Hints About

A Struggle For Supremacy

ahilov, at I Kremlin ceremony New Year's Eve. decorated I group of generals including Col,- Gen I. V. Shikin This general dia- sppeered in 1045 after the death of Gen. Andri Zhdanov, onetime heir-apparent to Stalin. Mary of zhdanov's followers were purged after his death. lnclud' , polibburo member Nikolai Voaneaensky. and the way was cleared for the rise to power of the present premier.

Georgi Malenkov.

ARMY ADMINISTIATOI

ahikin was an adviser to Zhdanov during the Germans' siege of Len- ingrad, which Zhdanov finally lifted. Later, on the death of Polit- buro member A. 3. shcherbekov in 104.0. shikin succeeded him as po- litical administrator tor the grmy.

shcherba.kov's name came up in January, 1068. two months before Stalin's death. in the notorious "doctors' plot". He was alleged to have been assaxinated by medics mistreatments in e plot again: Soviet leaders. The whole plot was discredited after Stalin's death in a swift series of events leading up to the purge of police boss Lav- renty Beria.

shikln's rehabilitation may not mean Premier Malenkov. oldtime ice of Zhdanov in the long struggle for Stalin's mantle, is in imminent danger. However, it doc nothing to diminish the statute oi: party boss Khruschev.

NOTICEABLE TREND i '

The current line of Soviet foreign policy sounds like the Stalin- Zhdanov policy of old. It also sounds like the Khruschchev ap- proach as exemplified in his speech in Prague last September at the 10th Czech Communist party can- grass.

The soviet press has been build- ing up Khnmhev.

There has been I noticeable trend back to stalinlsm in the Sov- iet pres, along with unmistakable references to serious heresies and factlonaiism within the Communist party. Such statement are omi- nous in sound. Perhaps the "col-' lective leadership" principle of committee government which fol- lowed Stalin's death is beginning to come apart at the seams.
