The secretary, who has taken a firm stand in favor of the flexible variety, said he -is glad the issuer is\ “bui in the open.” >. He said he hopes he can “win over” some congressmen and others (who favor current fixed , levels of price supports. Ts not, he said, “maybe I will be won over.

Many Questions Arise iOver Stalin's Illness

i EDITOR'S NOTE: Here are Answers to some of the questions that have arisen in connection with Stalin’s illhess.

Afr-There are three men who appear ip line for succession: Georgl Malenkov, Vacheslav Molotov and Ldprenti Beria. i jQ —Who is Malenkov? A—He is pudgy 51-year-old Cpmmfenist who rose to power 'during World .War 11. He came up in the taliks with Stalin and has exeteiited iron fisted control over the ail powerful Communist party. During the war he was a member of the of five which directed Russia’s defense. HO is the man Washington dpd London believe is likely to succeed to Stalin’s powers.

McCarthy Demands Department Files facing Showdown • *.on Security Files A Washington up — sen/'fb--Bsls R. McCarthy confidently facjfed a major showdown with the dew administration today over acto secret state' department security files. /Tl don’t think we’ll have any trojihle,” the Wisconsin Republican .said. “I Relieve they will givo uis : all the > information we need." AfcCarthy ordered State Department officials to produce for his senhte permanent investigating ccftnmlttee the security files on twq employes; He said the subcommittee would subpena the files it nieceSaary. jtfhe demand may force President; Eisenhower to a quick decision }on whether to modify, keep oir rescind former President Truman’s Controversial against disclosure of any loyalty informa-. 'Wrt \ . ’McCarthy said he understood tab! justice .department is “giving considerable study” to the order. Biutbjie said he would not predict wh4t 'Mr. Eisenhower will do. The department said It had no cbrejment. “We s don’t comment on things like that until they are drink,” a spokesman said. The Wisconsin Republican’s demand. made Tuesday in the subcommittee’s “Voice of America” ihvddtigation, 1 brought ■ immediate top-idvel policy huddles at the siiatie department lasting well intb thejnight. •McCarthy Tuesday ordered two department officials to disclose whether Edmiuhd Schechter and Theodore Kaghan, now employed by the U.

will avoid war if possible, v Q —Who is Molotov? A —The best known of the three probable candidates to the western world. He is Malenkov's most formidible opponent. Molotov is vice premier of the Soviet Union and a member of the Communist party presidium—one ■ of the most powerful bodies in the Soviet Union. Before the war he was considered the almost certain heir to Stalin’s power. | Q —What is known of his policies? A—He is characteristically bkd tempered and bitterly antbwest ern, and has no respect or love for anything non-Russian. His acces-. Sion to power quite possibly might worsen East-West relations. Q—Whq Is Beria? A—He is genetally considered to be an outsider in the race, as the ruthless, all-powerful chief of the Soviet secret police, the elaborate Soviet security 1 network and Russia’s atomic projects. He has long enjoyed the implicit trust of Stalin. To challenge Malenkov and Molotov he would have the potent weapon of his 250,000 crack agents in a sort of private army. Informed sources say there is no present indication Beria is likely to bid for power. Q—What is known of his policies? A —He probkbly would follow much the same course in world affairs as Stalin. Little opportunity has arisen for him to express himself on foreign affairs since his duties and his party and govern- ' ment responsibilities have been primarily concerned with maintenance of internal order and party discipline. \. Q—What is likely to happen inside Russia itself? A—The struggle for power within Russia almost certainly will precipitate a new series of purges—probably duplicating the blood baths which marked Stain’s own relentless drive to attain absolute despotism following the death of Lenin. Whatever man or group of men finally gains supreme control almost certainly will liquidate his rivals and their followers.
