The reason why so many independent
stock car drivers choose Chevrolet is
simple: Their livelihood depends on
plotting the winner-and in 1856 that
means Chevrolet!
Chevy's victories are based on its SUE
perior road-holding and traction, the
precision of its handling, the durability
of its engine and running gear, the
instant snap of its acceleration.
These qualities offer bonus to you in
your normal driving. Forever at 10
mp.h.-you DO need that extra margin
of safety on slippery blacktop, on mar
row hilly roads, in the thick of traffic
the superb control and sure command
that are proved in the last-notch test
of stock car racing, not just claimed!

captive nations have been
urged to adopt the humane
tartan socialist mask. In this
way they may attract to their
side a number Of neo-socialist
factions which in their eager
ness for q perfect world may
not look at what is under the
Red rug.
For the same purposes, the
Communist leaders outside the
USSR may have been given
the word to become '.inde-
pendent" Of Moscow by mildly
criticizing their betters in the
Kremlin.
Insofar as the United Slater
is concerned. where socialism
still lacks political appeal, the
principal motive is to get the
Communists of the hook as
subversives and agents of a
foreign power - which they
still remain.

Something Brewing in KremIin

recently in Moscow has been
artificially planned. But Of
ficials in Washington feel the
sensational speech by Khru-
shchev IN February was forced
on him as a maneuver in de-
tense against his political OPP
ponents inside the Kremlin. tt
took many weeks for the text
Of that speech to leak out.
The question is what happened
in the interim.
What has been going on I'M
der the surface since the lines
of battle between the pro-
Stain and nti-Stalin groups
in the Kremlin were drawn?
Certainly control of the Com
lnunist parties outside Soviet
Russia is an important piece
of influence for someone in the
Kremlin to manipulate. Hence,
the anti-Khrushchev propa-
ganda let loose from New York
and other centers carries spe-
cial significance. The fact that
the editorials from the out
side organs Of the Communist
parties have just been re-
printed in Moscow newspapers
shows that whoever controls
the press there wanted to use
those same editorials as an
influence inside the Soviet
Union itself.
It's a desperate game, and
perhaps soon the world will
know more details as a purge
of the higher-ups - maybe
Khrushchev or Bulganin or
both will go down-and the
elevation of some new leader
come to pass. Something is
going on inside the Kremlin
that means much to the out
side world. Dictatorships work
invisibly. and sometimes pal
ace revolutions break out when
the rival dictators cannot toll
crate each other. 1t would
seem that big events are in
the offing.

BROWN
Criticism of KremIin Doesn't Alter Fact
That u. S. Reds Are Subversiye AGENTS

In referring to the weak
nesses which have developed
in the USSR and assumedly
compelled Nikita Khrushchev
to blast his former boss, the
revered Stain, Secretary
Dulles overlooked an important
fact.
The comrades outside the
Russian Empire, and partic-
ularly those outside the United
States, have been given the
opportunity to put socialist
sleeps clothing over the Com
munist wolf.
And this must not be taken
lightly. All Communist
laws in this country are based
on the fact that the American
Communists are under Mos
cows discipline and are, in
fact, nothing but subversive
agents of a foreign power
which intends to overthrow
our form of government by
any means, including subver-
sion and force.
Despite Communist deniaIs,
the Red intent on overthrow
has been proved many times
when hidden Communists were
brought into court. They were
proved to have passed on to
MVD agents all kinds of secret
military, diplomatic and sci
entif1c information.
Henceforth, we must be pre-
pared to face batteries of
lawyers supporting the Com
munists who will say to the
judges and juries: Il am not
subversive. What is the prose-
cution talking about? I am a
Marxist socialist who believes
in the rights of man and sup
ports state ownership of all
the economic resources Of the
nation to obtain a fairer divi-
sion of wealth."
Whether word has been re-
ceived from Moscow by Ameri-
can, French and Italian Com
munistS to adopt this new
position is as difficult to an
swer as the riddle of how the
KhruShchev speech before the
goth Communist Party Con-
gress got into the hands of
the American Government.
The Soviet leaders know how
to guard their secrets. There
are no Western shoppers in
Moscow capable of wrenching
from the Reds such an impor-
tant document as Khru-
shchek's four-hour speech de-
grading Stain.
The denunciation was not
made for home consumption.
Had this been the case Tass,

VulnerobIity Of Foreign Bases

One can argue that it need
not have been so, had more
political percipience been exer-
cised. But to ask for such wis
dom regarding the internal
affairs Of scores of countries,
with immensely differing his
tories, traditions, problems and
psychologists is to demand what
does not exist in the State De-
partment, the Pentagon andf
or the American business COM
munity that puts into practice
Government contracts-if in
deed, 1t exists anywhere.
American security cannot be
based on the gyrations Of
foreign internal politics. This
point, we greatly fear, will be
driven home by more than the
Iceland people.

On Home Accidents

The possibilities of instituting
a home accident prevention CAM
paign here are being studied by
the District Department Of Gen.
eral Administration.
Public Health Director Daniel
L. Seckinger recommended that
serious consideration be given to
a safety program. since an aver
age of 200 people every year are
killed in home accidents and an
estimated 10000 residents are
disabled either permanently or
partially.
Citing further statistics, DR..
Seckinger said an average of 40
children below the age Of 5 and
about 100 persons over IS are
killed this way every year.
The Health Director said a
preventive program involving
greater public education on care
in the home and widespread
public cooperation are essential
to the success Of the program.
