Outside Russia
Moienkov's Soft Line
Toward West Also Held
Likely Cause of Coup

Molotov's speech disclosed what
may have been another pretext for
lowering the boom on Malenkov.
The Stalinist group probably was
diScontented with the soft line to-
ward the United States and its free
world allies.
Molotov saw two matters of
urgency developing, apparently, and
may not have liked Malenkov's do
nothing" attitude.
Germany was probably his prin-
cipal concern. The West Germans
seemed to be moving steadily toward
rearmament on the side of the
United States. The Kremlin's re-
actions have been unimaginative.
Maybe there was too much of the
carrot and too little of the stick to
please the StaliniSts.
If so, the free world may soon
see some new improvisations on a
hard theme to frighten West Ger
many out of making an alliance
with the West. Most diplomats who
have matched wits with Mr.. Molo-
tov agree that he is capable of some
extremely diabolical schemes.
The United States bold new pro-
gram in the Far East also may have
been one of the foreign situations
which triggered the events in Mos
COW last week.
Judging from their bellicose pro-
nouncements of Tuesday and We'd
nesday, Molotov and Bulganin may
believe that little more muscle
for the Peiping government would
stand better chance of succeeding.

The Red Army
Force That Guards Kinq
Often Reserves Right
To Make a Monarch

A third force which possibly acts
as an arbiter in the uneasy coalition
between old and young, and maybe
even insists on quiet shifts of power
rather than bloody changes. is the
Red Army.
Perhaps it is still too early to
look upon Marshal Georgi Zhukov
as the kingmaker. At least for the
present he has moved closer to the
old guard than to the new. This
no doubt has delighted the Molotov-
Bulganin Kaganovich branch, for
the marshal indubitably adds a
touch of class to their ranks.
Considering his popularity and
the armed strength he commands,
zhukov will be man to watch in
the future. So far there is no
evidence that he lusts after top
political power. But that could come
later.
In the meantime. the Bulganin
clique probably will be clearing

kov on many economic matters.
These younger men, in their 40s
and early SOS, were looked upon
outside Russia as the rather more
realistic, competent, economist type.
Arrayed against them were the
three old-guard First Deputies:
Molotov, Minister Of Foreign Affairs;
Bulganin, Minister of Defense, and
Kaganovich, without any ministry.
This balance of power kept Malen-
kov in the premier's chair for %
months.
1t was Malenkov's misfortune,
however, to be boss only in the gov
ernment, not in the party. The
Communist Party, of course, is like
the ancient concept of kingship: 1t
can do no wrong. It's policies are
infallible, although its administra-
tors may deviate. This is every
Communists first article of faith.
The presidium of the party'S Gen.
tral Committee was stacked with old
timers, against Malenkov. In this
nine-man group, there were be-
sides Malenkov only Pervukhin and
Saburov of the younger generation,
and Mikoyan. who presumably
sympathized with their views.
Against these four. the old guard
had five: Molotov, Khrushchev, old
Klementi Y. Voroshilov. honorary
President of the USSR"; Bulganin
and Kaganovich.
After Mikoyan's removal as Min
lister OF Trade. the Central Commit
tee preSidium was presumably
weighted 5-3 in favor of the Stalinists.
The final decision to depose Ma
lenkov is believed to have come at
the Central Committees meeting late
last month. The pretexts used are
believed to have covered both foreign
and domestic policy.
Evening star., 1955-02-13

was more eager than older men
in the Council of Ministers to give
the peasants incentives to produce
more. There was so much high
level opposition to this that Malen-
kov himself never succeeded in get
ting many more consumer goods to
the people, as far as outside OBJ
servers can detect.
Most of the loosening up on con-
sumer goods was merely talk (see
Richard Fryklund'S article on page
A-2D.
StoekpiIe Question
But the people had been given
more flour. for example. Under
Stain, white flour was distributed
only three times year. 1t was put
out every week under a Malenkov
decree. Since the Soviet farms
hadn't increased output of grain, it
was logical to assume that this flour
had come from stockpiles.
One theory has 1t that Malenkov
tapped military stocks, thereby
alarming the Red Army. That
could have led to a coalition be-
tween the Army and the old guard
against Malenkov's group.
If the Soviet armed forces were
actually cut by 10 per cent last
year, as some economic scholars
believe. in order to make consumer
goods, this may have prompted the
army to side with the old guard.

How Do You Pronounce XPyMEB =?

