Charges U. S. Rushing West Toward War Malenkov In Charge During Keynote Os Russian Congress MOSCOW, UP —Politburo Memi ber Georgi M." Malenkov charged t at the opening of the 19th Soviet Communist party congress today that a Hitlerite regime in the United States ifc rushing the west toward a new world war. • ' Bqt, he told 1,5001 cheering delegates. “there is no force in the world.which can halt our progress.” Keynoting the congress for the first time in the place of premier Josef Stalin, Malenkov said the Soviet Union i isr “strengthening, and wil| continue to strengthen” its defenses against the possibility of an American attack. , ? He said Russia “is not afraid pt , war,”, but-i promised the Soviets would not attack the west. He'satd Russia believes in * the possibility of “peaceful co-existence between capitalism'and Communism.” Stalin sat apart on the platform, his chin cupped in his hand, listening as his trusted lieutenant made the opening address he himself had delivered at every previous party congress since the death of Nicolai Lenin in 1924. Malenkov, wearing a simple tunic without a single decoration, lashed out repeatedly at the United States during a. four-and-a-half hour speech I on internal and foreign!.. policy that lasted from Sunday night into the -early morning houirs tpday. ViacheSlav M. Molotov,' acting chairman of the congress and also a Politburo them ber likewise, ripped into the United States on grounds America and its Allies were arming “ever further, fanning up war hysteria and carrying out preparations for launching a world war.” War .can become unavoidable if the war-mongers, succeed' in enmeshing the-masses of the people in their lies, in deceiving them and them into a new world war,” he said. h ' Malenkov accused -,the United States of building military bases on tpe perimeter of the Soviet Union and saddling the junior western, partners with the burdens of ag-. gijessive American policies. He said the' U. S. moreover has impoverished its own working people, with taxes 12 times higher than in 19.16-38, 3,000,000 unemployed and 10,000,000 only semi-employed.' “The Soviet people, while firmly conducting their policy of peaceful cooperation with all the countries, simultaneously realise the existence of a new aggression threatened by the war-mongers who arq taking the extreme risk,” Malenkpy said. “Therefore, they are strengthening and will continue to strengthen their defenses.” If , - Although he sat on the sidelines I for the first time since he took over Os the party on the death of Nicolai Lenin in 1924, Stalin receivedthe greatest ovations of the night/ He was given a. standing ovation on his arrival in the marble-walled oak-panelled grand hall of the\ Supreme Soviet fH the first party congress since 1939. Cries of “Hurrah for Comrade Stalin!”, “Long Hjvq Comrade Stalin!”, and “Hurrah for Our Own Beloved Stalin!” Were heard from all parts of the halL i r • Then there were more rounds of applause and cheers when Molotov wound up his speech with: “Let our own great Stalin live for many yearns and in good, health!” .

Mobilization | Quarterly Report Made By Mobilizer y WASHINGTON, UP — Defense Ihobilizer Henry H. Fowler reported today that the mobilization program has , reached the point t where the nation must decide if it wants still greater defense production. In a quqartefly. report to the President on the mobilization effort, Fowler said expansion of the nation’s resources in- the past two years opens "new opportunities”, now' for enlarging military production or expanding the civilian economy. “We are, or will shortly be, at the 'stage where it Is feasible to accelerate the scheduled production of many important items of military equipment and to raise our goals—if the national security requires,” he said. \The title of Fowler’s report is new resources bring new opportunities, . Fowler did not recommend what course to follow once'the natipn’s resources “begin to rriove ahead of the requirements of our present (security program.” His report carried the implication. however, ! that the United States can —if it raises its goals—reach a minimum security goal by 1954, tjie year marked by the joint chiefs of staff as representing the greatest danger from Russia. In his report, Fowler emphasized that the country “faces a most critical period in the years immediately ahead. Wise decisions inay mean the difference between security and disaster.” The task noW, he said, “Is to choose Wisely—to apply our new resources where they will do the most good in terms of the national security and a sound well-balanced economy.” In terms of actual military production at present, Fowler said the output of military equipment now totals about 16,000,000,000 a quarter. Fowler emphasized that "the greater part of the defense mobilization effort still lies ahead,” With most of the military goods authorized by congress still to be delivered. Fowler said only 142,000,000,000 worth has been delivered or constructed; another $58,000,000,000 is on order, and contracts covering the remaining $30,000,000,000 will be let during the next nine months.
