Army. For there appear to be few
impediments for Marshal Zhukov's
crossing over to support the young-
er men If the spirit moves him.
That is not to say that Malenkov
is given much chance of coming
back soon. He assumed guilt that
will be remembered for a long time.
On the other hand, Malenkov may
have a chance to duplicate Molo-
tov's feat under Stain by surviving
a demotion from the premiership.

One Theory

Reconstructing the Stain
events on the old guard VS.. youn( Ter
generation theory, the power struggle
seems to have centered in two
arenas, the government Council of
MiniSters) and the party Central
Committee of the Communist Party)
Malenkov had started as head of
both, Stains heir-apparent. But
nine days after he took over, he
had lost his party supremacy, which
was the most important. On March
IA, 1858, the Central Committee of
the Communist Party accepted his
resignation as first secretary of the
party.
KhruShchev, who had been sec
ond secretary. automatically took
over. His first test came in July.

khrushchev, in this situation, had
not only the older generation and
the Red Army, but Malenkov on his
side. The danger of Beria's taking
over was so urgent that the con-
tending forces within the Kremlin
closed ranks against him. Beria
wound up dead
Two months later the Central
Committee made Khrushchev off,
cial first secretary.
MoIenkov's Young ReoIists
In the government, meanwhile,
Malenkov was still in control. In
the 10-man inner circle of the
Council of Ministers he had at
least GA and possibly 7-3 voting
advantage over the old guard.
As Premier, or chairman, he
worked closely with five deputy
premiers of the younger generation:
M. G. Pervukhin, Minister of Elec-
trical Industry; M. z. Saburov.

Commission; " A. Malyshev, Min

2 Big Days
First MoIenkov Fell,

First indication that Georgi Ma
lenkov's downfall was at hand came
Tuesday at l pm (Moscow time)
when the Supreme Soviet met in
the great hall OF the great Krem-
lin palace.
Nikita Khrushchev, first secretary
OF the Communist Party-not
Malenkov-led the procession Of
government leaders to their seats
in the loge behind the speakers
dais.
Aleksandr Volkov, chairman of
the Soviet Parliament's upper house,
rose to read a letter from Malenkov:

landed in Vorkuta, the Arctic slave
labor camp.
Malenkov no doubt is now philoso-
phizing along similar lines. He is
probably the most important of
long string of unfortunateS who, like
the confessed brief case snatchers,
have to take the rap for somebody
else.
In Malenkov's case that somebody
else is clearly Nikita Khrushchev
(see box on this page.
Many took this as evidence that
Khrushchev had moved, at least
temporarily, into the No. / position
in the Kremlin's grim struggle for
personal power.
Doubts About Nicky
But some of the keenest students
OF the Soviet scene still were not
prepared to admit that Nicky
Khrushchev, drinking and
overbearing, sometimes irrational,
sometimes ruthless, always extro-
vert. could have clambered to the
wy VI CA4C IsCO PyI dLIlu over LIlt
shrewd old heads still dominating
the Communist Party's central COM
mittee.
They preferred to think that he
was only front man for the older
generation.
The Champion Lior
Men who make it their business
to read all Soviet speeches rate
Khrushchev the champion liar in
the Kremlin. If run-of-th
Moscow spokesmen exaggerate the
facts by amount, Khrushchev
uses factor Ok or 3x.
Nor is he mental giant. Every
man who has met him has the same
story. He borders on the foolish
the clownish. His speeches on
agriculture sometimes sound like the
ranting of crazy man.
These are few of the reasons
some observers expect that Khrush-
chev will not keep all the power he
admittedly has at the moment. They
believe (maybe hope is a better
word he is the pawn of the older
generation-led by Bulganin, Molo-
tov and Kaganovich-and expect
that in some future fracas he could
be deposed.

basic formula for ruling that vast
Soviet complex which sprawls across
two continents. But hints from
Moscow indicate that survivors in
side the committee are still fiercely
engaged in q struggle for absolute
power. One-man rule, quite prob
ably, is still some time of.
Old vs.. Young
Last weeks performance shaped
up as primarily clash within the
Communist Party, between the
younger generation and the Stalinist
old guard. with the Red Army play
ing strong background role.
Malenkov's newcomers apparently
have been at least temporarily out
weighed by the old-timers, whose
leaders seem to be Bulganin, Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, and
Lazar Kaganovich. The veterans
triumph probably was made certain
late last month at Moscow meeting
Of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party. Bulganin
emerged as q compromise candidate,
acceptable to both the army and the
old guard.
Effect OF the shuttle inside Russia
could hardly be anything other than
weakening. Creatures of the con-
tending giants at the top are prob
ably still tripping over each other in
lower-level realignments from earlier
shakeupS. The governments atten-
ton could not be properly concen-
trated on either domestic or foreign
policy.
More BlockmoiI
But this sign of weakness is not to
be read as an indication that the
Kremlin would be more inclined to
keep the peace. On the contrary,
there Is reason to believe that there
will be return to the old Stain
techniQues of more blackmail and
more bluff.
AS Mr.. Molotov> indicated in his
f1re-breathing speech at the Su-
preme Soviet's session on Tuesday,
there is to be no more open fear Of
nuclear war. More risks may be
taken, and that will heighten the
danger of war.
The new combination probably is
not eager for World War III. Stain
himself avoided big wars until Hitler
pushed him into one.
But relatively small adventures,
such as the one Red China seemed
ready to try in the FormoSa Straits,
might have more attraction for the
Bulganin regime, it seemed, than
they had for Malenkov.
Tochens Withdrawal
Nationalist Chinas withdrawal
from the Tachens island outposts
200 miles north of Formosa,
meanwhile. was completed by the
week end. 1t had started Monday
under the cover of the United States
7th Fleet. The Chinese Communists
stood aside, their forces under ord
ers to hold their fire unless pro-
voked. Only known casualty was
one American Navy attack bomber,
shot down by anti-aircraft fire when
1t strayed over Red territory. The
crew of three was saved.
President Eisenhower affected an
attitude of cheerful optimism
throughout the narrowing week. On
Thursday. in a show of supreme
confidence, he flew to Georgia for
week end of quail hunting with
his Cabinet crony, Treasury Secre-
tary George Humphrey. The fight
took A minutes more than two
hours. The President said recently
that he would not go more than
