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. It is the

By FRANK JENKINS
The iron curtain Communists,
failing to induce us to permit
them to break up the Western
alliances, are holding a peace
and security conference all by
themselves in Moscow
. 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

-"-make quite an impression if
he had come . out of jail RE

THE POINT is that DEEDS al
ways speak more loudly than

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.

it and they know it. So they
aren't going to tackle it. But at
least it would be an interesting
illustration of the fundamental
fact that proraise-everything pol
iticians CAN'T DO EVERY
THING i When you come right down to
it, a politician or a political
party can no more deliver
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
to all his constituents than he
can deliver weather that is per
fect for everybody. 7
Unfortunately for us, we keep
hoping the politicians CAN do it.
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.
Washington, thinking in terms
of fiber and not of rough boards,
IS NOW FAR MORE SOLIDLY
PROSPEROUS THAN: ORE
