By HENRY SHAPIRO
Uniled Press Correspondent
Moscow IP) The inter
service rivalries between the
armed forces characteristic of
America are virtually non
existent in Russia.
There are two main reasons:
1. There is a truly unified
military command. 1
2. Final absolute power
rests in the Communist party.
"From the very foundation
of the Red Army in 1918, the
Communist party has con
trolled and directed the armed
services and has not permitted
emergence of a professional
soldier class which might
claim independent political i
power.
It was true under Lenin
and it -is true under Khrush
chev.
Until Marshal Georgi Zhu
kov became defense minister,
top command of the unified
armed services had been held
by a soldier whose back
ground actually was heavier
in party and government
service.
And the ease with which
Zhukov was removed on
charges he had challenged the
party's absolute control
underlies that Russia's lead
ers can and intend to keep it
that way.
The Soviet Union lacks a
constitution commander - in -chief
such as the American
president. It was only during
World War II when Stalin as
sumed the title, "supreme
commanded-in-chief," that
authority was vested in one
man.
Now the command is collec
tive the Presidium of the
Supreme Soviet (Parliament)
of the USSR. And due to the
parallel state and party struc
tures with ultimate authority
in the party, it is the Central
Committee of the Communist
party which has decisive con
trol of the military.
Nikita Khrushchev holds no
formal military post what
soever. But as party chief re
sponsible for the conduct of
all Soviet affairs, he naturally
exercises considerable author
ity in iiiilitary affairs.
The top man in the military
establishment now is Marshal
Rodiori Malinovsky who re
placed Zhukov as defense
minister. Malinovsky is re
sponsible to Premier Bulganin
who, in turn, is responsible to
the Supreme Soviet and the
Communist party.
Much of Russia's missile re
search was done by the "Acad
emy of Artillery Sciences" as
well as the air force and naval
scientific research institutes.
Names of the top research
directors have not been made
public.
If Russia does have one su- j cabinet which in turn submits
preme missile chief, I do not it to the Supreme Soviet. But
know or could not file the budgets are first approved by
the party
The military budget is sub
mitted by the defease minis
ter to the equivalent of the
Malinovsky runs the de
fense establishment from a re
built six story palace which
was formerly a czarist mili
tary academy. Located five
minutes' walk from the Krem
lin, the Bolsheviks renovated
and enlarged it but it is still
small compared to the Pentagon.
DIGGING THROUGH DEEP SNOW, workmen try to free railway engine marooned
for days on Aberdeen-Peterhead line in Scotland. Unusually heavy snows have stalled
traffic throughout greater part of northern Scotland for nearly a week. (International)
New Jersey Man's Slaying of
13 Worst in Recent History
Deserter Committed
To State Hospital
Richland (IP Barney E.
Blackwell, 36, who was
charged with desertion and
non-support after a three
months' absence, has been
tftdered commited to Eastern
State Hospital at Medical
Lake.
The order was issued after
a sanity hearing here Tues
day. Blackwell disappeared
from a family picnic last Aug
ust and turned up in Tennes
see in December, claiming
he was the victim of amnesia.
He later admitted the story
was a hoax and pleaded guilty
to the desertion and non-support
charges. He faces sen
tencing on these charges after
his release from Eastern
State.
By UNITED PRESS
The worst one-man massa
cre in recent criminal history
occurred in the streets and
shops of a Camden, N. J.,
neighborhood in 10 minutes
one hot September day in
1949.
Howard Unruh, 28, a "mod
el" young man, killed 13 per
sons ranging from a 3-year-
old child to a 60-year-old
grandmother and surrendered
without a fight because
don't have anything against
the police." He had shot three
other persons, who recovered
from their wounds.
Killed To Get Even
Unruh, who apparently
plotted the slayings to get
even for" a series of petty
grievances against his neigh
bors, was declared insane and
committed to a hospital for
the criminally insane.
In another recent mass
murder spree, in 1953, a young
Marine, accompanied by a
teen-age girl friend, killed
five persons in a cross-country
crime wave that started near
Rochester, N. Y., and got the
couple as far as Dubugue,
Iowa.
Fred E. McManus, 18,
AWOL from a Marine train
ing camp, first killed a col
lege student, William A.
Braverman, who had given
him a lift, then picked up his
girl friend, Diane Marie Weg
geland. He killed a man and
wife in a Kenneyville, 111.,
store in a holdup that netted
nothing, got S8 in a bloodless
hold-up at Dubuque and shot
two women dead in an all
night tavern at Spring Valley,
Minn. The couple was cap
tured on the fourth day near
Dubuque. McManus was sen
tenced to life imprisonment.
Bodies Tossed Into Mine
In another recent mass
murder, William E. Cook,
Dec. 30, 1950, stopped a car
at gunpoint in Oklahoma and
forced Carl Mosser, Atwood,
111., his wife and their three
small children to drive aim
lessly about the Southwest
for four days before he killed
them all and tossed their
bodies into an abandoned
mine shaft at Joplin, Mo.
Cook killed another man in
California's Mojave desert
and was arrested Jan. 15,
1951, in Mexico, after a series
of similar kidnapings in which
he had spared his victims. He
was executed in California in
1952.
Hotel Compliments
MHS Band Members
The Hotel Drake Wiltshire,
San Francisco, has compli
mented instructors, parents
and students of Medford High
school for the conduct of band
members at the hotel during
their stay there late in De
cember. The Medford High school
band, which played at the
E a s t-West Shrine football
game Dec. 28, stayed at the
hotel.
General Manager John B.
Quigley wrote:
"It was again our pleasure :
to have the Medford, Ore., j
High school band as guests at I
the Drake Wiltshire at the!
end of last year. We again
wish to compliment your in
structors, the parents of these
children and the children
themselves on their exem
plary conduct while they were
here. It is always a pleasure
to accommodate these young
people, as they are always
well behaved and mannerly
about the hotel.
"We hope that we shall
have the pleasure of seeing
them again at the end of this
year."

FACTORY CHESS GAME
Vienna API The Czech
Communist Party organ Rude
Pravo reported today that
many workers at the Pilsen
locomotive factory play chess
on the job instead of working.
Noting that production at the
plant sank 19 per cent last
year and that foreign cus
tomers were getting impa
tient for long delayed orders,
the paper said "employees at
the Lenin works in Pilsen
sometimes play chess for
many hours when they should
be at work."
SNOW BUNNY'S PARADISE While it rained heavily
throughout Northern California over the last weekend,
the storm brought joy to many a snow bunny as it de
posited about two feet of snow in the Sierras. The above
scene, made on U. S. Highway 40 at Sugar Bowl, near
Donner Pass, shows the effect of the snowfall. Cars are
buried, under drifts, but skiers trekked undaunted toward
the slopes. More snow is expected.
