THE NERVOUS KREMLIN
By BRUCE BIOSSAT, NEA Editorial Writer
TlIE inside stories of the purge of top Rus-
sian leaders suggest that Messrs Khrushchev,
Zukov ahd Company moved against Malenkov,
Molotov. Kagiinovich and Shepiluv to avoid
being jettisoned themselves.
There never was any real doubt that the purge
was a development in the Kremlin power strug-
gle that has been going '-n, inevitably, ever since
the death of Joseph Stalin in 1933.
Whether the opposition was crushed simply
because it existed as a general threat or because
it was, as some stories now state, actually plott-
ing 1o seize power, we cannot really be sure.
We do know that dictatorships seem to de-
mand dictators, that totalitarian communism
without a Stalin is close to boi" 1 *n unworkable
contradiction. It is not a system of government
meant to accommodate rivalries at the top.
THEREFOR!' what has happened probably
was inescapable, it was merely a question of
i ie right for action.
the outside the delicate
racing the power seeks in
ntalizin. n the extreme.
Khrushchev or Zhukov de-
cides to act. he takes his life in Ins hands. For
if he does not have the r,rv>ngth he believes he
has. then the oppr *ion w 11 thwart his move
and in turn may crush L

Moscow look to be t
When a man like
Again and again the would-be dictator and
his principal backers must make that decision
as he consolidates his power and moves toward
the pinnacle. Each time, the same agonizing
question must arise whether he has the means
to conquer and is using them at exactly the right
moment.
STALIN confronted this dilemma not only up
to the time when he purged his last evident
rivals in the late 1930’s but even beyond, as he
sought always to keep new foes from emerging
to challenge his authority.
It will be the same for the present rulers If
as most seem to suggest. Zhukov s helping hand
to Khrushchev was decisive, then sooner or later
these two would appear destined to battle it out
for the top.
Obviously, the Kremlin is no place for a man
with shaky nerves. Even if you sleep in the
dictator’s bed. you never know on what waking
day a challenger may not arise to plot success-
fully your downfall. Among other things, demo-
cracy is clearly more restful.
Texas’ present Capitol building was dedicated
in May, 1888.

A‘little story from Valley Forge, Pennsylvania states . simply
that the National Boy Scout Jamboree breaks up today atra after
ceremonies tonight, the boys will entrain and go home.
Simply enough, but imagine the transportation job involved
from
in going to a place and picking up 32,000 passengers.
We are indebted to Tom Booth*
the Conductor and Brakeman magazine that tells something of
the job involved bringing the boys to the Jamboree. The job of
taking them home is just as big.
“Thirty-two trains will move on the Reading and 32 loin the
Pennsylvania transporting a total of 30,000 ... In addition the
Reading will carry 45.000 youths between their camp and Spading
Terminal in Philadelphia to view national shrines . . . Boy Scout
commuters will make 32 round trips in 15 trains.
“The Pennsylvania will run two 10-car trains daily between
Philadelphia and the camp for six days with an estimated passen-
ger load of 9,000.
“The whole operation will create 218 separate trains with ap-
proximately 168.000 passengers. Total of passengers and baggage
cars will reach 750, including 200 sleepers and diners.
“Excluding the local movements between Philadelphia and Val-
ley Forge, the trains, end-to-end, would stretch for 12 miles in-
bound.
“The boys will come from all parts of America, and one special
train will originate in Canada. It will carry about 500. The Idaho-
Oregon contingent’s train will run over 11 different railroads . . .
Texas Boy Scouts will be the vanguard of arrivals . . . One of the
largest movements will bring 2.800 boys in three 14-car trains
from New England ... on the Pennsylvania. V.
“After the jamboree three special trains will carry 1,460 boys
to Quebec, Canada where they will embark by ocean vessfel for
World Jamboree in England during August”.
It's all in a day's work for the railroads. They proved .during
World War 11 they can handle mass movements. * ’

