Western Experts Lose 'Peep Hole' Source Of K rem I i n Ra n ki ng s By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Western experts on Soviet Rus sia have lost a "peep hole' into the way things are going inside the Kremlin. - For years, they had watched close ly the order of precedence in which top ranking Rus sian leaders were listed when they at tended official f u n c t ions tnane Mrcann c e i e Drauons, congresses. Darades. funerals and even opera premieres. :The frequent shifting in the ranking of the top men gave the experts or the experts thought it did an indication of develop ments in the never-ceasing dog eat-dog struggle for , power which is a normal part of life in a Communist hierarchy. But for the last six months, the names of the big men in the Kremlin have been listed accord ing to the Russian Cyrillic al phabet. ... Two Reasons For Change This had happened once be fore, shortly after the death of Josef Stalin. .Then the alpha betical listing was soon dropped. This time, "advices from London say, the experts believe the al phabetical listing may continue for a long time, i There are two suggestions as to' the reason for the change. One is that the Kremlin is try ing to build up the idea of "col lective leadership" in contrast to' the iron one-man rule of Stalin; V; ' - ' - The other is that, important changes in relative power may be in .progress. In --. the alphabetical listing Premier Georsi . M. Malenkov ranks fourth. Foreign Minister Vyacheslav. M; Molotov, who is normmally the No. 2 man m the government, comes sixth. Nikita S. Khrushchev, first secretary "of the Russian Communist Party, ranks ninth. . , r and Easy !v to Prepare! TPS THEM BOTH! i - . ... -t . i wm in 1951 Willard C. Kirk. Jef- Malenkov, of course is the No. 1 man. It has long been appar-; ent that Khrushchev, nominally listed behind Molotov, is Nd. 2. May Bid for Power - Khrushchev is a ruthless, am bitious man. He has risen rapid- lv on the Kremlin totem nole. There are indications thai some day.'with his 'control of the Communist Pa rty machine, Khrushchev" may make a bid for power. Stalin, as head of-, the Communist Party, was Russia's dictator for years before he made himself Prime Minister. - That could happen in Khrush chev's case. He is thrusting him self forward mor and moreJ" It was Khrushchev, not Molotov, who went to Peiping for the re cent Russian-Chinese confer ence. It was noted that at the Nov. 7 reception, in celebration of the anniversary of the Bolshe vik revolution, Khrushchev bu sied himself in long talks with French Ambassador Louis Joxe and Yugoslav Ambassador Do brivoje Vidic. He was much more prominent than Molotov among the foreign diplomats. There is no way to tell how things are going in the Krem lin. But the experts ' seem to feel that Moscow has playedl them a mean trick by abolishing the totem-pole method of listing its leaders.

Democrats Open Crucial Meeting Friday To Pick Chairman, Seek Southern Support New' Orleans (UJS--National Democratic leaders, apparently in a mood to win back support from the Solid South, hold a crucial meeting here starting Friday to pick a new national chairman, reconsider the contro versial loyalty pledge and to celebrate party victories in the November election. The two-clay meeting, which closes with . a $100-a-plate vic tory "banquet Saturday night, is the first of 'its kind in Dixie in 30 years and obviously is aimed at healing the rift between north ern and southern members of the party. ; K : .. The breach developed primar ily as afresult of the so-called loyalty pledge1 approved at the 1952 nominating convention in Chicago. Liberal elements of the party, headed by Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., of New York, and the late Sen. Blair Moody of Michigan, took the lead in ram ming the plank through over the vigorous objections of some southern delegations. . Refuted Support As the result of the pledge and "other matters," some south ern governors, inducing Robert F. Kennon of Louisiana, Allan Shivers of Texas and James F. Byrnes , of South Carolina, re fused to support Adlai Steven son, the party's Presidential can didate, and instead threw their support to Dwight D. Eisenhow er. : ' k Not one of the three governors will attend the meeting here this week. All have pleaded previous engagements. Only . recently, Kennon announced he would not support " Adlai Stevenson in 1956. Stevenson will speak Sat urday night. : '. -, To Recover Pledge , ' It was understood the party's rules committee would recon sider the loyalty pledge and pos sibly eliminate it to keep it from coming up at the next conven tion. ... -; The pledge required all dele gates seated in the convention to do all they "honorably'' could to see that the Democratic candi dates for President and vice-president were placed on the ballots in their respective states. .'. Mr. Eisenhower won three Southern states Florida, Tenn essee and Virginia in 1952. New Chairman Chief business of the meeting this week will be the selection of a new chairman by the na tional committee. Stephen Mitch ell,; the current chairman, has said, he wants to be relieved of his duties ."by Jan. 1 and , asked the party to name his successor at this meeting. , V As of now, there is a seven way race for the post.

Foreign Minister Molotov pre sided at the opening session. YOU KNOW, if the Commun ists would hold a peace con ference all toy themselves and actually DO a lot of things like giving East Germany back to the Germans and giving the Austrians a peace treaty and getting Russian ' troops out of Austria and permitting the peo ple of their satellite stooges to decide for themselves AT FREE AND S E C R E T ELECTIONS whether they'( want to remain a part of the Communist setup or go it on their own as free and independent nations, they would make quite an impression on the world. ; v u ALGER HISS, too, ' could -"-make quite an impression if he had come . out of jail RE PENTENT and would devote the rest of jhis life to the undoing of what -he did in those years when he was working with the Com munists AGAINST his own coun try.) ...-v;,- .::-A.:.:-,;..v.; THE POINT is that DEEDS al ways speak more loudly than WORDS.. i . - ' . ' THE TELETYPE relates that the heavy rains which, have drenched parts of Britain during the past five days are continu ing today, flooding roads and fields in 17 counties of England and Wales. , Many farmers, the dispatch adds, are in despair, with the fields so saturated that they can neither harvest their crops nor sow their winter wheat in prepa ration for next year's crop. IT WOULD be interesting if the socialists in Britain would adopt a platform promising flat ly that if returned to power they would do away with all this bad weather and see to it that in the future there would be always just the right amount of sun and the right amount of rain and never a surplus of either.

SHUCKS! . .; Let's get our heads out of the rosy: clouds and get down to facts. Here is an interesting fact reported by the teletype: - Lumber is no longer the KEY industry in the Portland area. An industrial survey shows that the metals industry is now the top employer in Oregon's one .BIG city. Stanford Research In stitute .reports that of some 594 new manufacturing firm s launched in Portland since 1947, 123 were in the metals industry. Following the metals industry in importance are machinery plants. Finished lumber products and furniture hold down third place in the picture, . ... , ; Lumber has been a declining factor in Portland area business in recent years as nearby timber supplies dwindled. Two big Port land lumber mills . shut down this past year. ; SCARY? . - Not at all.- ' V;. V ; As rough lumber has declined in importance in the Portland area it has been REPLACED by other industry and Portland is now more' prosperous than ever. WHAT of lumber in the rest of T Oregon which is now the nation's top lumber state? The rest of Oregon must begin to think in terms of FIBER and the multifold things that can be made of it,- rather than in terms of rough boards.,. , . A decade and a, half ago the state of Washington yielded first place m rough lumber, produc tion to the state of Oregon.
