. He said that many Russian farmers and agricultural experts were clinging to outdated methods. “They are sunk in a bog.” he said. “We must drag them out and wash their ears." He urged farmers to “learn from the Americans in order to catch and surpass” them. The report said he attacked several leading Soviet agriculturists who were “causing harm to our State.’’ Accounts Frozen,—The Dominican Government yesterday ordered frozen all bank accounts of the Trujillo family in the Dominican Republic.—Santo Domingo, December 17.
