...Comrades," cried Khrushchev, "successes achieved in agriculture and good prospects for its development permit us to set and solve a task of great nationwide importance: within the next few years to catch up with the U.S. in per capita production of meat, milk and butter...
Last year, said Khrushchev, the Soviet Union produced 71 Ibs. of meat per capita as against 226 Ibs. in the U.S., 259 quarts of milk as against 362½ in the U.S., and 6 Ibs. of butter as against 8½ Ibs. in the U.S. "This year we will get as much butter and perhaps even more than the U.S. produced last year. We cannot only catch up with but even surpass the U.S. in milk as early as 1957. By 1961 we must be putting on the finishing touches to producing more meat than...
...have not yet taken up our ideology. I am not speaking of capitalists-it is impossible to re-educate them. The grave is the only cure for hunchbacks. This program is stronger than the H-bomb.

What worries the Pentagon is that in the horsepower race the rest of the industry seems to be fighting a losing competitive battle. General Electric, which claims to have delivered more jet engines than any other manufacturer, lost its bread-and-butter J47 engine contract with the end of B-47 medium-bomber production. To replace it, G.E. has a new J79 engine (about 15,000-lb. thrust) for Convair's supersonic B58 bomber and Lockheed's F-104A Starfighter. Yet the four-jet B58 Hustler is far from quantity production, and the F104 program may be slowed...
