Siderabl publicity.
At the time, league officials
said they sought a test of the
United States Supreme Courts
contention that the States 81
year-old anti-contraceptive law
was a nullity.
That opinion was the basis
for the high courts refusal in
June to rule on the constitu-

the court said. ignored by Con-
necticut residents and law en-
forcement officials alike.
The law prohibits persons
from using drugs or devices to
prevent conception. A second
law, which would affect the
staff of the birth control clinics,
makes anyone who counsels the
breaking Of a law liable for
the same punishment as the
principal offender.
In the case of the anti-con-
traceptive law, violatorS may
be fined at least $50, imprisoned
for not less than so days or
more than a year, or both.

whole Polish gold reserve all
the way to Paris.
He remained in Paris until
the Germans already oc-

served on Eisenhower's staff

He meant to use it, too. And

Europeans See U. S. Rejection, In Favor
OF Lower Level Talks, as Only Answer

ROME - Diplomats and
political men In continental
Europe are hoping that Presi-
dent Kennedy win refuse to
meet Premier KhrushcheV.
All negotiations and "agree-
ments," they say. should be
at lower levels. They see this
as the only possible answer
to Mr.. Khrushchev's flouting
of world pleas not to unleash
the Superbomb.
From the practical point of
view, say these experienced
men. such q slap in the Red
masters face would have q
strong reaction in Russia as
well as in some Of the satel-
lites. For, according to recent
intelligence, the bomb was
not only intended to terrorize
the free world into submis-
sion but also to consolidate
the dictator's position in the
USSR.

Khrushchev's position has

he had to do something spec
tacular against the growing
opposition to his personal
rule. The offensive In East
Berlin did not affect his in
ternal opposition nearly as
much as it affected the West

discomfort in the USSR-a

The growing restlesSness

ascribed to two causes. First,
the fear that Comrade Khru-
shchev would lead the coun-
try and communism down the
path to destruction. And
second, the growing impati-
ence Of the Russian people
with their almost complete
lack Of consumer goods.
A purge Of the old elements
would take care Of the former

Russian internal propaganda
has been releasing stories
that the real victor at Stalin-
grad was not Marshal Zhukov
or any Of the generals leading
the Russian forces but Maj.
Gen. Nikita Khrushchev who
combined his genius Of poll
tical commissar with that Of
grand strategist. But there
were few takers. Stain and
his marshals remained the
heroes Of the people.
Before the meeting Of the
22d Communist Congress the
downgrading Of the shelved
but apparently still popular
Marshal Zhukov began. As
Secretary Of Defense. he was
accused Of having neglected
construction Of atomic sub
marines because "he was Just
an ignorant lout; q soldier
Of the days Of sabre and bay
onet charges" Meanwhile, the
official propaganda In the
press and radio went on to
say, Thank God for Com
rade Nikita Sergeivich Khru-
shchev. He saw the blunder
of that superannuated boor,
kicked him out and started
the construction Of atomic
submarines.
"Nikita Sergeivich Khru-
shchev Is the father of our
most modern and powerful
atomic submarine fleet big
ger than Americas"
1t Is reported from Russia
and the satellite countries
that Mr.. Khrushchev had in
tended to make q spectacular
case against Marshal Zhukov
and bring him to trial. But
apparently the tough old field
marshal was not willing to
admit his mistakes" and
shout inca culpa" but was
determined to fight. And so
zhukov was left alone for the
time being.
Then as soon as the 22d
Congress opened Mr.. Khru-
shchev attacked the old
former president Of the
USSR, Marshal Klementi Vo-
roshilov, who also had distin-
guished himself in the last
war. Mr.. Khrushchev hates
Marshal VoroShilov poison
ously because he almost got
him fired in the spring Of
1857.

KhruShchev team was run
