Soviet explains why Stalin stayed in power after death
The Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party issued a two page Pravda resolution denying that fear or cowardice kept leaders from denouncing Stalin while alive. It says only after his death did crimes surface and Beria’s purge reveal the dangers of the cult of personality. It blasts Western slander and accuses Cold War advocates of funding subversion as Soviet leaders defend collective leadership and uphold the party.

Wilson Denies $800 Million for AF Impoundment
Wilson tells the Senate subcommittee that the extra 800 million for the Air Force will be spent when needed and will be treated like other funds. He notes Congress approved the defense bill despite Eisenhower’s hopes and says no recommendation exists to speed up B52 production beyond current plans. He argues the Air Force would not require the full amount to proceed with bomber plans and defends American air power against Soviet parity fears.
