secret police chief of the central
Soviet state, the Russian Soviet
Federated Socialist Republic.
In 1925, at the time of the
struggle between Stain and
Trotsky for power, Petrovsky
was an alternate member of the
all-powerful Politburo. He was
one of the chairmen of the CEN
tral executive committee, which
was the presidium Of the Su-
preme Soviet in those days. At
the same time he was chairman
of the all-Ukrainian executive
committee-in effect. president
Of thine Ukraine Republic. He
held the job until 1888.
In 1898, with the blood purge
at its height, Pravda and lives
tia announced that Petrovsky
had been fired from his Ukraine
job. From that day until last
Thursday. not a word was heard
OF him.
Petrovsky may have been
among those freed by the am
nesty declared by the govern
ment of Premier Georgi M. Ma
lenkov shortly after it took over.
He also may be one of many
exiled by Stain who are now re-
turning. He was honored as an
"old Bolshevik," which in itself
is significant. since Stain all

Food Tested in Poisoning
Of 200 at School Banquet
BY tka ASSecioiOd Press

ANNISTON, Ala, May .. -
Medical authorities today began
tests in an attempt to find the
cause o fthe mass food poisoning
of about 200 students and teach
ers at q high-school banquet.

things"
DR.. O'Connell said he is ask

the probe.
THE acuteness Of it convinces
me it was a food poisoning" he
added.
None Of those, stricken was in

Hospital have been released
Many remained under treatment
at their homes.

Of Lenin. To him, the revolution
was a world movement in which
no permanent peace with cap
italism was possible. There would
be only strategic or tactical re-
treats. Under Stain. long periods
of truce were possible in his cau-
tious. long-drawn out struggle
for the pre-eminence Of Com
munism. Lenin looked to the
West for aid to Communism from
the international labor move
ment, thought in terms of the
revolution from below. Stain
thought in terms of the revolu-
ton from above, burgeoning out
from the USSR with the. aid of
the Soviet army, so that revolu-
tions were imposed upon coun-
tries such as Korea and those of
Eastern Europe.
The Soviet press now is stress
ing two things strongly: First,
the alleged growing conflicts"
among capitalist nations. par
ticularly with regard to eco
nomic developments: and second,
the indication that the "libera-
ton" movement in colonial and
backward countries will be given
active Soviet aid. Both stem
from Lenin.

A revolt against StaliniSm Is
gaining momentum daily in Mos
COW. But in the long run, it
bodies no good for the West.
An obscure. one-paragraph dis
patch from the Soviet capital,
fitted in with other puzzling de-
velopments, leaves little doubt
such a revolt is on. For the time
being, 1t would cause the leader
ship to move cautiously and play
for time. But If and when the
revolt is complete, it can mean a
sharp shift away from Stains
guarded iSolationism, ultimately
toward a more active Soviet role
in stimulating revolution abroad.
The revealing Moscow dis
patch brought the information
that the order of the Red ban
ner Of labor was awarded Gri-
gorii Ivanovich Petrovsky for his
services to the Soviet state"
There was little point to record
ing this bit of incidental intelli-
gence unless something lay be-
hind it. investigation showed
there was something there.
Petrovsky appears to have re-
turned from exile-an exile or
dered by Stain at the height of
the mighty purges of the 1930s.
Stain was establishing himself
then as supreme dictator.
Close Friend of Lenin.
Petrovsky was a close friend of
Lenin. a revolutionary long be-
fore the 1917 upheaval in which
Bolshevism seized power. He is

the revolt against Stain. It fits
in with other evidence.
/. The Soviet press, forcing
Russian literature and culture
upon the Is Republics outside
Russia proper. has listed Plekha-
nov's works among the new re-
quired reading. Plekhanov,
teacher Of Lenin and Marxist
philosopher. once was ridiculed
by Stain as an "old Bolshevik
who was remarkable only because
he was old"
2. The Communist party bible,
the magazine Kommunist, re-
Gently announced that the "res-
toration of the united world mar
ket" Is desirable.
Division of the world so half
its markets were cut off from the
West was q boast Of Stain, who
insisted it was deepening a cap
italist world crisis. However, it
had q damaging effect upon the
Communist world and the Kom-
munist item is an open admission
that what Stain accomplished
in this respect was wrong.
8. The return to Democratic
centralism" indicates a return to
the principles of Lenin. These
we're distorted or discarded by
Stain in his drive to build $50
cialism in one country" Demo-
cratic centralism in effect means
rule by a small elite, which
thrashes out problems by dis
cussion. adopts decisions and
then requires these decisions to
be followed implicitly thereafter.
Stain became the symbol of
one-man rule.