One OF the StrangeSt- t-Sounding
names to come out of Russia is the
one which appears in Cyrillic char
acterS in the headline and immedi-
ately below:
NPNHIEB
The six letters represent the last
name of Nikita S. Khrushchev, mys-
terry man-and probably strong man
of the new Soviet regime. Here
Is how six Russian characters do the
work OF 10 English ones:
The first letter, which looks like
an *, is the clearing-th throat
sound used by Scots ("loch") and
Germans C'noch'). In English it is
represented by the letters XII"
The second letter, resembling a
"P", stands for "R" in Russian, and
Is so pronounced.
The third, something like our "Y",
is the Slavic equivalent of "U." It
is pronounced 90"
The fourth letter, which resembles
q Roman numeral III with a tail on
1t. has no counterpart in English.
1t stands for the sound of the let
ters italicized in the following words:
"freSh cheese" The English alpha
bet transliterates 1t as "shch."

BuIgonin's Rise

Later Party Secretary Khrushchev
nominated Marshal Bulganin, min
ister of defense. as Malenkov's sue
cessor:

devotes all his strength TO serving the
the Soviet people. -.
He emphasized two features which
had appeared in the Malenkov resig-
nation: The party is supreme; the
government needs an experienced
man at its head.
Stressing the influence of the older
generation, Khrushchev disclosed the
existence of a Council of Elders
within the party's Central Com
mittee.

Formosu
Mutual Defense Treaty
With Chiong Approved
By Senate, "a to 6

BY healthy margin of 64-6 the
Senate last week approved a mutual
defense treaty with Nationalist
China. The vote confirmed the leg
islative solidarity that had been
apparent in last January's bica-
neral vote indorsing President
Eisenhower's Formosa policy.
Three UNDERSTANDINGS" adopted
by the Senate's Foreign Relations
Committee, were cited to interpret
the treaty. Two of them were in
tended to make Chang Kai-shek's
'leashing'' completely clear. They
provided that the United States
would not support the Nationalist
on any mainland escapade, and that
the treaty did not bind America to
help Chang keep any more than
FormoSa and the PeScadoreS.
The third understanding" at
tempted to define the Senate's con-
cept of international law insofar az
sovereignty over Formosa is con-
cerned.- It claimed that the treaty
neither strengthens nor weakens
the Nationalists' claim to sovereign
ty over the islands. 1t is the United
States position that Formosa's
status is undetermined, since the
Japanese peace, treaty did not as
sign them to any power although
it did stipulate that Nippon could
lay no claim to them
Russia, processing concern over
the tensions in FormoSa Strait
proposed yesterday that the Big
Four and Red China, along with
Southeast Asian countries, hold q
conference on the situation in
Shanghai or New Delhi.
The United States has made it
clear it certainly would not partici-
pate unless Chiangs Nationalist
government were invited. There is
no assurance, either, that the Amer
leans would risk another Geneva
type conference even II Chang
were allowed to come.

MoIotov's Speech

Immediately after the Supreme
Soviet had unanimously approved
the choice of Bulganin as premier.
Foreign Minister Molotov took the
speakers rostrum for a 212-hour
diatribe against the West.
This was Molotovs most notable
remark.
In eose Of on eventual war, world
erllizotion will NOT perish but whot will
be destroyed is the rotten socioI system
with its blood saturated imperialism which
is being rejected by oppressed peoples.
Thus Molotov publicly contra
dlcted Malenkov, who said in March
1854 that new war would mean the
destruction of civilization, and re-
vealed sharp difference within the
Soviet government on foreign policy
tactics, at least, If not foreign policy
itself. If Molotov shares Malenkov's
fear Of atomic war, he has no inten--

MoIenkov Was Forced
To Eat Khrushchev's
Words on Agriculture

It's seldom enough-in Rus
sia or anywhere else-that a
politician admits his own mis-
takes. But only in the Soviet
Union could a man be expected
to acknowledge guilt for some
one else's bad idea.
That seems to be precisely
what happened last week when
Georgi Malenkov donned the
hair shirt. Even before he
spoke, the party newspaper.
Pravda, editorially attacked
Those who ore content with the
level achieved in the development Of
heavy industry and wont to eoneen-
trote on light industry and food pro-
duetion. This is profoundly mistoken
ond alien to the spirit Of Morxism-
leninism. 1t is nothing else but Q
slender on the porty. It is o return
to risht-wing opportunism.
The most notable utterance
along the line condemned by
Pravda came in 1858. This
announcement of policy said:
Nov thot the Necessary industrioI
bosis hos been met. the government
ond the porty eon turn full ottention
to the improvement Of agriculture.
-. Present procurement ond pur-
chase prices for onimoI husbondry
products are on inadequate incen-
tive to the moteriol self-interest OF
the collective forms and formers in
developing onimoI husbondry."
The man guilty of this utter
ance was not Malenkov, but
Nikita S. Khrushchev, who
now is riding higher than ever
following Malenkov's downfall.

