Page 10 Section 2 Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, February 12, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Commies Vote Headquarters Chicago Move Party Decides Today on Blind Allegiance or Own Decisions B.v JAMES DEVLIN NEW YORK im-The American Communist party decides today whether it will do ils own intu--preting of Marxist-Leninist princi ples or take Moscow's version. The party, meanwhile, voted at Its' convention to move its head quarters from New York to Chica go within a year. It said this would place the leadership nearer farm and industrial areas and help link labor and Negro move ments. In the same session, it adopted a resolution accusing its leaders of having committed "left-sectarian" mistakes that led to isolation of the parly. "Left-sectarianism" Is a Com munist term identified with bu reaucratic and rigid adherence to the Moscow line. During the party today was an other resolution calling for self- determination by the American Communists In inlerprcting the principles to guide them. "These principles,'' Ihc resolu tion said, "the Communist party of the United States interprets and applies, and strives lo devel op further, in accordance with the requirements ol tne American class struggle and democratic tra ditions." It said the party must distin guish bctler between those addi tions to Marxist theory which arc valid for all countries and those which "reflect exclusively certain unique features of one or another ' country." "Likewise, the Communist par ty will have to be bolder in re examining certain Marxist-Leninist theories which, while valid in a past period, may have become outdated and rendered obsolete by new historical developments," it (aid. "For example, we as well as other Marxist parties have al ready discarded as obsolete the thesis that war is inevitable under imperialism. "We have also recognized as in correct the concept of inevitable violent proletarian revolution, rec ognizing the possibility in our country of a peaceful, constitution al transition to socialism." Lenin had projected the thesis that war was inevitable under im perialism. Stalin held that violent revolution was inevitable.

The report gave the cost of in stalling three of the signs at $7.10 with the city to pay half of the meter when the meters were in stalled on Ihe street several months ago. The request for res toration of the loading zone brought about the study of the use of the meters on Ihc street. The council delayed for two weeks a request of City Manager Kent Mathewson to purchase 50 now parking meter heads for $2,175, The heads would be used to replace ones which have worn out. Ten resolutions were passed call ing for the construction of new sidewalks but, following a public hearing, action was delayed on a curb sidewalk on the north side of Hansen avenue between Holiday and Ben Vista drives. At the public hearing objection was voiced because of the terrain and soil conditions in the area and it was decided to investigate be fore passing the resolution. The resolutions passed call for the construction of sidewalks on both sides of Ford street between Lee and Simpson and Mill and Simpson streets: the north side of Lee between 23rd and 24th and Ford and 23rd streets and the west side of 241 li between Lee and the Southern Pacific railroad. Referred to the city manager for further study was a petition for the improvement of 24th street from Lee to Simpson. A petition for paving a portion of Lower Ben Lomond drive was laid over until the next meeting so that a study of possible sidewalks could be made. W' Gun Assailant Pleads Guilty CONCORD, Calif.
