Intelligence sources say Kirilenko will be dropped from the ruling Polit buro when it meets Nov 15 and also taken off top defense committees "Brezhnev keeps going up and down, but each time he comes back he comes back at a lower level of energy," said one U S official who monitors Kremlin developments "He's able to cope, and it’s clear that he may go on for a number of years still," the of ficial said. "But his abilities to manage all the complexities of government are decreasing over time " In a bleaker appraisal of Brezhnev's health, another of ficial said "he's always been in bad shape He doesn't chair committees anymore He really isn't running the country He's there as a sym bol." But he said the Kremlin decided it was preferable to keep Brezhnev in office than have an open fight over succession. The transition in power began with the death of Premier Alexei Kosygin two years ago and accelerated with Communist party theore tician Mikhail Suslov's death last January Andropov was brought into the inner circle to work along side Chernenko, who remained Brezhnev s right hand man Without a formal agreement, but as Brezhnev s energies declined, they joined with Andrei Gromyko, the veteran foreign minister; Dmi tri Ustinov, the defense minis ter; and Nikolai Tikhonov, the new premier, in operating the government THE HOUSE IS BA And He Is Holding A Huge .