As Possible Reason

The tortured reasoning with which
Moscow set forth Malenkov's neg
lect of heavy industry in trying to
build UP agricultural production is
regarded as mere window-dressing
for the real reasons behind the Cen
tral Committees actions. The real
reasons are still not clear.
But whatever Malenkov was he
was not one to slight heavy indus

The fifth letter is an e." all right.
But its normal pronunciation is like
our slang affirmative: Yeah. 1"
However, when it appears in a

Khrushchev's fiame-it frequently
has the sound of "yaw," as in
''yawn."
The sixth and final letter looks
like "B, but is really the Russians

Zhukov's Climb

Wednesday the Supreme Soviet
was back in session to learn how
the wreckage of Tuesday would be
cleared away.
Malenkov Jared remarkably well at
the hands of a wolf pack which had
been notorious in the past for its
unmerciful treatment of the de-
posed. He was allowed to retain a
position in the presidium of the
Central Committee of the Com
munist Party, and, in the govern
ment, he was allotted the Ministry
of Electric Power Stations, That
was big comedown, but not a
clean knockout.
OF more interest abroad, possibly,
was the elevation of Marshal Georgi
M. Zhukov. professional soldier
and wartime friend of President
Eisenhower, to Bulganin's old Job
as Defense Minister.
zhukov had fallen from favor
with Stain after World War II be-
cause he was getting too popular
for the old mans vanity to tolerate.
The marshal was baniShed first to
Odessa and later to the Urals before
he was recalled after Stains
death.
Last week, while Malenkov's
downfall was being made known
in the Supreme Soviet, zhukov
gave out an interview to an Ameri-
can publisher, William Randolph
Hearst, jr., in which he claimed to
speak both for the, Soviet govern
ment and for the party. -
This, of course, was unprecedented
since Stain came to power. No
mere general had put on such airs.
He talked almost as if he were run
nlng the show, and some long-shot
SPECTATORS on Soviet affairs were
betting that he soon would be. If he
was not already.
NostoIeic President
On Wednesday, President Eisen-
hover spoke almost nostalgically of
his Berlin interlude with Gen, Zhu-
kov in 1945, and said he would talk
to his advisers about renewing an old
invitation to the Soviet marshal to
visit the United States.
With the rivalry for Soviet power
still at the indecisive stage, however.
1t was doubtful that Marshal Zhukoy
would be able to tear himself away.
His appointment was widely inter-
preted as evidence of the influence of
the Red Army Western observers
look upon zhukov as a reasonable
man, with healthy respect for the
war potential of the United States.
They think he will have a moderat-
ing influence on any hotheads who
may populate the Kremlin's ruling
circles.
Premier Bulganin's speech, which
followed Marshal Zhukov's unani-
mously approved appointment as
Defense Minister, had little of the
moderate ring.
Bulganin still appeared in his
marshal's uniform. And nothing in
his speech drew as much applause
from the Supreme Soviet as reaffir-
nation Of the Soviet Unions COM
plete backing of the Communist
Chinese in the Formosa Straits.
Evening star., 1955-02-13

Supreme Soviet Of the USSR my request to
be relieved from the post Of ehoirmon OF
the council Of ministers Of the USSR.
Ny request is due to practical eonsidero-
tions on the necessity Of strengthening
the leadership Of the Council Of Ministers
and the need to hove at the post Of the
ehoirmon Of the Council Of Ministers
another eomrode with sreoter experience
in stote work.
Here was the first reason Malen-
kov used for stepping down. The
older generation was needed be-
cause it had more experience.
Malenkov then confessed to ar
alteration which was clearly not
his responsibility:
see particularly eIeorly my quilt and
responsibility for the unsatisfactory stots
Of offoirs which hos arisen in agriculture,
because for several yeors post hove been
entrusted with the duty Of controlling and
guiding the work Of central agricultural
organs and the work Of local porty and
administrative organizations in the sphere
Of agriculture.
The third feature of Malenkov's
statement. which pervaded its every
paragraph, was that the party is
superior to the government Here
are two typical passages from Ma
lenkov's statement which make this
clear:
"The Communist Party, on the
inttidttUe and under the guidance of
the Central Committee of the Conn
munist Party of the Soviet Union,
has already worked out and is i'm
plementing a series of large-scale
measures for overcoming the tagging
behind in agriculture.
g. I wish to assure the USSR
Supreme Soviet that, in the new
sphere entrusted to me, 1 will, under
the guidance of the Central Com
mittee of the CPSU, monolithic in
its unity and solidarity, and the
Soviet government. perform in the
most conscientious manner my duty
and the functions which will be
entrusted to me-"
Men who follow such Soviet con-
LESSONS closely are convinced that
the bludgeon- -wielder Khrushchev did
not write this one. as might have
been expected. 1t had too much of
the delicate air. There was nothing
in it about treason and spying, as
was the case with Beria's confession
and others like it.
Whether Bulganin, or Molotov, or
kaganovich wrote it, or whether one
OF Malenkov's own younger genera
ton did it. probably will never be
known outside the Communist
Party's inner circle. Possibly-just
barely Observation-Disclosures confes-
sion was written by Malenkov
himself.
