More Floods
 hreaten Pacific Northwest
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Rain clouds threatened to send more water into the flooding Col umbia River in the Pacific North west today.
 Some 1000 people have been evacuated and thousands of acres of land have been flooded as the Columbia and its tributaries car ried runoffs from record mountain snowpacks.
 A crest of 27 feet has been fore cast at Vancouver, Wash, where the Columbia rose to nearly 12 feet above flood stage. Army En- gineers expected the major dikes to hold at a 28-foot level.
 However, one major diking dis trict went under water yesterday when workers gave up efforts at closing a hole in levee apparent ly burrowed by beavers.
 The upper Snake River in east ern Idaho and Wyoming also was well above flood stage. A flood emergency has been called by Army engineers for several com munities bordering the Snake.
 Meanwhile, residents of Mus tang, Okla, counted damage from two tornadoes that sWirled over the town at treetop level yester- day. The freakish twin tunnels damaged every home in the town of 210 in central Oklahoma, but left no one injured.
 Property damage was estimated at $20O,000 Weather observers de- scribed the tWisters as ''very pow erful for their size" and said if the tunnels had moved a few feet nearer the ground the loss of life and damage might have been tire mendous."

 Khrushchev said Stalin had made "baseless charges" against Vyacheslov M. Molotov, then So- viet foregn minister, and Anastas I. Mikoyap, member of the top Politburo.
 And characterizing Stalin as "sickly suspicious" he said the late Soviet Premier once enter tained a suspicion the present President of Russia, Klementi Y. Voroshilov, was "an English agent" He said Stalin had a lis tening device put in Voroshilov's home.
 These new details of Khrush. chev'S assault on the fallen dicta. tor were disclosed today when the State Department released a 25,. 000-Word version of the speech the current Communist boss made on Feb. 24-25 to a Soviet Commu. mist Party Congress session.
 "It is not excluded" Khrush- chev said in the course of his speech which ran on after mid night, that had Stalin remained a the helm for another severa, months, comrades Molotov anc Mikoyan would probably have not

Stalin Down-Graded Further

delivered any speeches at this tthe February congress.
 "Stalin evidently had plans to finish off the old members of the Politburo and in this way (provide) a cover for all shame full acts of Stalin, acts which we are now considering"
 Portions of Khrushchev's speech had come to light before but the document released today went far beyond anything previously re- ported as to the vehemence of the assault on Stalin.
 American officials said the inn pact of the Kihrushchev speech | could be understood if compared with the way an American audi ence would react to a denuncia- tion of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln by a succeeding President.
 In the course of the secret seS- sion, Khrushchev made these ma. jor points against Stalin:
 l. Stalin used "terroristic meth ods against honest Soviet people" in order to establish his power.
 2. Stalin liquidated a long list of men who had worked with him.
 3. In the months before Nazi Germany's attack on Russia, Sta lin ignored warnings from Prime Minister Churchill of Britain and from Soviet observers in Berlin that the attack was coming.
 4. Stalin caused "annihilation of many military commanders and political workers during 1937-41" because of suspicion. This con- tributed disastrously to general lack of Soviet readiness for Hit ler's attack.
 5. In the 1930s Stalin showed in a whole series of cases his in- tolerance, his brutality and his abuse of power" because instead of trying to show the "correct- ness" of his leadership he often "chose the path of repression and physical annihilation," not only against actual enemies but also against innocent persons.
 6. On Jan. 20, 1889, Stalin mes saged key government agencies throughout Russia "that the appli- cation of methods of physical pressure" by the secret police or ganization NKVD was definitely permissible. Thus he personally | tion of socialist legality, torture and oppression -"

as to the seriousness Of the diff

Friends Of the AFL-CIO pres

These include the question Of
indorsing a presidential candi-
