Signs Suggest Army Will Win
Power in New Soviet UpheovoI

cation. II this had not been done,
Marshal Vasilevsky and the other
army figures would have been
made into public heroes.
Zhukov's Power Mounts.
Marshal Vasilevsky's absence
from the July Is meeting of min
istry of defense Communists may
mean that he has been pushed
aside as a danger to the ruling
power of the party. If this was
done, it had to be with the aid
and consent of Marshals Zhukov
and Bulganin. The development
seems to place Marshal zhukov
in a most powerful position.
The situation now begins to
look like a combination of the
old Russian Army imperialism
and Communist eXpansionism,
one dependent on the other.
This would mean that Premier
Georgi M. Malenkov, up to now
the apparent victor in the
Kremlin power struggle, is in
danger of being eclipsed and
pushed aside by the Army
Communists. But it would also
mean that the Army Communists
would continue to use the world
Communist movement as an in
Strument of Soviet power. Thus,
there is no contradiction between
the shifting leadership in Mos
COW and the apparently con-
tinuous line Of external policy
and strategy.
The language of an article in
the July 18 edition of Pravda,
official Soviet Communist Party
newspaper, suggests a desperate
attempt to hold party ranks
abroad intact in the wake of the
Beria purge.
Beria May be Dead.
Beria may be dead. Whether
he is or not, his elimination was
strong medicine for Communists
abroad to swallow, particularly
in view of the power he eXer-
cised through an international
network of police. The power
| struggle seems to be shaking the
foundations of the Communist
empire and emboldening elements
which-especially in Asia-might
want to break away from the
domination Of the Great Rus
slams.
The July 18 article tells of ar
rests of bands of plotterS and
diversionists" in every Commu-
mist country. The words are sim
liar to those used in denuncia-
tions of Beria. The article, en-
titled Concerning Capitalist En-
circlement" was written by a man
named Kharlamov. who appears

Information from informed
sources abroad, plus indications
in the Soviet press, suggest an
other dramatic upheaval in the
offing for Moscow which may
place the Soviet military in
power in an alliance with the
dominant wing of the Soviet
Communist Party. Marshal
Georgi K. zhukov is the man to
watch.
At the same time the Moscow
Communists, fearful of losing
their grip on followers outside
the U. S. S. r., appear to be
pushing a purge through all the
European satellite countries and
attempting to inspire a similar
purge in Red China. Such a
course could bring about a clash
with the Peiping Communists.
The ruling group in Moscow
appears to have allied itself with
the Army Communists" to con-
solidate it's power in the wake of
the purge of Laurenti P. Beria,
former interior minister and Sc
cret police boss. The star of
Marshal Zhukov. up to now re-
garded as a party general, is
definitely on the rise. He may
yet turn out to be the Red Ma
poleon OF the Russian revolu-
ton.
Led Pledge of Generals.
Marshal zhukov, as chronicled
in Pravda July 16, led group
Of Soviet marshals and generals
if1@ swearing the army to serve
as the true and faithful support
of the Central Committee of the
party" But in the list of gen.
erals who took this pledge there
are some glaring omissions, the
most notable being Marshal A.
M. Vasilevsky. He ranks with
AAoI 01LcIA 0IIuAOt do q OCROIJ
minister under the political mar
shall, Nikolai A. Bulganin, who is
minister of defense.
A former Czarist officer whose
background is far from prole-
tartan, Marshal VaSilevsky thus
is not publicly committed to serve
the party faithful. Nor are a
large number of other prominent
military men, including the re-
ioubtable Marshal Ivan S. Konev.
Does this suggest two factions
within the army? The names of
Vasilevsky and Konev figured in
the fantastic doctors plot. They
allegedly had been marked for
death. The, interior ministry

