has brought a new strengthen
ing to the ranks Of the wa
yerers, both in the working
classes and among the oppor-
tunist politicians.
Although at first glance the
Communists and their leftist-
Socialist allies in the Italian
Chamber of Deputies appear
to have q sizeable voting
strength. their influence has
been steadily waning in mat
tiers Of major importance, such
as the ratification of the Paris
agreements. And without the
intricate election machinery
prevailing in both France and
Italy. the Red strength even in
head-counts Of members of
Parliament would dwindle sig
nificantly.
Basically, the root cause Of
the Communist decline ~ap-
pears to be the failure Of the
party and its leaders to main
tain their traditional hold on
the laboring classes. No
longer is the party identified
in France and Italy as the
party of the workers, as it was
so successfully in the years be-
fore World War II.
This slipping appeal to the
workers, informed observers
believe, is not so much an in
dication that the working peo-
pie have swung to the right
in any appreciable numbers
The Communist losses appear
to stem in the main from the
Moscow emphasis on the sub
merging of purely national
considerations, with the ac-
.companying fanfare for inter-
national communism as a SUBJ
stitute.

BERLIN, Jan. Is. - John II.
Noble of Detroit, released last
week by the Russians after ga
years OF Soviet captivity, was

weather on his trip home to the
United States.
He was wearing a brand-new

years--when he boarded . plane

A book on Russia was purchased

terest in its title: "'The Dynamics

hard core Of dedicated Reds,

It can be expected, Of course.
that the Kremlin will take
some action to tighten its
lines to meet the new situation.
An entirely new tack would
surprise no one familiar with
Communist techniques. But
the mighty men Of the gloomy
Moscow fortress no longer have
a Stain to crack the whip.
There are plainly several pairs
of hands grasping for the whip
handle. but no one appears to
have achieved q good grip.
This situation. at first glance
a pleasing spectacle to the free
world, can be fraught with
danger. A temporary winner
in the Russian struggle for
power could very well adopt q

plunge his country into for
eign war in order to console
date his power and liquidate
his enemies.
But whatever the outcome,

gone on since the death Of

Now another significant de-
velopment has been heaped on
the Moscow pile Of woes. The
swift decline In membership
In the Communist Party OF
France and of Italy seriously
weakens the Kremlin's powers

goes steadily on. Worse yet.

U. 5. Negro Sailors!
To Obey Color Line
On Visit 10 Capetown

CAPETOWN, South Africa,
Jan. 15.--An order circulated
yesterday said the 400 Negro
crew members of the United
States aircraft carrier Midway
due to anchor here tomorrow,
viii be allowed to drink only in
bars reserved for the class Of
flcially listed as Cape Colored
people. These are people OF
mixed blood, as distinguished
from African Negroes.
The bars for the colored are
called non European bars. and
Negroes are not allowed in them.
Each Negro sailor from the
Midway will be entitled to q cer-
tif1cate exempting him from
liquor laws that ban sales of
liquor to Africans, the order said.
The sailors must be in uniform
to get into the bars and they
will be allowed to buy drinks
only for consumption on the
premises.
The Midway will be here four
days.
The United States Navy today
rejected a request to keep the
aircraft carrier Midway out Of
Capetown, because the Negro
crewmen would be subjected to
segregation ashore.
i. The request came from Clar-
ence Mitchell. director of the
Washington bureau of the Ma
tionai Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People.
