NEW GLORY FOR MOSCOW SOVIET’S TEN-YEAR PLAN “SOCIALIST SPLENDOUR” LESSON TO CAPITALISM By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rec. 10 p.m. London, July 12. The Soviet has adopted a 10-year plan for the reconstruction and enlargement of Moscow to twice its present size, says the Moscow correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. Dilapidated houses will be demolished and new structures erected, none of which must be of less than six storeys high. All the streets will be widened and asphalted. A great new Lenin’s Avenue will be cut through the centre of the city, whose boundaries will be extended by more than 70,000 acres. The famous Red Square will be doubled in size. Eleven new river bridges ..re to be built, and the erection of 530 schools, 17 hospitals and 50 new cinemas are included in the plan. . , The Izvestia says the plan is Russia s latest challenge to the Capitalist world, where such big-scale reconstruction is impossible. “The reconstructed Moscow will reflect the splendour of the Socialist existence,” the paper adds.
