sorship are that Molotov still is the No. 2 man, Stalin's right hand, at least for the public's benefit.) These leaders are apart from the Soviet people, who know little of what goes on in the Kremlin. Traffic accidents at night are twice as likely to be fatal as ac cidents Hours. occurring in daylight CSM Reporter Says Kremlin Bent On Eventual U. S. War NEW VORK-(-The leaders of the Kremlin are bent on even tual war with the West, if they can get away with it, says an American reporter who recently left Moscow. But Edmund Stevens, back from a three-year assignment as cor respondent for the Christian Science Monitor in Russia, says he is convinced today more than ever that "the world's future depends on understanding between the United States and the Soviet Union." Soviet aims and policies have, since the war, become plain for all to see expansion through su perimposing the Communist .sys tem, Stevens writes. But the fore most question today is this: Do the Soviet leaders, who have an atom bomb now, want war? "No And Yes" , The answer, the correspondent says, is "No aaand yes." For the immediate future, he said, the an swer is no. But in the long view, with the shifting of world power in the Kremlin's favor, the answer is yes. The Communist leaders al ways have predicted the inevitable bloody clash of capitalism and communism. Stevens says the Kremlin lead ers want to avoid war now while preparing militarily and economic ally and while running calculated war risks such as the Berlin block ade. But he adds that there is a margin of hope for peace in the realization by the Kremlin that i would be difficult to sell the Sovie: people on a war of aggression. To beat Soviet propaganda, Ste vens writes, the West must put it own economic house in order While avoiding outright appease ment, it must explore every possi bility for genuine agreement. Thr West, he says, should miss no op portunity to go over the heads 01 the Soviet leaders, directly to the Russian people. The Voice of Am erica has made "a splendid be ginning" on these lines, as indicat ed by the frantic Russian jamming ol the broadcasts, he says, adding: More Powerful Than A-Bomb . - "Even today, what filters through the wall 1f interference is a far more powerful weapon than the atom bomb a weapon for peace that reaches men's minds and cre ates, instead of destroying." As matters stood in 1949, Ste vens calculated that the eventual armed clash of the two systems would come in the long run. But the West must remember, he ad ts, that "despite doctrinaire aims and outlook, the Soviet leaders are ful ly capbale - of changing their minds." He recalls that Stalin him self once proclaimed that "the log ic of things is the strongest of all logic." Who are these leaders who bold ly balance the pros and cons of world holocaust? The most power ful today, under Stalin, s..ys Ste vens, is a man who knows nothing of the West from first-hand exper ience, a man who is young enough to have grown up intellectually un der Stalin's complete domination The Nam is Malenkov He is Georgi Malenkov, whose recent rise at Stalin's right hand has been meteoric. Lacking mass appeal, he dislikes the limelight and prefers to pull wires behind scenes. But he occupies today the same strategic post which Stalin held in relation to the declining Lenin. , Malenkov has used this position to carry out a quiet purge of possi ble opponents, always carefully consolidating himself before mak ing a new advance. At home his policy meant tightening up against reliables, including renewed dis crimination against Jews. Abroad it meant tightening control of Corn inform countries, ruthless elimina tion of Titoism, arbitrary imposi tion of the Soviet economic and police pattern on the satellite states. Reflected By Acts But his caution, says Stevens, is reflected in the lifting of the Ber lin blockade when he though it had gone as far as it safely could and in the fact that the campaign against Yugoslavia's Tito stopped short of armed invasion. For a time Malenkov apparently ranked about even with Lavrenty P. Beria, the power behind the secret police, but Beria did not appear to Stevens to be aspiring any higher. Vice-Premier V. M. Molotov appears 'to be in partial eclipse, the writer says, and more in decline than ever in Stalin's in creasing retirement.

Erickson, State Health officer. They had been omitted yesterday when a vital statistics registrar said publication of the addresses was a violation of the new state law on the subject. But a stor.n of protest broke. Businesses that use the addresses for tips diaper services and others and friends wanted the addresses restored. The state officer thea relented. He noted the law did not specifical ly forbid listing the addresses and left end decision to local registrar ADD TRUCK SIGNS CHICAGO OP) A sign on the back of a truck here reads: "If you have plans for tomorrow don't hit me today." Negro Gunmen Hold Up College BALTIMORE, FEB. ( Four gunmen staged a swift and apparently well-planned robbery at Morgan State college for Negroes here, getting away with $16,000 in cash. Pistols in hand, they entered the college library on the run, held Id persons at bay and then made off with the day's receipts in registra tion fees. It took them just three minutes. The bandits, all young Negroes, appeared at the library just a few minutes after the last student had paid his mid-term fees. The tallest of the four jumped up on the counter of the cashier's cage and said This is a holdup. We want the money. Drop it and step back." He ran down the counter to the point where eight cashiers were counting the receipts and gave SNIFFED AND WHIFFID LONG BEACH. Calif.

The kids' va cation hopes died, however, when the valiant shelter custodian, Ralph Slone, one hand to his nose, shovel ed the odorous remains into rear of his truck and sped off. handful after handful of bills to one of the other gunmen, who stuffed them into a canvas bag. As they prepared to leave one turned and said Take a good look at me, and if you recognize me . ." He shook his gun at the cashiers and ran through the door. The four reportedly fled by auto mobile. Authorities at the college said less than one-third of the loot was insured. GOP Feeds 'Em, Entertains To Build Up Rally WASHINGTON, Feb. . UP) -The Republicans apparently have hit on a sure-fire way to get out a crowd for a political rally. All you do is: Put on in old fashioned box sup per, featuring three pieces of fried chicken, some potato salad, coffee and a roll wearing a small Amen can flag. The whole thing for $1. Hire a nationally known enter tainment group, such as Fred War ing and his Pennsylvanians, and get a Hollywood figure, such as George Murphy, to master the ceremonies and lead the yells. Then line up an all-star speaking cast, including Senators Taft (Ohio), Wherry (Nebr), Capehart (Ind), Knowland (Calif), Mundt (SD), Brewster (Me), Tobey (NH) Thuri., Feb. 9, 1950 The Newt-Review, Roseburf, Ore. 3 Cain (Wash) and Rep. Joe Martin (Mass), the House minority leader. That's what the GOP did Mon day night, and it worked. The box supper was the first of a nationwide program of box sup pers. It's all a part of a whipping-up-enthusiasm campaign and the annual tribute to the first Repub lican president,: Abraham . Lincoln Old Abe never hid It so good. The lure of entertainment, chicken and speech-making brought 11,000 (a metropolitan police esti mate) to Uline arena, a spot which holds 6,500 comfortably. More than 2,000 sat on the floor, midst the remains of the fred chicken. Even the oratory, which wau broadcast nationally, had a some what different touch. Instead of the customary one or two big oratori cal guns, the GOP split it 20 ways, with each speaker limited to ap proximately 45 seconds. I won't go into details, but this is the gist of what they said: The Republicans are redhot for Republicans, and they don't give a hoot for a certain other party. . All seemed unusually harmoni ous, and I ran into only one jarring note. Two characters got to argu-. ing over the same chair, and one snarled: "Who do you think you are, President T - n?" Fortunately, Murphy chose this time to sing, "God Bless America," and peace was restored.
