...first time it is being openly discussed in the Soviet Union. Kitchen Gardeners. Primed by a high postwar birth rate and changes in the Soviet economy, unemployment has become particularly bothersome in Lithuania, Moldavia, Byelorussia, Siberia and in the Central Asiatic Republics. Partly to blame is that old Western bugaboo, automation. When, for instance, Red planners automated the lime and asphalt plants of Leninsk in Tula province, they put half the region's unskilled laborers out of work.

We already have federal aid amounting to 4% of our school budget in California, and there's been no such attempt at control...
...Among them: agrarian reform, a complete income-tax overhaul, and a law revamping the banking system. The national budget has been cut by 30%. The cruzeiro currency, once skyrocketing toward its namesake Southern Cross, has started to level off, and the cost-of-living increase, Brazil's chronic bugaboo, has declined by 19% in the past year. The U.S. has put up $450 million in aid, while other lenders have chipped in another $300 million...
