Khrushchev’* Future
chev has enlarged,his power by adding the
Soviet premiership to his already strong
role as boss of the Russian Communist
parti-. It is still not certain that he has
the inherent strength to •climb the heights
v Stalin' ascended.' '■ j
Russian society has conflicting ele-
ments — the government and managerial
class, the party ruling clique, the army,
and sometimes the secret -police. • *•
When Stalin took command of both
the government and the party, as Khrush-
chev has now done, he employed two de-
vices to make his iron control complete.
One was a small, tight 'S-uling group in
the highest reaches of government, which
was in fact above both government and
party. The other was the secret police.
Khrushchev may imagine that eventu-
ally he can do the same. But it will take
time, if if can be brought qff at all. For
he himself helped to cruesh the authority
of the secret police under the late Lavrenti
Beria. And an effective ruling group such
as Stalin had cannot be fashioned over-
night.
Meantime, as some specialists on Rus-
sia see it. there is danger for K hrushchev
in his dual role. •- ’
He can hardly devote as rpuch time to
vital- party affairs as he formerly did.
When he names a second in command, as
he almost certainly must. He may be forg-
ing a weapon that one day could be used
against him.
Furthermore, by moving into the gov-
ernment realm himself, he assigns new'
strength to that element in its competi-
tion with the party for supremacy. The
two have been in hot conflict at many
places in recent months.
Indeed. Khrushchev m ay believe that
his blending of the two in his own person
may possibly help to resolve some of these
differences. But some ex pert opinion in
this country suggests that ultimately the
result may be just the reverse.
Both government and the party may be
.stronger—against Khrushc Fiev.
. If this is not to happen, then Khrush-
chev must work at top speed to find the
means of capping this rrew triumph, of en-
forcing his will Stalin-stvle upon all ele-
ments of th’iT'SdMfer'iStractu'lfiB, *a»tf' of Solv-
ing enough of the problems now in his lap
so that he can escape the Lrlame that will
attach to failure.
As far as he has gone, he still has a
steep way to go.
Vy" ■*** ^ * Will •
dennot without great
or completion, could
mists who are afraid that a large public
vworks program which, once launched,
jreat waste be halted short
prove to be a serious
inflationary' factor in the years ahead.
In other words; suppose business heads
upward in a few months. Public works
undertaken would have to continue. If
boom conditions soon developed again, the
public activity on top of regular economic
enterprise yv-ould put a strain on prices
and wages and create shortages of men
and materials.
Those who see big spending as a dan-
ger reason also that it means deficit bor-
rowing on a scale that will saddle future
generations with far heavier taxes to pay
off the added debt. They think it tough
enough that we must contemplate atax
cut that most likely Will produce a. con-
siderable deficit even without huge pub-
lic works.
In deciding between the two offen-
sives, Americans and their representatives
will be deciding just how far they are
willing tp go toward mortgaging their own
and their descendants’ future income to
get out of an immediate hole. It could
be quite a choice for sensible, fair-mind-
ed men to make.
Thinking! It Over
Hundreds of people followed Jesus goring His
last week of ministry. All that we know from
the Bibli about most.of these folk is that they ac-
cepted his popularity as. * speaker and. as a per-
former of miracles. ' We have records of only a
few who actually changed their lives and became
His advocates.
When Jesus was put under pressure by the
leaders of the church and of the political groups
of ‘ His day, His followers deserted Him, As we
look back on the first Lenten period, we are criti-
cal of the fickleness of the 'hwltaaMl.es._-
Are we any less fickle? Do we witness for
Christ when our neighbors make light of religion?
Do we defend the'Master' against those who take
the name of the Lord in vain? Do we rebuke our
indifferent friends for'their thoughtlessness, their
selfishness and their lack of sincerity?

