Russian pressure forced Syria
to change its mind and refuse
mediation Of the dispute with
Turkey by King Saud Of Saudi
Arabia, diplomatic officials re-
ported today.
Sergei Nemchina. the Soviet
Ambassador TO Syria, called on
Syrian government officials
three times ON October n. &C
cording to these sources, and
warned them that II mediation
was permitted to proceed Syria
would lose its chance In the
United Nations General Assem-
bly, to expose Its enemies.
Syria then reversed its earlier
decision and declared 1t would
refuse King Saud's mediation
offer. according to this infor-
nation.
The Russian Ambassadors
visits took place the day after
the King returned from Leba-
non and Saudi Arabia an
nounced that Turkey and Syria
both had agreed to mediate.

.Syrio Mediation Refusal
Laid to Red Pressure

Mr.. Nemchina succeeded in
pressuring the Syrians. who
denied they had ever agreed
to mediate. They asked King
Saud to withdraw his media
ton offer. but he refused. There
were reports Saturday. not COM
pletely confirmed. that Saud
finally had acceded and backed
down from his mediation offer.
Syria reversed its earlier de-
cision 10 mediate against the
advice Of Egypt. according to
diplomatic circles. Egyptians
advised the Syrians TO go aheai
and mediate since they already
had accepted Saud's proposal.
Diplomatic sources said the
reversal shows that Russia Is
calling the shots In Syrian
policy. They commented that
Russia wanted to prevent settle
ment Of the Turkish Syrian
crisis. because that would
hamper Soviet efforts to create
instability and fear Of the West
in the Middle East through
propaganda.
Diplomatic sources did not
know which Syrian officials the
Russian Ambassador pressured.
There have been reports that
Saud's mediation offer was ac-
cepted by Syria's president who
later was over-ruled by the
Syrian cabinet.

Zhukov Shift Is Seen
Tightening Party Rule
.Khrushchey
Seems Firm
In Control
By ROY EssoYAN


Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
MOSCOW. Oct. 28.-west-
erners expressed belief today
Marshal Georgi X. Zhukov has
been downgraded in q Com
munist Party move to assert
its fun authority over the
armed forces. Some observers
said Marshal Zhukov might
be shunted on to a political
job. leaving Nikita Khrushchev
as the unchalIenged big boss
Of Soviet domestic and foreign
policies.
The curt announcement Sat-
urday that Marshal Zhukov
was relieved" as Defense Min
lister created the impression
among Western observers In
Moscow that the Russian war
hero was being shunted aside,
whatever new position he might
get.
Much speculation conferred
about the possibility that Mar
shall Zhukov would turn up
soon in the post Of q first
deputy premier. While this
would be q respectfully high
government position. it would
give him little real authority.
Deputy Premier Mentioned
Correspondents found 1t easy
to clear with the censors a pre-
diction that Mashal Zhukov
would be divorced from the
armed forces and be appointed
. first deputy premier.
The Soviet government for
merly had a number Of FIRST
deputy premiers." but at the
moment it has none. Two of
the three men fired from their
high posts in the "antiparty
group" purge last summer held
that rank in the government:
w. NJ. Molotov and L. M.
Kaganovich. Georgi Malenkov
was only a deputy premier-not
. first deputy.
PraEda. ofiicial newspaper Of
the Communist Party. sharply
reminded its readers today that
| the unity OF the Communist
Party must be considered ''in-
destructible."
Same words in June
The title Of the editorial,
'IndestructibIe Unity of Party
land People" was exactly the
same Is the editorial used last
June to explain to party
readers the reasons for the
antiparty purge.
This editorial was the near
est approach to official COM
ment on the replacement Of
Marshal Zhukov by Marshal
Rodion Y. Malinovsky.
The announcement and the
editorial comment left Western
diplomats here with the i'm
preston that regardless Of
whether Marshal Zhukov gets
another high-sounding job,
Party Boss Khrushchev's au-
thority in the Kremlin has
been strongly nailed down.
Pravda stressed that the
Communist Party has no other
interests beside the interests
Of the people" adding that the
population always has trusted
and supported party policy.
Whatever the Communist
leadership decides, the party
newspaper said, gets automatic
support from the people.
This probably means the
party expects total support not
only for its domestic course.
but for its foreign policy as
wei. and there is a good possi-
bility Marshal zhukov and Mr..
Khrushchev did not see eye
to eve on foreign policy.
