Issuance of ration cards and long queues of housewives outside butcher shops in Eastern European Communist cities Sunday underscored growing reports of serious food shortages in Iron Curtain satellites Experts here said the main reason for the mounting agricultural troubles was the hast)' cdlectivir ation of farms by Communist au thorilies. The situation was report ed particularly acute in Hungary and Czechoslovakia where some 80 to 90 per cenl of farmers have been forced into collective farms. The Communist satellite countries were broadcasting appeals to old age pensioners and children to turn out and help farmers thai because" of a shortage of farmhands, "ihe corn crops are neglected, vineyards are threatened by weeds, and harvesting is behind schedule." There are signs of serious agricultural; a throughout Communisl Eastern Europe- Hot only in Czechoslovakia but in Hungary, Romania and especially in East Germany. Two developments last week pointed to the depth of the troubles. Czechoslovakia reported a major'cabinet reshuffle, which Eastern e.vpens here attributed directly to a food crisis.

And in East Germany, the Communist regime issued rationing cards for butter. East Germans, warned that no additional fooc 1 can imported, were asked to work non-stop during ihe daytime to tackle agricul'ural shortcomings. In all communist satellite countries there is a very serious shortage of fresh meat that no reg has been able 10 In Czechoslovakia, Communi: parly newspapers and have been openly criticizing these shoncomings for the past several months.

Afier nine days of Eichmann's direct testimony in his own defense. Israeli prosecutors are convinced the credibility of the former chief of the Gestapo's Jewish Affairs" Section has been shaken, sources close to the prosecution say.

Eichmann has pictured himself as a man powerless lo act on his own, who was hamslmng by orders both from above and by the conduct of Nazis below his rank in the field. He has rejecled the prosecution contention that he executed the Nazi "final solution to the Jewish problem" with enthusiasm and insisted his was only a minor role. Sources close to chief prosecutor Gideon Hausner believe Eichmann has opened himself to ridicule by ignoring documentary evidence that he was a man who wielded major influence in the anti-Jewish program. Eichmann, according to these sources, also has suffered by harping on his desire to put some "soil inder the of the Jews" with a plan to settle them on the island of Madagascar. "We have substantial evidence that the Nazis intended to bar Jews sealed on Madagascar from any relations wilh the outside world, and thought the climate: wtrnld wipe them out," said D.

The U.S. Army has i.inned bikinis ard shorts in the midst of a heat wave. The temperature hit 32 degrees Sunday. And housewives' temperatures rose too, some say they have no use for bikinis. t's the ban on shorts, even for sunbathing, that hurts.

Officers and men and civilian 'mployes, the order added, wil responsible for seeing that daughters and even German maids toe the line. And the rder applies to sunbathing, too.

"My said Juliet Henerson of Poplar Bluffs, Mo. First they tell us how much money to save, now they tell us i-hat to wear. I wouldn't wear a ikini myself, but shorts are a ght.

The most far-reaching and nios controversial of the six are th 52.55-billion general public schoo aid bill and the proposal to pro vide health care for the etderlj under Ihe Social Security system The Senate has passed th school bill and it has been ap proved by the House Education Committee. But it is still in the Rules Committee in a bitter snar involving aid to church school and other complicating factors.

The economy will be strong in the second half of 1961 but high unemployment will persist, experts predicted Sunday at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's business outlook conference. With an eye on the Berlin crisis Chamber President Richard Wagner warned that "the international political situation is not clearing up and could generate some hesitancy." However, in summing up the panelists views, Wagner said the economy was about to climb to "new high ground, with expansion broadly shared by all major sectors." The experts supported the Ken! nedy administration forecast Dial the Gross National Product the nation's total business activity -would climb' lo a record annual rale of $530 billion by December.

Several panelists ciled, and none disputed. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon's prediction of an 8 per cent leap in ID62 meaning a business boom. The panelists confined their forecasts to the last six months of 1961. They foresaw increased auto interest rates, a strong steel ou: put in October, November an December after the usual summe lull, continued but not sensaliona strength in construction and a ris in capital investment late in th year. Wagner said the 1050-61 recessioi was mild and largely confined ti inventory reduction.

He said i "would have been largely unno ticed" except for the rise in un employment "and the drastic de cline in profits." Although business is likely to continue lo expand "well into ne.x year or longer," Wagner said "unemployment remains a stubborn problem." He said it was compounded by the increase in the minimum wage higher payroll' taxes for Socia Securily and "upward adjustments of wage-fringe costs." Wagner, an oil refining execu tive, said some business "hesi fancy" stemmed from the coli war. He added that 'uncertainly over tax reform is delaying consider able new investment" in factories and machines, thereby holding back the business upturn.

In the first Soviet comment on the crisis the official Communisl party newspaper Pravda called Ihe troops landing "flagrantly aggressive" and blamed Britain for trying to stir up (rouble in Ihe Arab world.

But there was no indication whether Moscow considered Kuwait an independent stale or a part of Iraq.
