By the Associated Press

The State Department last
night published l8 Soviet docu-
ments. most of them still secret
in the Soviet Union, showing
that WI. Lenin once scathingly
denounced the "rascality" of
Russian Communists in dealing
with non-Russisn peoples en-
braced in the Soviet system.
His criticism hit the late Jo-
seph Stain. among others, for
mishandling the problem of
bringing the territory of Georgia
under full Moscow control in the
early days of Red consolidation
Of power.
The views of Lenin, the first
leader of Soviet communism, on
the nationality issue were de-
Scribed by officials here as hav-
ing potentially great significance
today because Of their possible
impact on the policies of the
present Soviet regime.
In denouncing Stain, the
present Red Party boss, Nikita
Khrushchev, has gone back to
Lenin for historical authority to
Justify his course. Therefore
anything which Lenin wrote on
an issue still current may give a
lead as to future policies of the
present Soviet regime or may be
used as criticism when such poll
cies fail to follow Lenin's teach
ings.
Pertinent in Two Respects
The nationality issue is peril
nent in two respects now. About
half Of the present population of
the Soviet Union is made up Of
non-Russian peoples. In addi-
ton Soviet Russian domination
has been extended over the coun-
tries Of Eastern Europe since
World War II and exercised in
a manner which has led to such
riotous protests as that of last
Thursday in Poznan, Poland.
The documents released last
night we're obtained from a CON
fidential source" the State De-
partment said. They were pub
lished at this time because one

testament" in which he pro-
posed Stains custer as secretary

own livelihood.
And practically every man
woman and child in the country
are dependent on the industry
output in some way-from the
electric coasters in their kitchens
to the gasoline in their automo-
biles.
Associated Industries Hit
Some associated industries
will be hard hit Immediately.
Construction already has been
beset by shortages in structural
steel and heavy plate steel neces-
sary for building and highway
work.
The big oil industry, too. is in
the same spot. 1t has a very
small inventory and some COM
panies have halted new well
drilling.
Railroads will lose millions in
revenue gained from hauling
steel and allied products.
There was no hope for the
Government to move into the
situation.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
said it is maintaining strictly
hands off-barring a strike oil
great length. In that case, the
Taft-Hartley law might be in
voked.
Industry sources said the strike
would halt about 80 per cent Of
the country's steel production
The other 10 per cent is pro-
duced by steel unions having
contracts expiring at later dates
or not affiliated with the ALL
CLIO.
1t was estimated that the pro-
duction loss each week of the
strike would be 100000 tons
worth S273,OOO,OOO at current
prices.
Issues Clear
The issues in the case were
clear.
The union wanted Sub
stantial" pay boost and numer-
GUS other benefits.
The companies wanted a con-

body seemed to enjoy both types

The biggest moment Of the
show was reserved for what
might be called a spontaneous
encore. The Condor organiza-
ton asked the conductor of the
sym p hony, an accomplished
trumpeter, to join them in a
session.
Mr.. Geisler picked Sweet Sue"
as a hot and recent number on
which to improvise, and the
crowd burst into a veritable
frenzy of acclaim. both before
he blew a note and after he had
finished. 1t is not surprising
that Lloyd Geisler is applauded
after a solo, his warm reception
last night before his number

the result Of delight in seeing a

Mr.. Geisler chose "Honeysuckle

Senate TakesUp
Gas Bill Monday
BY the associated Press

Cautious claims of victory
came today from both sides as
the Senate headed toward a
bitter fight over the natural gas
bill.
Il am moderately optimistic, u
said Senator Monroney, Demo-
crat of Oklahoma. who will be
the floor manager for the bill.
Senator Douglas. Democrat OF
Illinois, predicted. on the other
hand, that the opposition would
pick up enough strength during
debate to win out in the end.
The controversial measure
which would knock out Federal
controls over the price at the
we'll of gas destined for inter-
State commerce. is scheduled to
come up in the Senate Monday.
The House passed it last year by
a 209-2O3 vote.
Senator Monroney said sup
porters appear to have a slight
majority" right now in the
Senate. He said he thought they
would gain additional strength
as undecided Senators are
shown the spread between rates
received by producers and the
city delivery rates to consumers.
Many votes, he said. may be
changed on the floor in favor of
the legislation.
But Senator Douglas sees the
lineup at the moment as about
even," with the opposition grow
ing stronger as debate progress
es. He contends passage Of the
bill would result in an increase
of about 10 cents a thousand
cubic feet in the cost to con-
