. i. I Rumors of Kremlin Shakeup LONDON Hi-Rumblings of a ' shakeup brewing inside the So viet Union reached the diploma tic colony here Sunday. Some analyst of Russian affairs pre dicted a new struggle within the Kremlin, with Communist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev possibly ready to make a bid for supreme power. Moscow radio has reported "great political activity" in the Soviet capital Khrushchev' closest associates are making the rounds of district party confer : ences presumably to lay down the future line. Two important meetings have , Rumbling been set up. The Supreme Soviet has been called Into extraordi nary cession Dec. 23; the all Soviet Communist Party con gress meets in February. Diplomats are inclined to link the two. And either could pro vide the forum for a major pro nouncement. . Khrushchev, as the acknowl edged strong man in the Kremlin hierarchy, was regarded behind any reshuffle that may be in the making. Since Stalin's death Kremlin leadership has func tioned more or less as a collec tiveor committee with no one man holding the whip as Stalin did.

Replying to an American protest over the detention of two U, S. congressmen at gunpoint in East Berlin last Sunday because the two-way radio in their military car allegedly violated East German laws, Dibrova asserted the sover eignty ef East Germany over the eastern sector. The Communists thus laid the legal foundation, to their own sat isfaction, for a return to the block ade conditions of 1948-49 if they desire. Their wish, apparently.
