Former Russ Premier Kerensky Sees Little Hope Of Red Overthrow
White haired former Russian Premier Alexander Kerensky told about 300 Sidney residents at the High School auditorium that revolution in the Soviet Union has little chance while the state maintains such total control. He warned a westward aid could spark action but doubted atomic war would allow it. He criticized Bolshevism, described Communism as fear driven and inhuman, and noted seven to eight million Communists in Russia ruled by 500,000 to one million hard cores. He also quipped on Lenin Stalin Khrushchev and said he would return only if Communists fall, while praising Stalin as organizer and Khrushchev as promising but maintaining Marxist goals. Kerensky has lived in the U S twelve years and maintains a busy schedule with long days and daily two-hour walks.