Thhtkingr It Over
Battling the Recession
When an attack against the current re-
cession may be mounted by the adminis-
tration. no one can be sure. But it is not
too early to consider whether such an of-
fensive—if it comes—should be a limited
or an all-out effort. ■
In weighing the two possibilities, it is
assumed that in either case all conceiv-,
able steps will be taken to ease credit in
various fields. Many such moves already
have been made to stimulate a fresh flow
of purchasing power.
An all-out assault presumably means
both a substantial tax cut and a major pub-
lic works program, the idea fc»eing that this
combined release of buying power would
give the economy an absolutely irresistible
jolt upward.
In most planners’ mind3. the limited
approach means a sizable tax reduction,
plus the expected further easing of credit,
but without whopping public works.
Those who right how see this recession
in darkest colors think the full-scale at-
tack is called for without delay, Labor
economists and some men. in “Congress are ~~
ranged in this camp.
The “other side” includes some who
are cautious in tinkering with the econ-
omy on a big stale, some who are just
more optimistic about projects for an
early upturn, and some who see real dan-
ger in big spending and a consequent large
federal deficit.
In the latter category are some econo-
Americans are proud of their material advance
over that of a few short years ago.* They build
monuments to progress and to people who ;have
added to the material assets of mankind, i High
over Birmingham, Ala., stands a statue of Vulcan
who represents industry and memorializes the
higher standard of living which industry has made
possible.
In contrast to this great statue is at small stone
replica of a little-known/-£fbreyman kneeling in
prayer in the center of the ‘’city. He will not long
be remembered for his 'preaching nor for his out-
standing service to the city.
His attitude of prayer will, however, give cour-
age to thousands in the market place who pause
and turn their hearts to Clod. It would be better
to pray quietly for the millions who need God than
to spoiid our total lives memorializing material
gain. We, too, can minister through prayer for
the human heart of the city.

Hast year at this time the' Capi-
tol was a turbulent arena. Law-
makers’ pounding debates, elpctric
disclosures and closa votes kept
galleries 'filled, committee rooms
jam packed. .
Now the lawmakers are scatter-
ed. But state issues are being de-
cided — elsewhere. JX' e x t year’s
legislators are out “talking with
the people to see how they feel.”
They’re at the church suppers,
PTA carnivals, civic club lunch-
eons, lodge flights and cemetery
“workings.” They're!feeling out
support, asking questions,- making
commitments — in your town. .
Answers they get and commit-
ments they make now will, in
large measure, determine how the,
close-votes go this time next year.

pect now is mostly for familiar
faces at the ligislative desks next

Washington (NEA)—Nobody can accuse Hostess Perle Mesta
of trying to tie any strings to her charitable donation*. At a party
test week a friend asked her for the name of the organization to
which she had given proceeds from her lectures. Mrs. Meats replied:
“OK, it’s Hungarian Something or Viet Nam Friends or some
such name. Maybe it’s International Relief Agency. Anyway, it s

Committee, the organization which has received gifts from Mrs. Mes-

The wife of a Navy captain who was given a $7,000 mink coat
by her mother several months ago is how beginning to question just
how fortufiate she really is. In her words:
,“No checkrooms will accept responsibility for taking care of
the thing. So I find myself carrying it over my arm at cocktail par-
ties and keeping It on my lap at the theater. I’m afraid to wear it
in the rain. I hate tp wear it when the wives of junior officers are
around because 1 know they’ll think I’m showing off.
I hate to wear it when wives of admirals are around because
they’re wondering how; I can afford it on my husband’s salary. And
1 can’t leave it bogie for Tear it will bo stolen. So I end- up being a
kind of baby sitter for a mink coat.’’ ,
Turns out that Ike’s recipe for beef stew and the recipe of
the President of Iceland, Asgeir Asgeirsson. for fish pudding have
proved equally popular in the cookbook called “The Best of Taste.”
ThHt’s the report of Mrs. Jerauld Wright, wife of the Supreme Al-
lied Commander, Atlantic, who helped put the book together.
She is taking off for Paris to present the first check from pro-
ceeds of the book to NATO headquarters. Money will be used for
scholarships to send European students to the U. S.
Russian military attache,'Col. Viktor Fomin, who was given
a recent tour of the Ford Motor ComanyV auto plant in Detroit,
was talking about it enthusiastically at a recent attache luncheon
club meeting. ' - - .
He apparently thought he had been a little too admiring of
the Ford organization and concluded his. remarks by saying, “How-
ever; don’t forget how’many European cars Americans are buying
these days.’’ ~
“Oh, that doesn't mean anything,” a British attache said. “Am-
ericans just buy. Those smali cars for their-servants.”
Colonel Fomin had no retort to that one.
A State Department official asked visiting President-elect Mario
Fchandi of Costa Rica what he„ thought of the burlesque show he
attended at a dive in the New Orleans French Quarter.,
“I think they ought to make the customers check their cigaxets
at the door along with their hats and coats,” Fchandi answered. “In-
stead pf watching c striptease, I thought I was seeing a demonstra-
tion of your latest military smoke screen.”
