ns. MALENKOV’S 100 DAY REGIME |LIFE SHOWS SIGNS OF INSECURITY Trouble Inside Russia Said To Be Reason For Peace Motives By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst The Soviet regime under Premier Georgi Malenkov is 100 days old old tomorrow. In foreign affairs Moscow may look on the period ms a success, but internally the indications seem to add up to in- security and nervousness. By some of the most stubborn Peace offensive to date, the new regime has delivered preliminary medgehammer blows on a wedge evidently intended to split Allied unity. But some of the reason for the peace offensive appears to stem from internal considerations within the USSR itself and the Communist Europe and Asia, The day after the Kremlin an- nounced the death of Joseph Stalin, ‘ Georgi Maxmilianovitch Malenkov was proclaimed Premier. For a short time there was a flurry of glorification and it appeared he might attempt to be Stalin’s full successor, But the glorification stopped. Malenkov has had to share his power. Will this rule by committee last in a totalitarian state? Probably not. In the first hundred days there has been much evidence that the struggle for power.at the top is not ended, that the Soviet Army N still contains the seeds of a threat to the top Communist rulers, that the party has had to make many striking concessions to Soviet pub- lie feelings. All this has indicated insecurity ‘at the top level. In foreign affairs, the outstand- ing feature of the new regime was the peace offensive, leading up to the Korean truce developments, other tactical retreats in Germany and Austria, and stepped up propa- ganda against the Western Allies in the backward countries of Africa and Asia. * Domestically, these developments stood out: 1, A press attack on “one-man rule,” with overtones of a revolt against the memory of the dictator Stalin : 2. The “rights” campaign, direct- ed at the Soviet pubiic to persuade it that the 1936 constitution is its protector, that people can work and live without fear of arbitrary arrest and imprisonment. Tied in with this was the amnesty libera- ting certain classes of persons in prisops.and labor eamps. 3, The reversal of the ‘doctors’ plot.” The'stagé had been set for a show trial of doctors, some of them Jewish, accused of conspiring to kill Soviet leaders. Suddenly the doctors were freed, their accusers arrested. There is much specula- tion that Stalin himself ey rac « the plot. 4. The streamlining a the gov- ernment, giving more authority to ministries in the fields for which they are repsonsible, indicating an attempt’ to cut/ through the vast maze of Soviet bureaucracy built up over several decades. 5, The reversal of some of the political decisions of the 19th Com- munist party congress of last Oct- ober, reverting to rule at the top OY a small clique, now called a jum of the party. 6. The severe crackdown on par- ~ ties and governments in the 15 republics outside Great Russia. In the republic of Georgia, birthplace of Stalin and home state of police czar Lavrenty P.

Molotov ig listed as third man in a tri- ‘amvirate, but the indications have been that he is unwanted there by the other two. However, Mol- otov’s strong personal following in the Communist party and the Army continues to keep him at the top | of the heap. The arrangemeat probably will persist for a while, The collegium | fuling the Soviet Uvion seems in} agreement on the program facing | the country at the present time: an enormous buildup of economic | — atrength at the expense of the Sov. jet consumers, to exert more pow. erfully the Soviet “international authority” offen referred to in the Soviet press, While this building goes on at home, the USSR can be expected to bend every effort to break up any non-Communisi coalition, to divide the non-Communist world, and to walt for economic disloca- fins abroad. All the evidence to- | day points to this: that the USSR fs sure the capitalist economie crisis is near at hand The Malenkov - Beria. - Tregimé appears to be the “deepening crisis of a ling on world cap- empire in Eastern the impression | Js that Malenkov ru'es in combina. | tion with Beria, vd that they are} By SIGRID ARNE AP NEWSFEATURES Writer WASHINGTON, (#—Writer Em- met J, Hughes has the most illustrious editor in the country. The man who blue - pencils his work is President Eisenhower. “He's an exellent editor,” Hughes tells you as he stokes his pipe. “He knows just what he wants to say, and he knows the exact words to say it.” In a quiet office overlooking the | White House front lawn, Hughes turns out the President’s speeches, | messages to Congressmen, procla- mations. Other presidents have had two or three writers and on oc- casion a whole team. Hughes is the youngest man on Eisenhower's White House staff—he’s 32—and the only writer, He works from 8 to 6 unless there’s a special job on hand, Then ‘he may work ’round the clock or a week end. The foreign policy speech which the President made to editors is an example. “T’ve forgotten how many con- ferences we had on that,” says Hughes, “It was confidential until released. So I either carried my draft home for work, or it was locked