New Battle for Power
Declared Possible by
Washington iU.R) A new
battle lor power which could
lead to the same re:gn-of-terror
tactics for which they now de
nounce Stalin may develop
among Russia's leaders, diplo
mats said today.
Experts said such a struggle
within the Kremlin should not
be discounted despite the cur
rent Soviet emphasis on collec-
live leadership and the bitter
denunciation of Stalin's one-man
rule,
Moscow's atmosphere of sus
picion and political intrigue,
they said, may have become
more intense after Soviet Com
munist boss Nikita S. Khru
shchev delivered his now-famous
condemnation of Stalin last Feb
ruary. Full details of the Khru
shchev speech were made public
by the State Department Mon
day. The department obtained a
copy of the 58-page, 26,000-word
speech from a "confidential
source."
Murder Question Arises
Among other things, the
speech again raised the question
of whether Stalin died a natural
death March 5, 1953, or was
murdered. Speculation that he
might have been muidered was
raised by Khrushhev's disclosure
that Stalin had been planning
before his own death "to finish
off" some of his top aides.
Khrushchev said Stalin had
marked for liquidation Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov
and Trade Minister Anastas Mi
koyan and other "old members
of the political bureau."
This raised the question of
Commission OKs
Parks Expenditure
Portland U.F The State
Highway commission yesterday
approved a $2,047,000 expendi
ture over the next five-year per
iod for expansion of the state
park system.
Of the total fund alloted for
the five year park program, C.
H. Armstrong, state Park super
intendent, estimated that S 1,307,
000 would be used for construc
tion and development and $740.
000 for the construction of roads

on 27 separate highway projects,
totaling S2.185.507.
The commission approved a
$269,000 expenditure to correct
slide conditions at five trouble
spots. Three of the spots were in
the Siskiyou mountains on High
way 99.
Last year the number of per
sons utilizing state parks was
6,818,827, .Armstrong said, com
pared to 2.157,480 in 1948. He
estimated that the total would
increase to somewhere between
12.000,000 and 15,000,000 by
1975.
One Person Injured

Sen. Hickenlooper
Wins Renomination
In Iowa Primary
Des Moines. Ia. (U.R) Sen.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper won
renomination to a third term
Monday in an Iowa primary elec
tion that saw the "farm protest"
vote suddenly dissolve.
Hickenlooper, who helped
fashion the administration's flex
ible price support program,
handed Iowa Attorney General
Dayton (Cracker Dry) Country
man a Z-to-1 beating for the GOP
senatorial nomination. Country
man had staked his campaign on
an appeal to the "farm protest"
vote by advocating high, rigid
price supports.
Concedes Defeat
Countryman, commenting that
"the farmers have shown that
they are "happy'," conceded de
feat to Hickenlooper with just
over one-third of the precincts
reporting.
Hickenlooper's renomination
set up another test of the flexi
ble versus high price supports in
this fall's Iowa general election.
R. M. (Spike) Evans, one-time
head of the Agriculture Adjust
ment Administration, won nom
ination over comparative new
comer Lumund F. Wilcox. Both
of the Democrats had advocated
high, rigid price supports.
68 Per Cent of Vote
Hickenlooper, who garnered
73 per cent of the vote in the
1950 primary against nominal
opposition, approached that fig
ure again this year against Coun
tryman's bid. He grabbed 68 per
cent of the vote.
With 2,28fi of 2.515 precincts
reporting. Hickenlooper had
141,962 votes to 67.678 for Coun
tryman, or 67.7 per cent of the
vote. Evans had 59.133 to 35.828
for Wilcox, or 62.3 per cent of
the vote.
Americans' Personal
Income Sets Record
Washington (U.R) The per
sonal income of Americans hit
an all time high in April, the
Commerce Department reported
today.
Personal Income, In the par
lance of government economists,
is the total received by individ
uals in the form of wages, sal
aries, dividends, interest, income
from farms and the profits of
private proprietorship busi
nesses. It does not include cor
porate income.
In April, personal income was
running at an annual rate of
$317,100,000,000. That is, if the
April rate was continued for a
full pear, it would amount to
$317,100,000,000.
This represented an increase
of $2,000,000,000 over the an
nual rate reported for March.
A jump of approximately the
same size occurred between Feb-;
ruary and March.
Communists Abstain In
Paris (U.R) The Commun
ist party decided to abstain in
tonight's National Assembly
vote of confidence on Premier
Guy Mollet s Algerian and gen
eral policies, virtually assuring
the government of victory.
The Reds, who have supported
Mollet in the past, decided at a
strategy meeting to cast their
150-vote bloc neither for nor
against the government in the
latest test of strength.
Mollet, a Socialist, has consist
ently resisted their efforts to
force him into a ' popular front"
in line with the latest Moscow
line, and has insisted he could
win without their help.

