WWT'EY Associated Press Writer , NEW YORK l-A year ago today- Nikila Khrushchev made a history-making speech in the Kremlin still unpublished in Rus siadenouncing Joseph Stalin for unspeakable crimes. Now he is being forced to eat his words. On Jan. 17 he declared in public that "Stalin was a model Communist." This is the same Stalin that Khrushchev, just a year ago, called "capricious, irritable and brutal," lo whom he attributed "a persecution ,mania" and a "ma nia of grandeur," whose acts he described as "shameful" and 'monstrous." Didn't Realize Consequences When Khrushchev exposed1 Stal in Feb. 2S, 1956, he probably didn'l realize the consequences. In the last 12 months the speech has shaken the Soviet empire and un dermined Khrushchev's own pow er. It exposed, the faults and bru tality not only of Stalin but of the Soviet system as well; A great spiritual ferment and unrest among all peoples under the Communist yoke was given a tremendous push. The subjects of communism, particularly young people, were shocked out of pas1 sivity and submission to authority. Pylhoti Eats at Last HUGO, Okla.

A blow was delivered at all Communist parties outside Com munist-dominated countries, par ticularly in Western I'.urope. Mos cow's leadership of the interna tional Communist movement was jolted. Polish Unrest As a result of (he Khrushchev revelations, Poland went through a period ol unrest and self-searching. The bloody Poznan brcad-and-(reedom riots followed in early summer. In lale October came Ihe establishment of a national Communist regime under Wladys law Gomulka free of dircet So viet domination in internal af fairs. In Hungary, unrest unsealed the Soviet puppet, Stalinist Matyas Rakosi, and then mounted till it hurst into open revolution in late October. The Kremlin put down the revolution with armed force, gained the eternal hate of all Hun garians and exposed to the world the brutality of Communist impe rialism. After the events in Poland and the revolution in Hungary, the Kremlin grew frightened. It slowed down the movement to ward reforms in Soviet life., It brought succesive delega tions from its satellites- to Mos cow to repair the strained lines of control. Meanwhile developing economic problems have forced the Kremlin lo attempt to .reor ganize Soviet economic life. The consequences to Soviet im perialism of Khrushchev's attack a year ago on Stalin- have only begun. Tinest expression of The Tbrward Look j To the man who is waiting to own the carof the year!

But he main tains the sale of tranquilizing pills must be curbed "to prevent grave physical and moral damages to society." Addressing 500 doctors at a spe cial audience Sunday, the pontiff approved the -use of drugs to re lieve pain even though they short ened life. But he said the drugs must 'not "prevent the carrying out of other moral and religious duties." .The Pope based his 45-minutc address on questions posed last fall by the Italian Society of the Science of Anesthetics. He said "particular circumstances can im pose another line of conduct, but the Christian's duty of renuncia tion and of interior purification is not an obstacle to the use of anesthetics.".,- ,, Calling on public "authorities to regulate the sale and use of tran quilizing drugs, he said that "a person who uses them improperly "cannot complete his daily work if he remains continually sub merged in a twilight state."
