remembering the bloody purges Of
the 1906. was given a voice In the
top circles Of power. Marshal Zhu-
kov. World War II hero and friend
OF President Eisenhower, was named
Defense Minister.
Two Considerations
The Red Army's position Ia the
determination Of Soviet foreign
policy is repeatedly based on two
paramount considerations: % The
defense Of the motherland; 20 the
assurance that no political leader
gains control Of the secret police.
Within the army's top command.
there is known to be sharp differ
{ence of opinion on the subject OF
Stalinism. But the high brass is
united on the two considerations
above.
Marshal Zhukov and his military
colleagues were not unduly con-
cerned with the DEVELOPMENT of
national" communism in the satel-
lltes OF Eastern and Central Europe.
But they were deeply concerned
with the potential threat posed to
the Red Army's interior communi-
cations and lines Of supply, in the
event Of o major war, by hostile
Hungary, When it became plain
that the revolt there was anti
Russian in the extreme, the army
threw its influence behind the
Stalinist group and backed merci-
less smashing of the Hungarian
freedom movement.
Perhaps an added factor in the
Moscow decision to unleash the full
frepower Of the Red Army'S might
against the Hungarian people was
the British and French Joint mill
tary Intervention against Egypt.
With the West preoccupied by dis
senSion within its own ranks. there
was little fear of international re-
percussions If fire and steel flat
tened the forces Of freedom in
Hungary.
But all the available signs point
to the continuation of the prevail
power balance within the Kremlin.
The army's support Of the Stalinist
stand in the matter of Hungary
was promised on the army's own
concern: it is hardly likely that the
Stalinist group can count on per-
manent army backing. OF course.
it one side or the other eventually
wins dependable army support, the
losing side will get short shrift.
But a successful palace revolution
is held highly unlikely SO long as
the contending factions are so
evenly matched and the army plays
its role cannily.

former Foreign Minister Vyaches-
Law Molotov. Lazar Kaganovich and
former Premier Georgi Malenkov.
The army, it is reasoned, acted
in keeping with its own concept of
what the Hungarian situation re-
quired. But that the army, in sup
porting the Stalinist demand for
suppression of the Hungarian re-
volt, was committing itself fully to
the pro-Stalin faction may well be
doubted.
How did the Red Army achieve
its strategic position at the center
OF the power balance? Here is how
the pieces At together, in the eyes
OF many American observers:
Since the death Of Stain, his un-
limited powers have been shared
by the collective leadership, at first
under the nominal leadership of
Mr.. Malenkov. Lavrenti IBERIA, who
headed by dreaded secret police

in that post for few months, but

and executed. Probably both fac
tons within the leadership agreed
on the necessity Of smashing Beria's
hold over themselves and all Russia

internal weapon--the NKvD.

factions needed a balancing force

Chief Judge John J. Parker, some
inferred he might knock down or
modify the law.
Hos Appeals System
The North Carolina statute.

a system Of administrative ap-

boards and then through the State
courts. Judge Parker observed
during arguments on this point
that it had been we'll established
that where a Federal question was
involved. only State administrative
remedies, and not State judicial
remedies had TO be exhausted be-

He left little doubt that an appeal

could be taken to a Federal court.

rlessmsn and attorney.
One hears little speculation about
who the Democrats might put UP
for Republican Senator Beall's
Senate seat which also goes on the
block in 1868. This is because they
are afraid the Republicans might
run Gov, McKeldin.
That brings us to the dilemma
facing the election-winning minor
ity party-namely. should Gov.
McKeldin 60 toward Washington or
Baltimore when he leaves Annapo-
lis.
He has told some friends he
would like to run for the Senate.
but that would involve a messy pri-
mary unless Senator BealI changes
his mind and decides to retire or
run for Governor himself. The
Senator so far has shown no incli-
nation except TO seek a second
term.
Gov. McKeldin also might return
to his native Baltimore and run for
Mayor again In 1859. Republicans
who favor this course usually men,
ton Representative James P. S,
Devereux as q likely Republican
candidate for Governor in that
event.
Fontostic Third Course
A third way out OF the dilemma
has been suggested, but II borders

posed in private that the Consti-

term two years from now.

