ravda Denounces 'Excesses:' By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Correspondent Moscow (U.P.) The official Communist newspaper Pravda denounced Josef Stalin in a 10,000-word editorial today for his "monstrous excesses" during his later years. The bitter attack was the first authoritative report on the pres ent policy of degrading Stalin as outlined by Communist Party Secretary Nikita S. Khrushchev at the recent 20th party congress. It blamed Stalin's "cult of the individual" for the excesses and said the party could not begin eliminatbTg them until it had removed Laverenti P.

In No Hurry Pravda outlined the party's program of eliminating the rem nants of Stalin's "cult of the in dividual" but said it was a big and difficult job and "there is no place for hurry or waste." A big re-education program is now under way throughout the Soviet Union to eradicate the "lickspittles and sycophants," it said. It accused them of "cover ing up shortcomings, varnishing of reality and eyewash." Though most of the editorial was devoted to Stalin, it had some of its harshest words for Beria. "Such an inveterate agent of imperialism as Beria and his ac complices could worm their way to leading positions in the party and the government only as a result of the cult of the individ ual and the violations of the standards of party life connected with it," Pravda said. 'Traitorous Beria Gang' "The exposure and the smash ing up by the central committee of the contemptible traitorous Beria gang made it possible to eliminate the violations of So cilist law and to restore fully the Lenin standards of party life, the standards and principles of Socialist law." The Pravda editorial, which took up two columns on page one, was a scathing indictment of Stalin's later years. His cult of the individual hero worship of Stalin did "serious harm" to the Communist cause, Pravda said. Pravda said that Stalin, "lack ing personal modesty . . . sup ported and encouraged ... in every way" the praise that Com munism's successes won him. And "as time went on," it said, "this cult of the individual as sumed ever more monstrous forms and did serious harm to the cause." egro Ministers See Large Church Crowds Day' or yenverance Scheduled Local Service New York ;(U.R) Negro min isters in major Northern cities predicted large church attend ance of their congregations to day in observance of a "national deliverance day of prayer" in sympathy for the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott. Southern clergymen indicated they expected only token or un organized services in cities of the south. The National Deliverance Day of Prayer was called for by a national committee of Negro ministers organized last Feb. 24 after the arrest in Montgomery of 90 Negro leaders, including 25 ministers, for violation of Alabama's boycott law. 'Cause Celebre' The boycott, which began last Dec. 5, has become a desegrega tion "cause celebre." Now in its 17th week, it was touched off by the arrest of Negro seamstress Rosa Parks, who had refused to obey a bus driver's order to move to the rear of the bus. Negro leaders called for only one day of protest but the boy cott is still going. The Rev. Adams Clayton Pow ell Jr., chairman of the minis ter's committee, appealed in New York for nationwide church attendance in sympathy for the boycott. Day-Long Meetings In New York, all Harlem Protestant churches planned day-long prayer meetings. Par ishioners were urged to attend a "deliverance day" rally at Man hattan center where Negro church leaders expected an aud ience of 12,000. The Protestant Council of the city of New York has endorsed the day of prayer but did not direct individual churches to plan or organize special serv ices. Twenty-five Negro ministers, matching the number of Negro clergymen arrested in Mont gomery, passed out 30,000 print ed lapel cards at main subway entrances in Manhattan, Brook lyn and the Bronx. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Los Angeles said sev eral hundred churches will stay open during the day for the spe cial prayers. , JAPAN BUDGET OK'd Tokyo (U.R) Japan's Parlia ment Tuesday approved the big gest national budget in the coun try's history.

HENDERSON Eagle Point Mrs. Jack Fortin, Eagle Point, assisted by her aunt, Mrs. Jack Tyrell of Lake Creek, was hostess at luncheon at her home March 21 to six relative guests. Tie occasion was in honor of Miss Margaret Tyrrell, who is a missionary recently returned to her home in Rogue River on a year's furlough, from four years service in Nigeria, Central Africa. Three other young wom en from different parts of this country went with her and all lived in the same compound. They all are teachers and taught native girls to be teachers in the missionary schools there: Miss Tyrell is a daughter of Arden Tyrell of Rogue River, and is a cousin of Mrs. Fortin and Mrs. Zundel. Other guests were Mrs. Gold Zundel, Lake creek; Julia Dow and Mrs. Jack Tyrell, also of Lake creek; Mrs. Joe Bowdoin and son Stephen, who live on Gregory road near Medford; a sister of the honor guest, Miss Directors of WCLA Three Medford men were named directors of the West Coast Lumbermen's association at the annual meeting in Port land March 22. They were T. K. Oliver, Timber Products; George Flanagan, Elk Lumber company; and A. A. Lausmann, Kpgap Lumber company. N. B. Giustina was re-elected president. Ralph E. Clark, executive of the association of American Rail roads, addressing the 45th an nual meeting, promised the lum bermen as many freight cars as they need this summer, but his pledge was hedged by several reserves. Gov. Elmo Smith spoke to the group, lauding the west coast in dustry for taking the lead in de veloping new payrolls, new products and new means of utiliz ing timber resources. Giustina and Lawrence D. Kellogg, president of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers as sociation, both urged greater support by the entire industry of the association's national ad vertising and merchandising program. Tyrell, and Mrs. J. A. Tyrrell, a sister-in-law, who lives in Rogue River. Miss Tyrrell gave a talk on the customs and ways of life among the natives at the meet ing of the Missionary society at the Community church here in the afternoon, and displayed an exhibit of some of the handicraft, also of witchcraft and the medi cine men, made by the natives. Those attending found her talk interesting and shocking at the same time, with listeners finding it hard to realize that such con ditions really exist anywhere on earth in this modern day. One of the remarks made by the speaker was to the effect that the African native thinks, and does not hesitate to say that we, the white people, are the ones who need to be educated. The writer is inclined to agree in part that that statement is at least good food for thought. " Miss Tyrrell plans to return to Africa at the expiration of her year of furlough. o in V Careers Availabl Interior Offices Opportunities for careers in the department of interior were outlined this week by Robert E.