tion-declared the plot a fabri-

This is the tert of President
EisenltolCer's letter, dated July
%, to Chancellor AdeRGuer of
the West German Republic:
My dear Mr.. Chancellor:
During the development Of
the conversations between the
United States Secretary of
State and the Foreign Minis
tiers of Great Britain and
France, it occurred to me that
it might be helpful if / were to
write you a letter in amplifica-
ton of the thoughts so tightly
compressed in the final COM
munique.
1t seems to me that certain
definite patterns are emerging
from the situation in East Ger
many and the Eastern Europ-
can satellite countries - pat
terms which will unquestion-
ably have a profound effect
upon the future, including the
proposed meeting Of the For
eign Ministers Of the -Four
Powers.
I think, therefore, that it will
be useful for me to share my
thoughts with you in some de-
tail at this time.
Great historical develop
mentS, such as the recent Ber-
lin and East German anti
C o m m u mist demonstrations,
rarely have single roots. Never
theless, I am quite certain that
future historians, in their anal
ysiS of the causes which will
have brought about the disin-
tegration of the Communist
Empire, will single out those
brave East Germans who dared
to rise against the cannonS Of
tyranny with nothing but their
bare hands and their stout
hearts, as a root cause. I think
also that those same historians
will record your own extraor-
dinary steadfastness in the
cause of European peace and
freedom over many, many
years.

Free Elections Seen

1t has always seemed to
me-and these recent events,
to me at least, clearly confirm
the thought-that there can
be no solution without free

From that point on can flow

Eisenhower's Letter
Blasted by Socialists
AZ the Associated Pres,


BONN, Germany, July 25.-
President Eisenhower'S letter to
Chancellor Adenauer was as
sailed tonight by Mr.. Adenauer'S
powerful Socialist opposition.
They termed it intervention to
aid the chancellor in his fight for
reelection September s.
A Socialist statement declared
Gen. Eisenhower letter was in
poor taste, which would offend
millions of Germans, because it
"propagandistically combined"
the Communist revolts in
East Germany. in which scores of
Germans gave their lives. with
the theme of Germany joining
the Western defense front-one
of Mr.. Adenauer's main projects.
This was the Sharpest blast
yet by the Socialists at what they
term American intervention" in
the German election campaign
on Mr.. Adenauer's behalf.

East German Purge
Expected 10 Reach
Top Of Government
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

BERLIN, July 25.-The shake
up which unseated police boss
Wilhelm Zaisser is expected to
reach the very top of the East
German government soon. Ger
man informants said tonight.
zaiSser was temporarily job
less, but not necessarily in dis
grace. He may rebound into
even greater authority as min
lister of the Interior, students Of
Communist politics predicted.
A bitter struggle for power was
plainly in progress behind East
Germany'S Iron Curtain. Ever
since Q million workers rose in
an anti-Communist revolt June
II. a Moscow directed purge has
been under way. More heads
will roll before it ends.
Leaders Reported at Odds.
Premier Otto Grotewohl and
Deputy Premier Walter Ulbricht
were reported locked in a
political tug-of-war which may
cost one of them his job.
Few in West Berlin doubted
that Ulbricht will win. Although
No. 2 man in the government,
he is No. / in East Germany's
Communist Party as its general
secretary and his master grip on
the party appears unshaken.
With typical Com munist
secrecy shrouding the fate of
zaisser, whom Grotewohl re-
lieved last night as Minister of
State Security, rumors ran wild.
One unconf1rmed report said he
was under arrest and that his
successor, Ernest Wollweber, is
already purging his staff of
100000 security agents.
Was Beria Associate.
Theories that Zaisser is in dis
grace were based chiefly on his
close relations with Lavrenti P.
Beria. the arrested former Min
lister of State Security in the So
Wet Union.
But Zaisser was not only a
Beria man. For years he was
one of MoscoW's most trusted
military intelligence agents. He
was a leftist hero in the Spanish
Civil War under the name of
General Gomez" His comely
wife. Else, appears still in Office
as East Germany's education
minister.
There was no denunciation of
Zaisser in the announcement OF
his removal.
Food Is Top Concern.
Food concerned most East
Germans more than the political
purge. Thousands who have
not been able to buy a square
meal for weeks in bare-shelved
Communist food stores waited
anxiously for Monday. On that
day a big Western food relief
program is scheduled to begin.
Millions of free food packages
are to be given away to any East
German who can come over into
West Berlin to pick them up.
This come and get 1t" plan was
devised after Moscow refused to
let the United States ship a SIS
million food donation into East
Germany.
But Red police could balk the
whole scheme by simply cont1s-
eating the food when the re-
cipients start back across the
guarded border.

