T'HURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1984 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY .. COMMUNIST SHIFT: Satellite Parties Restive BERLIN (.)-Unrest is spread- ing in East European Communist Party ranks over the ouster of Nikita S. Khrushchev and in East Germany party meetings were re- ported yesterday to have been dis- rupted by unruly demonstrations. Communist organizations rarely admit their views are anything but unanimous. A communique issued yesterday by the official East German news agency suggested that unusual freedom of expression was given speakers from the floor during a meeting Tuesday of the "demo- cratic bloc," an organization of party workers, trade unions and youth groups. Information Bureau West, an unofficial W e s t e r n intelligence agency, said its East German sources reported visible unrest over last Thursday's fall of Khrush- chev among the middle and low- er ranks of the Communist Party. It said there had been an un- precedented flood of questions at seminars and several had to be broken off because the discussion leaders lost control of the meet- ings. Walter Ulbricht, the East Ger- man leader, has said nothing pub- licly. Hermann Matern, one of the top ideologists of the Red regime, was given the job of explaining the Khrushchev ouster to the "demo- cratic bloc." The meeting closed, saying it SOVIET PREMIER ALEXEI KOSYGIN (r.) and his predecessor, Nikita S. Khrushchev, are the center of a simmering controversy among Europe's Communists. Parties in East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Italy, France, Israel, Denmark and Norway have rapped Kosygin's methods and motives in removing Khrushchev. especially welcomed the commu- nique of the East German Central Committee, published Sunday. The communique said that Khrush- chev's ouster "has triggered deep emotions among our party and people." The East German party was among the first in Eastern Europe to say a kind word for the deposed Khrushchev. Give Details of Power Fight, Overthrow of Khrushchev MOSCOW {A)-Five secret policemen brought Nikita S. Khrush- chev back fighting mad from his Black Sea vacation to the Commu- nist Party meeting that threw him out of office, informed sources reported yesterday. The first tip Khrushchev had that the party Central Com- mittee had assembled in Moscow came in a telephone call, possibly from Leonid I. Brezhnev, the man who succeeded him as first party secretary, they said. The sources say members of the Central Committee began gather- ing in Moscow Oct. 11 or 12 after being summoned from as far away as New Delhi, where the Soviet ambassador is a committee member. Charges Charges were drawn up, including bungling of the Red China dis- pute, industrial and agricultural failures, personal excesses and crea- tion of a personality cult. The informants gave this account of the events that followed: Someone telephoned Khrushchev at Gagra, a resort on the Black Sea, telling him to return to Moscow for a committee meeting on policy matters. Khrushchev angrily replied that he was first sec- retary and would decide upon meetings. He could not be ordered around. The secret police turned up at Gagra a short time later and five of them escorted Khrushchev to Moscow. The sources declined to use the term "arrest" but said the pressure approached that. Outvoted A fighting mad Khrushchev was outvoted in a meeting of the 11-member Presidium of the 170-member Central Committee. When this happened before, in 1957, Khrushchev rallied the Cen- tral Committee to his side, overruled the Presidium vote and ousted his opponents, including former Premier G. M. Malenkov and ex- foreign minister, V. M. Molotov. This time, Mikhail Suslov presented the Central Committee an indictment of Khrushchev, charging both personal and policy short- comings. Khrushchev replied, then looked around at his followers, ex- pecting support. Loses Jobs No one spoke up for him and Khrushchev lost the first secre- tary's job, the premiership and the seat on the Presidium he had held since 1939.= The momentous decision was announced last Thursday. There has been no indication whether he also was removed from the Central Committee. Reports are circulating that Khrushchev is writing a paper, possibly a defense of self-criticism. It is doubtful a defense would be made known to the public. The new Soviet leaders probably would welcome a Khrushchev self-criticism document to explain to the Communist world why he was dumped. No word has come from official sources as to where Khrushchev is now. One unverified report has him confined to an apartment in Moscow. At Last-YOUR Chance!

