ergy Commission is using.
Concluding Arguments.
At session yesterday marked
by sharp interchanges Of oppos-
ing counsel, the commission
heard concluding arguments on
the financing of the project,
which is bitterly opposed by iva
advocates and strongly backed
by the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
MVG sought approval under
the Holding Company Act, and
in his closing argument, Solo
mon Freedman, counsel for the
SEC Division Of Corporate Reg
ulation, said that the stock issue
had the approval Of the Arkan-
sas Public Service Commission,
and that the Federal agency
could do no more than set up
conditions and terms for the
sale Of the securities.
As the hearing ended, Chair
man Ralph H. Demmler an
nounced simply that the COM
mission would take the case un-
der advisement.

Also, he has headed the recent
drive for concentration on the
development of heavy industry.
Mr.. Malenkov was identified in
the public mind with the cam
paign to concentrate on light In
dustries in order to produce con-
sumner goods and raise the
standard of living of the Soviet
people.
This concentration on light in
dustries was denounced recently
as contrary to the teachings of
Lenin and Stain and dangerous
for the Soviet state. Mr.. Malen-
kov, in his resignation state
ment, said the state must con-
centrate on heavy industry as
the basis of all production. pros
porous agriculture and defense.
Says He Did Job Badly.
He confessed that in the days
before Stalin's death. when he
was in charge of the agricultural
program. he had done the job
badly.
Diplomats were interested in
the fact that Marshal Bulganln
was elected to the premiership
by the same session of the Su-
preme Soviet which unanimously
approved the new 1855 budget
which raised Soviet military
spending by about IL per cent.
The same Soviet also appro-
priated vast sums for the de-
velopment of heavy industry.
Mr.. Malenkov, in his statement
of resignation. said the Soviet
Unions agricultural program
under him. even in the days be-
fore Stains death, had bad
results.
MalenkOv Not Ill at Ease.
Although he had made a full
acknowledgment OF his error
and lack of experience. Mr.. Ma
lenkov did not appear i'll at ease
on the stage. CARRIED in a blue
business suit, he chatted infor-
mally with other Soviet leaders
on the platform.
The appointment of Marshal
Bulganin and Mr.. Molotov'S
speech came three hours later in
the afternoon session.
This was the scene as the So
Wet reconvened in the afternoon
session: Mr.. Malenkov led the
government leaders to the stage
and was greeted with loud ap-
plause. He was followed by Mr..
Khrushchev and the rest of the
government. AS soon as they
took their seats, Mr.. Khrushchev
arose and walked to the rostrum
to a standing ovation. to make
the speech nominating Marshal
Bulganin.
Evening star., 1955-02-08
BY the Associated Press

Marshal Nikolai Bulganin. the
new Soviet Premier. is the man
whom Stain and Stains heirs
trusted to administer for many
years the gigantic Soviet war
machine.
With his iron gray hair. his
carefully trimmed Van Dyke
beard, and close-cropped mus
tache, dressed in an immaculate
and well-pressed uniform with
great marShal's stars cleaning
from his shoulder boards, Mar
shal Bulganin looks the persona
fication of military dignity and
precision.
In reality, though he had once
been given cram-school course
of military education, Bulganin
is no more a veteran military
man that Generalissimo Stain
was.
Marshal Bulganin was put in
charge of the Soviet armed
forces as the Communist Party's
political policeman. 1t was q
tribute to him that he held this
difficult and exacting job SC
long-from 1914. when Stain
made him sfirst deputy minister
of defense, without interruption
for more than a decade. During
this period he had various titles
minister of the armed forces,
minister of defense. and for sew
eral years he held no official
title but was unofficially the
Politburo member in charge OF
armed forces policy. The change
of names did not change his
real job.
Kept Army in Line.
He had the assignment on the
one hand of keeping the army
in line for the Communist
Party, crushing any dissidence
among the officer corps with
swift ruthlessness, keeping ca
reer officers and generals from