up.” Hughes is a serious person with a deep voice, a high forehead and black hair already touched with gray. He was born in Newark, J., took a Princeton degree in 1941 and a Columbia _ University degree in political science in 1942, He has had concentrated assign- ments in the foreign affairs he must now write about. In 1942-’46 he was with military intelligence in Madrid. Out of that experience he wrote two successful books. In 1946 he went to Rome for the magazine Life and Time. In 1948 he shifted to Berlin and re- turned in 1949 to the New York offices. Another Time-Life graduate on the Eisenhower staff is tall, rangy C. D. Jackson, the link between the President and all the phases of the cold war. Jackson, well over six feet, ar- rives at work in a little foreign car that looks like a toy. He gained wide experience in World War II in the type of work he now heads. Jackson is 51 and married. He graduated from Princeton in 1924 and after some years of running his family’s importing business joined Time as assistant to the president. The man who has to be certain that what the President does is in accord with the law of the land is a Newark, N. J., lawyer-- Bernard M, Shanley. He’s 49, with thick gray hair and a constant smile. His home at Barnardsville, N. J., was bought with five chil- -three boys and two girls-in . They raise much of what they eat. Shanley is responsible for finding one spot in which the President | can cut down on some of the routine chores of his office. The rafts of papers he has to take in for Eisenhower's signature includ- ed many reassignments of naval loud whether he had to sign them, | a/Shanley dug back through law books to find that the President could issue an order transferrin; the signing to the Chief of Nav: operations, Shanley is hunting other such possibilities.

Behind-The-Scenes Glimpse . . » President’s Aides Have Full-Time Tasks Friday, June 12, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 7 House Appropriations Group Today Says Much Sharper Slashes To Be Made On Budget By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON (#—With nine per cent already lopped off Presi- dent Eisenhower’s pared-down for- eign aid budget, a House Appropri- ations Committee member pre- dicted today “much sharper slashes” will be made. « The House Foreign Affairs Com- mittee yesterday voted 18-5 to approve $4,998,732,500 for overseas aid in the year beginning July 1. This was 476 million dollars less than the President’s pruned down requests and about 35 per cent less than recommended by former President Truman. The committee vote only estab- lished a ceiling fur the actual appropriations, which must be approved later. Rep. Glenn R. Davis (R-Wis), a member of the House Appropria- tions subcommittee concerned with foreign aid, said his group is talk- ing of deeper slashes and will study the bill ‘‘very carefully.” The House Foreign Affairs Com- mittee authorization of $4,998,732,- 500—which compares with $5,312,- 732,500 approved earlier by the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee—is expected to reach the House floor sometime after the middle of the week. The House committee also voted, against the President’s implied views, to withdraw more than one billion dollars of new funds ear- marked for European military aid unless the six-nation European Defense Community is formed. Rep. Richards (D-SC), author of the amendment, said he hoped it would spur European parliaments into ratifying the treaty to set up an international army. Only West Germany has approved this treaty. The amendment, approved by a 2-1 majority, would earmark one half of European military aid for the European Defense Community. Congress appropriated $6,031,000,- 000 for foreign aid last year, after cutting Truman’s request by 25 per cent, Eisenhower sliced more than two billion dollars from the $7,600,000,- 000: Truman budget in two succes- + THRES HOTELS in MIAMI sive cuts this time. Eisenhower was described as “pleading” with House committee leaders, at a con- ference Tuesday, to get them to prevent further slashes. It was felt in some quarters that this personal appeal by Eisen- hower dissuaded some members who had talked of big scale reduc- tions. The House measure would auth- orize these main expenditures: European military aid—$2,079,- 689,750, a cut of 100 million dollars in Eisenhower's pregram. Near Eastern military aid— $305,212,637, a reduction of 100 million. Defense support funds for Europe —200 million dollars, a cut of 100 million. 0 Latin American military assis- tance—15 millions, unchanged. Other economic funds to stimu- late production of military equip- ment—684 millions, unchanged. Economic aid to underdeveloped areas——$453,634,500, unchanged. Korean relief~—71 millions, un- changed, The House group cut 150 millions from a special 250 million dollar fund the administration asked to begin the development of non- atomic weapons. The Senate had cut the request by 100 millions. - The House committee also elim- inated 25. millions earmarked for the exploitation of raw materials and cut one million from a $1,825, 000 fund to help pay for private relief packages sent abroad.
