Krushchev Insists on Sweeping Decentralization of Red Economy; Ike Will Carry Appeal to Nation

MOSCOW, May 7--Nikita Khrushchev lashed out at Soviet bureaucracy today in asking the Supreme Soviet to approve his plan to "transfer the center of gravity" of the Soviet economy. "There are entirely too many supervisors employed by every factory," the Communist party chief declared.

"Our job is to encourage the quality of production to the point where a worker does not have to have a supervisor standing behind him checking his work" He estimated the bureaucrats at 850,000 and promised a reduction.

The Supreme Soviet is certain to approve Krushchev's economic plan, which calls for 20 large industrial ministries in Moscow to be abolished, with their economic enterprises transferred to 92 new regional economic councils scattered throughout the Soviet Union.

Ike to Appeal to Nation

Press Secretary James C. Hagerty revealed this today but said the President hasn't decided yet just when and how to present a public brief for his embattled budget, the foreign aid program and other items facing critical scrutiny from the legislators.

Hagerty had said a week ago that Eisenhower was considering a direct appeal now having some rough going in Congress, to the people and indicated then that it would take the form of a radio-television address.
