perviSe. but the public doesn't
know everything that goes on.
(In the first place. the press is
Communist; and in the Sec
ond place, top party meetings
will remain private, Gomulka
says, until all his enemies start
holding their meetings in pub
lic.)
How can any group Of men
holding tremendous power po-
lice themselves?
Gomulka, who is a tough
realist, knows all thoese prob
lens, but he Is still determined
to make his program work. But
one wonders what will happen
when he decides the party is
not remaining pure and could
benefit from some old-fash-
Toned Communist purging.
GOmulka's Innovation
So much for the party, it
self. What innovation has
Gomulka introduced into the
old institution Of dictatorship?
Carl j. Friedrich and Zbig-
NEW K. Brzezinski, in their re-
cent book "Totalitarian Dicta-
torship and Autocracy" say
there are six essential elements
to a dictatorship: an theology.
a single party, terror police, a
communications monopoly, a
weapons monopoly and a CEN
trally directed economy.
What is Gomulka doing with
these ingredients?
The theology is certainly
there. Marx and Engels and
Lenin and Mao and Tito and
Gomulka himself provide more
than enough for any dicta-
torship.
The single party ingredient
has been diluted, however. The
Communists nominally share
power with two other parties
"a peasant party and a
democratic party. These
parties are supposed to be dom
mated by the Communists and
faithful to the Communist line,
but they have IN fact been act
ing more and more independ-
emily.
They still have the basic Red
line, but they emphasize diff
ferent facets, and they try in
small ways now to go their own
ways.
Sharing Of Power
The Communists actually
share power with two broad
groups: Catholics and peasants.
The Catholics have the church
organization which at present
tolerates the Communists in
exchange for religious freedom
and national stability. But re-
cent Gomulka moves to sup
press official church opposition

Will Be Tried

LOS ANGELES. July 80 (Pl.
A compromise agreement in
the criminal libel case against
Confidential Magazine was
turned down yesterday by the
court and the trial will begin
Friday.
The proposed settlement,
worked out by the prosecution
and defense, provided:
l. Confidential and its sistVr
publications. Whisper, would
stop printing smear articles
about celebrities.
2. The guilt or innocence of
the magazines and other COR
porate defendants would be
decided on the basis Of the
transcript Of the grand Jury
hearing in which they were
indicted.
3. Charges against individual
defendants Fred and Marjorie
Meade. accused Of funneling
information about Hollywood
figures to Confidential, would
be dismissed.
The proposal was presented
to the court by Clarence Linn.
chief assistant to the State
Attorney General, and agreed
to by Arthur j. Crowley, at
torney for the Meades.
Mr.. Linn and Mr.. Crowley
said a long trial involving
scores of leading Hollywood
personalities was in prospect
if the settlement was not &C
cepted. Mr.. Crowley estimated
the trial would last six months.
Superior Court Judge Her.

think sufficient reason had
been given for dismissing the
indictments against the Meades,

to a pseudo Catholic group
(called Pax set up by the
Reds has made the Catholic
hierarchy angry-all the way
to Rome.
The church is powerful in
Poland, and its working agree
ment with the party is not
necessarily permanent.
The other group which in
fact shares power is the peasant
bloc which tends more and
more to become a real force.
The peasants-who alone pro-
vide Poland with a Communist
hating majority-already can
influence the Communist Party.
So Gomulka has introduced
a new feature into his dictator
ship: A sharing of some power
with other parties.
Terror Reputedly Banned
The terror police have, Poles
assume, been abandoned. Poles
act and talk as if there were
no secret police or torture
chambers. Certainly, neither is
apparent in Poland today.
GOmulka saws there will be no
more terror.
But can a dictatorship be run
without one?
The communications monop-
oily is. to a large degree, MAIN
tanned. No one can publish
without Communist permission,
and editors know they cannot
criticise the Soviet Union or
urge alternatives to Communist
rule. Some publications do come
in from the West, but lack
of foreign exchange and prob
lens of distribution and Ian
guage keep these magazines
and newspapers out of the
hands of the vast majority of
Poles. The people can, how
ever, listen to foreign, Polish
language broadcasts.
The weapons monopoly is
maintained. Poles who have
guns are vastly outnumbered
by Polish police and, soldiers
and by Russian troops in the
country and just over the
border.
The centrally directed econ
omy is a reality. Gomulka talks
about decentralization, but
Warsaw would always, of course,
keep tight rein on the party
workers in the country.
So Gomulka's new kind Of
dictatorship of the proletariat
has done away with terror po-
lice and has conceded some
ground on the single party. Can
he hold the dictatorship to-
gether without those ingre-
dents?
Poland is entering the make
or-break phase in its expert
ment. An increasingly skepti-