This year, for the first time in
the history of the order, the medal
of award will be pinned on the win
ner by the President of the United
States. Following the ceremony.
which will take place at 12:45 P.
NJ. at the White House on the first
day of February, the Elks Educa-
tlonal Department will sponsor
banquet N honor of the contest
winner ~ Howard University.
The National Citizenship Cele-
bration" banquet will be held in
the Baldwin Hall with the Presi
dent Mordecia w. Johnson of How
ard serving as principal speaker.
In accepting the invitation to
address this group, the Howard
President said, this is lone request
which I can't refuse"
DR.. Johnson was high in his
praise for w. c.. Hueston, grand
secretary who created the Elks
Educational Department back in
1925 and served as its Grand Com
missioner until he was promoted
to the Grand Secretaryship, filling
the vacancy created by the death of
j. E. Kelley.
During the % years Of its exist
ence, the Elks Department of Edu-
cation has granted scholarships to
657 young people with 68 attending
Howard university.
The great education rally was
originally planned by the present
Grand Commissioner of Education,
George W. Lee of Memphis, Tenn;
and is expected to be attended by
all Elk scholarship winners whe-
Their they have already completed
their education or are still in
school. All members of the Edu-
cation Department are expected to
be present as we'll as foremost non
Elk educators from all sections of
the country. Special invitations
have also been sent to all college
presidents, and heads of other edu-
cational institutions.
This new movement is a part of
the progressive program now being
initiated by Grand Exalted Ruler
Robert H. Johnson and has the
wholehearted support of the Grand
Daughter Ruler Mrs. Nettie Carter
Jackson.
Truly Hatchett Of Baltimore, the
assistant Grand Commissioner of
Education and senior Regional Di-
rector, is working to make this af-
fair a grand success.
Hatchett is extremely interested
in the educational program of the
Elks and boasts that he has had
more oratorical contest winners
from his region than from another
region.
Charles P. McClane, director of
public relations, is also lending his
support and assistance in planning
this gigantic affair.

DR.. Stringer, who is a past Post
commander and immediate past
18th District Vice Commander of
the American Legion, urged the
Negro Legionnaires of Mississippi
to secure the representation at
the annual Mississippi Department
Convention that you desire and de-
serve by filing a suit, if necessary,
with the Federal District Court, re
questing that an injunction be is
sued, forever restraining and en-
joining the Department of Missis-
sippi, The American Legion, from
making a distinction among it's
members on account of race or
color" He stated that "inasmuch
as the American Legion is an or
ganization chartered by the United
States Congress, it is therefore
subject to the jurisdiction of the
U. S. Constitution including the
14th Amendment" He further
stated that "the Mississippi State
Conference of the NAACP is ready
to throw its full weight behind

at the state level provided that Ne

give more than lip service towards
the achievement Of their goals and
fulfillment of their responsibilities.

AS to the progress of the town
of Mound Bayou, Mayor Greene
said that the progress and growth
Of the town, under far greater diff

much greater than a number of
lntegrated towns in Bolivar county
and the state which were estab-
lished about the same time with
Mound Bayou. Pointing to the
fact that the citizens of Mound
Bayou enjoyed some freedoms not
enjoyed by Negro citizens in other
towns of the state the mayor said
he could see no benefit in changing
The historic purpose and policy of
the town.
Mayor Greene, who is graduate
of the Harvard University Law
School and regarded as among the
more able Negro leaders Of the
state, in commenting on the sub
ject of "integration," said that
the town of Mound Bayou had been
established to set an example of
lnter-group cooperation and an
xample of what Negroes them
selves can do once they learn re-
spect for themselves and for each
other. He said that for the Mis-
sissippi Negro to learn the value of
cooperation" would prove of

Newark School Board Bars Maryland Woman Killed
'Streekar Named Desire As Locomotive Hits Car
BY the Associated Press

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. THE
Newark Board of Education last
night refused to allow Tennessee
Williams play "Streetcar Named
Desire" to be staged in a high
school auditorium.
The Pulitzer prize-winning
play, later made into a movie,
was to have been put on by the
Newark Community Playhouse,
a private group, on November IA,
Is and 16.
The Board of Education voted
6-3 to take back a permit for the
play on the grounds that to allow
its presentation would mot be in
the interest of the school sys-
tenn" The board members op-
posed to the production said they
were not censoring the play, but
said they were against it because
it would result in tying up
schools for a purpose for which
they are not primarily intended" "
Herman Blank, Newark attor-
ney and chairman of the theater
group, said he would appeal the
decision to the State Department
of Education and to the courts if
necessary.
