Problem of Authority Remains UnsoIyed
BY Any Principles of legitimacy

Probably nobody in history
ever set in course such world
wide changes as Stain did
merely by dying.
The long-range effects in
the Soviet Union are not vet
practicable. Can the present
variation of a Western cabinet
system continue indefinitely
without a broader democratic
base, or will another great
tyrant eventually emerge to re-
freeze the pattern?
Now that a thaw has set in.
can 1t be damned before be-
coming a flood threatening
the Communist Party itself?
What already have been the
effects on the satellite states?
How long can present tenden-
cies be allowed to continue
there and what would be the
effect of suppressing them?
How far can the West, led
by the United States, safely
modify a policy originally de-
vised to repel direct Soviet
military aggressions spurred
by Stain? To what extent is
the thaw in the Soviet Union
unfreezing Western military
alliances. and what new pol
icies are dictated by the
events?
In Washington, London and
Paris, leaders have been ask
ing themselves these questions,
without. so far, coming UP with
satisfactory answers. They are
feeling their way. But we may
assume that Moscow's leaders
also still are feeling their way,
and not without trepidation.
They are out to destroy the
cult Of personality" namely.
of one personality, the late and
unlamented J. v. S. But the
second world power has been
governed for nearly a genera
ton by the power of that cult;
by an omniscience. What au-
thority can successfully sup
plant omniscience? A collec-
ton of individuals, however
able. who until the passing Of
the titan were mere shadows
in background, outlined. If at
all, in the servile postures Of
lackeys?
For there was no resistance
movement to Stain in Russia
during his lifetime that with
his passing could. by historic
Judgment, claim the power
Bulganin. Khrushchev a. Co.'s
sole service to the Russian
future was to survive. They
did not emerge white haired
and haggard from mines and
labor camps TO represent the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-02

Soviet maneuvers of super
fetal friendship and good will
have hit the target.
Experts on the USSR are
wing with each other trying to
explain Bulganin and Khrush-
chew and the new Soviet
policies. The findings of the
experts produce a kind of ,po-
litical fruit salad in which
everyone can pick whatever he
likes best. Yet it is not a salts
flying meal.
The fact is that there may
be some people who can claim
to know Russia and detect the
political trends in that country.
But it is difficult for them to
follow the gyrations of its
leaders. These are first and
foremost Communists whose
main goal is the domination of
communism over the capitalist
or free enterprise world, and
only secondarily are they Rus
slams.
To the Russian leaders. the
USSR and her associates must
only serve as means to further
the feminist doctrines. This
happens to coincide with the
imperialistic aspirations of
Russia. The tactics to achieve
this goal could vary according
to circumstances. The pre-
sidium decided a few months
ago that Stain had muffed
the ball and his tactics have
resulted in a steeling of the
Western world against his
military aggressiveneSs. The
duumvirate in the Kremlin
decided that new tactics must
be adopted to lull the free ma
tons into a comfortable feel
ing of tranquility. And this is
being done.
The first mention of a sum-
NIT conference last year is to
be found in the March, 1855,
issue Of the New Times, a
Soviet weekly magazine pub
liShed in many languages. It
was in the same issue that
cultural exchanges between
the Western world and the
Soviets were first mentioned.

DAVID LAWRENCE

The name of Alben Bark
ley may be inscribed in the
Hall of Fame Of American
Politics as the man who was
penalized for his courage and
who thereby lost a chance to
be President Of the United
States.
Back in 1914. the then Sen
ator from Kentucky was the
majority leader of the Senate.
and the spokesman for Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
and the Democratic Party in
the Senate. There came a
moment when, after many
arduous weeks of work, he had
succeeded in getting through
the Senate tax bill which
on all sides was deemed fair
and constructive. But Roose-
welt, who was looking toward
the polls that year and was
carrying on a demagogic APP
peal about soaking the rich,"
didn't like the bill and, much
to the surprise of Congress,
vetoed it, Barley was stunned
by the action, which he viewed
as a reputation of what he
and other members of the
Democratic Party had worked
for.
Resigning the majority lead
ership as a means of ascer-
tanning whether the Senate
wanted his views or those of
the White House to prevail,
Barley was restored to the
leadership post by an over
whelming vote. The tax bill
itself was passed over the
Roosevelt veto. Up to this time,
Senator Barley had seemed
logical for the vice presidential
nomination.
But FDR never forgot Sena-
tor Barkley's defiance. When
the time came for the selec-
ton of a vice presidential
nominee at the Chicago con-
vention in the summer of 1914,
the word was passed around
that Roosevelt didn't favor
Barley. Everybody knew at

The Alexandria City Council

Natures Fast
BY JACK JONAS

The once-shrinking grease
paint violets of Arlington have
blossomed boldly during a
year of tribulation.
AS a result, a unique theater
group goes on the boards Fri
day with its first full-length
production.
It's the Teen Theater of the
Arlington County Department
of Recreation and Parks, born
in the fall a year ago and
believed the only one of its
kind in America.
1t has a rather shaky one
act play and a more popular
summer revue under its belt,
and its participants no longer
cringe at the prospect of
coming out on the stage in
front of all those people-in-
stead, they're eager for it.

and actors are teen-agers.

numbers about so, a long way
from the dozen who showed
up in the fall of 1855 when
Miss Jan Chreitzberg, the
Teen Theater's founder, and
Mrs. Marjorie Hopkins, the
Recreation Departm e n It's
supervisor of special events,
held the organization meet
ing.
When the two ladies made
a recount of potential acting
and technical talent, they
wound up with eight instead
of a dozen, because four had
"just come along with
friends"
There was enough, anyway,
to work up a one-act play
entitled Soap Opera" That
one was presented in a depart
ment store auditorium and at
two Arlington schools.
