great Stain" except in broad
casts from Communist China.
It is understandable that the
new Kremlin team would want
to make its people forget that
Stain ever lived. New dicta-
tors, until they are well settled
in their position. do not want
any shadow cast upon them.
Hence references to the dead
leader must be eliminated.
But the fact that the news
casters and editorial and news
writer's in the hundreds Of
newspapers published through
out the U. S. S. r. never men,
toned any of the three new
leaders is highly significant.
The customary propaganda
technique would require. that
the people should be told about
what their new masters are
doing day by day.
Stain was known through
out the length and breadth Of
the Soviet empire by every
adult and child. But it Is
doubtful that the names of
Malenkov, Molotov and Beria
are known to more than half
the population-if that many.
The Soviet propagandiSts
seem also to have lost their
compass. Not only are they
carefully refraining from men,
tioning the new great names"
but their propaganda appears
to have lost its old punch. The
liberation Of the Korean POWs
by Syngman Rhee. which few
months ago would have been
played up in tens Of thousands
of words is being barely noted.
There is talk about Cock
istence between capitalism and
communism one day and the
next day there are blasts at
the monopoliStic -imperialiStic-
capitalistic America. None Of
these main topics, however. is
followed up with the past
vehemence except in a few
satellite broadcaSts.
The puppet governments are
obviously concerned about the
shape of things to come in
Moscow and try to keep their
people in line by this old-style
propaganda. The fanatical

Contest for Power in krennIin
Silence From Russio the Less FonoticoI Propaganda,
MAY Be Compared to the Calm Before Storm

ardor Of the Red spokesmen
appears played out.
The Interpretation given by
the specialists in such matters
Is that very serious develop
ments may be expected in the
near future in Russia. The
world was given a foretaste In
the uprisings in Czechoslo-
vakia and Eastern Germany.
Similar outbursts on q smaller
scale. and consequently less
publicized, are said to have
occurred in Romania, Hungary
and Bulgaria. These oppressed
peoples obviously sense the
weaknesses which appear to be
developing in the U. s. s. r.
and are hopefully preparing to
take full advantage Of them.
Our main interest, however,
is centered in the situation
within Russia. There is a si-'
lence in that usually violent
and troublesome country
which can be compared with
the calm before q storm.
The rumors that Malenkov
has been liquidated have
been proved definitely false.
According to the best available
information from sources
which have been proven COR
rect in the past. he and Beria
are getting ready for q final
showdown. Since neither can
muster the. political influence.
of Stain, who could afford to
bring his political opponents
before a kangaroo court and
dispose of them legally
there is a growing belief that
the competitors for Stalin's
mantle are trying to rely on
military forces to accomplish
their ambitions by alliances
with favorably inclined gen.
erals. The assumption in
Washington is that both men
are at present negotiating
with these professional SOL
diers for q final showdown for
power.
These speculations are
founded on a number Of re-
ports which indicate that for
the first time since the end Of
the war something serious is
brewing in Russia.

TooMuch Nonsense Over Books
As Iona as We Use Overseas Libraries for Propugondo
Selection of Books VIII Rest With the Powers Thot Be

The battle over the books,
burned and unburned, has now
entered the phase of beautiful
nonsense. And don't refer to
the stupid malevolence Of Nc
Carthy and the little boys he
sends abroad to peek into the
shelves of our overseas ibrar-
ries. I refer to such ringing
statements as the following:
1.-The American overseas liz
braries do not belong to a con-
gressional committee or to the
State Department. They be-
long to the whole American
people, who are entitled to
have them express their finest
ideals of responsible freedom.
In no other way can the librar-
rieS effectively serve their pur-
pose, and in no other pattern
can this association aid in
their progress"
That is the concluding para
graph Of a manifesto entitled,
THE Freedom to Read" just
broadcast by the American
Library Association and the
American Book Publishers
Council, two very fine, high
minded organizations. And
it is nonsense.
OF course those overseas IL
braries do not belong" to any
congressional committee or
the State Department. But, as
long as we continue to set up
our shelves in any country that
will let us, some committee of
Congress is going to exercise
the privilege or the right to
help select the books we put
on the shelves. If not McCar
thy's committee, then some
other: say the Senate or House
Apropr iationS Committee,
whose chairmen, Messrs.
Bridges and Taber respectively,
have some odd ideas of their
own. They could say for what
books money shall be spent.
That's the way representative
democracy works. BY free elec-
ton last fall we chose MeSsrs.
Mccarthy, Taber and some
others to express our finest
ideals Of responsible freedom"
Maybe next election we will
choose somebody else, but we
won't get anybody who can
please all of us in the selection
of books we think foreigners
should read.
The overseas libraries pre-
sent a very real problem, q
problem, it is beginning to
appear, too difficult for a
democracy to handle. They
have been made part of a
large and expensive propa-
ganda effort, designed to inf1u-
ence people everywhere toward