I ■ .... .rii mm maioM ■■ i I
By DREW PEARSON
Washington Merry-Go-Round
WASHINGTON, i). C. July 18.
—One of tlu* most skillful jobs
ol Senate maneuvering in years
has been done by Senator Dick
Russell of Georgia and Southern
leaders in the civil rights debate.
Even before this week’s vote to
take up the bill, they had come
close to arranging private deals
by winch they should win about
90 per cent of the points.
Southern leaders still have
two opponents; Vice President
Nixon on one side, and an em-
battled group of Northern lib-
eral' led by Senator Paul Doug-
1,of Illinois on the other.
Nixon, who sees the huge
bloc of Negro votes almost with-
in Republican grasp, is deter-
mined that there be no throw-
away on civil rights. As a result,
he lias aroused the undying en-
mity of Southern Senators. They
say privately that they can get
along with Nixon’s fellow Cali-
fornian. Rill Knowland. Only
last January Know-land voted
with them on the ending of fili-
busters, and they expect him to
compromise now.
Rut Nixon is tougher. The bit-
terness against him is intense.
Irony is that the Liberal Dem-
ocrats. including Douglas. Mc-
Namara of Michigan, Clark of
Pennsylvania. Pastore of Rhode
Island. N'euherger of Oregon—
now lmil themselves led by a
man they have always opposed,
Senator Knowland. Or if lie com-
promises. then they may have to
go over to Nixon, a man they
have opposed even more. F o r
years they fought for civil rights
when the come wa«
tmigh. Now they find the play
taken away from them by GOP
Johmiies-come-lately
SOUTHERN MANEUVERS
Meanwhile, here are the
shrewd moves made by South-
ern leaders to strip tin* civil
right* hill down to a skeleton
ix’lore the real debale got
started. b
1. JURY TRIAL—Sen. L v n-
don Johnson of Texas has a jury
trial amendment just about tied
up in blue ribbons. A g o o d
man\ Republicans and sever-
al Northern Democrats are
secretly ready to wipe out trial-
by-judge in ease a judge’s in-
junction is violated, and substi-
lute trial-by-jury—in many cases
trial-by-white-jury.
2. OTHER CIVIL RIGHTS —
Ibis is Section 3 of the bill
"Inch embraces all civil rights,
not merely voting rights, and
would include the enforcement
of school de-segregation.
President Eisenhower and
Georgia's Dick Russell have now
cut a lot of support from this
part of the bill. After Dick told
the Senate this would permit the
Federal Government to force
segregation on the South with
bayonets, the President an-
announced that he didn't “par-
ticipate in drawing up the exact
language of the proposals” and
that his only objective was “to
prevent anybody illegally from
interfering with any individual’s
right to vote.”
Eisenhower obviously wasn’t
familiar with his own power as
President, nor didn't read tli«
civil rights bill which has been
under consideration in Congress
for two years and under active
debate for nine months. He
didn't know, among other things
that as President he has always
the right to send troops into any
part of the United States, and
that in this half century other
Presidents have sent them into
portions of the South.
Ike's confusion about the
“exact language” of the bill has
bolstered Russell's charge that
the bill is "an example of cun-
ning draugthsmanship,” and has
helped another proposed com-
promise. Many Northern leaders
now agree that the bill should
not pass unless it makes clear
that military power will not be
used to enforce civil rights.
3. VOTING RIGHTS ONLY —
Southern leaders also want the
language of the civil rights bill
confined strictly and solcy to
the protection of voting rights,
and they have lined up enough
backstage votes among Repub-
licans so that this compromise
may pass too. GOP Senator Karl
Mundt of South Dakota was
picked by Southern leaders to
spearhead this compromise.
All this happened before the
civil rights bill itself came up
for debate.
WASHINGTON PIPELINE
Oregon's Senator Wayne
Morse is planning a bill to make
the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue completely non-politi-
cal. serving a 15-year term.
Morse says Internal Revenue
has been in politics up to the
armpits. He suspects it has been
threatening Negro Congress-
man Adam Clayton Powell with
tax prosecution to make him
side against Hell's Canyon.
(Powell's three secretaries have
been either convicted or indict-
ed on kickback charges.)...
Many members of the American
Bar Association are skeptical a-
bout the tax deductions to be
charged by their colleagues for
expenses of their trip to Lon-
don. By attending the London
meeting of the Bar Association,
many members intend to charge
their trans-Atlantic traveling ex-
penses as business expense.
Then they can take a further
vacation in Europe for almost
nothing. Big question mark
with some lawyers
is how the Treasury will rule on
this later... Attorney General
Brownell has already gone to
London... It was just one year
ago that Governor Knight of
California was doing his best to
block the nomination of Dick
Nixon for Vice President. Now
they’re teammates to block the
nomination of Senator Bill
Knowland. Politics make strange
bedfellow's.
MERRY GO ROUND
If you're sweating it out 1 n
the heat of Washington, you
may be jealous of the plight of
14 Army officers, 18 scientists,
and their secretaries. They have
gone to Damariscotta. Maine, for
two months to study the effects
of atomic war—at the expense
of the taxpayer. They arc at-
tending sessions at Lincoln
Academy in Newcastle. Maine—
on the cool Atlantic coast. The
project is lasting from July 1 to
August 31, just in time to come
back to a cooler Washington....
General Tony McAuliffc, t h e
heroic officer who said “Nuts!”
to the Germans at the Battle of
the Bulge, surrendered to the
Army brass in testifying before
Congress the other day. He was
supposed to testify strongly for
an Army airlift. But when his
old comrade. General Maxwell
Taylor, testified against it. Tony
—now retired was a good soldier
—stuck with the Army brass....
Later McAuliffc wrote to Ralph
Cox, small airline executive
who asked him to testify: "While
I do not agree with the views
expressed by General Taylor, I
still consider it unwise and fu-
tile to attempt to contradict him
on the basis of my knowledge. If
he. in addilion to Mr. Wilson
and Admiral Radford, concludes
that available airlift for t h e
Army is sufficient, it seems
hopeles sto attempt a different
note."
