The symbolic Indian mythol- ogy paintings impressed Mr. Grosart, an art collector, and so did the letters Mr. Morri- seau wrote.

The Communist planners con. cluded the only way to fight --quite apart from sealing the frontier--was to bring industry to the area. This they did with great deter- mination. Where once there was one hydro-electric dam in the region there now are five. New ' ventures included steel mills / and factories making goods in- 4 cluding radio and television ! sets, telephones, machine tools, scooters and ball bearings. Collective farms were devel- oped and a rural electrification program spread power to every village. New apartments, schools and hospitals were ; built. "Before the wer #e produced more priests than engineers in Czechoslovakia," the planner said. "That has changed." The reorieptation following the Communist take-over in| 1948 was an important factor in working out development plans. "Our geographical position helped us in Slovakia," the planner said. "We are on the route which most of our foreign trade follows--toward the Soviet Union and the other socialist countries."

Speculation by Western ob- servers that se ist .tenden. cies had developed followed a speech by Karold Bacilek, first secretary of the Slovak Commu- nist party. He claimed that vestiges of "bourgeois nationalism," "revi- sionism," and even "clerical fascism'"' of the type responsible for the establishment of the sep- rate state during the war had infiltrated many parts of Slovak national life. This Western view was that Bacilek's uninhibited condemn- ation indicated that rapid eco- nomic development together with a reaction against Commu- nist control has given traditional nationalism a modern and more powerful base. In reply to questions about this, one Communist retorted: "You have only to compare what we had before with what we now have to see the false- ness of the claim."

Crump, CPR president, said the new firm "'has been in- corporated to carry on the busi- ness of an investment and hold- ing company.
