Over Trucking Abuses

relating to real estate transac-
tons in the Boston area.
This will be a public hearing
unless the subcommittee grants
a possible request by Mr..
Goldfine, gift-giving friend of
former Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams. that it be held
in closed session. The appear
arce of Mr.. Goldfine results
from a one-year jail sentence
and 81 1000 fine imposed on him
in District Court here last
August on a contempt of Con-
greSS charge growing out Of his
refusal to answer the subcom-
mittee questions.

day hearing is that opportun-
ity.
Subcommittee Chairman n
Harris, Democrat of Arkansas,
said he does not know wheth-
erer Mr.. Goldfine intends to
answer or whether all the an
swers will be satisfactory. The
chairman indicated he believes
the answers will be forthcom-
ing and the hearing brief. The
subcommittee wants data par
ticularly to determine wheth-
er the Securities and Exchsnge
Commission was on the Job.
Closed Session
The subcommittee then will
go into closed session late

cuss other matters, especially
material obtained by staff in

ola problem. 1t also will con-
slider possible legislative rec
concentrations to the House.

may decide this week whether
to go ahead with a full-scale
investigation of payola.

able information from many
sources. but is not yet in a po-
sition to say whether it should
explore the matter thoroughly

Russian Calls
Khrushchev
Grdvedigger'
By EARL H. vOSS
star stan Writer

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
wiz probably go down in his
tory as the "gravedigger" of the
Communist regime in Russia,
in the Judgment of a former
colleague now considered the
outstanding Soviet emigre au-
thority on Stalinism.
Abdurakhman Avtorkhanov,
who moved in the highest Boil
shevik circles at the time Josef
Stain was graSping power in
the Soviet Union. believes with
Molotov and Kaganovich that
Khrushchev'S discrimination
campaign will lead to suicide. I"
This is the most startling
conclusion in Mr.. Avtorkha-
nov's new book. stain and the
Soviet Communist Party, A
Study in the Technology Of
Power" to be published tomor-
row by Frederick A. Praeger,
Inc. for the Institute for the
study of the USSR.
New Material in Book
Governmental and private
experts say it contains some of
the most valuable material
ever published on the Stain
period. The author presents in
side detail and anecdotes new
er printed before on Stains
grisly ascent to the Soviet die
tatorship and on the various
abortive attempts to topple
him.
Mr.. Avtorkhanov believes
that when Mr.. Khrushchev split
with Molotov, Kaganovich,
Malenkov and others on Soviet
tactics in the post-Stalin era,
his foes were more correct than
he. MIR. Avtorkanov predicts, in
effect, the overthrow of the
Red regime although he offers
no suggestion about a replace
ment.
Here are excerpts from his
conclusions:
"The Molotov group saw far
ther and deeper than Khru-
shchev into the consequences
of Khrushchev's campaign
against the Stalinist inheri-
tance. They understood only
too well that the present
regime in the USSR could con-
tinue only as Stalinist regime
or perish altogether. 1t could
and must be corrected and
modernized. but its basic
methods could not be subjected
to revision ID. Any criticism of
the Stalinist system and par
ticularly of the Stalinist meth
DDS would lead to suicide. In
short, men compelled by the
very nature Of the regime to
rule as Stain did could not,
the Molotov group believed,
condemn Stalin's methods.
Saw New Political Life
"The inner motive of the
'anti-party activities on the
part of Molotov's group seems
to have been not a lust for
power tthey had enough pow
err. but a well-founded fear
that the regime would collapse.
In Khrushchev they saw the
most likely grave-digger of the
regime.
"Khrushchev's political ex-
perlence suggests that this new
chapter may turn out to be the,
last in the over-long history
of the regime. So thought Molo-
tov and Kaganovich; and it is
also my view"
The author presents new
detail on the incredible Stall
mist purges and the factions
contending for power at the
time. A sympathizer with
Bukharin's group, Mr.. Avtork-
hanov looks back on a series of
opportunities missed by the
other Bolshevik leaders to oust
Stain.
Khrushchev's swift rise was
attributable, Mr.. Avtorkhanov
reports. to his association with
Stalin's wife. They attended a
theoretical school together.
khrushchev was invited into
Stains home through this ac-
quaintenceship and became a
protege of Stain.

Coin Mining
Sets Record
By the Associated Pres

Christmas shoppers can be
sure of plenty of change this
season. A record-breaking 2
billion new coins have been
placed IN circulation this year.
This puzzles William H.
Brett. director of the Bureau
Of the Mint.
That is SO per cent more
than the average number of
new coins added to circulation
in the last five years." he says
"Why2 We all have our theo-
ries here. But nobody knows for
sure"
On Job Five Years
Mr.. Brett. who formerly
manufactured plumbing fix
lures in Alliance and Cleve-
land. Ohio. became the top coin
man in the country in 1854.
Since then, the mints have
stamped out close to 8 billion
pennies. nickels, dimes, quar-
ters and halves.
/ Mr.. Brett says there may be
some doubt why Americans
need so many more new coins
this year, but little question
why coins in general are get
ting so popular.
For one thing, he notes,
there has been a terrific in
crease in the use of vending
machines and parking meters
Also there has been the great
expansion in suburban shop
ping centers.
Corner Grocery Gone
THE old corner grocery store
where you paid your bills once
a week, is gone," he says. Nov
in the supermsrket, it's al
cash"
Mr.. Brett also has found that
certain cities favor particular
coins. New York likes hall
dollars. Baltimore goes fol
nickels. Washington is a dime
town.
I'VE take an armored carload
Of half dollars out of New York
every month, and they roll
right back in" says Mr.. Brett.
