Carolina Democrat took note Of
Federal ofncials who have been
reluctant to discuss security

He said that these officials
would not find 1t so easy to fall

The Revenue Service sent out
q notice on October %, 1854,

The Week in Religion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

Ever since the custer Of Rus
sian Premier Malenkov, Western
churchmen have wondered what,
If any, changes the Kremlin
power shift may mean in the
Communist attitude toward re-
ligion.
The Soviet Unions new Pre-
mier is Nikolai Bulganin, but the
man generally regarded as the
most powerful member Of the
ruling clique is Nikita S.
Khrushchev, first secretary Of
the Communist Party.
Khrushchev last November
signed a party decree that made
headlines throughout the free
world by calling for a halt to
certain church prosecutions.
The decree. published In
Pravda, criticized officials who
had tolerated interference with
church activities and told Rus
sian anti-religious workers to
stop insulting clergymen and
church-goers.
Vatican Sees No Change.
These unexpected sentiments,
and Khrushchev's subsequent
rise, may have given some re-
ligiouS leaders cause to hope for
a relaxation of Communist pres
sure on the churches.
Vatican spokesmen, however,
are not optimistic about any
Communist change of heart.
In commentary on the custer
of Malenkov, the Vatican radio
said it felt no substantial change
could be expected.
The station mentioned the
Khrushchev order. But it also
called attention to other parts
of the decree that made it clear
the Reds intend no change in
their policy Of educating" the
people away from religion.
If there is a new idea in the
Khrushchev directive on anti
religious work. the broadcast

Of practically nothing but heat.
The incinerator's anticipated
lack of "f1y-ash," as the parti-
cles left over from burning trash
are known, is particularly pleas
ing for the Sanitation Division
to contemplate. Mr.. Xanten has
to be conscious of fly-ash since
homes containing potential COM
plainants who resent f1y-aSh

located nearby.
Fleet Of Trucks on Move.
The metamorphosis of rubbish
into heat waves at the plant will
be facilitated by ramps over
which a fleet of 25 trucks daily
will roll right through the build
ing depositing their loads in a
pit As feet deep, II feet wide
and 100 feet long.
Three mechanical cranes on
rails close to the ceiling will
crawl back and forth grabbing
up huge bucketfuls of litter from
the pit and hosting the trash
up. over and into the chutes
leading into the furnaces. Some
5000 cubic yards of combustible
condemnation will disappear
daily into the four fiery maws.
1t is a mild irony that despite
all the heat that will be gen.
Grated by the furnaces. the in
cinerator building itself will get
its heat and hot-water supply
from the neXt-door repair shop
of the sanitation division.
Virtually all the trash-burning
operation will be push-button.
But there will be one uncompro-
misingly manual touch.
To get the fires started, around

Wenzel, superintendent of trash
services, somebody will simply
strike a match and drop it into

KremIin's Anti-Church Drive
Shifts to Scientific Atheism

noted, it can be put this way:
Destroy religion, but with nice
manners and. as far as possible,
without being odious to people.
A full reading of press reports
on the Pravda article bears out
the Vatican Interpretation. The
Khrushchev piece was mainly
complaint about the way the
anti-religious battle had been
waged. 1t offered q guide to
more effective measures to
eliminate religious beliefs among
the Russian people.
Warns of ver-ZealOuS.
The article urged party mem
bers to conduct systematic and
painstaking work on natural,
scientific knowledge and the
theological struggle against re-
igion."
Warning that the tactics of
over Jealous workers might
strengthen religious prejudices."
it said:
Instead. patient, well-organ-
lied scientific atheistic propa-,
ganda among the believers will
help them finally free themselves
from their religious errors"
From examination Of Soviet
newspapers, especially those pub
lished outside Moscow, and eval-
uation of Soviet radio broadcasts,
it seems that the Khrushchev
directive served as a signal for
a vast expansion of scientific"
programs to eliminate religion
from the minds of the Russians.
Drive Spreads Into Asia.
The campaign has extended
throughout the Soviet Union,
into the vast and sparsely settled
Asian areas. In the Kazak Re-
public, the official radio reported,
