...Despite concessions to the workers, labor productivity is "insufficient," said the Soviet's Master Planner, Maxim Saburov, at the 37th anniversary of the October Revolution. "Many works and factories are not working rhythmically." Absenteeism runs as high as 25%. The remedy: "The further tightening up of labor discipline...
Elemental Conspiracy. Some candidates have come up with the wrong answers-and are now in trouble. Ohio's Republican Representative Paul Schenck burned with righteous-and, he thought, politically profitable-indignation when his home town was insulted by a federal planner who said Dayton's slums were the worst on the U.S. mainland. Schenck demanded that the man be fired; then he got back home to learn that thousands of Daytonians agreed with the planner.

...policy run so broad and so deep. The fall publishing season has brought a batch of foreign-policy books, including four by authors with topnotch reputations: George F. Kennan, onetime (1947-50) director of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff; Charles Burton Marshall, a top State Department planner under Dean Acheson; F.S.C.

...efficiently. New York City alone has lost 500,000 upper-and middle-income-bracket families to the suburbs since 1943; those who remain are poorer, less able to pay taxes for expensive city services. Lower tax returns, in turn, mean more crowding and more slums. Says Detroit City Planner Paul Reid: "Newcomers, for the most part, are in the lower economic level. As they settle in the city, others who have attained medium or high wage levels move out." Furthermore, those moving to the suburbs are often among the most civic-minded citizens; thus the cities lose leadership as well...
