...Cosmonaut will feel even worse served when she tries to find a bra, an enameled teapot or a new coat. Soviet-made clothing is ill-fitting, poorly made, and fashioned from generally inferior fabric. There is a shortage of meat grinders because the planners cut back output too drastically after production one year slightly exceeded demand. Enamel kitchenware is almost unavailable. Reason: the output of enamelware plants is measured by weight, so the factories meet their quotas by manufacturing a few heavy bathtubs rather than many small kitchen items...
EAST GERMANY: For the past seven years, Walter Ulbricht's fiefdom has been the East bloc's star performer, running up statistics that many capitalist countries would envy. From 1966 to 1970, foreign trade increased 60%; industrial output rose 37%, making East Germany the ninth greatest industrial power; and the national income gained 29% to reach $29.5 billion. The East German regime is all the more proud of this achievement because it was accomplished without granting an ounce more political freedom to the people, defying the generally accepted thesis that economic reform inevitably reduces political control. The East...
...essence, the East German reform has consisted of regrouping factories into large combines, which have been largely freed from strict central planning. Managers are given bonuses for increased productivity. The historical Communist stress on quantity of output has been changed to quality, and in some instances the most modern forms of computer control and systems analysis have been instituted. The Soviets have been so impressed with the East German model that they have sent experts to study it and have invited East Germans to the Soviet Union as instructors. But the Soviets may soon have to look elsewhere. During...
...Bucks. When the two teams met for the first time this season, Milwaukee was riding a 16-game winning streak. But that was the end of it. The New Yorkers held the league's highest-scoring team to eleven points in the final quarter, their lowest output ever. In their last meeting, the Knicks outscored the Bucks 22-10 in the final eight minutes to win going away. That gave the Knicks four victories over the Bucks in five games this season, and eleven of 15 in the past two years...
...subsidized for years to come; meanwhile, the number of federally aided houses grows greatly every year. By 1978, the Government expects that total subsidies for housing will increase by more than 500% to some $6 billion annually. Moreover, by adding half a million subsidized units a year to housing output when skyscraping construction costs are already a source of worry to inflation fighters, the Government itself has become a major contributor to the pressures that push up costs. In the well-intentioned process of making homes cheaper to rent or buy, Washington is driving up the price of housing...
