Soviet Farley Confuses Experts
Yet All Agree Communist Rule Has Undergone Great Chonge
Stain Role Repressed Conflict Between Party and State

For any one not thoroughly
familiar with the Soviet v1cab-
ulary. code language designed
to cover more than it reveals,
it is practically impossible cor
rectly to analyze what has
really happened at the 10Th
all-union party congress Of the
Soviet Union.
Even experts, whose atten-
tion has been devoted for years
to the U. S. S. r., and who read
Russian, have come to different
conclusions.
All agree, however, that this
congress of the Soviet Commu-
mist Party. the first to be held
in 13 years. marks a turning
point in Soviet history. All
agree that the function of the
Soviet Communist Party has
undergone a great change.
Waldemar Jollos. Russian ex-
pert on the staff Of the Swiss
Review of World Affairs, specu-
lates that it means a relaxation
of party dictatorship and great
er party democracy.
But Boris I. Nocolaevsky, writ
ing in the October 6 issue of
the New Leader, is clearer, as
serting that the Communist
Party has been stripped of it's
role as boss Of the Soviet state.
Henceforth the apparatus of the
state, not the party, will be
supreme. This, according to Mr..
Nocolaevsky, will not mean re-
taxation of dictatorship, but
will dissolve even such opposi-
ton as existed through differ
ences within the party itself.
If the party is to show more
consideration to the rank and
file, it is only because the party
has been denoted from boss to
servant.

When the Governor speaks Of
"intellectuals" becoming en-
tangled in communism and
gives the reasons. it is an odd
coincidence that his researchers
gave him almost the very same
language as was used by Lee
Pressman, general counsel of
the CIO and a confessed Com
munist, in his testimony before
the House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee on August %,
1850, when he said:
I'm the early 1930's, Mr.
Chairman. as you may we'll
recall, as well as other members
OF this committee, there was a
very severe depression in our
country. The future looked black
for my generation just emerging
from school. At the same time,
the growing specter of nazism
in Germany presented to my
mind an equally grave threat.
In my desire to see the destruc-
ton of Hitlerism and an i'm
provement in economic condi-
tions here at home, I joined the
Communist group in Washing
ton about 1884"
1t was testified by two wit
nesses before Congressional
committees that Alger Hiss was
a member of this same group"
Mr.. PreSSman says he left the
group" a year later and dis
continued any further partici-
patton in the group from that
date till the present." But on
further questioning, he con-
ceded that it did not mean he
had severed all connections with
the Communist Party. His 1850
testimony continued:
"Mr. Pressman: Over the past
number of years have had
contacts and dealings with
known leaders of the Com
munist Party whom I have met
from time to time.
"Mr. Tavenner (counseD:
And what was the nature of
those contracts which you have
mentioned?

There is plenty of honest
conservative sentiment in the
South. It probably would not
have been possible to canalize

without Mr.. Truman as a
symbol and scapegoat.

slogan here, seems to mean vir-
tually everything the user of it

Eisenhower Is regarded as mot
a politician" and his rather
deep bows to political expedi-
ency do not appear to have al
tered that impression. He is q
general and the South is more
martial in spirit than the rest
Of the country.
He has been so recently a
Republican he escapes being
saddled with Republicanism. His
crowds attest that here, as else
where. they like his personality.
In their first flush of enthu-
siasm over their new-found
respectability, Eisenhower sup
porters are making a fabulous
din. To oppose it, Democrats
have ancient party loyalty, and
seeded old hands like Speaker
Rayburn are cultivating this
with all their practiced skill.

social and economic changes
which the Roosevelt revolution
brought about below the Mason
and Dixon line. It is an over
simplification, but, still, roughly
true to say that the South is now
industrialized enough and rich
enough to afford, even demand,
expression of the Republican
philosophy of Government.
In the personalities of Harry
S. Truman and Dwight D.
Eisenhower, aggressive Southern
Republicans found the catalysts
they needed to transform the
1852 mixture into political
dynamite. The prospect of a
winner brought them lush H.
nancing from oil and other big
business interests.
For many reasons it has not
been hard to transform Mr..
Truman into a villain down
South. He is pro-1abor and the
C1O is unpopular. He is a Mis-
sourian who loves to talk about
his Confederate ancestors, but
he sent Congress a message de-
manding FEPC and the end of
segregation. Such behavior by
Yankee is unfortunate, but
tolerable; from Mr.. Truman it
was deemed hypocrisy. He
played into the hands of his
enemies when he was not de-
clsive on corruption in his
official family.