Paul van Buren is a theologian and professor at Temple University. His book, The Secular Meaning of the Gospel, has somewhat shaken the traditional theologians of our time. He is lecturing at the University on Tues., October 27, Wed., October 28, and Thursday, October 29, on the subject: "The Elsewhere in Eastern Europe, theF Polish, Hungarian and Czecho- slovak parties have openly prais-1 ed Khrushchev. The new Soviet leaders, Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev and Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, have tried to reassure the restless Com- munist parties abroad. Both pledg- ed at ceremonies Monday welcom- ing the three Soviet cosmonauts to continue policies laid down by Khrushchev. In the restless Soviet bloc, Pre- mier, Janos Kadar of Hungary, fore example, praised Khrushchev forI his "outstanding merits in thef fight against the Stalinist per-t sonality cult and in the main- tenance of world peace." East Germany's Politburo ex- pressed confidence in the new So- viet leaders but said, "it is known that comrade Khrushchev has al- so won merits in carrying out the1 Marxist-Leninist policy." Luigi Longo, chief of ItalianI Communists, told a rally, "The way in which comrade Khrush-1 chev has been replaced leaves us worried and critical. This way in- dicates the process toward the res- toration of the Leninist method of free debate inside the Communist movement is slow and uncertain." The French Communist Party7 said yesterday it wants more in- formation on "conditions and methods" by which. Khrushchev was ousted. The big French party, second only in the Western world1 to the Italian Communist Party, said, in order to get the answers, "the political bureau has decided to ask the Central Committee ofI the Communist Party of the So- viet Union to receive a delegation of the French Communist Party." Israel's Communist Party paidJ tribute to Khrushchev and asked£ Moscow for more information on his ouster.E The Norwegian Communist Par-2 ty organ Frihetgn said Khrushchev did not deserve "to be thrown into the gutter." It questioned that Khrushchev's age and failing health were the factors and said if he made mistakes his successors must share the responsibility. Denmark's Communist newspa- per, Land Og Folk, said ! a cam-I paign in the Soviet Union to down- grade Khrushchev has been halt-j ed because of the adverse reaction. WE~magmaggammamassas t Rap 'Auto Industry Governor REED CITY (P) -- Minnesota Gov. Karl Rolvaag went to bat for the Michigan Democratic team Tuesday-taking a swing at Re- publican Gov. George Romney. Rolvaag spoke at a 14-county dinner for Congressman Neil Stae- bler, the Democratic gubernator- ial candidate, and Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich). "The Democratic Party knows you can't run a democratic gov- ernment by computer or slide rule -or, like a large automobile com- pany-but rather with compassion and understanding," Rolvaag said. Obvious Slapsj It was an obvious slap at Rom- ney, former president of the Amer- ican Motors Corp., and a repeti- tion of a pet theme of Staebler's. The Democratic candidate har complained frequently that Rom- ney tries to run the state like a manufacturing firm-issuing or- ders and directives. "He simply cannot understand any disagreement with his point of view," Staebler has said fre- quently. Rolvaag credited Staebler and Tom Downs, United Auto Workers attorney and former constitution- al convention vice-president, with his hair-breadth victory in the 1962 election. Recount Rolvaag was named governor after a four-month recount gave him a 91 vote margin. He had called Staebler for help. The re- quest was eventually handled by Downs-now a candidate for the first district in the new state court of appeals. Downs, he said, "worked with- out compensation; ,organized our lawyers and set up the recount procedures. It brought out the best in Minnesota-the best in both political parties." Rolvaag delivered an appeal for Democratic victories before a crowd of 700 in the predominant- ly Republican northwest corner of the state. Local Record A crowd of that size-reportedly a local record - in that area "means something is stirring in Michigan," Staebler said. "And we're going to stir that fellow in Lansing out of a job." In Saginaw earlier, Staebler spent nearly an hour in a closed- door meeting with UAW Regional Director Kenneth Robinson, but did not disclose the nature of the meeting. He addressed a Mexican civic group there, calling for federal legislation to extend the same protections to native American mi- grant laborers that are now en- joyed by Mexican nations. He also assailed changes in the state workmen's compensation and un- employment laws under the Rom- ney administration. I ness and well-bleing of Michligan'sr'' senior citizens.

George Romney has pledged to seek property tax relief for senior citizens and said he still believes a tax' deferral plan would best meet the problem. The pledge was one point in an address by Romney Tuesday night on his past record and future plans to tackle problems of the elderly. "Better care and higher living standards for senior citizens who are sick and needy must have top priority in Michigan's society of the future. We must continue to r - mobilize our governmental and private resources to that end," Romney said.

"I still believe," said Romney, "that property tax deferral can offer more help to more people than anyother reasonable pro-; gram in the same area.j "My pledge at this time, how- ever, is to do what I can to pro- vide some form of tax relief that is both reasonable and meaning, ful." Romney said however that what he palled the "humiliating prac- tice" of lien provisions should be eliminated from old age assist- ance and medical assistance acts. "By accepting these helps," said the governor, "pride and dignity suffer and the final indignity is the filing of a fifth class claim by the state against their older persons' estates upon death."
