Russia Seeks to Advance Industrial Output
London—(U.P.)—Russia is trying to catch up with the industrially- advanced western countries.
She is making a strong effort to establish automatic production methods in the Soviet industrial machine.
The Soviet planners are building push-button factories for basic industrial materials. They hope to reach during the next 10 years a level of production which will solve most of Russia's economic problems.
that is the conclusion of experts here after analyzing instructions to
State Farmer Income Rises
Kansas farmers received a record-breaking $222,265,000 from cash farm marketings during August, according to recent findings of the bureau of business research at the University.
This amount surpassed the previous record set in July, 1947 by nearly $3 million dollars.
The bureau said this was a 103 per cent increase from the total received by Kansas farmers in August 1951 and a gain of 10.3 per cent from the July high of $201,-522,000.
According to the bureau this would indicate that current income through August was 9.2 per cent higher than in the same months of 1947.
During the first eight months of this year cash farm income was $385,259,000, compared with the $820,087,000, previous high for the same months in 1947.
This income has not been distributed evenly among all farmers for those engaged in crop production have had a 116.1 per cent increase while farmers dealing in livestock products have found their incomes dropped 4 per cent below the same months of 1951.
The report stated that national increase in cash farm incomes fell short of the increases registered in Kansas.
'Brief Encounter' In Hoch Tonight
"brief Encounter," the fifth of the 1952-53 film series, will be shown at 7:30 tonight in Hoch auditorium.

the 1950-55 Soviet economic plan presented by the chief planner, M. Z. Saburov, to the 19th Communist Party congress. Other material also has been made available during the same period.
In his report to the party congress, Saburov said the output of electric power in the Soviet Union will increase by 80 per cent in 1955, compared to 1950. That, he said, "will permit us to raise the level of electrification of industry and to introduce an extensive automatization of production techniques."
Saburov said that during the present five-year plan "the methods of oil extraction will become, on the whole, automatic."
He called for greater mechanization of all stages of coal production and said "the building of precision machinery must undergo a serious further development."
Soviet technicians have installed
automatic serial production of certain automobile and tractor parts at the Stalin automobile works in Moscow and the tractor plant in Gorki. Aircraft plant No. 39 in Moscow is also producing aircraft parts in the same way.
The production of ball bearings, which are now being rapidly introduced on Soviet railways, has been "automated." However, the ball bearings until now appear to be "not quite satisfactory."
As for the growth of basic Soviet production, Secretary Georgi M. Malenkov and the planner, Saburov, this time made no secret about it.
Malenkov said that the Soviet Union will produce this year 25 million tons of pig iron, 35 million tons of steel, 27 million tons of rolled steel, 300 million tons of coal, 47 million tons of oil and 117 billion kilowatt hours of electricity.

'Social Drama' of Work Told To Sociology Group Here
Dr. Everett C. Hughes, chairman of the department of sociology at Chicago university, yesterday told of several aspects of what he called the "social drama" of work, in a visiting lecture before students and faculty of the department of sociology here.
By JIM BAIRD
In certain jobs, like that of a doctor, one person is doing routinely a job which resolves a crisis for another person, Dr. Hughes said. The doctor tries to make a smooth day's work out of other people's emergencies.
"Wherever you find people at work, you find an essential difference between those doing the work and the one receiving the services," the sociologists were told. "You expect a professional man to be vital interested in your ease of working." The competent and objective. Therein lies a dilemma.
Dr. Hughes dealt briefly with the hazards of professions, which he termed "occupational nightmares."
"There are some professors," he pointed out, "in which a man is successful if he does not do so but is unsuccessful or in instance, a successful engineer is someone who doesn't engineer any more. Instead, he's an executive."
"These people likely have nightmares about not being able to do the job from which they were promoted. There's the one about the big-shot engineer who, in front of all his subordinates, was handed a blueprint he couldn't read."
Dr. Hughes pointed out that mistakes bother the professional man first from a standpoint of his own conscience and also from the standpoint of what's going to happen to him if he does make a mistake.
"The lay public tends to be absolute in its judgments of professional mistakes," he said. For that reason professional people like to retain the right to say what is a mistake and what isn't. They realize that skill is relative.
For that reason, and also in order to have a medium in which to discuss professional problems frankly and safely, professional people develop vocabularies peculiar to their particular jobs.
"We live in a society in which people are judged very much by their work," he continued. "The worst thing you can say about anyone is that he's lazy."
"There are some persons who

work in a climate of relative isolation, but even a shepherd has some difficult decisions to make. Your actions on the job continually affect other people.
"Sociologists can do interesting work on the problems of work, and perhaps even better than interesting work on some," was Dr. Hughes' concluding remark.