Lost Of a Series


other Communists have run
their countries wrong; that
proper application Of Marks
dogma will produce a kind of
party people can like and a
kind Of dictatorship that is
good for them.
It has never been done before
in the Communist world. But
II 1t can be done, Poland is the
country and Gomulka is the
man for it.
Poland is the right spot for
the experiment. because the
people here will, at least for
the present, go along voluntar-
lily Tin preference to being
slaughtered by Russian troops
And Gomulka is the man, be-
cause he has a program which
is about as good as any real
Communist could offer and be-
cause his personal prestige is
about as high as any real Com
munist'S could be.
GOmulka's Program
What is Gomulka trying to
do that Is new?
First, the party:
Gomulka wants the Polish
Communist Party to be every
thing other Communist parties
are. plus three things. The
party must also, he says, be
internally democratic, legal and
open.
The ma ority must rule with
in the party. Elections to party
posts must be democratic. Dis
cussion must be free. Decisions
must be made only after full
discussion and q vote. There
must be party rules of pro-
cedure, and all members, from
Gomulka on down, must obey
them. Discussion and decisions
must be public.
This is quite q departure
from the standard Communist
Party where the top man or
clique makes the decision in
private, and the others must
fall into line.
Second, the dictatorship:
Gomulka agrees with other
Communist bosses that the
party must run the country as
a dictatorship, but he insists
the Polish party must genuinely
earn broad public support and
that 1t must share some Of the
power with other groups.
Neither Tito nor Mao would 60
this far. Nor would hiStory's
other successful dictators.
Different Kind Of Red
Where did Gomulka get his
new ideas?
One has to speculate, because
Gomulka does not analyze his
own thought processes in public.
But apparently he always has
been a different sort Of Com
munist. He has thought the
Polish Communist Party should
do things its own way. In his
lifetime as a party worker he
frequently knuckled under to
the Kremlin. but he defied the
Soviet Union often enough to
go to jail for it.
He didn't want to be spec
tacularly more democratic than
the Russians. just more Polish
more nationalistic. more
flexible.
Perhaps during his years in
jail he also came to believe that
forced communication just
didn't work. And to be popular
they had to be democratic
within limits.
Gomulka has been fighting
the class struggle" as the Com
munists call their revolutionary
work. since he was a boy of IA
In 1919. He helped organize
workers groups and in general
agitated and organized until
the war started. He was in and
out Of numerous capitalistic
jails in that period.
With the war he began to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-30

fight in the Communist under
ground for Poland and for the
Soviet Union. People in Poland
today credit him with putting
Poland first whenever he could.
Most Communists during the
war did not.
He became quite a party and
government wheel after the
war, rising to the post Of
Deputy Premier before his fall.
He Outlived Stain
Gomulka was tough enough
and lucky enough to outlive
Stain. The death Of Stain
meant that the planned death
of Gomulka would not take
place.
And it meant that when the
Poznan workers rioted, the party
could revive Gomulka and tell
the country. Here is a Com
munist leader you can like and
trust" He also was a leader
with a program, and the pro-
gram fit perfectly the condi-
tons Of last october.
Poland had to stay Commu-
mist to escape the fate of Hun
gary. But the workers and
peasants had to be appeased.
Gomulka was ready to handle
the Soviet Union and give some
freedom to the people. Other
liberal party leaders in Poland
had been moving in the same
direction ever since Stain died,
so it all fell in together.
Gumulka was brought to
power. He defled the Soviet
Union. He pleased the workers.
He reshaped the party.
The experiment was on.
Problem Of Purity
Obviously there are troubles.
Contrary to what Marx said,
even Communists are human.
Party members and their
friends still seek and get special,
secret privileges. This reporter
stumbled on q country chateau,
for instance, where party on
cials and sycophants can vaca-
ton like the old Polish aristo-
Gratis in luxurious surroundings,
waited on by a staff Of servants.
The public does not know about
this almost royal retreat. and
the party apparently is not
anxious to tell them.
How can q group that accepts
secret bourgeois" privileges
keep pure?
Polish communism also is
plagued by factionalism. In a
recent meeting Of the Warsaw
party branch, the comrades ex-
horted each other to stick to-
gether and quit quarreling. But
when the Communists are not
under compulsion to be mono
lithic, they bicker and organ
ize factions as do all other hui
man beings.
The two biggest factions are
the conservatives, who believe
Gomulka wants too much
democracy. and the liberals who
like the Gomulka line. The
conservatives have the num-
bers. the liberals the prestige
land Gomulka). So far the
liberals have steadily CONSOLE
dated their position.
But how can factional party
lead the people with one voice?
Some Want to Use Force
Party workers also find it
hard to lead from in front. In
the old days they were behind
the people. pushing them on
with blows and threats. Now
they are out front saying fol-
low U.S." Too often they look
back and find no one is follow
ing.
The conservatives want to use
force again. Gomulka says the
party must work harder and be
Fighter.
But can the carrot work eff
fectively without the stick in q
country where Communists are
disliked?
The party also suffers from
lack of checks and balances.
The public is supposed to su-
