Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 30, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol 92, no. 281 it. Pleasant Iowa monday evening november 30, 1970 Price to cents Cloudy these Days by John Chamberlain what is behind the leak of Khrushchev so a memoirs what goes on in the upper reaches it the Moscow communist Hierarchy where everything is supposed to be tightly controlled but apparently is not the latest evidence of Cross purposes is the release of former Premier Nikita Khrushchev a supposed memoirs to life Magazine. As might have been expected the Khrushchev a View or Joseph Stalin As presented in the memoirs is As dour As Ever Stalin was a madman who had poisoned the Good milk of Leninist doctrine and practically drowned Russia in blood. Since the official Moscow policy of the moment Calls for the partial rehabilitation of Stalin Why should the memoirs have been peddled the Moscow mystery journalist Victor Louis who writes for London a evening news was the broker in the Deal. What is Victor Louis a relation to the communist hierarchs he is supposed to be to the Good graces of the Kob the soviet secret police. To launch largest Telescope in space Cape Kennedy up a the u. S. Space Agency readied the worlds largest space Telescope for launch at Sunset today to give astronomers their clearest View yet of Distant stars and galaxies. The $83 million stargazer third of four automated orbiting astronomical observatories Oao was to be propelled into a 466-mile changes in Congress for 14 states Washington up a the census Bureau reported to president Nixon today the 1970 Popula tion of the United states was 204,-765,770 and that the congressional delegations of 14 states must be the Deal worked out with Ute at j a the hotel d Dangleterre in Copen Quot Hagen was not the first of its kind in Louis a career. In 1966, at the time of the Sinyavsky Daniel trial in Russia when soviet intellectuals were being put under the gun for allowing their manuscripts to go to the West Victor Louis was a go Between in the strange a a exile tour of Valery Tarsis a disaffected russian writer through Britain and the u. S. The Only logical explanation of the Tarsis a a exile which had been permitted was that the Kremlin counted on Tarsis to discredit himself the theory being that his expected eccentricities might cause westerners to think Sinyavsky and Daniel were dubious characters also. Too some time later Louis offered an alternative version of the memoirs of Stalin a daughter Svetlana to the West. Since Svetlana was on american soil and hence perfectly capable of marketing her own wares which the Kremlin wanted suppressed could the intention of the Victor Louis diversion have been to mess up the copyright situation and possibly the Kremlin counted on the pictures that went with the alternative manuscript to Tell an anti Svetlana Story. Whatever is behind Victor Louis a activities they add up to a confusion. Checking with Sovi ecologists one finds there Are several radically opposed theories of the motives behind the leak of the memoirs whose authenticity Khrushchev himself was repudiated. One theory is that there is a dissident group in the Kab and in the politburo itself that is anti Brezhnev and does no to want to see Stalin rehabilitated. Another theory is that the Kremlin is looking for an excuse to declare Khrushchev an enemy of the state for allowing his memoirs to be sold outside Russia. A third theory is that the Cia has had a hand in the whole business. This would have to mean there Are double agents inside the Kab itself. Of the confusion indicated in Moscow Over the Khrushchev memoirs comes at a Welcome time for the West for Christian Duevell a annual analysis of the soviet Central committees october slogans for radio Liberty is not very encouraging. Ever since 1967 the Kremlin had called every october for the a consolidation of All anti imperialist peace Loving forces to struggle against a reaction and War. But now the phrase a peace Loving has been dropped from the slogan. This As Duevel surmises Means that the soviets Are willing to accept help from anybody in their machinations against the West. Any palestinian guerrilla organization whether maoist or not is to be accepted in the a anti imperialist there Are other Subtle changes in the slogans that indicate a More intransigent soviet foreign policy All Down the Lane. What this portends for the Salt talks about a Mutual limitation of armaments is not exactly encouraging. The main Hope of the West is that a struggle for Power in Moscow itself is difficult for the tougher warmongers in the Kremlin.