comes in, but its proponents sug-
gest that the Democrats might be

Boot Is d Human BEING
At Todoy's Paris Island
BY Benz PRICE


PARIS ISLAND, S. C.-For
probably the first time since before
World War II this place looks
something like what it is-a United
States Marine Corps recruit depot.
a hive of marching and counter
marching young men, stepping out
proudly in their new, painted he'll
met liners behind red guidons.
Not so long ago the recruit, the
boot was quivering, frightened
young animal. He deliberately was
stripped of all human dignity. Now
ne keeps his pride and some meas
ure of his individuality.
Outside the main gate there is
even visitors welcome" sign. AS
much as anything, that sign is a
symbol of revised and perhaps
even finer Marine Corps.
The changes were wrought by
many men. but the man who
started it all was Matthew c. Nc
Keen, erstwhile drill instructor
(DD and staff sergeant, now a pri-
vate after his court-martial which
ended August 3.
Pvt. McKeon, a blond 6-footer
from Worcester, Mass, set of on a
night disciplinary march April 8
at the head of Recruit Platoon II.
He led his IA youngsters into the
mud and Seething tidal waters of
Ribbon Creek. Only So came out.
Until that tragic march the Ma
rines here had lived happily in
their comfortable, orderly and
somewhat remote world, feeling
ansWerable to nobody save their
immediate Superiors.
Armed guards at the main gate
shielded them from contact with
the general public. If you didn't
have specific business on the base
you weren't welcome.
Stronee Troining Methods
Prior to the tragedy, so the pre-.
trial investigation and the trial it
self brought out. the Marines in
their isolation had established and
condoned training methods not
found anywhere in regulations.
Except for cursory officer supervi-
sion, all training was left to the
non-commissioned officer drill in
structors. A few Of these, inept and
immature, substituted brutality for
leadership. Recruits were slapped
about, cursed, awakened on within
in the middle of the night and sent
ON march or ordered to police the
barracks again.
In the aftermath Of Platoon IT'S
night march, officers expressed ie-
norance of such goings-on. The
Marine Corps promised to clean
house. 1t appears to have done
just that. Paris Island. is a lot
healthier place than it was six
months ago.
New training methods have been
adopted, but-more important-of-
f1cers are rediscovering that while
rank has its privileges 1t also has
its responsibilities.

MARYLAND
By GENE GOODWIN

George P. Mahoney can still
boast that he has received more
votes than any Maryland Democrat.
But what the Maryland Democrats
need are candidates who can get
more votes than Republicans.
Maybe, in view of the Eisenhower
avalanche Tuesday. no Democrat
could have unseated Republican
Senator Butler.
Although the Senator ran about
$1,000 votes behind President EiSen-
hover, he still piled up an i'm
pressive 50,000-vote margin over
Mr.. Mahoney. Mr.. Mahoney ran
about 1900 votes ahead Of Adlai
Stevenson.
Could Willard E. Tydings, the
man Democratic voters chose over
Mr.. Mahoney to run against Sen
ator Butler this time, have done
any better?
That question will keep the po-
litical Monday morning quarter
backs busy for awhile.
One thing Tuesdays election
showed is that the Republicans are
a minority party in Maryland in
name only. The Democrats out
register them better than two-to-
one. but the Democrats haven't
elected a Senator since 1914 nor a
Governor since 1886.
Start Of Hard Times
II may or may not be significant
that the beginning Of hard times
for Free State Democrats conceded
with Mr.. Mahoney's entry into
State politics. At least a part Of his
support In this most recent loss this
NTH ecan be attributed to a desire
on the part Of some Democratic
leaders TO move him upstairs" and
give the party six years TO mend it.
