American diplomats view the Soviet reorganization as propaganda to fool outsiders as well as the Russian people into believing that the communist party is being democratized, but such hopes are in vain. The ruthless dictatorship is there to stay and perfect its schedule of world conquest. The hated name of politbureau, world wide synonym for ruthless dictatorship, will be dropped but the heirarchy continues in the Presidium, though it is possible that Stalin will retire as premier because of age and ill health and Malenkov succeed him. The strategy may be planned for a peaceful succession to obviate a struggle for power. The political bureau (politburo) is being dropped in name only. Far from indicating more party democracy, the party statutes specify that the powers of the politburo be combined with those of the orgburo (organization bureau) in the hands of a single presidium whose makeup likely will be the same as that of the present politburo. Perhaps more purges loom, though the recent "house cleaning" may have completed them. At any rate, the Kremlin thinks it is safe to call so many communists to gether. Democracy is doomed as heretofore, and the only security in Russia for the people will remain the tyranny of slavery and the only peace that of the grave. Dostovievsky, greatest of Russian novelists, after an early career as a radical, was sent to Siberia as a revolu tionist in 1840 which he after release vividly described in "Buried Alive" and became a supporter of the government and of Christianity. He attacked Nihlism and Marxism and foresaw logical development in Stalinism, which "Shigalovism" in "The Demons" the English version is "The Possessed." In it he has Verhovensky thus describe Shigalovism concepts: "Cicero will have his tongue cut out, Copernicus will have hli eye put out, Shakespeare will be stoned that's Shigal ovism. . . . Every member of the society spies on the others, and it is his duty to inform against them. Everyone belongs to all and all to everyone. AU are slaves and equal in their slavery. . . . The one thing wanting in the world is discipline. The thirst for love is an aristocratic thirst. The moment you have family ties or love, you get the desire for property. We will destroy that desire; we'll make use of drunkenness, lander, spying; we'll make use of incredible corruption; we'll stifle every genius in Its Infancy. We'll reduce all to a common denominator. That's for us, the masters, to look after. Slaves Bust have masters. . . . Desire and suffering are our lot. Shig alovism is for tho slaves." A VOICE IN THE WEST The West last night heard the vibrant voice of a plains man calling upon his fellow countrymen to follow him down "the middle road" to a new future for America. The voice was that of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the man from Kansas who led the forces of freedom in World War II and who has returned to his native land to lead another crusade to bring unity and strength to the United States. In his first avowedly political speech since being nom inated by the Republican convention in July, Ike chose Boise, the capital of Idaho and a center of Taf t strength, for his rallying call. Three years ago Eisenhower first charted that "middle road" for the American Bar Association in St. Louis, Mo. At that time, he described it thus : "The middle of the road is derided by all of the right and the left They deliberately misrepresent the central position as a neutral, wishy-washy one. Yet here is the truly creative area within which we may obtain agreement for constructive social action compatible with basic American principles, and with the Just aspirations of every sincere American. It is the area in which are rooted the hopes and allegiance of the vast majority of our people. ". . . We will not accord to the central government unlisted authority, any more than we will bow our necks to the dictates of the uninhibited ssekers after personal power in finance, labor, or any other field." As a man who knows war as few other men today, Eis enhower spoke confidence last night in Boise in this na tion's ability to take care of itself and its people during a time of crisis. Speaking with that simplicity and sincerity that char acterize the man, Ike said that with the resources this country has "it is silly for us to be scared." And as one who had the final decision to make to invade the Nor mandy coast in 1944 when it looked impossible of success, Ike spoke feelingly: "We dwell in an atmosphere of fear and hysteria. We don't think clearly." A year ago General Eisenhower expressed his belief simply to a group of senators surveying the European problem. As James Haswell of the Chicago Daily News put it, it went like this : We have got to face up to the world in our time. There's no place to run to. There's no place to hide. The only thing Americans can do is to go forward with the Job of building confidence and with resolution to stand up to the Job of pre serving a free world. The more Eisenhower talks the more his statements, which have been labeled as "flag-waving" by critics, carry the sincerity of his belief in renewing a basic faith in the country's future. To those who have heard him speak, the man's words carry with them a strong feeling that leaves no doubt about his conviction that he is one who can lead this crusade for a renewal of belief in a country that needs new leadership of party and men.

