Malenkov has lot of assets behind his

They were born in the same state,
Georgia, Malenkov of a higher-class
family than that of his boss, but their
history is purposely obscured in all
records, possibly because they were too
respectfully bourgeois.
His cheek-to-cheek friendship with
the big chief was sown from 1925 to 1890
when he was Stalin's secretary.
At this stage of his career, he married
one of Molotov's secretaries whom he
later divorced to wed handsome actress
Elena Kruschev.
This present Mrs. Malenkov soon
afterward abandoned her glamor career
and now, in somber mannish suits, is

lowed to end the present 5-to-1 trade imbalance,
the free world will have to reckon with the real
danger of deep and perhaps disastrous fssure
between the economies of Europe and America" !"
And fssure of that sort, of course, could hardly
fail to weaken the defense effort of the NATO
alliance and thus play into the hands of the
implacable aggression-bent men of the Kremlin.
But this danger is far from being too big
to be headed of and removed entirely. Mr.
Draper for his own part, is confident that it can
and will be removed If the NATO nations continue
to display the same cooperation, good will and
understanding with which they have overcome
all obstacles thus far. His faith in that respect
seems very well founded.

Our union has eliminated these evils.

improved sick benefit and pension plan,
severance pay for those laid off, longer

1t cost our union a lot to establish

Another Mess

once again congressional committee-this
time the House group headed by Democratic
Representative league of Texas-has turned the
spotlight on mess" in Washington It is a
mess which differs from, but is not unlike, the
mess that Governor Stevenson says he is
equipped to clean up, and which President Tru-
man says does not exist.
This time it is the Veterans Administration
that is under fire. The league committee says
that the veterans housing program has been
scandalously miShandled by the Veterans Ad-
ministration. In some places, though not in
Washington, corruption is charged. Locally, the
baSlc complaints are that appraiSalS were un-
9uStflably raised, that sloppy inspections re-
suited IN faulty construction being palmed off
on veterans that these derelictions have caused
an initiation of from 10 to Is percent in real
estate values in the Washington area and
that, generally, the Veterans Administration has
operated to serve the interests of the building
industry rather than the interests of the veteran
home e-purchaSers.
There seems to be substantial basis for most
If not all of the specific charges made by the
committee. It's conclusions, however are another
matter 1t is stated as conclusion for instance,
that the VA loan guaranty officials in this office
conceived the program to be builders program
rather than veterans program, and operated
on the assumption that the builder must be
pacified at all costs :" That has the ring
of political generality-a generality that is
difficult to reconcile with the fact that the
league committee despite diligent search, found
no evidence of even petty graft in this area.
1t is possible, of course, that VA officials did
deliberately betray the veterans for the benefit
of the builders without receiving dollar of
graft. But if that happened it is contrary to
all of the lessons and teachings of human ex-
perience.
Still, the fact remains that the committee
has made specific and serious charges against
the VA, and no satisfactory answer or explana-
tion was given by any administration official
during the hearings. The league committee has
made certain recommendations for corrective ac-
tion which, if adopted, should help. There is
reasonable ground to suspect however, that the
VA mess is merely a. part of the larger mess
in Washington, and that the only real remedy
lies in drastic, complete and relentless house.

Conserving Political Strength

The prospect of General Eisenhower carrying
some of the normally Democratic Southern States
depends very largely upon an understanding
among his supporters of baloting technicalties.
BY provision of the Constitution, the voters
in each State will be choosing on November
between states of electors. Some states will be
under the name of Democratic Candidate Ste
venson; others will be under the name Of Repub-
lican Candidate Eisenhower. In some States there
may be two or more states, different candidates
for electors under one both of the presidential
candidates names. If and when this happens,
the votes for each slate appearing under one
candidates name are not added to give that
candidate a cumulative figure. Actually, the
candidates strength is divided by having more
than one slate of electors under his name.
The problem is real one in Southern States
where support for General Eisenhower is believed
strong but where the old prejudice against voting
for a Republican ticket even OF presidential
electors, is deeply held. To avoid a splitting of
Eisenhower strength, however, the only alterna-
tives are ID to vote Republican or co to enter
under some other party label the same slate of
o-Eisenhower electors.
General EiSenhowerS chances in Virginia
have been improved by an understanding and
acceptance of this situation. The Virginia Demo-
Gratis for Eisenhower, recently formed group,
considered the idea OF presenting Its own slate
of electors in support of the general. According
to Mills F. Neal, member of the groups steering
committee, that plan has been abandoned and
the present intention is to try to coordinate all
groups under Democratic leadership who are
favoring the generals candidacy-to support
Eisenhower and still feel at home under the
Democratic banner" On election day this strength
is to be added to the outright Republican strength
in voting for the single slate Of Eisenhower elec-
tors already designated by the State G. o. P.
convention. st
BY contrast to this proposed strategy, the
194S anti-Truman vote In Virginia was split
between the Republican and States Rights Par
ties. The result was that the States electoral
votes went to the Democratic ticket even though
it polled less than 50 pr cent Of the popular vote.

