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

Soviet security chief was exe

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."

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. ,

Relatives Attend Luncheon
By PEARL L. 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.