BONN, Germany CBy MaiD.-
Talk can be heard currently in
European diplomatic circles in
Bonn that "the Germans are
looking for a leader and then
they will turn loose either to-
ward the West or the East,
whichever is more convenient"
The implication is that the
Germans are looking for anoth-
er Hitler and America is unwit-
tingly helping them. as after
the first World War, to get mill
tarily on their feet again.
Our people here, even those
who harbor a strong anti-Ger-
man feeling, scof at this. Not
only have the Germans re-
ceived q lasting lesson, but con-
ditions don't lend themselves
to the development of "anoth-
er Hitler" or q Hitler mass
psychology"
It is difficult to estimate how
many years of relative priva-
tions and hard work on the
part of the Germans will be re-
quired before they can straight
en- out the physical devasta-
ton of the last war. Along the
Rhine as we'll as further inland
there are only a very few cities
or towns which are not still
a shambles. Much work al
ready has been done - some
100000 housing units have
been built in the last four years
but much more is still to be
done.
Bonn, the capital of the
Federal Republic. still looks as
if it has just been visited by a
150-mile-an-hour hurricane.
The same conditions exist
in Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frank
furt, Berlin and other cities.
Churches, universities, palaces
and other cultural monuments
which withstood wars, inva-
Sions and depredations for five
or six centuries are now mere
shells. Some are entirely be-
yond repair. 1t iS true that in
dustry and commerce are -four
ishing once more; it is equally
true that the German people
are active and hard-working.
They live again after q long
nightmare, brought on by one
man and his clique. Hitler and
his henchmen. And they are
not likely to forget their folly
for generations to come.
The nationalist feeling which

Communist Party, have been IL
quidated.
The Swiss observer, seeing
Malenkov as director of the
party machine, imagines his de-
cline. Not so Mr.. Nicolaevsky.
Malenkov has thrown his party
overheard in favor of the state
apparatus.
He has been a principal propa-
gandist of the glorification Of
the state and the subordination
of the party. The prime
moving force in the postwar
struggle with Zhadanov, who
attempted to preserve the role
of Politburo and party"
Thus the Bolshevist revolu-
tion of Lenin has been dissolved
in favor of the super-state Of
Stain, to be confirmed in the
coming Malenkov era. Soviet
Communism clearly becomes an
export article for the subver-
sion of other states.
Never has the position OF
non-Russian Communists and
fellow travellers been made so
untenable - for anyone not
totally blind. They are not van
guards and directors of an in
ternational revolutionary move

perial totalitarian power.

Growing Responsibility Of Dixie Vote for G. O. P Ticket
Considered Very Oninous for Democrats

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 14.-Vot-
ing for the Republican candi-
date for President in the Solid
South Is both respectable and
practical this year.
This is something new, and it
is very ominous for the Demo-
Gratis.
Herbert Hoover crashed the
South in 1928, but his hand
maiden was bigotry; many
Southerners would not vote for
Al Smith. the Roman Catholic.
Almost at once the South pre-
ferred to forget it; in fact,
nearly all the prominent boilers
were rather speedily retired

bite out of President Truman.
But they were mostly the "outs,"
men known to be bitter and
reactionary. though this was
not true Of their presidential
candidate, Ex-Governor Thur
mond of South Carolina. Their
financial backing was in some
places suspect. Thus, despite
their successes, they could not
get up a going concern and were
moribund virtually when this
years pre-convention campaign
got started.

Germans consider as more dan

erected only by whole-hearted
cooperation between all the

threatened. The danger can be
averted only by pooling of all

if the leadership of the Politburo