Candid View Of Stains Heir-Apporent

OF the central apparatus of the Com
munist Party. Malenkov snooped.
Purges from his shopping expanded
his influence, and in 1948, after the
death of Stalin's first deputy, Andrei
Zhdanov, the nucleus of Zhdanov's
proteges were liquidated to Malenkov's
advantage.
In these practices he had the price
less aid of Lavrenti P. Beria, now chief
of the dreaded MVD, secret police and
uniformed troopers whose iron hand
quells the nation.
In his Office under the onion shaped
dornes and spires of the Kremlin, Malen-
kov probably will install during the
composition of his coming speech the
camp bed he used in the war years while
working prodigiously to build Russia's
warplane production by 1943 to 10000 a
year.
BY his inexhaustible capacity for work
he proves himself the practical, rather
than the dreamy, ideologist. His title of
hero of socialist labor was won on merit.
Among his terrifying array of duties
is the selection of the Soviet Unions
diplomatic representation overseas.
Though he never has travelled outside
Russia's satellite orbit, he slides F'ussias
ambassadors skilfully over the worlds
map.
His reaction toward the West is one of
merciless hate. but he has surprising
patience.
Perhaps the most important effect of
the changes is that in the new order
knitting the Politburo and the Orgburo,
the man chosen to deliver the prime
speech next month remains in charge of
appointments of all major party officials
and can control the placing of his sup
porters in key posts. Stain took that
road to the top.
Highly effective administrator Malen-
kov, who has monotonously urged "don't
get into a rut," is renowned for his gift
of choosing the right man for the right
job.
His plans seem to have progressed for
his choice of Stalin'S successor. It could
be very personal choice and would GER
tainly get him out of rut.

You May See Baseball on TV
With a New Finance Plan
By Horry Macarthur

That announcement that there
would be no television of the
Mats home games next year came
as something of a shock to WTTG
and to arm chair baseball fans.
1t couldn't have been a surprise,
however. to the autumn user of
Griffith Stadium. Redskins Boss
George Marshall.
For some time, he and others
in the National Pro Football
League have felt that it isn't good
business to televise home games.
Nobody can prove a thing in this
argument, however. Or rather,
anybody can find some backing
to prove what he wants to prove.
Clark Griffith, no doubt, could
produce figures demonstrating
that televising home games is i'm
mediately responsible for an all
ing box Office. Some one else
can produce a set of figures show
ing definitely that baseball teams
which have curtailed or dropped
television have suffered directly
thereby.
You can get involved in some
fine debates on this subject.
Maybe Mats attendance has been
off. But is the drop more or less
than the fee paid for TV rights?
And can TV be blamed for keep
ing droves of fans away from the
ball park when it is raining at 8
o'clock and threatens to keep it
up spasmodically all night?
There were times, all right,
this summer when it did seem
as if those WTTG cameras were
pointed at men rolling out a
tarpaulin more often than at men
playing baseball.
There now are two possibilities
for next season. One, no games
televised, or, two, out-of- town
games televised. The possibility
that Mr.. Griffith might change
his mind doesn't figure seriously
in the planning.
What does figure is a readjust-
ment Of the monetary arrange
ments. What with line charges,
transportation of personnel, ETC.,
televising Mats road games would
be considerably more expensive
than televising home games. The
WTTG management can be ex-
pected to propose that Griffith
