...economic balance sheet drawn up by the Committee began with the cheery news that in 1956 Russia had increased production of capital goods 11% and that of consumer goods 9%. "An idea of the scope of Soviet industrial production," crowed Pravda, "can be gained from the fact that by the end of 1956 the Soviet Union will have smelted 49 million tons of steel, mined about 430 million tons of coal, produced 84 million tons of oil, and generated 192 billion kw-h of electricity...
...Voices. It was hard to believe that in five days the 133 members of the Central Committee failed to take up such a pertinent topic as the spreading ferment of discontent in the universities. In Kiev and Azerbaijan, reported the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, students were in an "unhealthy state of mind," and at the Leningrad Technological Institute they indulged in "brash and demagogic remarks" that showed "an effort to ignore completely the undoubted gains of Soviet culture." In Moscow, where university students openly admitted listening to Western radio broadcasts, the youthful audience at a Lenin Library lecture walked...

Tito, in turn, indignantly blamed Hungary on Moscow's failure to purge all the old "Stalinists." But he was also careful to disown...
Last week Pravda answered Tito-in surprisingly moderate terms for an issue so grave: "The attempt at dividing the Communist Parties into Stalinist and non-Stalinist . . . can only cause harm to the Communist movement." This was a quarrel inside the Communist camp: Tito was not being expelled, nor was he asking to leave...
