Russia Takes Uranium From Satellites More Liberalism
Eastern Bloc Countries
Now Want Their Mineral Under National Control
By HUBERT HARRISON
Vienna, Apr. 8.
The Soviet Union has so far kept strict control over the exploitation of all uranium ores found on the territories of the countries of the Eastern bloc.
But recently, reports reaching here indicate, there have been frequent and increasingly open demands from these countries, especially in Poland and Hungary, for control of their own uranium supplies.

reports indicate the following position In the various member alves:

Seen In Czech Cultural Life
'By MICHAEL WEIGALL
Prague, Apr. 8..
A slow move towards liberalism away from strict adherence to "socialist_realism" is taking place in the cultural life of Czechoslovakia.
Former artistic and cultural taboos áre disappearing. There are signs that "socialist realism," introduced into the Soviet Union by Stalin and passed on later to her Communist allies, is losing its position as Czechoslovakia's exclusive cultural doctrine.
The change began in painting. who toe the party line and get Prague crowds were recently into endless tangles when two startled to ree pictures of nudes high officials express divergent In the windows of art galleries opinions about the same book. for the first time since 1948, For the first time, too, in 30 when the Communists took over years, theatre crowds have power, Official Communist pro- booed
