STRENGTHENING STALINISM
The Soviets' decree to hold its first party convention
In 13 years on October 5 to replace the politburo by a
"Presidium" to guide the work of the party between ses
sions, set up a five-year industrial increase plan to in
crease output 70 per cent, must be apparent to all is a
move to strengthen, tighten and extend party control
over every phase of Russian and satellite life and stamp
out possible new opposition.
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.

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.
They want our government to
work steadfastly for peace with
