Erosure Game in Moscow

believed in the "troika" pol
icy Of three leaders. How
ever, when Stain assumed
power with Zinoviev and
Kamenev, he worked with
the other two only until he
felt strong enough to dump
them and expel them from
the party.
In 1890, when Stain had
solidified his power, a So
year-old Communist named
Khrushchev was in his Sec
ond year of studies at the
Industrial Academy in Mos
COW.
KHRUSHCHEV also as
sumed power under the "troi-
ka" system of three leaders,
and, In time, ordered his CO.
leaders from the Kremlin in
disgrace. He has not the
absolute power assumed by
Stain, but he is as close to
being the monolithoic head
of the world of communism
as he wants to be.
Since 1856, Comrade Khru-
shchev has spent his time
in three great tasks: Cd fur
thering the goal Of commu-
nism to dominate the world
by threatening a holocaust;
(2) building Soviet military
power and accelerating eco
nomic growth at home; 90
disgracing the name of his
predecessor, Stain.
He has achieved the third
goal. The other two will re-
quire more time than Khru-
shchev has. The harshness
of the Soviet system impels
one to wonder if, somewhere
in the Moscow schools, there
isn't a young man who will
someday erase the name oi
Khfushchev ? from history.

At Potsdam In 1945, Win
ston Churchill asked Joseph
Satin how many millions of
Russians he had to kill to
solidify his regime. Stain
grinned shyly under his black
mustache and held up three
pudgy fingers. Eight years
later, Stain died.
ONE OF THE MEN he
overlooked in his purge was.
the head Of the local Moscow
Party, Nikita Khrushchev.
Stain permitted the stout,
energetic little man to live,
and now Nikita has removed
Stains body from a place of
state beside that Of Nikolai
Lenin, in Red Square.
I was in East Berlin in
August. There is a huge
bronze statue of Stain op-
poSite the Sportspalast on
Stalinallee. The name had
been removed from the
statue. ] would guess that
the statue will go next and,
after that, the street will be
renamed Leninallee or Khru-
shchevallee. Stalingrad will
be renamed. So will Stalino.
The Communists will try
to expunge the name Of
Stain from the pages of his
tory, but the stain will re-
main. This man assumed
power in 1924. and relin-
quished it in death in 1858,
and these were the formative
years for the Union of So
Wet Socialistic Republics. 1t
was a weak baby when Stain
walked into the Kremlin and
it was a terrifying monster
when he left.
He was the father of the
cooperative farms. the iron
discipline Of the party, the
Vishinsky purge trials = of
1886, he bought time for his
country by negotiating a
treaty with Adolf Hitler, and
he led his nation into battle
against Hitler and lived to
see victory.
For this, he was buried in
hallowed ground in Red
Square. His body was en-
balmed by some secret proc
ess of chemistry which in
sured that he and his
companion-in-death, Lenin
would still look good long
after their successors were
dead.
Over the mausoleum the
names "Lenin" and Stain"
were engraved in dark labra-
dorite rock. On top of the
mausoleum is the big review
ing stand from which Soviet
leSIers watch their country

a genuine admiration for his

recital given by a Spanish
virtuoso.
It was a brilliant perform

friend exclaimed:
Isn't he just great,
George?"

composer. "a Spanish

QUESTION: AS a young
newspaper man, H. L.
Mencken was sent by his edi-
tor to interview a famous
author.
"It won't be easy to get
him to talk" said the edi-
tor. Hes pretty close
mouthed, you know, and he's
a hypochondriac. too"
Mencken returned later in
the day with his pockets
crammed with notes. The
editor was lost in admiration.
How did you get him to
say all that?" he gasped.

