Electric Rate Boost Lopped At Medicine Hat Protest Causes Mayor To Call Meeting To Restore Old Rate Herald MEDICINE Correspondentle boost of 11 to 16 per cent in electric effected for the great majority of Medicine Hat householders two months ago was knocked off by civic governors at a special session Friday afternoon.

This was accomplished by returning the schedule to the old class tariff, which is six cents per (kilowatt for the first 30; and 1.5 cents per kilowatt for all over 30. THE NEW schedule had been four cents per kilowatt for the first 30, three cents per kilowatt for the next 70. and 1.5 cents per kilowatt for the remainder. In the new schedule was a $1 minimum charge per month. compared with the old $1.80 charge.

The new charge will be held after May 1, thus giving a lower rate for those using less than 31 kilowatts per month. IT WAS BROUGHT out at the meeting that upwards of 90 per of householders use in the neighborhood of 90 to 100 kilowatts per month on the basis of a single dwelling. At the rate the bill would be $2.70 to $2.85." Under the new it is $3 to $3.30, representing an increase of from 30 to 45 cents, or 11 to 16 per cent. IT WAS this jump which aroused a storm of protest this week when bills were rendered. The matter was taken up at a union meeting Thursday night, and also was under discussion by civil service groups here Friday morning.

Protests were registered with Mayor Veiner, resulting in the calling of the special meeting. Provincial Obituaries REVELSTOKE MRS. GINA McCRAE, died in the Royal Inland Hospital. Kamloops, Mon- day at the age of 71. Born in Lillheo, Norway, she had lived in Revelstoke since 1908.

Luxuries Still Distant Mismanagement Key To Russian Failure By WILLIAM SEWARD American Newspaper YORK- Can the Soviet Union really deliver the goods it has so lavishly promised its 200,000,000 people? The odds, fixed by history ports, are stacked heavily A generation ago, 1 the a noose a constriction that prevented raw materials and finished goods from flowing smoothly tween mine and factory and consumer. The government's leaders complained angrily: the Russians were not good managers. TODAY, as the Soviet people are promised more radios, more cars, more luxuries, more food, the demand for business efficiency to handle the complexities of a consumer market grows more intense. Reports from the Soviet Union describe how more and more commodities have been crammed into the showplaces of Moscow. But behind these store windows filled with offerings to the Russian rich is the less heralded story that the Soviet leaders have failed to overcome their basic production drawback.

The noose of mismanagement still cuts the wind of the Russian economy, just as it did in the 1930's. Ironically, even the voices which raise the complaints have not changed. In 1938, Politburo Member V. M. Molotov scolded his people: We still suffer from much mismanagement, wasteful expenditures, abominably great waste of war materials, and squander much fuel and electric energy." MOLOTOV is now foreign minister-a key figure in the Kremlin.

And a few days ago the Kremlin's voice, the newspaper Pravda complained of "shortcomings in the management of enterprises and in the ministries, local party and government The newspaper added: "An end must definitely be put to the bureaucratic methods in management of enterprises. Officials from the ministries and departments concerned and the local party and government organizations must visit enterprises more frequently. They must listen more attentively to the demands and proposals of leading production workers." Unlike 1938, the year 1954 is supposed to see the Soviet citizen make great gains instead of subjecting himself to heavy sacrifices for his government. Indeed, Com-1 munist publications are filled these days with articles telling what the Soviet is doing for the consumer. Soviet Weekly, a Communist newspaper printed in London, concentrated on this theme in a recent! issue.

"Forty thousand stores and 11.000 restaurants, canteens. lunch rooms. cafes and other dining! establishments are opening in the USSR in the course of 1954-56. the newspaper asserted. "AND MORE than 500 new collective farm markets will be opening in the towns.

existing markets will be substantially enlarged. They will receive additional warehouses, refrigeration plants and meat and milk inspection centers. "Sums allocated for these purposes from the budget are nearly two and a half times more than last year, although a big expansion program was even then under way. The United Nations, in a recent economic survey, reported: "It clear that the Soviet government intends to step up the rate in con- To Contribute Mementoes Fort Macleod To Help Namesake Army Post Herald FORT MACLEOD- -The of Commerce is supporting its namesake Canadian army post in Germany in a drive to collect mementoes and souvenirs. The chamber recently was read a from Lt.

Col. S. C. Waters, commanding officer, 2 P.P.C.L.I., in which it was explained that the name Fort Macleod was selected by army headquarters on the advise of military historians as a name that should be perpetuated by the Canadian army. Col.

Waters promised to forward a picture of Fort Macleod in Germany soon. THE MEETING confirmed an order for one painting by Neil Boyle, and an appeal has been made to district residents to contribute mementoes, which would be a reminder of army personnel stationed at the post of associations connected with name the bears.

Russian economy was girdled by sumer goods production beyond rates previously known." What now arises as major question is whether the Soviet people, who have long endured a standard of living several below the American level, will at long last collect benefits from Communism. For at Communist least the rule. first years under the strength and energy of the workers were exploited to build up industrial production. PEASANTS resisting the collectivization of Soviet farms were shot or exiled. The Soviets indirectly admitted this recently when they blamed the shootings on Lavrenti Beria, the secret police chief who was executed last year.

Several factors may explain why the Soviet government has changed its attitude. It may be that the death of Premier Stalin has brought a true switch in Soviet policies. It may be concern for the morale of the Russian people. Perhaps the Russian rulers feel their military strength has reached a point where a certain amount of production may be diverted. Or the change may be mostly propaganda.

Soviet industralization was impeded by many factors. One of the chief bottlenecks was transportation, as manufacturing industries were developed at top speed while roads and railroads remained at the pre-Soviet level. NEXT WAS a shortage of skills. New factories were equipped with machinery and apparatus that the workers were not qualified to handle either by education or technical training. Gigantic plants were erected when there was no immediate need for their products.

An inordinate amount of the production was put back in long-term investments, producing harsh conditions for the people. was virtually ignored. The Soviet worker seldom has received a normal supply of goods -even those of which there was an abundance. Russia's own economic record shows. Store staffs have cared little about laying in supplies in time of plenty and have paid no more attention to protecting perishable commodities.

Trading organizations have paid little heed to special requirements of various regions and the seasonal demands of the market. THAT THE problem of distribution remains with the Soviet has been made evident by Communist newspapers. A few weeks ago, one report on Soviet development in 1953 said: "The trading organizations pay inadequate attention to the requirements of the population and commit errors in distributing and consigning goods. There are serious shortcomings in placing shops of the retail trade network. The trading organizations wage a poor struggle for quality of goods manufactured by industry for sale to the Even if an actual effort is now made to lift living standards toward that enjoyed by other nations.

Russia still is saddled with the key management problems that have been present since the Soviet system was introduced.