I remembered the courage ot free people fighting against dic tatorial and selfish political ma chines, and the enthusiasm of inspired young citizens who had never taken an active part in politics before. I remembered victory celebra tions with New Englanders, with middle westerners and far west erners; and I remembered one or two postmortems when we were beaten. BY CARL ANDERSON Henry POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER Few Obstacles Stand Before Energy of an Angry Woman By HAL New York VP) The reason women get more things done than men is that they know better how to make a fuel of themselves. There is no fuel like an old fuel, and the oldest and best fuel isn't wood, coal or oil. It . is anger, plain old inner anger. Notice how a woman oper ates. If she has a distasteful job to do, the first thing she does is get all steamed up about it. Let us suppose the chore her conscience tells her she should be doing is her semi-annual housecleaning. A man faced with this task says, "I ought to tidy up this Joint, and I will, one of these days, but I feel awful tired to day." And he doesn't get around to shoveling out the debris until It threatens to smother him. But a woman says, "I hate the way this place looks." She is angry at it, and the anger gives her energy, and soon the dust and furniture are flying. By the time her anger is worn out, she can collapse on a spick-and-span couch in a house that is shiny-bright. That is why men are secretly afraid of women, because of the power of anger they have. Few obstacles can stand before the flaming energy of a wrathful lady at peak cry. A wise man, however, can exercise some influence over a woman if he cunningly learns to channel her ire in the right direction. Instead of coaxing her to do something he wants, he might find it better to make her so mad she can't help doing it In spite of herself. A friend of mine worked this this ruse successfully in getting his wife to pack her suit case in time to catch a uain for their vacation trip. He pulled out his watch and pointed at it. She dawlded. He pleaded. She dawdled. He BOYLE begged. She yawned. Finally, he picked up one of her favor ite dresses and said: "Well, I forbid you to take this along. It makes you look like Queen Victoria on a pic nic." "Oh, it does?" she snarled. "I'll wear what I want to, smarty!" In a tempestuous burst of en ergy, she packed the suitcase, snapped it shut. They caught the train. "As a matter of fact, he was so angry she wouldn't speak to me for a week, but is that alto gether bad " recalled the hus band. "But I learned a lesson: If you want to get a wife any where on time, first get her mad. Ruffle her feathers, then smooth them later." That is sound psychology, up to a point. Of course some wives, when they get mad, just go into another room and lock the door. No rule works with all of them. And, of course, It usually works the other way. A wom an uses her anger to whammy a man into obeying her whim. Many a fellow Is prodded in to success in life only because of the long slow burn of his wife over the fact the husband next door is getting ahead fast er. Her wrath feeds his will, and he rises in the world on borrowed fuel. There is another inner fuel, as old as anger. It is called fear. Anger is a fighting fuel fear is the fuel for running away. You need both to live. I may be a traitor to my sex, but it seems to me that women keep these two fuels in better balance than men. They are less likely to be overwhelmed by either. They know better when to be angrily brave, when to be cau tiously afraid. But, man or woman, no body ever became a star in the human' race until he learned how to make the right kind of fuel himself. Eskimo Woman in Igloo Buys Modern Heat Fixture MsMinnville, Tenn. Dur ing the last few weeks, I have been resting from the hardest campaign of my life. I lost the campaign, but my faith in the basic greatness of the American people has been increased tremendously by this experience. ( I don't want anyone to get the impression that I enjoyed losing. I don't like to lose, any better than the next fellow. It was especially hard to lose in this case, when we had been at it for so long and my friends had worked so hard for me. When the democratic conven tion was over, my wife Nancy and I came to McMinnville, Tenn., to get some rest in the country on a farm of a good friend of ours, Cowan Oldham. I didn't want to talk about the convention when friends came to see me, but the subject always seemed to come up, and to be frank I think I brought it up as often as anyone else. I couldn't sleep at night, although I tried to relax my mind and get good and tired swimming, fishing, and boating with the children. I would keep going over the events of the convention in my mind, trying to see where I could have changed things by taking a different course. Should I have held out and tried to deadlock the conven tion? Did I do right in going to the convention hall to with draw? Should I have advised my friends to vote differently on some of the issues? "Stop worrying about it, Estes," Nancy told me at last. "You did your best and the peo ple realize it. They believe in you regardless of the outcome." My friends were very under standing. They wrote me thou sands of encouraging letters from every section of the na tion. Those who lived near enough came to see me. When I went to Memphis to make a ra dio and television talk, they gave me such a welcome and were so thoughtful of us that I began to feel for the first time that things weren't so bad after all. REWARDS OF CAMPAIGN I began to see some of the good things that came out of our cam paign even though we were beaten. Campaigning across the nation is a tremendous experience. I should ceratinly be a better equipped senator as a result. Now I know first hand of the attitudes and ambitions of our people in every section of the nation. River development in the far west, loss of industry In New England, special farm problems of many regions, bigotry, relig ious and racial Intolerance are to me no longer problems to study merely from congression al hearings. I have seen them first hand. . Too often in Washington we tend to become cynical and dis illusioned. When one has an op portunity of visiting as I have, the people in every section of the nation, that cynicism is washed away. This campaign has reas sured me of the spiritual and economic sturdlness of our great people. I do not think these good people who supported me lost what they were fighting for. They had a lot to do with the democratic party presenting a sound and progressive plat form. Also, I have a deep con viction that many beneficial re forms such as a federal presi dential primary law will emerge.

(Cepyrllht, lttl) Up on the News So Misses Jail Detroit (U.R) Frank Dentzler owed his freedom Thursday to his knowledge of current events. Dentzler, 57, was the first defendant brought before newly-appointed Recorder's Judge John A. Ricca. "Congratulations on your new Job, your honor," said Dentzler, facing the judge on a drunkenness charge. Rlcca, seeming pleased, noted this was Dentzler's first ap pearance in court in three years. "Sentence suspended," he said. "And stay out of here for at least another three years."