Mencken. "All said to him

Anthony Chanaka, who has
enjoyed a well-deserved repu-
tation in and about Washington
for the last several years as
pianist, teacher and accompan-
ist, played a program Of fresh
and interesting music at yes
terday afternoons Phillips Gal
lery recital.
The program began with a
suite for piano composed in
1881 by Nicolas Nabokoff, set
ting forth impressions of five
aspects of Don Quixote. Ac-
tually, I prefer the book, hut
some parts of the piece were
charming in a kind Of des-
perate, neo-Rachmaninoff style.
Only rarely does music by
Clement appear on recital
programs, although this man
in his day was Mozart's most
formidable rival as a pianist,
and his sonatinaS and studies
are almost universally used to
this day in teaching. The So
nata Mr.. Chanaka played is an
old-fashiened virtuoso piece, in
which the slow introduction to
the first movement and the
entire slow movement lend a
certain elegaic charm. The,
performance was interesting
and sound, but lacked a bit Of
the steel-fingered clarity in
scale passages and other "trip,
perios that the piece demands.t
The best playing of the after
noon came in the lively, bit-
tersweet little sonata by Waltep
S. Hartley, a composer wen
known in Washington. It was
played with just the right sort
Of subtle suggestion. The key
ooard, the pedals and the
musical ideas were well under
control. 8,
The program closed with a
rarely played early set cf vari-
ationS by Brahms. These are
of interest chiefly in pointing,
the direction to some Of,
Brahms later works, but they.
provide an excellent substitute,
for the more standard fare.
Mr.. Chanaka has the gift Of
being able to suggest more
than he actually achieves IN
performance. This is a well
come change to me. 1 frequently
go to piano recitals that ham
mer home a point that
shouldn't be made IN the first
place, and then clinch all the

appreciative.

FHA Insurance
Cut Considered
BY the Associated Press

The Kennedy administration
is seriously considering q so
per cent cut in the insurance
premium on FILA mortgages.
Such a cut would tend to lower
all mortgage rates.
While the proposal is being
discussed currently, the admin
iStration might not make any
recommendation until next
year. Congress would have to
approve any change.
The Treasury, it was learned
today, has looked at both sides
Of the question and tends to
favor a reduction. However, the
Federal Housing Administra-
tion is not yet fully convinced
such a move would be wise at
this time.

One hundred thirty-two
prominent judges. attorneys
and law professors have
charged the Kennedy admin
istration with violating Amer
ican neutrality laws and inter-
national treaties in regard to
Cuba.
They have sent a long Pc
tition and brief to President
Kennedy and Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy citing chap
ter and verse of laws they say
were violated in the Inflated
Cuban invasion Of April II.
Signers Of the open letter in
clude Arthur Larson, former
special assistant to President
Eisenhower and now associated
with Duke University's inter-
national law division, and five
members of the Yale Law
School faculty.
The petition makes two pri-
mary points:
/. American tolerance Of an
exile Revolutionary Council
in this country organized to
overthrow the Cuban govern
ment and carrying on military
recruiting here violated neu-
trality laws dating back to
1918, since the United States
is at peace with Cuba.
2. American governmental
assistance to these exile activi-
ties is a breach Of inter-Ameri-
can treaties and international
law.
Rely on Press Reports
For proof the lawyers rely
almost entirely on widespread
reports in the American press
about exile activities here,
stating:
"We know of no reason why
the press of our country should
misinform the American public
and repeat daily matters OF
such grave import unless the

ferred to. stand on my state
ment and Mr.. Salinger's reply
does not state the situation ac-
cording to my information,
which I am satisfied is entirely

Again Senator Scott de-
clined to identify his informant
but said the newsman was on
the scene in Florida when the
matter occurred"
Senator Scott, in addition to
the Kennedy -Khrushchev story,
also discussed another situa-
ton.
A month earlier, he said, a
at the Key West, Fla,
between Kennedy and
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan said Mr.. Salinger
set up a press briefing by
Charles E. Bohlen, State De-
partment expert on Russian af-
fairs.
Senator Scott added:
Some Of the regular White
House correspondents we're ex-
cluded. obviously because their
papers were not 100 per cent
behind the administration,
this reporter said. Later. when
these newsmen protested, Sal
niger said there had not been
any briefing."
Senator Scott told the
broadcasters he would strongly
oppose the administrations
proposed reorganization Of the
Federal Communications Com
mission sought by Chairman
Newton Minnow.
Mr.. Ninnow has been critical
Of the type Of programs being