right mind is likely to favor
airing all our shortc comings
abroad. Walter White. who
enjoys great and deserved
esteem in this country, has
complained to Secretary Dulles
because his book, "A Rising
Wind" has been banned by
our libraries in India. But
there is nothing strange in
the State Departments desire
to avoid advertising our race
problem o,the people Cf other
races.
There is q serious Ques-
tion," White wrote Dulles.
whether your department
wants the true story Of the
Negro told either at nome or
abroad" There isn't any
question at all: the State De-
partment does not want that
kind Of truth told abroad.
Nor would any other propa-
ganda outfit, representing
America.
Summed up. propaganda is
a slick business, one for which
a free democracy is eminently
unified, and it is about time
we realized it.

Constantine Brown:

Will the powerful Soviet
armies built up with such fond
care by the late Josef Stain
become like the Praetorian
guards in the period of decline
of the Roman Empire?
This is a question engaging
the attention of our intelli-
gence services. For the time
being there is only Informed
speculation"
But there are growing indi-
cations of strife and rivalries
between the three leaders in
the Kremlin. The possibility Of
each % them attempting to
win to his side portions of the
armed forces is ever present.
During Stains life, when
optimiSts ventured to prognos-
ticate that internal conditions
in the U. S. S. r. had become
very bad and a mass uprising
was inevitable, nobody doubted
the loyalty of the Red military.
Because Of that loyalty it was
feared that If the prognoStica-
tions of serious trouble in the
Soviet" were correct, Stain
might throw his legionS into
an external war in order to
avoid internal strife.
What a single individual
possessing unlimited dictato-
rial discretion can do cannot
be initiated by a dictatorship
headed by three individuals.
BY necessity they are jockey
ing for power and are vying
for the support, individually,
of the field marshals and gen.
erals who exclusively control
large forces in various military
areas.
There is something strange
going on in the U. s. S. r. these
days. We can merely sense it
without being able to put our
finger on it.
A daily perusal Of the news
paper and radio reports from
Russia available in official
quarters in Washington shows
that for more than a month
the names Of the members Of
the triumvirate - Malenkov,
Molotov and Beria-have never
been mentioned. Neither has

by two of the finest groups Of the

The establishment of the Orig
inal Illinois Club and the origin
of the Negro carnival season can be
traced to Mr.. Wiley Knight who
came to New Orleans from Chi
cago in 1894 to organize a school
of dance. This. class gave the first
ball in 1895 and from them the
club was organized. Mr.. Knight,
70, lost both legs over a decade
ago as result of operations due
to illness. He has not attended
a ball since 1941, but in 1850, he
was honored over WTPS as the
father of Negro society in New
Orleans. In keeping with the pol
icy of its founder in the further
ance of Give interest and community
life, the club has adopted 1he pol

among these are Mr.. Ernest J. An

active member. He entered the

From February to Is the annual observance of

during the week is to deve into the records and note
of the accomplishments Of that race of which too
few credits and pages recorded in American history
books.
Recently one has observed tendency to frown up
any week which stresses But the intent of a
Negro Week is not dscredt deny any other group
rather it is to place alongside the history of the Negro
which history he has had to write himself, necessarily
losing account of many glorious chapters which ought
to be part Of "the record
The failure to understand the history and record of
Negroes is that of that today has
so little regard for their background and know
nothing of from whence they have what they
have accomplished This failure is also reason that
white Americans often labelling the Negro and
regarding him little more than the unframed, in
capable slave Truth is very few white Americans have
a proper background of the Negro largely because his
torians, in the main white, writing of free people,
haven't bothered to the Negro citizen and human
being until recently and then less from dis
lance.

class group to spend at least day during the week
