Effects

Only two effects Of Stains de-
canonization were visible last week,
but both were impressive and por-
tended even greater things.
Inside the Soviet Union, in the
Caucasus, there were demonstra-
tons and perhaps even riots. Mar
tial law was invoked. it was said.
At first these outbursts were taken
to be protests against the idols
proclamation; a second look indi-
Gated they were more probably pro-
tests from that segment of the
Communist hierarchy which was in
danger Of being purged as result
of the presidium's attack.
Outside the Soviet Union red
faced Communist strawbosses were
making the painful transitions in
great confusion. Splits were de-
veloping in the parties. In the
United States faithful old William
z. Foster was reported to be losing
ground by the minute as Americas
No. Red. Earl Browder, the king
pin of an earlier era who had been
"soft-purged" by Stain, was saio
to be on the ascendancy.
But the most important effect
seems to have been the disclosure
that, despite all the buildup, COM
munism had proved itself incapable
of any genuine persuasion, either
among intellectualS or among "the
masses" -flops in Soviet policy
before World War II, when Com
munists the world over had to
switch from hating to loving and
then back to hating Hitler, may
have been embarrassing, but they
left the articles Of Communist faith
untouched. Not so the deglorificA-
ton of Stalin.
Other Results
Another major effect would like
ly be to weaken the present leader
ship. ALI the present presidium big
wigs are closely associated with
Stain, and some Of his disrepute
is bound to rub off on the Khru-
shchev-Bulganin team. This may
not be fatal to the present leader
ship, but it is bound to be worri-
some.
Few students of the Soviet Union
believed that the Moscow leaders
had intended to go so far as their
adventure has already carried them.
A medium range effect of the
Khrushchev maneuver might well
be favorable for the Soviet Union,
on the other hand. Unsophisticated
peoples in Asia and Africa probably
will be impressed by the seeming
sincerity and good will of the new
Kremlin leadership, and tend to
accept economic and political ex-
pressions of Soviet friendship at
face value. In that sense, the
maneuver would make the United
States cold war job more difficult.
It is a State Department hope,
Of course, that the new collective
leadership will become so enamored
Of superficial gains in South Asia
and Africa that it loses sight of its
own diminishing power at home.
The potential for chaos, they think,
is encouraging.
One Paris cartoonist puts the
problem well. His ghost of Stain
warns the present Soviet leaders:
Look out! In Is years time you
may have to rehabilitate me-"

The Background


with his foul legacy since he died.
They have been trying to calculate
whether they would be inheriting
mostly assets or mostly liabilities If
they played along with the program
of l0Ciatry which Stain had set up
for himself while he lived.
Close observers of the Soviet
scene believe it was late last jan
uary that the decision was finally
made to destroy the Stain myth.
January % was the last time
prominent Soviet organ referred
to the great work of Marx-Engels-
Lenin-Stalin." From that day on
Stains name disappeared COM
pletely from the Communist press.
That was signal that Stains de-
Qualification had been settled.
But even the collective leader
ship, under Khrushchev, evidently
did not plan at first to go as far
in their denunciations as they
finally went. Khrushchev's open
ing speech was comparatively mild
in denouncing the "cult OF the IN
dividual." What individual? Sta
lin was not mentioned by name.
Perhaps the members Of the 10th
Party Congress liked what they
heard. At any rate, Mr.. Mikoyan's
speech which followed was much
more violent. 1t singled out Stain
by name several times. 1t was OBJ
vious, even from this distance. that
Mikoyans denunciation was warm
ly received by the Party Congress.
He was interrupted by applause
several times, the official tran
scripts disclosed.
Eight days after Mikoyan's blast,
Party Boss Khrushchev staged his
secret" emotional denunciation
which-when 1t leaked out--was
found to have gone farther than
M1koyan's. Apparently these pro-
gressively more severe indictments
of the dead Stain were decided
upon after it was seen that they
were acceptable to the party as
whole. Khrushchev's second speech
may have been made to avoid Civ
ing his presidium rivals any op-
portunity to criticize him for get
ting out Of touch with the collec-
tive leadership's policy line. ANY,
way he decided to out-Mikoyan

Many guesses have been made
ranging from a few hundred
million dollars a year up to more
than a billion. But the Hoover
Commission said other intelli-

say the CHA budget is~around
500 million and that the agency
employs about $4,000 full-time

Cool to Scrutiny
The CHA is reported to be cool
toward the watchdog idea. But
perhaps the most distasteful part
OF the expected Rules Commit
tee approval of the bill will be
the public attention sure to
follow.
The job of the CHA is to gather
intelligence and coordinate the
intelligence activities of more
than a score Of other agencies.
The genesis Of the CHA goes
back to the day Japanese bombs
shattered the morning calm at
Pearl Harbor. December Z, 1941
American intelligence agencies
knew that raid was coming. but
the information was never prop
erly used.
To protect against future Pearl
Harhors, National Intelligence

after the war body created a

grew into the Central Intelli-
gence Agency. The job Of the
agency is to gather foreign in.

well as research into more con-
ventional sources: coordinate

agencies. and assemble the ma
terial In disable form and de-

time.
Weekly Meetings
Director of Central Intelli-
gence Allen Dulles meets once
a week with the heads of Army,
Navy and Air Force intelligence,
the National Security Agency,
the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation. the intelligence sections
OF the executive departments. to-
draw up summaries Of latest esti-
mates Of q potential enemy'sI
capabilities and to predict the
potential enemy's probable course
of action.
These eStimates-and often
vigorous dissenting opinions
are taken tine next day to the
National Security Council by Mr..
Dulles. Sitting on the council
are President Eisenhower. Vice
President Nixon, Secretary of
State Dulles. Secretary of De-
Tense Wilson and once of De-
tense Mobilization Director Ar,
thur S. F!emming.
How the CHA arrives at the
intelligence estimates and the
nature Of the estimates them
selves are things the potential
enemy would very much like to
know. To guard that informa-
ton, the CHA was given unprece-
denied powers Of secrecy by
Congress.
