Russians Told
Lenin Sought
To Oust Stalin
By ROY ESSOVAN
MOSCOW cru-The testament of
. V, I. Lenin, in which he advised
leaders to remove Stalin m general
secretary of the Communist Party
was published verbatim for the
first time Saturday in the Soviet
Union.
The text of this document,
printed In the authoritative maga--leine
Kommunlst, had previously
been kept from the Soviet public
lor 33 years.
The testament, beside calling
Stalin rude, rough mannered and
capricious, lauded Leon Trotsky.
Stalin's arch-rival, as "the most
capable member" of the Central-
Committee. These were the first
words of praise of Trotsky to be
carried in the Soviet press since
. lie was expplled from the party in
Kttl: .
lnm i w ill or testament was
actually, a letter written to the
1.1th Party Congress dated Dec. .23
and Dec. 24. 1922. He added a post
script with his most direct at
tack on Stalin on Jan. 4, 1923
Lenin died in January 1924. But
in most of his final year he was
incapable of expressing himself be
cause of hir fatal illness.
Warned Against Split
In the letter, Lenin, leader of the
Bolshevik Revolution and a revered
figure in the Communist world,
commented -frankly on the qual
'ities and defects of Sotiot leaders
' f the time and warned with pro
phetic words against a party split
oecause of bad blood between
Stalin and Trotsky.
Stalin, he wrote, had "concen
trated in his hands immense power
and I am not sure he will always
be able to use sufficient care in
using this power." He proposed
that the leadership find a way to
remove, him as general secretary,
a post which Stalin used as a
pringboard to his later supreme
authority. '
Analyses Tratsky
Lenin ariticized Trotsky for his
self-confidence and praised him for
his ability. He said the differences
between Stalin and Trotsky could
lead to a split in the party "and
if our party does not take steps
to prevent it the split could happen
unexpectedly."
The party leaders of the time
received Lenin's communication
nd discussed it but did not
lake it public. A majority of them
sregarded Lenin's w arning. Later
ist of these leaders were ex
uled by. Stalin in the treason
rials of the 30's. Trotsky himself
was expelled from the party, exiled
from the Soviet Union, and in 1940
was assasinated in Mexico.
Kept Fram Pablle
. A text of Lenin's testament was
published abroad. In the M'i it was
discussed at public Soviet party
meetings by party leaders and in
1927 Stalin even quoted from it part
ft Lenin's opinion of him. But its
text was still kept from the Soviet
public.
Prom 1927 on the testament was
Tily very rarely and obliquely re
ared to in Soviet publications,
oviet citizens were intensively in-x-trinated
with the belief that
alin was Xenin's closest friend
id adviser and Trotsky his blood
'emy. Everywhere in the Soviet
'nion there were hung copies of a
olograph showing Lenin and SI a
n seated together at Lenin's rest
ime outside Moscotf. Very few
'oviet citizens of the postwar per
rwl even knew of the existence of
.such a document till this year.

Tells Grazing
Regulations
WASHINGTON iP Secretary
of -Agriculture Benson Friday an
nounced conditions under which
grazing will be permitted on acre
age reserve lands. .
I'nder the soil bank act. acre
axe reserve land may not be
-razed unless the secretary finds
H necessary to prevent damage,
urdship or suffering caused by
severe drought, flood, or other na
tural disaster.
Friday's announcement ' said
special permission for grazing will
ie granted" when 'the area has
;-,?en officially designated a major
disaster area: when the gover
nor of the state in which designat
ed counties are located certifies
Mere Is need to permit grazing
because of natural disaster and
when, the . secretary dptermines it
is necessary to alleviate -damage
and hardship.
At present MS counties in nine
tates are designated "as eligible
hr the emergency feed grain pro--jram.
Farmers and ranchers in
hose counties are eligible to re
ceive special assistance to main
lain their foundation herds of live
stock. Benson said a main reason for
M'le ban on grazing of soil bank
reserve, acreage under normal
conditions is to avoid an incentive
for increased livestock and dairy
production.