"sudden brain hemorrhage."
Many experts still believe he
died as a result of this third
stroke, a hard-working life, a
heart condition and old age. He
was 72. Eut Khrushchev's words,
other experts said, show that
the inner circle of the Kremlin
leaders may have had good
reason to kill him.
Now Riding High
Diplomats said there is no
reason to believe that the strug
gle for power within the Krem
lin that . began with Stalin's
death has ended. They said that
Khrushchev now is riding high
and apparently taking steps to
consolidate his power inside the
Russian government and the
Communist party.
They noted that of the three
men who delivered orations at
Stalin's funeral, one is dead and
"two down-graded. Lavrenti P.
Beria, secret police chief, has
been shot. Molotov has lost his
foreign minister's job. Georgi
Malenkov, who succeeded Stalin
for a short while, lost that job.

Cancer of Pancreas
Deaths on Decline
Detroit (U.R) Steady re
duction in the number of deaths
from cancer of the pancreas
was reported today by two ex
perts at the National Cancer
Conference.
Drs. Bernard Zimmerman and
John W. Waugh said fatalities
have been reduced because ex
tensive surgery can now be done
with safety.
Zimmerman, of the University
of Minnesota Medical School,
and Waugh, of the Mayo Clinic,
are among 1200 doctors, scien
tists and specialists from the
United States and Europe at
tending the conference.
They said that "numerous
survivals and presumed cures"
.from this form of cancer are on
the upgrade and said surgery
on the pancreas "is being done
with safety and mortality not
exceeding that of other large
abdominal operations."
Vote on Mollet
The Communist decision to ab
stain means that Mollet can
count on support from right
wing and more moderate groups
for victory.

Australia Hopes
To Entice Many
British Residents
Sydney (U.R) Australian im
migration authorities hope to en
tice 500 British residents to
pack their bags each week this
year and come to Australia as
assisted migrants.
The recruiting campaign In
Britain emphasizes the oppor
tunities here for children. Post
ers advertising Australia are
displayed in more than 25,000
United Kingdom post offices.
and ads are being place in daily
and weekly newspapers through
out Britain.
The drive is part of Australia's
campaign to increase its popu
lation by migration. Each mi
grant is offered financial help
in arranging his passage to Aus
tralia and guaranteed a job and
a start for himself and his fam
ily when he arrives.
Already the Australian gov
ernment has brought more than
a million and a quarter immi
grants here in the past eight
years. It hopes to get another
quarter of a million from Brit
ain alone this year.
Workers Needed
As an inducement to come
here, the department of immi
gration offers free passage to
children under 14 years of age.
Adults can make the trip by pay
ing only 10 each; Australia
pays the rest of the passage.
The new drive is aimed at ob
taining workers in more than
100 specialized occupations rang
ing from medical practitioners
to welders.
A department spokesman said
the only limitation on British
migrants are those imposed by
shipping accommodations and
normal health and character re
quirements. In March, 3.274 British mi
grants sailed for Australia, the
greatest number in any one
month since July of last year.
and officials said all ships sail
ing from Britain to Australia
are booked solid with migrants
for the coming months, includ
ing the New Australia owned
jointly by the British and Aus
tralian Governments which
sails late in May with 1,580 Aus
tralian-bound migrants.

night not to look for drought
relief from President Eisenhow

Monaco Awaits
Couple's Return
Monte Carlo, Monaco (U.R)
Prince Rainier and Princess
Grace headed back today to a
principality buzzing with rumors
she is expecting a baby in Jan
uary. The royal yacht left Majorca,
Spain, Monday for the run to
the sun-specked Riviera play
ground but the sea was rough
and the journey could be de
layed. .There was no confirmation of
the reports the princess is ex
pecting. Father Francis Tucker,
the American priest who played
Cupid, said they had told him
nothing about it.
Monegasques were hoping
the rumors were true. An heir
would prevent the pricipality
from reverting to France. If-that
happens, the Monegasques
would have to pay taxes and
would be subject to French mil
itary duty.
No special welcome was plan
ned for the royal couple but
townspeople had red and white
flags ready to drape from their
windows the moment their
sovereign's return was an
nounced. The prince and princess were
married April 29.

Navy Will Keep
Aerobee Rocket
White Sands Proving Grounds,
X.M. (U.R) The Navy said to
day it had no intention of aban
doning its high altitude Aero
bee rocket despite a second test
failure of the missile in less than
a month.
An Aerobee "Hi," sent aloft to
investigate sun spots Monday
fizzled out before it shot past
the Earth's atmosphere and
crashed to the desert. The rock
et's instrument filled nose was
smashed to bits.
The Navy said it did not plan
to abandon the project but
Cmdr. E. W. Diehl, naval re
search laboratory and Interna
tional Geophysical Year project
chairman, said "something will
have to be done" to spruce up
the Aerobee "Hi."
Diehl said an apparent motor
defect in the rocket was causing
it to "lag behind" in research
for the International Geophysi
cal Year program.
The Aerobee "Hi" is the spec
ially developed missile designed
for altitudes up to about 165
miles, seven miles higher than
the present altitude record, and
using an extremely concentrated
liquid propellant.
Monday's rocket, which sput
tered up to 36 miles and then
began its dive into the desert
floor, had been set off loaded
with cameras to examine .electro-magnetic
storms on the sun's
surface. A similar rocket crashed
before newsmen in an exhibition
less than a month ago.
