officials would like to know
great deal more about what
goes On In the Kremlin thar
they do. But the best informa-
ton they can get Is "highly
speculative"
That. at least, was the phrase
used by Mr.. Eisenhower yester.
day when he was asked at Q
news conference whether he
was satisfied with intelligence
estimates he had received on
the status of Marshal Georgi
zhukov In Soviet ruling circles
He said some weeks age
that Marshal zhukov's position
had appeared TO be greatly
strengthened.
The removal of Marshal
Zhukov from his job as Defense
Minister last Saturday caught
the United States Government
by surprise and without any
very good guess as to what was
going on. Only after Soviet
Communist Party Boss Khru-
shchev spoke Tuesday Of find-
ing a new assignment for
Marshal zhukov was 1t clear To
authorities here that zhukov
had been downgraded.
Reasons Speculative
They still do not really know
why. although the guessing is
that he was removed by Mr..
Khrushchev in some kind OF
power struggle. possibly over
political control of the Red
army.
Mr.. Eisenhower said that
ANY effort to penetrate the
Soviet mind, or at least the
mind OF the Kremlin to deter
mine their reasons for doing
anything. is highly speculative.

Intelligence experts make q
sharp distinction between facts
bearing on the capability OF
another country to do some
thing and those bearing on Its
plans or intentions. Thus be-
