This time. in unofficial views expressed here Thursday night. the power has been divided two ways between Leonid Brezhnev, first secretary of the Commu—l nist party. and new Premier: Alexei Nikola'yevich Kosygin.

Washington Suggests Maior Policy Issues

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The retirement of Premier Khrushchev hit with stunning impact in the non-Soviet Com- munist world.

Western countries, preoccu- pied with problems such as the British election and the Ameri-

can election campaigning, ap- ~ 7 party officials talking privately po

peared to take a surprised am. wondering bystander role.

In New York, President John- son said the replacement oi Khrushchev may or may not be a sign of big turmoil or changes to come. but that the American people would remain steadfast.

He told a rally of the Liberal party in Madison Square Gar- den there is a need for Ameri- cans to keep steady in their goals.

“We will be firm. but we will be restrained." he said “We can meet any test but our quest is always for peace.

MUST EYE STARS

"We must keep our eyes the stars but our feet. both of them. on the ground. We do not want to bury anyone anywhese and we do not intend to be bur led ourselves."

In Washington, officials ex- pressed belief Khrushchev was forced out because of major is sues of policy.

Speculation centred on the probability that others in the Soviet ruling group were dis- pleased primarily with Khrusn- chev's handling of the problem of ties within the Communist Bloc—a problem arising out oi the split between Russian and Communist China.

in the us. view it is consid- ered likely that Khrushchev's critics felt the Soviet Union had lost too much influence with the Cornmunist countries of Eastern Europe. which have shown in- creasing independence, and with Communist parties in Western

VIGOROUS SPEECH Khrushchev delivered his vig orous speech against Staiinism at the 20th congress in 1956. The 22nd congress in 1961 set long-term goals for improved economic conditions and the at- tainment of communist goals. The statement appeared to be ai ed at reassuring Russian readers that, the shift of lead- to evils that Khrushchev ascribed to/Joseph Stalin - and to tell them they still can

hope for better livmg con- ditions.

The shift in leadership opens the possibilities of policy

changes. however. Most dram- atic be an attempt at reconciliation between Moscow and Peking. This would pose new questions of Soviet rela- tions with the West.

Brezhnev. at 57, is 13 years younger than Khrushchev. Kosygin is 60.

The shifts mean. in any event that the 10-year Khrushchev lcra is over. It embraced cold is co - existence. and brought. a liberalization of the regimes in E astern Eurooe which now seems likely to go into .abeyance. at least for the time being.

The announcement saii'. Khrushcbcv's release—this was Tass' word—was granted this week. The party central com mittee met Wednesday to take up his request for retirement. it added. His release as first secretary was agr Wednesday and his retirement as premier was voted Thurs-

The action closes a decade during which Khrushchev dom inated most of the Communist world. He wound up with the red world shaken as Lenin and Stalin never could have lmsg ined—in the midst of an ideolog- ical scramble with Red China.

Pearson Warns Extremists

TORONTO (CPi—Prime Min- ister Pearson called on "true Canadians" Thursday to over- whelm by demonstrations of loyalty an extremist minority that would destroy the count.\'.

He warned violence - minded separatists in Quebec they will not be able to “blackmail” th: rest of the country into meeting minority demands.

l-le defended his government's decision to go ahead with Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Canada Oct. 5-13 in the face of threats and demonstrations by Quebec sep- aratists that received sive and exaggerated" publicity in some case .

Mr. Pearson told a luncheon meeting of the Empire Club of Toronto’he was subjected to "worry. anxiety and indeed pressure . . . from a few extre- mists in one part of Canada.“

“The purpose of these crude threats and pressures was to get the government to cancel

(the extremistsi a prestige and authority which they did IIOL deserve and should not have. . .

"To cancel the visit in the face of threats of this kind would have been their triumph and our humiliation."

Mr Pearson said the Queen's visit gave millions an opportu- nity to express “the alty, respect and affection of all true Canadians for the person and office of Her Ma'jes y."

But the visit also “underlined in an unhappy way—indeed. in a humiliating way—that there is a small minority that would destroy our country."
