GUATEMALA CITY, Mareh 20— Guatemals is primed for a revolution or reform, and most persons within the country believe that ome or the other must come within a few weeks. ‘With rigid eensorship over letters and telegrams, though constitutiopal gusr- anties are not openly suspended; gold- braided generals thronging the presi- dential ante rooms, barefoot soldiers tramping the streets of the capital and instructions issued to eonsuls abroad, frontier carefull rutinige the Feoorts GUeL vishng Tordmers, and stranger entering cturesque volcanoes and Indians and creaking ox carts, easily senses the prevailing uncertainty. The censorship, which applies even to com- mercial code messages, rts unacceptable to rom leaving the country.

Joseph Stalin, known as- the strong man of Russia since the death of Lenin, who was chairman of the central com- mittee, has held the dominant position in the Communist party despite attacks by the opposition, which he crushed.

Under an agreement for limitation of debate, the Senate today took up a proposal of Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington for a tariff of $1.50 a thousand board feet on softwood lum- ber, now on the free list. Opening the lumher debate, Senator Jones took notice of the charges of vote trading and deplorgd them as unwarranted. ' “The mere faet that a Senator doesn't agree with me,” he told the Senate, “or vote as T want him to vote doesn't lead me to belieye that there has been eny or bargain.” e ‘Suspicious Shifting” Charged.
