Sailing on her regular New York.
| Norway-Denne9k run, the Bergens-
ford, as Vice President Nixon has
said, will be an important means
of strengthening the already firm
bonds of friendship which bind the
United States to Norway and will
represent the forging of "a signifi-
cant new cultural and economic
link" between the two countries.
There is cause for just pride on
the part of Norwegians, the many
Americans of Norwegian descent
and the Norwegian America Line
in this beautiful new luxury liner.
And Americans, who love the sea
and revere fbrave ships, rejoice
with them. Welcome Bergensfjord.

1t is readily agreed by most OBJ
servers that Pravda, leading Com
munist party newspaper has re-
printed the Daily Worker article
of U. S. Red chief Eugene Dennis
on Krushchev's diatrlbe against
Stain under orders from the top
command. Obviously, this is to set
the scene and prepare the some
what punch-drunk Russians for
some further revelations.
Dennis (and Pravda) describes
the crimes attributed to Stain by
Krushchev as 'unforgiveable" and
without historical or political
necessity, and asks why these
things happened and whether they
were inevitable. The article goes on
to ask more pointedly whether the
present leadership made any at
tempt ito change anything" while
the Stain atrocities were being
committed "Could the past evils
haze been checked earlier? How big
and serious are the changes now
under way?"
But, since Khrushchev himself
explained in his defamatory speech
with apparent humility-that he
and other Stain stooges were
powerless and frightened for their
own necks, it is difficult to see that
a REPETITION of these unheroic state
ments would increase his stature.
Meantime, in Washington, the
press conference statements of
Secretary Dulless on confusion in
the Kremlin were drawing fire from
experts" who regarded them as
too optimistic. international COM
nlGuism", he said in a prepared
statement, "is in state of perplex-
ity and at internal odds because
basic truths have caught up with
it, For one thing, it is difficult,
he thought, to control such a sys-
tenn without the iron discipline
and brutal terrorism" of Stain;
and for another, those in charge

In the questioning that followed.
Mr.. Dulles asked if these perpex-
tiles" threatened the position of
Khrushchev. He pointed out that
the question relates to the in
ternal affairs of another govern

on it, but 1 think / had better re-

Next day, rebellion fiared up in
Poland, most explosively in the
bloody riots in Posnan.
To assume that Nikita Khrush-

printed in Pravda may be just as
